DECAPITATED MAN--CEMETERY

RUMOR OR FACT?

A dead man was found in an Aruban cemetery. His throat had been slit; partial decapitation. Initial rumors were that the man had acquired a Columbian Neck Tie.

The man's wife was arrested for the murder.

A JOGGER WITNESS

RUMOR OR FACT?

A jogger witness phoned ALE sometime after 5/31 to relate what the witness saw. There was no one manning the phones; a message was left by the caller.

At a later time, ALE put out the information and requested the jogger to call again.

After no apparent response, information was passed around that the jogger was wanted as a possible suspect.

WHY NOT LOOKING FOR DEEPAK?

A poster on another website questioned why H/T were not looking for Deepak's residence.

Deepak Kalpoe = DK
Holloway/Twitty = H/T

The answer may be simple. They didn't know about Deepak until the two were together at VDS residence. Much of the early hours are looking for Dutch student, with a particular car.

One MB student saw NH getting into a car, probably with JVDS. Some students knew his name was Joran. H/T followed the trail because of the gambling information. H/T might not have known Deepak was involved before JVDS, DK, and the car, were together that first night.

If H/T didn't know about Deepak, and were only searching for Joran, they would not have been looking for Deepak's home.

LIE # 1--EXCHANGE STUDENT?

.
JVDS = Joran Van Der Sloot

JVDS as an "exchange student from Holland staying at the Holiday Inn" has been rumored. He was from Holland, and he was a student; but, he wasn't staying at the Holiday Inn and he wasn't an exchange student.

Many believe this is just "boys will be boys," a typical invention to make yourself look better--more impressive. Whether or not it's harmful or humorous would depend upon the subsequent events and the intent. We can guess, and might be wrong.

If John (a pedophile) were to email a child and state that he (John) is 13 years old, you can strongly suspect the intent is not good. The subsequent actions of John would determine the true intent. (Don't get excited, it's just an example.)

Whatever the purpose, whatever the words used, the determination of harmful or humorous (innocent) hinges on what comes next. Whatever you wish to call it, we have: LIE #1.

****STARTING OVER****

It has been months since I blogged here. Many things have happened in the world and in ordinary life. Although I enrolled in the "blogging adiction program," it didn't work and here I am, again.

This time, I'm attempting to find some truth concerning the Natalee Holloway case. Can a person on the Net solve the case of a missing young women? I wouldn't believe that, but I would believe that bloggers are working at it. I would believe that someone could develop information on a rumor to prove or disprove the rumor.

Someone, somewhere, may contribute an idea which works. This blog may be able to sort through the ideas and help straighten out the mess, but I doubt that it will solve the mystery. The purpose is to be helpful.

And so, the Blog is starting over. Looking at the Holloway case is the next phase of blogging for me.

Rule #1: Everything is offered IMHO.

Rule #2: Truth is the ultimate objective. Opinions may change from day to day.

ARAFAT IS DEAD

USA Today

Fallujah--by embeds

BBC

BBC is providing LIVE UPDATES on Fallujah, according to Kurdo.


Hat Tip: Kurdo’s World

With HEART

Road of a Nation

The American elections is the key for Iraqis to stay on the same way and the line we started for freedom and independents ,and as that I am sure that the policy towards Iraq is something final and its apart of the national security of the united state ,and it will not change ,but for me I prefer GWB to continuo this mission ,because he have the ability to do that ,and he is the one that the terrorist afraid of ,

yes maybe Bin Laden is still free and a life ,but look to him where is he ,he is hiding ,waiting the chance every two or three year to show up for some moments ,and claming the ability to lead the world from a cave ,imagine , I wonder what and how he is thinking ,saying that I fight for the week people in the world ,and I represent the Muslims ,and all of us knows that week people and ordinary people never been in the equation at lest in the middle east that you came from ,and look what you did to Muslims you united the whole world in all different religions agents the Muslims all over the world ,even that you don’t represent them ,you only represent the extremes ,and they never accept to be part from any kind of the human life .


Bin laden is now only a shadow ,and he cant be more than that ,after he was a real threat for all free world ,he is now asking and trying to change GWB by appearing before the elections ,but he didn’t release that he united the American to get him ,and after he was roiling poor people in Afghanistan to make there life more miserable ,now look tom Afghanistan .


Iraq ,this is the most part id like ,what I and many and many of my people Waite to see ,a free liberated country ,and that will never be happened if we waited the mercy of the great friends of the exit regime ,or by our self's ,if we find them .look to Iraq and how he is walking with confidant steps towards what he want ,yes we got a lots of enemies and we got a long time to go ,but only it start with a sense and then turn to a feel and then to a wish and then to act ,and that what we dot together with our friends and only the real friends ,yes I support GWB because I see in him what I didn’t see in any modern leaders able to lead free nations .


I thing GWB did in 4 years what no one did ,from fighting the terrorist and help the nations to be free ,and he got the courage to go to the lands and fight them .


there for I wish that he be reelected ,so he accomplish what he start .


this is a copy from our latter to white house singed by some of Iraqis live here in Iraq ,and I write it by my hand write ,I hope that they will have the time to read it as a thankful letter from one of the people that GWB helped ,I at least chose my way did you ?

Here is an Iraqi. You can see his heart, and you don’t have to read his mind---he tells you what he is thinking.

For those who have not read Sarmad before, it is worth it. English is not his first language, but he expresses his feelings very well.

Here is a man who cares. Here is an Iraqi . . . with HEART.

DUELFER

Charles Duelfer reported that his convoy was attacked. Two were killed. Duelfer escaped injury.

Was Duelfer (Head of the Iraq Survey Group) the target, or was it a coincidence?

We are in the midst of flattening Fallujah’s terrorists. The Fallujah opposition has insisted that the Americans stay out. The area has not been thoroughly inspected.

Wonder what they will find in Fallujah.

DEMOCRATS

The Democrats can’t figure it out. Someone must have cheated.

Democrat talking heads are confused, and differ in their opinions of the cause. What went wrong? How can they fix it? Why not blame the Republicans?

The DLC brought out their statistics. Everybody voted for Bush except “high school drop-outs,” and post-graduates. (The DLC representative on C-SPAN didn’t mention prison inmates—-see earlier post about PA and Gov. Rendell.)

The answer is simple. You went so far to the left that you scared the middle, and you angered some of the silent majority. Your candidate was not inspiring; ran on his Vietnam record, and betrayed the troops—betrayed the people. Your message was that America could do nothing right and you had a plan.

You were part of the problem; not part of the solution. You might ask Zell Miller for his reasons (he’s still a Democrat.)

“America can do better.” So, we did. We voted Republican—-silently, with the majority.

It will take a while for the Democrats’ twitching to slow down.

ARAFAT

Yassir Arafat’s health reports are being spun from every direction. He was dead--then he wasn’t dead. In a coma--and not. On a respiration . . . yes. Or, is it no? But, they are going to pull the plug. Suha (his wife) said he was alive, and that they were trying to bury him alive. Initial reports state: that the Palestinian Authority want 72 hours before they announce Arafat’s death because they need the time to organize.

The spinning would be enough to put the Palestinian people into turmoil. Arafat was their leader for 40 years, which is enough to throw them into turmoil at his death. Through all the turmoil, Arafat’s death does appear to be imminent.

We wonder if the change will be for good, or for bad, or simply for more turmoil in a place of much turmoil.

Escaping Bush

We are hearing that people are threatening to escape Bush by fleeing, in doves, to Canada.

Um . . . excuse me! Could you take Michael Moore with you?

FLYOVER COUNTRY SPEAKS

The Mortician is dissecting the body. Democrats are spinning the issues and trying to tell us that we really were compatible with the Democrats . . . we just happened to choose Bush because . . .mumble, mumble, mumble. (please-- fill in the “mumble.”) Democrats, you probably haven’t figured it out, nor will you.

Why Americans voted for Bush may be examined for a long time. I believe part of it has to do with the Democrats becoming the party of hatred for months after the 2000 election. (They certainly caught my attention.)

The Democrats took a short breath after 9/11, but saw their opportunity with Iraq. Bush warned when he gave the “Axis of Evil Speech.” Iraq was on the list. Many “mouthed” words of support, and then turned. Then, the many bad-mouth the war, American, anything and everything we were doing. The agenda was formed. The Democrats joined with the far left, and the anti-war, and the radical liberals. And then, they began to chant Anti-American words—to the point where Saddam Hussein was saying the same. They took the position of France. They took the position of the U.N. They took almost every position to heart . . . except the real position which America believes.

The religious right didn’t believe the Democrats. The traditional married people didn’t believe the Democrats. The Patriotic Americans, who believe in supporting their government and their troops, didn’t believe the Democrats. The taxpayers didn’t believe Kerry could manage without increasing taxes. The “old folks” didn’t believe the “Social Security Surprise.” And when the Democrats introduced the draft bill into Congress, it was difficult for the American People to believe that it wasn’t a Democrat-inspired subterfuge; but, the Democrats were calling for more troops and many may have believed the Democrats were on the way to DRAFT.

Geraldine Ferraro is explaining that the Republicans have convinced the people that the Democrats have no values.

I voted for US and for IRAQ, and for continuing the fight of the War on Terror. We, ALL, joined to vote against the Democrats. Each for our own reasons; but, one of the biggest reasons might be that the Democrat Party did not represent the wishes of the large number of somewhat traditional people in FLYOVER COUNTRY.

It’s called the “Great Silent Majority.” It’s called “Flyover Country—the part of America between the Liberal on the East Coast, and those on the left coast, and those surrounding the lake shores. The planes of elite fly over US, and try to ignore US.

The quiet voters came marching out--the actions were "louder than the words.”

FLYOVER COUNTRY HAS SPOKEN.

The Arafat Confusion

ARAFAT

At a press conference, going on right now, one reporter stated that the word is that Yassir Arafat is gone, has passed away.

CNN: “French Hospital spokesman denies Arafat is dead.”

Whether or not it is fact, it would appear that parts of the Middle East will be undergoing another change.

Pundits Noticed Problems

Exit Polls Wrong

Susan Jones, CNSNews.com
Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2004

As Wednesday dawned with a Bush victory waiting in the wings, many pundits and press outlets were starting to question how Tuesday's exit polls could have been so wrong.

Those polls showed Kerry leading into Tuesday evening, only to be replaced with actual results that showed Kerry trailing.

The "New Toy" (as one pundit put it) was exit polling. The pundits will need a newer toy for the next election; this one didn't work very well for them, or for US. It was a fiasco.

While the pundits have less to do, maybe they will figure out what happened.

Congratulations Sent

In our last article and most simple questioner about the US election about 75% of the commentators in this site voted for GWB. Ultimately he won though not by 75% but we may say by majority (including Ohio) especially compared to 2000 election!

JK conceded after he was completely certain that no more hope otherwise he may have been walked the extra mile.

Now; the terrorists are unable to celebrate!

We still have a tough fight ahead. There are some happy Americans, and some happy Iraqis. There are some very unhappy terrorists. Good.

DONE, and waiting

I voted early today.

There were about 20 in front of us; about the same behind us. The line moved quickly and we were back out in about 10 minutes. It seemed to go very smoothly. The turn-out was very good. The number of voters was much higher (for that time of day) then in any election I remember.

There were the usual poll watchers. They were quiet, respectful. The workers looked over worked and still had hours before the counting begins. It’s a long day for them.

No one approached us on the way in, or on the way out---no exit polling.

In Philadelphia, there was an early problem. Several voting machines were questioned. Apparently, there were numbers registered on the machine prior to any voting. According to the news, there are two areas with numbers: one area with an odometer-like counter, which records the number of votes over the life of the machine; and, a lighted counter, which records the number of votes for this machine for this election. The lighted-counter on one machine indicated a few hundred votes. This was reported by a “technician” who stands by the observation.

Tire slashing was reported in Milwaukee. Texas has a snow storm.

And, we are all waiting. The first polls close at 7:00 EST.

TODAY'S THE DAY!

TOUGH JOB

Instapundit.com

Glenn Reynolds

To go back to a point that Virginia Postrel makes in the post linked below, perhaps I'm less unhappy with things in Iraq than, say, Andrew because I expected much worse. I thought we'd experience far more casualties in the invasion phase (which lasted three weeks) than we've experienced in the entire year and a half since the war began. My biggest disappointment is that the Administration hasn't taken more direct action against Syria and Iran, which are supporting the insurgency in the hope that it will cause us to elect Kerry and withdraw before doing anything about them. But I don't know what they know, and second-guessing them on this is perilous.

There were disaster predictions flying everywhere during the Afghan phase. Remember . . . our troops wouldn’t be able to survive an Afghan winter. No one has ever been able to conquer Afghanistan; the terrain is impenetrable. (Well, we weren’t trying to conquer the Afghan people—just the Talaban and Al Qaeda. Many Afghans cooperated.

IIRC, wasn’t there some mention of OIL? Were we in Afghanistan for the OIL? Where is it . . .? And, by the way, where is the OIL from Iraq?

We should be slipping and sliding in the stuff by now. Where is it?

Yes, I agree with Glenn: it looked like a tough job in Iraq, and it is a very TOUGH JOB, and will be a rough job which needs to be accomplished. But, I also expected more support from the Iraqis . . . until I noticed what was happening. When we needed them to stand tall and support this, they could not. It is getting better (in that respect) each day; but, it is dangerous and difficult.

Nevertheless, read the TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ (a few posts down). If the surveys are accurate, the IRAQI PEOPLE WANT DEMOCRACY (approx. 3/4 of Iraqis). and many believe in it "WHATEVER IT TAKES."

SADDAM'S TERRORIST CONNECTIONS

Hitchens

In Front of Your Nose
Yes, Saddam did have terrorist connections.
By Christopher Hitchens
Posted Monday, Oct. 25, 2004, at 12:22 PM PT

In order to believe that Zarqawi is or was innocent of al-Qaida and Baathist ties, therefore, or in order to believe that he does not in fact represent such a tie, you must be ready to believe that:

1) A low-level Iraqi official decided to admit a much-hunted Jordanian—a refugee from the invasion of Afghanistan, after Sept. 11, 2001—when even the most conservative forces in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were keeping their distance from such people and even assisting in rounding them up.

2) That this newly admitted immigrant felt that the most pressing need of the holy war was the assassination of Kurdish leaders opposed to the rule of Saddam Hussein.

3) That a recently arrived Jordanian, in a totally controlled police state, was so enterprising as to swiftly put himself in possession of maps, city diagrams, large sums of cash, and a group of heavily armed fighters hitherto named after the Iraqi dictator—the Fedayeen Saddam.

I can only say that you are quite welcome to believe all of that if you wish. But you must be able to wish quite hard. The same is true of Abdul Rahman Yasin, who was at least an Iraqi passport-holder when he skipped bail from New Jersey in 1993 as one of the most wanted men in the United States and made it through Jordan to Baghdad in a matter of hours. Peter Boyer in The New Yorker of Nov. 1 is the latest to see nothing especially odd in this. (Boyer does concede, as the New York Times did once report, that Saddam may have hoped to use Yasin as a "bargaining chip." Indeed. And to bargain about what? My friend Rolf Ekeus, the eminent Swedish diplomat who originally founded the UNSCOM inspectorate, told me that Tariq Aziz, Saddam's slimy foreign minister, once asked him to act as intermediary. In return for an easing of sanctions, said Aziz, Iraq had a lot of information about the whereabouts of terrorists that it was willing to trade …)

Millions of Iraqis can tell you that during the Saddam despotism their country was as hard to enter as it was to leave. Any reporter with average knowledge or experience can also tell you that decisions of this kind—about which high-value fugitive to admit, for example—were not taken at consular or desk-officer level during the days of the supreme and absolute leader. But of course, this is no smoking gun. Perhaps, indeed, the Baathists and the jihadists simply collaborate without having to be told. Meanwhile, what are all those other bodies doing in the river?

(See the relationship to bodies in the river at the beginning of Hitchins’ article.)

What caused Hitchens to jump from the Liberal Side?

SEEING RETURNS

Hugh Hewitt is posting about the American Muslims:

I hope exit polling on the votes of American Muslims surfaces quickly from the networks' combine. If Bush does better than expected, it will tell us a lot about the self-proclaimed leadership of this very diverse community. It is hard to imagine Iraqi-Americans or Afghan-Americans voting against Bush, just as it is hard to see many Palestinian-Americans voting for him. But the actual numbers will be among the most interesting of election night.

In the solitude of the voting booth, how will American Muslims vote? It will be very interesting to see the election returns on this.

Questioning Kerry's patriotism

Article

(…)Documents prepared by the Communist North Vietnamese government in 1971, and later captured by U.S. forces, show unmistakably that Kerry was operating under the direction of the enemy. He was being steered by Hanoi. He was being coached by the Viet Cong. And he was taking this direction, this steering and this coaching willingly.

In case you missed it, you can find all the gory details in a report in WorldNetDaily earlier this week. It's fascinating reading. But it is more than that 72 hours before Americans decide who is going to be the next president.

Think of what I am saying: A man who came to prominence and notoriety in American life, and who is now on the threshold of winning the White House, was actively aiding and abetting the enemy just 33 years ago. He was a tool. He was an agent. He was working for the other side.

3-page Document HERE

IN THE MEANTIME

NY SUN

Hanoi Approved of Role Played By Anti-War Vets
BY THOMAS LIPSCOMB - Special to the Sun
October 26, 2004

(…)The two documents provide a glimpse of the favorable way the Viet Cong viewed the activities in which Mr. Kerry was involved. They are from many documents of a kind that were ordinarily sent to a unit called the Captured Document Exploitation Center at the United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, which was headquartered in Saigon. Documents like these that were sent to the center were immediately translated into English and processed for battlefield intelligence for targeting or operations as required, or filed.

The CDEC cover sheet of the "Directive" indicates it was "acquired" on May 12, 1971. The cover sheet itself is dated June 30, 1971, and is entitled "VC Efforts to Back Antiwar Demonstrations in the United States." It shows a detailed knowledge of such VVAW activities as the Dewey Canyon demonstration on the Mall in Washington in April 1971, mentioning the "return of their medals." And the Saigon American military intelligence cover sheet dates the information in that document as being assembled in Vietnam only a week after the Washington VVAW demonstration had taken place.

Still have to find/read the documents. The originals would be at Texas Tech University; but, one site (apparently) has them--probably a pdf.


ADDITIONAL:

FBI surveillance and Mr. Kerry's own statements have established his two visits to Paris to meet with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegations to the Paris Peace Talks as taking place in June of 1970 and August of 1971.

An FBI surveillance report dated November 11, 1971, has also established that Mr. Kerry and Al Hubbard, the executive director of the VVAW who had brought Mr. Kerry into the organization, planned to return to meet with them again in Paris on November 15, 1971.

A November 24, 1971, FBI surveillance report disclosed that Mr. Hubbard had also had meetings on his own with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegations in Paris. It noted that he had reported at a national meeting of the VVAW in Kansas City that the Communist Party of the United States had paid his expenses for the most recent one.

UH OH, KERRY

Washington Times

Guided by hidden hands?


By Linda Chavez

The media are too busy repackaging old Iraq news in an October offensive against President Bush's re-election to investigate truly startling evidence unearthed this week that the Communist Party may have been directing John Kerry's anti-war activities in the early 1970s.


The evidence, contained in captured communist records on file at the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University, shows a well-coordinated effort by the Communist Party to recruit U.S. servicemen to become part of the American anti-war movement. The objective was to organize high-profile activities to undermine support for the Vietnam War, including holding hearings on alleged war crimes, lobbying Congress to oppose the war, exploiting the families of American POWs and urging servicemen to return their service medals.

It looks like something is cooking . . . and it might be an ELITIST. The previous article mentioned seeing the documents. I need to check this.

ON THE WRONG SIDE

The Mississippi Press

While John Kerry is running around claiming President George Bush and our troops overseas failed the American people by not guarding an explosives dump without explosives in it, documents have been uncovered at Texas Tech University that show Kerry was following Vietnam War protest guidelines from North Vietnamese communists in the early 1970s.

"Wait! Why am I not seeing any of this in the national news media, Mr. Gaylon?" you might be asking. "This cannot be true. Our Democrat candidate for president surely wasn't on the side of the communists and carrying out their requests when he got home from valiantly fighting for his country and winning all those medals, was he?"

Yes, he was.

The documents -- which actually LOOK like they came from the 1970s and not from a Microsoft Word program -- were found at the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University in Lubbock and reproduced from captured communist records. These documents have been PROVEN 100 percent authentic BEFORE their release, unlike those 60 Minutes National Guard documents that CBS refuses to investigate. They show that Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Viet Cong provisional governor of South Vietnam at the Paris Peace Talks, delivered a plan from Le Duc Tho -- Ho Chi Minh's second in command -- for American anti-war activities that anti-war protesters followed to the letter.

These documents are available at www.worldnetdaily.com or www.wintersoldier.com and show anti-war protesters not only received approval from the communists in North Vietnam, but also their direction. One of the documents states, "The spontaneous antiwar movements in the U.S. have received assistance and guidance from the friendly (i.e. communist Vietnamese) delegations at the Paris Peace Talks."

The article is dated Oct. 29. Why hasn't the media mentioned this? Guess we know the answer to that one.

CORRECTION & BUCKLING

NY Post

(…)Maybe he's feeling the weariness suggested in the videotaped statement last month by his No. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahiri: "Oh young men of Islam," he said, "if we are killed or captured, you should carry on the fight."

Maybe they're buckling.

[This is to correct my previous Zawahiri quote.] Regardless, the idea that they might be “buckling” is a likeable one.

WEAPONS OF MASS INTENT

The Mudville Gazette has a startling photo! It’s called “The Empty Throne.”

In addition to praising 9/11 in a murel of the planes flying into the Twin Towers during the deadly assault (in permanent Art Form--referenced in an earlier blog, here) there is another one. Saddam displays his intent OPENLY with the depiction behind the throne.

Words don’t adequately describe the feelings when you view it. See for yourself.

How could you doubt the motive (the M.O.) behind the throne.

TORA BORA

U.S. Bombs bin Laden's Tora Bora Mountain Base
By CHRIS TOMLINSON, Associated Press

TORA BORA, Afghanistan — A cease-fire collapsed Wednesday as U.S. airstrikes repeatedly pounded Osama bin Laden's Tora Bora mountain bases after cornered al-Qaida forces reportedly set new terms for their surrender and missed a deadline to disarm.

(…)The whereabouts of bin Laden remained unclear. Some U.S. officials and tribal leaders suspect he might be in or near Tora Bora, in eastern Afghanistan. Others believe he is hiding in the country's south.

(…)The eastern alliance overran al-Qaida's positions on Tuesday and gave their mainly Arab opponents until 8 a.m. Wednesday (10:30 p.m. EST Tuesday) to abandon the Tora Bora area or face a massive attack.

A cease-fire was declared after some al-Qaida fighters used a two-way radio to beg for mercy after they were pinned down in the canyon.

(…)Tuesday's advance on Tora Bora occurred three months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which the United States blames on bin Laden. President Bush launched airstrikes on Afghanistan on Oct. 7 after the former ruling Taliban refused to hand over bin Laden.

It would be difficult to say that Bin Laden was there; no one could prove it at the time, or later. There was a cease-fire, during which the Al Qaeda was to surrender. They did not.

If it can’t be proven that Bin Laden was there, it’s difficult to make the case that we let Bin Laden go.

ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

VOTER FRAUD--------

If you feel justified registering dead people to vote:

If you feel smug, when you register 10 times:

If you encourage illegal voting:

If you are happy to defeat a candidate by using fraud:

You may feel you are hurting the opponent: but . . .

YOU ARE KILLING U.S.!!!

Campaign 2004: High Stakes
Quite simply, Kerry must be stopped; and Bush must win
By Paul Johnson

All the elements of anarchy and unrest in the Middle East and Muslim Asia and Africa are clamoring and praying for a Kerry victory. The mullahs and the imams, the gunmen and their arms suppliers and paymasters, all those who stand to profit—politically, financially, and emotionally—from the total breakdown of order, the eclipse of democracy, and the defeat of the rule of law, want to see Bush replaced. His defeat on November 2 will be greeted, in Arab capitals, by shouts of triumph from fundamentalist mobs of exactly the kind that greeted the news that the Twin Towers had collapsed and their occupants been exterminated.

(…)I cannot recall any election when the enemies of America all over the world have been so unanimous in hoping for the victory of one candidate. That is the overwhelming reason that John Kerry must be defeated, heavily and comprehensively.

Hat tip: Little Green Footballs

We don’t just mouth the words and “walk the walk,” we believe in FREEDOM. We are willing to travel the last mile to hold out the hopes of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We value JUSTICE—-not only for ourselves, but for our fellow individuals around the world.

This is a defining election. This is the “Alert,” the “Warning.” You have a choice to fight for Freedom—-not only your own Freedom, but the Freedom of others. Someone fought for your Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.

Are you content to watch it disintegrate?

Are you so angry about the 2000 election that you would vote to weaken US, while strengthening the enemy?

Have we worked so hard to watch it all slide backwards?

This election, more than any other election in my time, will impact our future and the future of our great grandchildren.

What will we leave to them?

Captain’s Quarters Blog, Captain Ed

Kerry has been one of the most incompetent major-party candidates in decades, perhaps ever. People point to George McGovern, Walter Mondale, and Kerry's former boss Michael Dukakis as similar or potentially worse candidates, but all three of those men stood for their beliefs and values. Kerry stands for himself and nothing else. The only thing keeping Kerry afloat is the high tide of Bush hatred among the Left and an increasingly desperate mainstream media that will do almost anything, including sacrificing their credibility, to keep Bush from being re-elected. Hopefully, that will not be enough.

The Democrats turned an election loss from anger to hatred; they fueled it regularly for four years, turning it into rage. It has grown until it is out of control. And then, they nominated Kerry--a hedonistic politico.

Mirror, Mirror . . .

Kerry Spot

The far left hates George W. Bush with a raging fury. So does al-Qaeda. Was it really so shocking that the rhetoric of the former would eventually be taken up by the latter?

No, this tape should cause many on the left to stare into the mirror for a long time and ask, “What have I turned into? How did I become so reflexively partisan, so blinded by rage, so intemperate in my rhetoric that my own arguments are being echoed by a man who planned and enjoyed the mass murder of Americans?”

“How the hell did I reach the point where I agree with Osama bin Laden on Bush?”

UPDATE: I'm not going to go looking for too many "Well, now I agree with Osama" comments from lefties. But I had these comments by Daily Kos readers forwarded to me: "He couldn't believe that Shrub stayed in a classroom reading a book about a goat to kids while his country was being attacked. SMACKDOWN from OBL." Another one: "well I guess I have to agree with the man. Although it pains me. on a side note. Is Amazon shipping F911 to Afgan addresses?"
