Perspective
Joe Mariani

Number of people freed from totalitarian dictatorships by precision use of American military force under George W. Bush:
50 million in just two years

Number of people freed from totalitarian dictatorships by anti-American Bush-bashing terrorist-appeasing whining elitists:
Zero. Ever.
...

The problem seems to me to be the definition of "free speech". Liberals define it as anything they want to say or do that opposes America. I say "speech" ends where "action" begins. Once you pick up a gun for the enemy, throw a rock at a cop during a "peace" march, send money to a terrorist organisation, or travel to Baghdad to block an American JDAM with your ass, you have crossed the line from free speech to costly action.
...

Saying the War on Terror is all about al-Qaeda is like saying we should have fought the Japanese Naval Air Force after Pearl Harbor. Not the Japanese Navy, not the Japanese Army, not the Empire of Japan -- just the Naval Air Force.
...

Complaining about the "waste" when human embryos are destroyed instead of being used in medical experiments is a lot like going to a funeral and complaining about the waste of perfectly good meat.
...

Blaming CO2 for climate change is like blaming smoke for the fire. CO2 is largely a following, not a leading, indicator of a rise in temperature.
...

Cavalier's First Theorem:
Every time, Liberals will fight to protect the guilty and kill the innocent, while Conservatives will fight to protect the innocent and punish the guilty.

Cavalier's Second Theorem:
Liberals are just Socialists who want to be loved... then again, Socialists are just Communists who lack the courage of their convictions.

Cavalier's Third Theorem:
Any strongly moral, hawkish or pro-American statement by a Liberal will inevitably be followed by a "but."

Iran: Bush Supports Democracy, Kerry Supports Mullahs

Iran is at a critical time in its history.  Pro-democracy forces are finally making headway against the iron-fisted religious rule of the mullahs, led by the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.  For the first time, more difficult since Iran was taken over by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979, there is a chance for the Iranian people to achieve democracy by overwhelming popular demand.  President Bush has been openly supporting the rise of democracy in Iran and other countries.  A recent letter from the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran (SMCCDI) to President Bush praised him for his steadfast support of democracy worldwide.

On behalf of the Iranian Student Movement and the Iranian Diaspora around the World, especially our oppressed countrymen, we extend our sincerest appreciation for your leadership and efforts to promote long term peace and democratic rule in the World.  We also want to use this opportunity to express, once again, our deepest gratitude for your consistent and open support of our people in their quest for true freedom and democracy. 
Indeed, your tireless support of our subjugated and tyrannized people has touched millions of Iranians and they view you as an ardent defender of freedom and a source of hope.  As one of the few world leaders that fully appreciates and openly supports the aspirations and goals of our subjugated country, we extend our thanks.  Let us assure you, as you plan for the conquest of Mars, that you have already succeeded in conquering the hearts and souls of millions of Iranians.  It is, therefore, imperative that you are re-elected this November, and you can count on our constant support, and votes, in the upcoming election.

Even as the Iranian people take steps to wrest control of their own country and lives from the religious extremists who have ruthlessly dominated them for decades, John Kerry and the Democrats are putting them in serious danger.  Those who would replace President Bush are working to undermine his policies and shore up the enemies of America, the extremists in control of Iran. To them, nothing matters more than taking power in this country, even if they have to prevent democracy from taking root in Iran.

In an email recently sent from the office of Senator and Presidential hopeful John Kerry to the anti-Western Mehr News Agency and reprinted in the Tehran Times, the State-controlled news agency of Iran, John Kerry apologised to Iran for President Bush and promised to repair the "damage" he has caused, presumably by the same policies praised in the letter from the pro-democracy Iranian group.

Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.
It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

Thanks to Kerry's email, Iran's leaders just might find the strength of will they need to hold off the ravages of democracy for a little while longer.  Undoubtedly, they hope that Kerry might win in November and relieve the pressure from President Bush to work for a more democratic Iranian government.  In fact, let's not forget that Iran is a known supporter and exporter of terrorism.  Would anyone be surprised if Iran-backed terrorists are even now planning to do whatever they can to ensure Kerry's election in November?  After this email, he'd certainly be the preferred candidate of Iran's Mullahs.

Thanks, John.  I'm sure the people of Iran appreciate your efforts to give aid and comfort to the enemies of democracy, their oppressors.

I feel very sorry after reading John Kerry's letter!

He either does not know anything about the things happening in Iran or he really has the idea of supporting current dictatorship for a reason.

Anyway we people did not like calling Iran as Axis of Evil but I think George Bush has made real efforts toward democarcy while Kerry is going a strange path even before going to the White house.

When President Bush said that Iraq, Iran and North Korea formed an Axis of Evil, he meant the dictators of those countries, of course, not the people. Those who oppose President Bush for the election want to return to the old status quo... but they don't realise it's already gone for good. Iraq and Afghanistan were put on the road to democracy, but Iran seems to need only moral support. Good for the Iranians!

I ran into this information about Kerry last week, and it's been bothering me ever since. Doesn't this fall under the category of undermining current government policy or something? Why aren't the "news" papers picking up on this? Why hasn't somebody punched out the glass jaw of that traitor? Why don't you send this great article to Hugh Hewitt, so he can discuss it on radio????

Never mind. I just sent it to Hugh.

Great comparison! the level to which these people (Kerry, et al.) will stoop to win an election without any concern for the bigger picture still makes my jaw drop. I'm getting angy again just writing this.

Keep up the good work.

Tom
