"This collapse of civilization was paid for by the Democratic National Committee."

The vote of an American citizen is one of the most valuable things on Earth, and should be safeguarded accordingly. The idea that requiring voters to adequately identify themselves before voting is "intimidation" is, not to put too fine a point on it, a load of rank, smelly bullcrap.

Think about the potential for people to show up at a polling place, representing themselves as the voters named on some of those bogus voter registrations we mentioned earlier.

Then think about elections becoming largely meaningless things which have no impact on who runs the country.

I am all too aware that just under half the country may think that's where we are anyway. The staff of the Democratic National Committee makes very nice livings BS-ing people into believing that, and they have a very efficient nationwide network of people to spread their lies for them.

If all of a sudden, people didn't think that when they lost an election, it happened strictly according to the law, the DNC would all have to settle for being much less important than they now conceive themselves to be.

The problem with stirring up anger and hatred in other people's hearts is that it's not a very exact science. Ask Yassir Arafat - the bastard spent his entire career twisting the tail of the tiger he was riding harder and harder to distract its attention from the fat man riding on top of it. If the news reports are accurate, he may already be talking the matter over with a fellow named Shaitan.

The concept of non-stop intifada didn't just happen. Once the Oslo Accords eliminated much of the reason for Yassir Arafat to exist, he needed more unrest just to stay alive, so he had more unrest and has had as much unrest as he needs ever since. Presumably his successors in the "terror as a business" dodge will need even more unrest.

The several potential Yassir Arafats here in the States - the David Dukes, Pat Buchanans, Al Sharptons and Louis Farrakhans may at some point decide to kick it up a notch beyond the very capable work of Terry McAuliffe and James Carville, and convince the people in this country who live in perpetual anger that someone somewhere has it better than they do - what Winston Churchill called "the politics of envy" - to rip our country apart.

Eventually this rhetoric will find tangible expression, as it did during the summer riots of the late Sixties or early Seventies, or the rise of the so-called militias in the Eighties and Nineties.

Anyone want a second Civil War, this time with modern communications, data processing, weapons technology - mass weapons technology, including chemical, biological, radiological and even nuclear weapons - and cryptology? The Democrats are taking us there with their politics of envy and rage and tactics of personal demonization

The new, divisive, demonizing party politics to build up power bases by drastically exaggerating conflicts between groups in society is heading us right down that road. How long before Al-Qaeda and the other Islamofascist groups buy into and deepen the forces splitting our fractured nation as they have in so many other countries?

Maybe by then, the fortunate people high up in the Democratic National Committee will be able to move away from this country before we start actually shooting at each other because we see each other as "those people in the other party." It won't be their problem any more, will it?

Just one more mess they walked away from.

Colorado - 2004's Political Mutant Farm?
Topic: Democrat Voter Fraud
When I was in elementary school in the 1960s, the Atomic Energy Commission used to send these films around for us to watch in class showing this farm over at their plant near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It consisted of a garden all planted in concentric circular rows around a cobalt-60 gamma-ray source. Up close to the gamma-ray emitter, of course, nothing grew, because everything had been killed.

But a little past that distance, there were... things horrible enough to make nine-year old kids go "cool... " - fifty-pound peanuts, twisted and bumpy ears of corn in which the kernels were all different hues, sizes and shapes, pea pods colored and shaped in ways that made hallucinogenic drugs redundant - Hieronymus Bosch's Victory Garden.

That's what Colorado's going to look like, politically speaking, this month thanks to the Democratic National Committee's tactic of trying to win Presidential elections in court, even before the polls are completely closed. Thanks to both high and low jinks, Colorado's going to get more than its fair share of electoral lawsuits.

Example - recently, the judge hearing a lawsuit over the proposed (on a ballot initiative in this election) amendment to the State constitution not only awarding Colorado's electoral votes for the Presidential Election a basis proportional to the popular vote, but doing so RETROACTIVELY, refused to rule on whether the Colorado State Constitution could be so modified, on the basis that he didn't have the necessary jurisdiction.

The lawsuits in courts which DO have the necessary jurisdiction, up to and including the Supreme Court of the United States, to rule on this two-headed calf of an amendment are just the beginning of the fun.

- Over 9,000 voter registrations have been identified as very suspicious, several thousand of those being parolees and other convicts who don't get to vote; other registrations were simply forged. Registrations obtained in this fashion could be used to create bogus votes, valuable commodities in a "swing state" for a party which is committed to winning "by any means necessary."

Only ONE voter registration worker (one of hundreds of people paid to register "new voters" - paid in many cases only if an hourly quota of new voters is met, or if the voters register for certain parties) has been brought up on charges related to these bogus registrations.

Despite these facts, the state Attorney General, who gets to investigate these cases and who is also the Democratic candidate for the US Senate this year, has not recused himself from any investigations of these registrations or of the unethical practices used to obtain them.

We can look for a lawsuit at the very least to suppress the bogus registrations; one would think an inquiry - a Federal inquiry - into what may be a conflict of interest with far-reaching implications would be called for, too.

- "Provisional voting," in which it is not even necessary to produce photo ID to vote (subject to protest by the voter registered under that name), is another new feature of the Colorado voting system (it's supposedly being evaluated for nationwide use) ripe for lawsuits - as it should be.

The vote of an American citizen is one of the most valuable things on Earth, and should be safeguarded accordingly. The idea that requiring voters to adequately identify themselves before voting is "intimidation" is, not to put too fine a point on it, a load of rank, smelly bullcrap.

Think about the potential for people to show up at a polling place, representing themselves as the voters named on some of those bogus voter registrations we mentioned earlier.

If all that stands in the way of acceptance of a bogus provisional ballot is the protest of a voter who doesn't exist, or who has better things to do than check to see if someone fradulently used his vote, or who doesn't even know that he or she has the right TO protest, then a huge number of fradulent votes may have already been cast (Denver and other other parts of Colorado have "early voting" over several days before an election to encourage voter turnout).

- Heavy use of absentee ballots, another "innovation" pushed in the name of election reform, may paradoxically add to the welter of lawsuits surrounding the Colorado elections.

Absentee ballots were originally intended to make it easier for the infirm and those otherwise unable to turn out on Election Day at the polls (such as servicemen or others whose work or other plans take them away from home for elections) to vote.

However, one can request an absentee ballot by mail, making it easy again for bogus votes to be cast, in some cases (when mail is vulnerable to theft or diversion), without the actual registered voter's knowledge.

- The Democratic National Committee has formally instructed local party organizers to complain about incidents of racism or other intimidation whether or not they have happened. In the old days, we used to call this "filing a false report" and throw the people who did it in jail.

It seems reasonable that bogus accusations of this sort will be used, as they were in Florida in 2000, to prop up DNC-funded lawsuits against local registrars of voters.

Since Colorado's Attorney General is himself a candidate supported by the Democratic Party and a recipient of Democratic National Committee largesse, the state's defense in these cases may well be even less spirited than their current prosecution of thousands of bogus voter registrations.

Remember, so far only ONE man has been charged with generating only about 20-30 bogus registrations out of several thousand, and the Attorney General's Office commented that the firm which employed him was probably "a victim."

Investigative reporters with the Denver papers and TV stations found out as early as this August that the "victim" in this case, the firm employing the accused man, is under investigation in several states for incidents of fraud involving legal petitions and voter registration drives.

So, if the voters of Colorado are expecting Ken Salazar to fight the theft of this election by the Democratic Party, they're apt to be disappointed.

Of course, you never know - depending on exactly how accommodating Ken Salazar has been to the Democratic National Committee and its 527-funded cat's paws, his Federal service may be done not in the Senate, but in an institution where he doesn't get to vote on ANYTHING.

And Inauguration Day may come and go before the question of exactly who won the national elections in Colorado is answered - because voting in Colorado has mutated to the point where it may be bearing very strange fruit indeed.

Fear, Loathing and John Kerry - Finally, an endorsement that SAYS something.
Topic: Unintentional truths

"When John Kerry came to Aspen in June, he appointed Thompson his designated host, gave him pride of place in his motorcade, and bought three copies of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, Thompson's outstanding account of Nixon's re-election (viciously illustrated by Steadman). Kerry then made a speech in which he declared that he was considering making Hunter S Thompson his Vice President:

Robert Chalmers, "Hunter S Thompson: More fear and loathing on the campaign trail," the Independent, 31 October 2004

Among the lickspittle Marxist birdcage liners of the world, the Independent has distinguished itself as the logical successor to Pravda.

No alcohol-fueled hallucination regarding the current administration has been too out there for the Independent to publish, no slander of Tony Blair or George Bush too foul (within the commendably strict guidelines of British libel laws).

It's no surprise, then, that they would have the necessary connections to meet with "Doctor" Hunter S Thompson, the inventor of "gonzo journalism," and the man who once said "I hate to recommend alcohol, drugs and violence to young journalists, but they've always worked for me," at his home in Aspen, Colorado.

For those of you reading this too young to remember The Good Doctor's background, Robert Chalmers was kind enough to fill us in:

"Some would argue that Dr Thompson himself is a case study in at least one of the above conditions. His title is a self-awarded doctorate in Gonzo journalism, the term he invented to describe his drug-fuelled, often sublime pieces in which abuse and profanity are as common as love and redemption in the Gospel of St John. In what remains his best-known work, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, first published in Rolling Stone 33 years ago, brilliantly enlivened by Steadman's illustrations, the writer took the Wodehousian bachelor's blithe and adventurous attitude to alcohol and extended it to LSD and munitions."

BLOGGER NOTE: Perhaps Kerry thinks he'll get points with the NRA by hanging out with Thompson....

"Hunter S Thompson is not regarded as one of world journalism's easier subjects.

"Interviewing Hunter," Loren Jenkins [Newsweek bureau chief in Saigon, currently based in Baghdad] told me, "was the most excruciating experience of my life."

"It's a combination of things, really: the ubiquitous firearms and narcotics; his nocturnal regime and sudden mood swings. I first encountered him in the early 1990s when I was working for another newspaper which had decided to send him to join the Royal press corps for the Highland Games. I met Thompson at Gatwick, at 6am. He lit his hash pipe while we were still in sight of the customs hall and insisted on being driven to Smithfield Market for whisky. When we reached his hotel, he barricaded himself in his suite for 36 hours, then fled back to Aspen in the middle of the night. His subsequent faxes referred to me as an "evil treacherous dingbat" and a "weird limey freak".

"In a strange way," says Ralph Steadman, "insults are Hunter's way of articulating affection."

"Going up the driveway to his ranch - before you see the wandering peacocks and the Cadillac convertible commemorated in his writing as the Red Shark - you pass incrementally threatening signs such as "Keep Out" and "Danger Zone", culminating in: "Guns in Constant Use".

"Last time I was here with Steadman, in 1996, Thompson was on trial for drink-driving and, at one point, told the judge that his arresting officer had been "lurking under a bridge, like a troll". He now takes the powder from his black bowl orally; a strategy forced on him, some believe, by damage to his nasal septum. Over the years he has been acquitted on charges including possession of drugs and explosives. In July 2000, he shot his then assistant Deborah Fuller and told reporters she'd been wounded because he had "mistaken her for a bear". He was not prosecuted. Thompson tosses me the empty shotgun cartridge, which he's signed and dated."

Aspen, for those unacquainted with the place, is where the unjustifiably rich - movie stars and such - go to complain about the capitalist system that has made it possible for them to play in the snow - the stuff outside on the slopes AND the white stuff specially brought in from the Andes specifically for the movie crowd - when just about everyone else in the United States has to work.

By putting Hunter S. Thompson in the running for Vice-President, Kerry pretty much gives us an idea of what his Administration would be like - heavy on the Fear and Loathing, with ample amounts of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

380 Tons Of BS or, Kerry Just Doesn't "Get" Loyalty
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Kerry's Lies and Spin

Losing track of 380 tons of high explosive is a serious charge. You don't accuse someone of having done something like that without an investigation.

President George W. Bush understands that. He ordered an investigation when foreigners from the International Atomic Energy Agency waited until four days before the election to accuse the US Army of losing nearly 400 tons of high explosive.

He didn't rush to cover his ass, or hang a subordinate out to dry.

Kerry doesn't quite "get" that loyalty goes both ways.

In exchange for swearing to obey lawful orders (even the most idiotic ones conceivable), living almost as far away from home as possible for months on end, willingly risking being killed, shot, tortured, beheaded on camera, and in general doing one of the worst, most thankless jobs there is, our soldiers are entitled to the benefit of the doubt when accused of screwing up.

In fact, there's a whole investigation process mandated by Federal Law which John "Fortunate Son" Kerry decided to dispense with, accusing everyone from the sentries posted to guard the explosives all the way up to their Commander-in-Chief of wrongdoing based on the word of a UN agency which has totally failed to distinguish itself in the realm of accurate assessment of where weapons of mass destruction (like hundred-ton lots of high explosives) might be.

But the UN would like John Kerry to win this election, and they decided to help out a little, it looks like. Why wait three years to tell us about a trifling matter like 380 missing tons of HE, unless this was to be Kerry's "October Surprise"?

One more reason to keep the President we have, the one who understands which flag to salute - ours.

Kerry seems to rotate like the weathervane he resembles, saluting our flag, then the Viet Cong's, then ours again, then the UN flag... as he struggles with the concept of loyalty.

In fairness to himself and us, perhaps Kerry should just resign from the Presidential race until he can take the Oath of Office in good conscience, honestly giving allegiance to the Constitution and loyalty to those whom he would be serving.

Another Libertarian for Bush
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Taking back our Culture
In an article posted to World Net Daily today Dr. John Hospers, the FIRST Libertarian Party candidate for the Presidency of the United States urged Libertarians to vote to re-elect President Bush.

In the article, Dr. Hospers said "I still believe in those principles as strongly as ever, but this year - more than any year since the establishment of the Libertarian Party - I have major concerns about the choices open to us as voting Americans," he wrote in his letter.

"There is a belief that's common among many libertarians that there is no essential difference between the Democrat and Republican Parties - between a John Kerry and a George W. Bush administration; or worse: that a Bush administration would be more undesirable. Such a notion could not be farther from the truth, or potentially more harmful to the cause of liberty."

Hospers goes on to decry John Kerry and his policies, saying the Democratic nominee is part of the "International Totalitarian Left in company with the Hillary and Bill Clintons, the Kofi Annans, the Ted Kennedys, and the Jesse Jacksons of the world."

The former candidate said if Kerry's party wins the presidency it could spell disaster for the nation:

"The Democratic Party today is a haven for anti-Semites, racists, radical environmentalists, plundering trial lawyers, government employee unions, and numerous other self-serving elites who despise the Constitution and loathe private property. ... They will attempt to enact 'hate speech' and 'hate crime' laws and re-institute the Fairness Doctrine, initiate lawsuits, and create new regulations designed to suppress freedom of speech and intimidate their political adversaries."

Hospers continues his letter with more analysis of Kerry himself.

"Kerry, who changes direction with the wind, has tried to convince us that he now disavows the anti-military sentiments that he proclaimed repeatedly in the l970s," he wrote. "But in fact he will weaken our military establishment and devastate American security by placing more value on the United Nations than on the United States. ... In his 30-year career he has demonstrated utter contempt for America, national security, constitutional republicanism, democracy, private property and free markets."

Turning his attention to Bush, Hospers criticizes several of this policies, but then adds, "His great virtue, however, is that he has stood up - knowingly at grave risk to his political viability - to terrorism when his predecessors, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton did not. On many occasions during their administrations terrorists attacked American lives and property. Clinton did nothing, or engaged in a feckless retaliation such as bombing an aspirin factory in the Sudan (based on faulty intelligence, to boot). Then shortly after Bush became president he was hit with 'the big one': 9-11. It was clear to him that terrorism was more than a series of criminal acts: it was a war declared upon the U.S. and indeed to the entire civilized world long before his administration. He decided that action had to be taken to protect us against future 9-11s involving weapons of mass destruction, including 'suitcase' nuclear devices."

"Hospers then lists what he considers Bush's accomplishments: "Afghanistan is no longer a safe haven for terrorists. Saddam's regime is no longer a major player in the worldwide terror network. Libya has relinquished their weapons of terror. The Pakistani black market in weapons of mass destruction has been eliminated. Arafat is rotting in Ramallah. Terrorist cells all over the world have been disrupted, and thousands of terrorists killed. The result: Americans are orders of magnitude safer."

"Hospers hails Bush's tax cuts, the first in 15 years, and reminds his fellow Libertarians that the president has as goals a revision of the income tax code and market-based reform of Social Security.

"Concludes Hosper:

"Thus far, [leftists'] long-term plans have been quite successful. A Kerry presidency will fully open their pipeline to infusions of taxpayer-funded cash and political pull. At least a continued Bush presidency would help to stem this tide, and along the way it might well succeed in preserving Western Civilization against the fanatic Islamo-fascists who have the will, and may shortly have the weapons capability, to bring it to an end."

AMEN.
______

I wasn't crazy about Bush in 2000, but I voted for him anyway and was surprised at what a good President he proved to be.

As a Libertarian myself, I have to look at Bush'e record versus Kerry's record and his supporters, all of whom seem to want (when you take their stands together) a weaker America with essentially no way to defend herself in the world at large; and our tax monies poured out for Kerry's political cronies to enjoy.

Kerry is many, many times the the threat to human liberty Bush is, and those are the choices we face - not between bad and slightly worse, but between a tolerable future under Bush and a completely disastrous one under Kerry.

Just don't elect Kerry, PLEASE. Vote for Bush, because it's going to be very close.

Plan B (after Bush beats Kerry like a rug this November)?
Topic: War Criminal Candidates
From the Nov. 7, 1971, Sunday Oklahoman

"The political power structure within the United States can and must change if the nation is to avoid violent efforts to seize power, John F. Kerry, a member of the executive committee of the-Vietnam Veterans Against the War, said in Oklahoma Saturday.

"Meeting with reporters before speaking at the University of Oklahoma, Kerry said, 'If it (the government) doesn't change we are asking for trouble. If it is not done, those who are talking about seizing it will have every right to go after it.'

Topic: Unintentional truths
A while back, John Forbes Kerry (back when Shrum was still writing Kerry's stump material - it looks like they've recruited Howard Dean lately) went around in front of grown adults for weeks screaming about the "W" in "George W. Bush" standing for "Wrong" and maybe worse stuff than that.

I know this is a late hit, but what does the "F" in "John F. Kerry" stand for?

ADULT LANGUAGE WARNING










"Foolish?"

Considering that the best Kerry is doing right now is a "statistical tie" in the Zogby polls (which means Bush is leading, just not by more than the degree to which the poll could be wrong considering its statistical design, it just doesn't look good for the Vietnam hero who won't release all of his records - even though Kerry was petulant hypocrite enough to demand Bush release all of his records.

And the Swift Boat Veterans 30 second spots are running after Rather Biased on our local CBS affiliate (which is also CBS-owned - pretty stand-up of KCNC, Channel 4 in Denver, to even accept the ad).

I believe the Swifties a LOT more than I believe Kerry.

All he'd have to do to make these guys look like fools is release those records - unless Kerry and his people are lying and the Swifties are pretty much right that Kerry's record in Vietnam betrays huge defects in character and personal honor.

Spinning Class with Charlie Rose

Topic: Kerry's Lies and Spin
Just in case

- The News Hour with Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifill's rudeness to non-liberal guests,

- NOW with Bill "Crankier Every Day" Moyers, and

- an alleged news documentary the other day which had CBS fake memo source Bill Burkett as just another Vietnam vet, which is sort of like casting Charlton Heston as just another leftist actor from the '50s

wasn't enough overt political programming on PBS, there's Charlie Rose, Dan Rather's Book End.

On today's episode, Charlie had:

- ABC News' political director Mark Halperin for some really uncomfortable-to-watch mutual admiration and very enjoyable to watch hard-core anguished denial about the crack John Kerry's behind is in, electorally speaking;

- Two other guests, each with a new book to sell about the hash we're making of relations with militant Islam (as opposed of the hash the new Iraqi National Guard and the US Armed Forces is making OF militant Muslims dumb enough to dance with them in Fallujah lately)

One of the people with new books to flog was French (and who was actually was much more moderate and sensible than Charlie Rose), the other was an Arab law professor at UCLA Law School (and he was quick to explain, that was he was trained both in "sharia law" and good old fashioned American theft with a fountain pen).

With great big compassionate puppy eyes, Charlie Rose asked each of these fellows if it wouldn't have been better if we hadn't gone into Iraq at least twice.

Impeccable timing, considering whose Presidential campaign this helps.

God, please defend me from the temptation to describe my impressions of Mr. Rose's character.

Charlie Rose, one more Democratic apologist and propagandist posing as a journalist from Texas, gets to play talk-stick jockey on publicly-funded television network affiliate stations.

None of the local (Rocky Mountain PBS - I get two separate stations) affiliates apparently have notion one about objectivity, and both are pitching in with Kerry's campaign - if only by running PBS/CPB programming with blatant pro-Kerry bias - as though their fat charitable endowments depended on it.

Well, having to replace Jim Lehrer's Slanted News Chow with local content... ooooh, I don't know about that.

All of Charlie Rose's programming is either tax-paid or paid for by tax-exempt charitable organizations - who should be tap-dancing in front of the Federal Elections Commission explaining why they're helping John Kerry on the public dime, and whether they've filed the requisite paperwork with the Internal Revenue Service.

Hey, I'd pay to watch that.

Intimidation and racism - fine old Democratic (Party) traditions.
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Democrat Voter Fraud
The DNC sending a memo to its constituent groups to do those "pre-emptive strikes," essentially, "oh, hy the way, be sure to complain about racism and intimidation at the polling place, whether it happened or not, guys" is a little ironic.

You know all those guys with fire hoses, foaming at the mouth police dogs, white housewives turning out every day to hurl unspeakable obscenities at little African-American kids whose only sin was going to a "white" school, cops in riot gear wielding truncheons at protesters, the dirtbags who blew churches up or set them on fire in the 1960s and even the 1970s?

In the South back then, most of them would have been Democrats.

I grew up in the South, and I remember being taught about the two-party system. My teacher: "Yes, there are two parties, and you can join the Republican Party, but you'd just be wasting your vote."

In the school's mock election the next year, I gave the Libertarian candidate's speech and except for the eight wonderful years between 1980 and 1988, have been Libertarian ever since.

We even have a proud veteran of the century-long Democratic tradition of intimidating voters in the name of race serving in the US Senate - why, it's Senator Robert K. Byrd of the great state of West Virginia - longtime Democrat AND Klansman.

That's not just a Southern issue, either - unless you count "South Boston" (as in "the Southie riots") or the Midnight School Bus Burnings in Michigan, where the enthusiasm of northern Democrats for busing and integration (gee, a story of hatred and prejudice Michael Moore seems to have missed - and in his own back yard!) was on full display.

And I wonder how many of those good people in the 8 Mile subdivision Eminem did so much to make famous - the people who actually built a wall through a subdivision to show the bankers and the insurance salesmen where the white people and where the African-Americans lived - voted and registered Democrat? Almost all of them, maybe?

No, the minute the Democrats point the finger at people in other parties for "racism" and "intimidation," immediately three fingers point reflexively back at them - it ought to be more, but you get the idea.

The Democratic Party has forgotten more about strong-arming and intimidating voters, stuffing ballot-boxes and just plain cheating in elections than anyone else knows on the subject. At the very same time the press was going whack-o about "butterfly ballots" in Florida, the Democratic machine in Illinois had counted those very same ballots without a peep from the press.

But I'm sure that there are notes written down somewhere, so Terry McAuliffe can relax about the details of any of those tricks his party might have forgotten.

There's more to this story than the incredible hypocrisy of the DNC, though.

The Drudge memo could foreshadow something really nasty the Democrats have in mind for Election Day - actual intimidation of voters BY DEMOCRATS.

If the Democrats themselves are planning a campaign of intimidation against Republican and other voters, what better way to kick it off than with a timed barrage of accusations about the poor folks at the polling stations or the system at large?

Especially if, as we know is entirely plausible, the Democrats can count on national news coverage that either covers up or minimizes Democrat misconduct ("just public-spirited Americans haranguing or assaulting people who look like Bush voters, no news here, people") while inventing or exaggerating Republican misconduct?

A baaaad moon might be on the rise in November, people.

If we (the people of the United States of America, acting through our elected leaders and our government) are going to be accused of intimidation tactics anyway, this actually EMPOWERS us, ("us" again being the people of the United States of America}.

Having an advance indication that ONE side of the political scene at least envisions falsely accusing us of racism and intimidation on Election Day, is it not reasonable to take precautions which would reduce or eliminate the danger of such intimidation?

We have a National Guard which can be mobilized either by the state's governors or by the President of the United States.

We should consider arming the members of the National Guard not presently deployed in support of national security operations and distributing them to each polling station in the United States to support duly constituted polling station officials.

These Guardsmen should be armed - with loaded firearms in whose use they are trained - and placed at the disposal of the official in charge of each polling station, to prevent acts of intimidation by ANYONE from occurring.

Quick-reaction forces of Guardsmen should be made available to respond to organized violence or acts of racism or intimidation at polling places.

Local police agencies should consider stationing an officer or two at each polling station and making their special weapons and tactics forces available for quick-reaction against any organized acts of intimidation or racism.

If there really is a potential for acts of intimidation or racism at polling places in this country, let's stop them before they start.

But if McAuliffe and the other people leading the Democratic Party are just making accusations up in order to tilt things their way, than that's something else we need to stop before it starts.

The Drudge memo is evidence of a conspiracy to falsely allege electoral code violations in the upcoming elections.

People have been thrown in jail for much, much less. Martha Stewart is in jail for the exact same offense (at the Federal level). If NOBODY went to jail for this, we would know that something is fundamentally wrong with the system of justice in this country.

If this, as the Drudge memo seems to show, is a conspiracy to make numerous false accusations intended to sabotage the election system of our country, then what we have here is an organized attempt by the Democratic National Committee to overthrow the lawful government of the United States of America by unlawful means.

The Internal Security Act of 1950 is all about dealing with THAT, and it was written when the Democratic left wing was just the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Communist Party.

Fortunately, good ideas never die.

It's time the Democratic National Committee either accepted a role in the government of the United States of America and stopped trying to subvert and sabotage its operations with their lies

A certain number of Americans will die in Iraq today.

Dan Rather intones this fact on The CBS Evening News, along with footage of John Kerry going on and on about how we should not be in this "W for Wrong" war in the first place, and that the blood of each of those men and women are on the hands of George W. Bush and the Republican Party.

Jim Lehrer will bleat the names of the dead on the PBS News Hour, then run several interviews with antiwar activists and talking heads, and clips from Kerry campaign appearances cut so that Kerry gets more uncut face time for free on PBS than he does in his own paid campaign spots.

Al-Qaeda operatives carefully note what the murder of our troops overseas does to the current President.

Orders go out for more murders.

A certain number of Americans will die in Iraq tomorrow.

Dan Rather will intones this fact on The CBS Evening News....

In college we used to call this a feedback loop.

When I was studying about feedback it was the mid-1980s, and Kerry was attacking everything the Republican president in office back then did.

In college, we called John Kerry a traitor, when we thought about him at all. Kerry was the witless jerk who could usually be seen screaming on the news about what a great guy Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega was and how horrible the CIA was for trying to give Nicaragua back to its people.

John Kerry is STILL a traitor - to the idea of democracy, because he testified in Congress that Communism, "benevolent dictatorship" (his words - and do we need a President who EVER thought a dictatorship could be benevolent?) and democracy were all morally equivalent.

The POWs who were being tortured by the North Vietnamese and hearing Kerry's false accusations about those "war crimes" they supposedly did probably considered Kerry a traitor.

In fact, if Kerry had uttered those words inside a North Vietnamese Army prison instead of a cozy Senate hearing room, he could have been prosecuted for Misconduct While a Prisoner of War.

The depth of the moral cesspit that is John Kerry is too deep to plumb, and no one seems to be paying attention.

If it didn't happen on TV, it didn't happen, right?

And, then as now, John Kerry's friends decide what happens on TV.
