Oliver Stone…. another Hollywood Communists

Now before you say Oh Can’t be….
Everything you are about to read can be found on the net. I have to give credit to David Horowitz for doing the bulk of this work..

Stone was Born in New York City in September 1946, Oliver Stone is one of the world's most prominent movie directors and a vehement critic of American foreign policy, and makes money hand over fist here in America. Stone enrolled at Yale University in 1965 but dropped out after his freshman year. From April 1967 to November 1968, he served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army, where he specifically requested to be assigned to combat duty.After his stint in the military, Stone attended the New York University film school, where he was mentored by the legendary director/producer Martin Scorsese. Stone graduated in 1971 and soon thereafter launched his cinematic career. His first full-length movie was Seizure (1974).By the early 1970s, Stone had developed strong anti-war convictions. Two of his films, Platoon (1986) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989) -- both of which dealt with the Vietnam War -- portrayed the U.S. military as a villainous entity composed disproportionately of men whose dubious morals predisposed them to indiscriminately gun down enemy soldiers and unarmed civilians alike. I have a completely different view of the people that served in Vietnam, I am Veteran of the 25th Infantry Division and never met anyone like the derelict fools he depicts in the movie Platoon. The dishonors he shows the 25th I.D. and all Veterans of that war is Despicable. The movie Born on the Forth of July is about the U.S. Marine Corps. NO HIGHER HONOR THEN A UNITED STATES MARINE. I’ll leave it at that. Much of Stone's work is, like the films cited in the preceding paragraph, unabashedly political in nature. He tackles projects of both historical relevance and fantasy, often addressing the recurring themes of conspiracy, power, greed, violence, and of course war. He uses the medium of film as a political tool, pushing a leftist agenda while expressing his overt contempt for conservatives specifically, and for myriad facets of American culture generally.Stone's historical revisionism is evident in those movies he has made that center on events of the 1960s and 1970s. In his 1991 film JFK, Stone concludes that President Kennedy was killed by conspiring factions of CIA officers, Cuban refugees, Texas oil tycoons, and rogue U.S. military personnel. In his 1995 film Nixon, Stone connects the eponymous President to the assassination of Kennedy. The only other people he did not blame in the movie was Archie Bunker and Beaver Clever.Other Stone-directed movies of the 1990s, including The Doors and Natural Born Killers, explored the themes of excess and drug use -- subjects with which Stone himself was familiar, having been addicted to cocaine in the 1970s.In the wake of 9/11, Stone opined that the terrorist hijackers had acted not as unprovoked aggressors, but rather in retaliation against American arrogance and corporate greed. "I think the revolt of September 11th was about 'F--- you! F--- your order,'" he said. (Deep Thinking here..)Stone also accused the U.S. government of having purposely allowed Osama bin Laden to escape unharmed while pretending to be hot on his trail. "Bin Laden," said Stone, "was completely protected by the oil companies in this country who told [President] Bush not to go after him because it would piss off the Saudis."In 2002 Stone was a signatory to Not In Our Name's "Statement of Conscience," an anti-war declaration whose signers pledged "to resist the [U.S.] policies ... which pose grave dangers to the people of the world." Not In Our Name was a project of the Maoist agitator C. Clark Kissinger and the Revolutionary Communist Party.In 2003 Stone directed Comandante, a documentary study (for HBO television) of Fidel Castro. For the making of this film, Stone was granted thirty hours of interview time with the Cuban dictator, whom he would later describe as someone "[w]e should look to … as one of the Earth's wisest people, one of the people we should consult.” Well now we don’t have to because we have a communist dictator in the white House Now.Comandante portrayed Castro as a sympathetic figure. HBO, however, cancelled the film's scheduled airing in the spring of 2003, after 80 human-rights activists in Cuba had been sentenced to prison terms of 20 years or more -- for speaking out against abuses by the Castro regime.Undeterred, Stone returned to Cuba in May 2003 to film Looking for Fidel, which retained an admiring tone toward Castro. In a television interview following the movie's release, Charlie Rose asked Stone about objections that some critics had raised vis a vis Castro's human-rights violations. Stone replied: "I can't answer the question because, frankly, I don't know the answer…. Human rights is a very, very delicate [concept]. It goes both ways. I mean, there can be those people who are authentically violated and those people who are not, those people who are supported by the United States financially and those who are not." I think our rights are violated when we have to hear this loon speak..Also in 2003, Stone directed Persona Non Grata, a sympathetic documentary (again for HBO) about the Palestinian leader and longtime international terrorist and pedophile, Yasser Arafat. Arafat recently had been placed under house arrest by the Israeli Defense Forces, in retaliation for his repeated failure to discourage Arab terrorism. Stone nonetheless paid a friendly visit to Arafat in the latter's Ramallah compound. While he was in the region, the director also visited with Ramallah's leading Hamas chieftain, Hassan Yussef. Talk about friends in low places.. After the release of Persona Non Grata, Stone explained that he had made the film in order to ask Arafat about his "long-term classical values: what your life was like, what the meaning of your suffering was, what regrets you have.” Some one should have asked how many little boys did he violate. In an interview with famed Hollywood Variety columnist Army Archerd, Stone said that after having made this movie, he now understood why suicide bombers "feel the way they do." "The Israelis have no business in the West Bank," Stone elaborated. "The [Jewish] settlements have to be gotten out of the West Bank." And where did you get you diplomatic credentials from??? In 2003 Stone lent his name to a statement condemning the Smithsonian Institution's plan to exhibit the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress used in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Stone and his fellow 250+ signers -- among whom were Noam Chomsky, Martin Sheen, Norman Lear, and Pete Seeger -- were opposed to the aircraft being regarded in a "celebratory" manner. I guess it doesn’t matter that the dropping of the Atom Bombs SAVED WELL OVER ONE MILLION LIVES. In 2006 Stone released his film World Trade Center, which centered around two Port Authority police officers who became trapped under the rubble of New York's fallen Twin Towers on 9/11. At a press conference connected to the film's premier at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, Stone publicly announced that he was "ashamed for my country." And you though it was just Michelle Oboma, He added: "We [America] have destroyed the world in the name of security ... From September 12 on, the incident was politicized and it has polarized the entire world. It is a shame because it is a waste of energy to see that the entire world five years later is still convulsed in the grip of 9/11. It's a waste of energy away from things that do matter, which is [sic] poverty, death, disease, the planet itself, and fixing things in our own homes rather than fighting wars with others. Mr. Bush has set America back ten years, maybe more ... We did not fight back in the same way that the British fought the IRA or the Spanish government fought the Basques here. Terrorism is a manageable action. It can be lived with." We were a lot safer under Bush, rather then this bowing and bumbling fool, that is trying to be a man, or trying to fill a mans shoes, in the white house.At a Moscow press conference in September 2006, Stone hinted that he might make another film suggesting that the Bush administration had been intimately involved in the planning and execution of 9/11. "There is a great story in a movie, a conspiracy by a group of people in the American administration who have an agenda and who used 9/11 to further that agenda," he told journalists. Stone accused President Bush of exploiting 9/11 to stoke Americans' fear and bolster his own power in a manner that was "right out of George Orwell."In 2008 Stone was one of more than 560 celebrities, scholars, journalists, politicians, and organizations to sign a petition asking the federal government to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, an American Indian rights activist convicted of murdering two FBI agents in 1975. Among Stone's fellow signatories were Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and the American Friends Service Committee.Stone is also a supporter of Mumia Abu Jamal, a leftist icon and former Black Panther convicted of the 1981 murder of Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner.In a January 2008 interview with The Observer, Stone expressed support for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla group designated as a terrorist organization by both the European Union and the United States. Said Stone: Is there a terrorist out there that this clown doesn’t love. "I do think that by the standards of Western civilization they [FARC] go too far; they kidnap innocent people. On the other hand, they're fighting a desperate battle against highly financed, American-supported forces who have been terrorizing the countryside for years and kill most of the people. FARC is fighting back as best it can, and grabbing hostages is the fashion in which they can finance themselves and try to achieve their goals, which are difficult. They're a peasant army; I see them as a Zapata-like army. I think they are heroic to fight for what they believe in and die for it, as was Castro in the hills of Cuba." That same month, Stone collaborated with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a FARC sympathizer, in brokering a deal which called for the guerrilla group to release three hostages as a gesture of good faith. Stone described Chavez as "an honest man, a strong man and a soldier." Now if your going to look up to some one as a mentor or a father figure, some one with honor and dignity, It would definitely be a Marxist murdering, violator of human rights like the pig faced Hugo Chavez. NO???!!!! In March 2008 Stone, along with actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, was named as a judge in a MoveOn.org advertising contest designed to promote the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama.In October 2008, during the height of the presidential election season, Stone released his film on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, simply titled W. Starring Barbra Streisand's stepson, Josh Brolin, as President Bush, the movie portrays Bush as a petty, profane, religious zealot.Over the years, Stone has made campaign contributions to a number of political candidates, most notably Jesse Jackson, Barbara Boxer, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, Ralph Nader, John Edwards, and Barack Obama.So why do we send our hard earned money to this Holly Wood Communist? He hates us, and our way of life. He hates the United States as a representative republic. He hates capitalism, Stop sending YOUR money to this communist; we can live with out him..

Constitution? We don't need no stinking Constitution!

The strange thing about the Democratic rank-and-file now is that their Leftist-Liberal leaders have almost comprehensively and completely built-in a fundamental dislike (almost hatred) and distrust of the state and US Constitutions and Declaration of Independence.

How bizarre. If one talks with a typical Democrat these days and particularly the younger ones, they have an almost automatic disdain for the state and federal Constitutions and have virtually no knowledge of them or the principles involved. That is very different from the Democrats I grew up around in the 60s. Today, it is reflected in the zombie-like rhetoric and name-calling about anyone, whether a Republican, Independent, Libertarian or others who profess a love and understanding of the Founding documents and the principles involved. I would think they would understand that this is a very dangerous trend for the long-term survival of their own party IN THIS COUNTRY.

Even if a Democrat is found that openly professes a love (extremely rare) of the Constitution(s) and Declaration, almost none of them have studied in-depth either the state or federal Constitutions or have an understanding of the principles behind the documents. That is a clear reflection of how far their party leadership has moved the rank-and-file away from those principles. Most Democrats don't even seem to understand how those principles were set-up to work at all or why. Rejecting the principles, they have adopted the "living document" fallacy to accomodate the rejection.

It was only a few short decades ago that Democrats were just as likely to profess a love and understanding of the Constitution as any Republican. They understood many of the same principles, just took a slightly different view of them. Now there is virtually nothing in common with those that want to see Constitutional government. How did that happen? Five or six decades ago many Democrats, similar to many Republcans, were still "classic liberals", which is referred to today as a 'libertarian.' It is interesting how time causes such large polarity flips to where the average Democrat of today wouldn't even recognize his counterpart of 60 years ago. He would believe that counterpart to be a Republican! Anyone that needs a fact-check on that should Google and read the National Democratic Platform from 1932 that FDR ran on, then was the first to throw away.

Both major parties have strayed far from their roots and principles. Many Republicans have a long way (some as far as the Dems from another direction) to go to find their way back to the Founding principles. Both parties have precipitated the rise of the TEA Party movement because of it. However, it is clear at this point that the reason that Democrats only comprise 12-17% of TEA Partiers is the success the anti-Constitutionalists have had in the Democratic Party. The average Democrat sees someone who believes in the Constitution and Declaration as someone to fear and loathe. That's something all Democrats need to think about and why more need to flock to the TEA Party movement before it is too late.

Preaching the party line

Preaching the party line

So one day a man knocks on the door and say's to you we are here in the neighborhood and asking if you would like to have this valve put in you house that is hooked up to our distribution point and if you put this outlet in your house we hook it up for Free, and you will get all these gems, silver, diamonds, gold.....
How could you say no?!?!. So your hooked up and you can't wait to open this thing to get all that was promised, Sure enough when you turn it to the on position all they promised is flowing out, slowly, painfully slow, but it's flowing. You and your family are vigilant at watching for the gems, silver, diamonds, gold, and you are getting it just like they said.Now what they did not tell you, is that for you to get all of this, there has to be a push, or a catalyst to get the stuff moving from the distribution point to your house. Now at first you say so what look what were getting, it's a small inconvenience, nothing to complain about. As time goes on you see less and less treasures and more and more catalyst, and the catalyst is starting to turn color and has a slight odor, But still your getting all this treasures, well years have gone by now and you have to sift through so much catalyst that it's a all over the house and it's really starting to smell badly not to mention the foul content that is coming in also is so bad that the children in the house are not allowed to go near it or handle the stuff, at this point your sifting through so much vile and vulgar trash that you wonder what happened to the treasures. Now you realize that this out let is polluting you and the people you love and your house. YOU turn the valve OFF. That my friends is your Television hooked up to Cable or Satellite.
Lets go back to the time when in the 1950’s there were only five channels on broadcast television and we had to have an antenna on the roof pointed just right to pick up the broadcast..At that time we had some very note worthy shows that would entertain us and in most case would provide the edification of the America and the American way. We learned that telling the truth was always the best thing to do. We were shown that a good neighbor was a blessing to have, and to know for, in some cases thirdly years or more, so much so that they were as close as family,We were shown that treating an animal with respect and to care for it’s well-being had long term rewards of faithfulness and loyalty.Maybe fathers were not always correct, but they were always Dad’s, and Dad’s word was as good as Mom’s, Mom’s word WAS LAW. Mothers were not always the best at everything they did, but they were always the anchor of the family and always Mom. Parents back then had a way of bringing forth a wise and thoughtful answer to the worldly troubles of the children and teens under there roof, and children respected and honored there parents and elders in general. Ok so now you have the idea, I don't have to go no about family values and all that.
Fast forward to today, The American way is vilified, Americans are made out to be arrogant fools, Fathers,, if there is one, will be portrayed as a dumb sexiest, homophobic, greedy, racist, and if the father has the unfortunate curse of being a white male ,,, well he's probably a pedophile and the family is better off with out him any way..
Now the Mother is portrayed as the hard working long suffering, can't get ahead cause of the husband beating her up side the head, because he dropped out of school in the 10th grade because he got her pregnant when he forced him self on her,,,now he has to work to support her and the kid, but can't hold down a job for more that a few months, and can't pass a drug screen. She is held back by him and is seeing her shrink on the side going to some of the worst motels in the next county so not to be seen coming out of a no tell motel... Telling the truth went out the window, and remember that neighbor I told you about, who is like family...well in today's television world he is a peeping tom and is checking out the neighbors 10 year old daughters room when she undressing for bed, and he found out that the wife is playing around with the shrink and is blackmailing her for sex on demand. Now the kids have have a whole new world, they know dad's a dork that can't be trusted and his way of exposing his son to literature is passing down the old copies of hustler..He’s drinking as much or more the the father, before the lunch bell at school, The daughter is in a struggle to find out just who and what she is and at this point has been used and abused by most of the boys on the football team, track, and basketball team. She is very pretty but suffers from low self esteam, want’s to run away from it all... X and Crack are taking the place of food..
So now ask the question now did this happen?? Well the liberals.. and just for the record when I say liberals, I am talking about the collectivest, communalest, socialist, communist…….Do you recall The U.S.S.R. Russian Communist..???
The name is: The United Soviet SOCIALIST Republic.. The communist form of government is Socialism..So now that we covered that.
The socialist communist hate America and all the good that is American, they hate good morals, they hate the family as an instution, They hate God and anything to do with God. They hate prayer and want to do away with all loyalty oaths, like the pledge of alligence to the flag..They hate any thing that is higher or better then the state. They hate the art of class and culture, They hate our free speech, they hate our constitution and see it as a road block and hinderance to there utopia..They break down our cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and television.
Let me make the profound statement that Joe McCarthy WAS RIGHT Hollywood is flooded with communist. So much so that, it looks like another world in make belive town..
This letter is not intended to assuage your worst fears about The Hollywood Communist but will, in most cases, confirm them. I want to share this with you because I frequently talk about how The Hollywood Communist's hirelings, who are legion, are the carrion birds of humanity. I would drop the subject except that if we're to effectively carry out our responsibilities and make a future for ourselves. I plan to restore our righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail over The Hollywood Communist's lethargic, hideous band. This is a choice I have made; your choice is up to you. But let me remind you that The Hollywood Communist's irritable suggestions make all of us pay for its boondoggles. News of this deviousness must spread like wildfire if we are ever to put its lumpish meta narratives to the question.
I want to thank The Hollywood Communist for its treatises. They give me an excellent opportunity to illustrate just how vindictive The Hollywood Communist can be. It is certainly the height of ironies that if you've read this far then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. The Hollywood Communist has the seeds of its own destruction built right into its unsavory worldview. Yes, I could add that it used twisted and self-contradictory logic to arrive at its conclusion that all minorities are poor, stupid ghetto trash, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that The Hollywood Communist wants to produce an army of mindless insects who will obey its every command.Think about the Lie to me nightly news networks… To produce such an army, it plans to destroy people's minds using either the drugs of TV or an advanced form of lobotomy Movies. Whichever approach it takes, I am intellectually honest enough to admit my own previous ignorance in that matter. I wish only that The Hollywood Communist had the same intellectual honesty.
It would be great if all of us could give the needy a helping hand as opposed to an elbow in the face. In the end, however, money talks and you-know-what walks. Perhaps that truism also explains why I am aware that many people may object to the severity of my language. But is there no cause for severity? Naturally, I warrant that there is because we were put on this planet to be active, to struggle, to work, and to do something good for others. We were not put here to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos, as The Hollywood Communist might allege. The Hollywood Communist maintains a "Big Brother" dossier of incriminating personal information about everyone it distrusts, to use as a potential career-ruining weapon. Is your name listed in that dossier? I could give you the answer now but it would be more productive for me first to inform you that knowledge and wisdom are The Hollywood Communist's enemies. They understand that by limiting education and enlightenment, it can fool more people into believing that it can succeed without trying. Sadly, those with the least education are those who would benefit most from the knowledge that the things The Hollywood Communists wants to do are unfair, immoral, and if not illegal, Treasonable… I won't dwell on that except to direct your attention to the Pharisaical manner in which they have been trying to turn once-flourishing neighborhoods into zones of violence, decay, and moral disregard.
If The Hollywood Communist's comrades had even an ounce of integrity they would establish clear, justifiable definitions of propagandist and nonrepresentational so that one can defend a decision to take action when The Hollywood Communist's satraps create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions. My vision that some day, people everywhere will deal with The Hollywood Communist's adulterated scribblings on a case-by-case basis is an inspiring dream. Unfortunately, reality always awakens me and reminds me that The Hollywood Communists is addicted to the feeling of power, to the idea of controlling people. Sadly, it has no real concern for the welfare or the destiny of the people it desires to lead and show how to live. The Hollywood Communists contends that we can all live together happily without laws, like the members of some 1960s-style dope-smoking commune. What planet are they from? The planet Brazen? That's the question that perplexes me the most because The Hollywood Communist's dissertations are built on lies and they depend on make-believe for their continuation.
Would all The Hollywood Communists like it if I were bilious and mudslinging, too? I don't think so. The Hollywood Communists, as usual, prove themselves to be inhumane. If you were to ask The Hollywood Communists, they say that they can’t remember challenging all I stand for. Not only do The Hollywood Communists have a very selective memory, but its oppressive causeries can be quite educational. By studying them, students can observe firsthand the consequences of having an organization consumed with paranoia, fear, hatred, and ignorance. I have just enough stomach left to address one last instance of The Hollywood Communist's vindictive imbecility: The Hollywood Communists sincerely believes that it is not only acceptable but indeed desirable to rob Peter to pay Paul. Unfortunately we are the Peter and the Paul that they will steal from..
So after all of this rant… What to do???? What is the one thing that can be taken away from The Hollywood Communist that will hurt and damage the most??? Would you just love to have a hand in putting them in there place, and say if you don’t like it here get the hell out.
Are they always talking about Money, Things, Clout, Life in the lap of luxury, living the good life… Well it takes money to do that.. YOUR MONEY.. They are selling a product that is vile and vulgar, and putting down the very way of life we love…………………. So stop sending YOUR MONEY to them… HOW???!! Stop going to there movies, Stop buying there Music, Stop watching the trash they put on TV. ABOVE ALL stop watching the socialist news networks ie: CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, These OUT LETS are loosing viewers buy the truck load, now. Just imagine what will happen, When the money stops going in to the pockets of the Hollywood Communist, and they no longer have a voice to push the party line… Americans have done this in the past, when the money stops, people see the light…

DO YOU BELIEVE????

OK so now I am the type of person that won’t believe something unless I have facts to back it up. So if some one tells me about something, I am going to go one the web and to all the books I can find to see if what I am told is true and factual.
If it is vague or ambiguous and full of holes then it should not be considered “THE TRUTH” Now if the source of a story is a person or a group that has been known to out and out lie or not tell the whole story and leave out important information so to make you believe a certain way. Well then how can you believe them and then be expected to change your complete way of life, because they say that your way of life is doing something so bad and dangerous that if we all don’t change we only have 10 or 20 years to live and the earth will not sustain life as we know it.
Now you know that I am talking about Man Made Global Warming and all the fear and uncertainty that go along with it.
Well do you remember the story about Chicken Little? He was hit in the head with a acorn and started a panic about the sky was falling, well at least he was hit in the head with something, I can’t say he was lying but he was mislead. If he were a known liar then no one would have given him a second thought. So that brings me the high priest and Founding Father of The First Church of Global Warming.
Al Gore
Can we look at some of the things he has said in the past and ask ourselves Is This High Unholy Loon to be taken as a serious person?
Let’s look. Gore Created the Internet? Lie Number One! The Gore Lie
“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” (Al Gore, CNN’s “Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer,” 3/9/99)
The Truth
The U.S. Defense Department Created the Internet. “The Internet, originally called ARPANET, dates to 1969, when the Defense Department began funding the project. Gore, then 21, was still eight years away from joining Congress.” (The Associated Press, 3/11/99)
Gore Was the Inspiration for Love Story? Lie Number Two!
The Gore Lie
“Around midnight, after a three-city tour of Texas last month, the Vice President came wandering back to the press compartment of Air Force Two. Sliding in behind a table with the two reporters covering him that day, he picked slices of fruit from their plates and spent two hours swapping opinions about movies and telling stories about old chums like Erich Segal, who, Gore said, used Al and Tipper as models for the uptight preppy and his free-spirited girlfriend in Love Story; and Gore’s Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones, who played the roommate of the Gore-like character in the movie version of Segal’s book.” (Time, 12/15/97)
The Truth
Not According to Love Story Author Erich Segal. “Vice President Al Gore acknowledged Sunday a ‘miscommunication’ on his part in leading reporters to believe he and his wife were the model for the 1970s romance novel ‘Love Story.’ The author, Erich Segal, told The New York Times he was ‘befuddled’ by the comments in the first place. He said he called Gore, and the vice president said it was a misunderstanding.” (The Des Moines Register, 12/15/97)
Gore Led a Crusade Against Tobacco? Lie Number Three!
The Gore Lie
“When I was a child, my family was attacked by an invisible force that was then considered harmless. My sister Nancy was older than me. There were only the two of us, and I loved her more than life itself. She started smoking when she was 13 years old. The connection between smoking and lung cancer had not yet been established. But years later, the cigarettes had taken their toll. It hurt very badly to watch her savaged by that terrible disease. Her husband Frank and all of us who loved her so much tried to get her to stop smoking. . . . Tomorrow morning, another 13-year-old girl will start smoking. I love her too. Three thousand young people in America will start smoking tomorrow. One thousand of them will die a death not unlike my sister’s. And that is why until I draw my last breath, I will poor pour my heart and soul into the cause of protecting our children from the dangers of smoking.” (Al Gore, The Democratic National Convention, 8/28/96)
The Truth
Yet, 4 Years after the Death of Gore’s Sister the Press Reported: ‘“Throughout most of my life, I raised tobacco,’ the Tennessee senator hollered. ‘I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life, I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I’ve hoed it, I’ve dug in it, I’ve sprayed it, I’ve chopped it, I’ve shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it and sold it.’” ([New York] Newsday, 2/26/88)
Gore Was Still Growing Tobacco and Receiving Money From Tobacco Interests Years After His Sister’s Death. Tobacco was still grown on the Gore family farm years after Gore’s sister’s death. (CNN’s “Inside Politics,” 3/19/99) Furthermore, “from 1979 until the end of 1990, he [Gore] accepted $16,440 from tobacco political action committees.” (The Washington Post, 8/30/96)
Gore Worked for 20 Years on a Test Ban Treaty? Lie Number Four!
The Gore Lie
“I’ve worked on this for 20 years because, unless we get this one right, nothing else matters.” (Gore 2000 web site, 10/14/99)
The Truth
Gore’s Own Words Prove Past Opposition to the Treaty. In 1988, Gore chastised his Democrat colleagues for supporting the ban and clearly indicated that he would have voted against the comprehensive test ban as a senator:
Q: “If you’re elected president, will you suspend all U.S. nuclear weapons tests, upon taking office, and then proceed to conclude a formal test ban treaty?”
GORE: “Well, just as President John Kennedy made our world safer by getting a treaty banning atmospheric explosions, I would seek a treaty with the Soviet Union banning underground explosions as well. But before doing so, I would pin down the answers to two questions that are important to our national security:”
“First of all, can we firmly verify whether or not the Soviet Union is exploding low-yield tests on its territory? The evidence now coming from the scientists indicates that there are ways to negotiate cooperative agreements with the Soviets to make that possible. But we need the answer before the test ban rather than after.” (C-SPAN, Remarks by Al Gore at the Democratic Presidential Forum sponsored by the “Stop the Arms Race Political Action Committee,” 9/27/87)
Gore’s emphasis on the need for the continued testing of weapons systems to preserve the U.S. deterrent capability extended to many strategic systems. When his fellow Democrats advocated a ban on the flight-testing of missiles, Gore was scathing:
“They took positions that are wildly out of touch with what mainstream Democratic voters believe. . . That’s not exaggerated political rhetoric, that is absolutely the case. The very idea of having a complete ban on all flight-testing of missiles when we rely on deterrence for the survival of our civilization. . .” (The Washington Post, 2/22/88)
Gore Has Always Been Pro-Choice? Lie Number Five!
The Gore Lie
“And know this, I will always, always defend a woman’s right to choose. Every time Congress has tried to play politics with that fundamental personal right -- imposing gag rules, and attaching anti-choice language to any bill they can think of -- we have stood up to them and stopped them.” (Al Gore, Remarks at Women for Gore Event, 6/1/99)
The Truth
Gore Was Pro-Life as a Congressman. “It is my deep personal conviction that abortion is wrong. I hope that some day we will see the current outrageously large number of abortions drop sharply. . . . Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected . . . In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably the taking of a human life. . . .” (Letter from Rep. Al Gore to a Constituent, 7/18/84)
“During my 11 years in Congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding of abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably the taking of a human life.” (Sen. Albert Gore Jr. Letter to a Constituent, 5/26/87)
“Calling abortion ‘the most complex issue that any candidate faces,’ Albert Gore Jr. said Wednesday that he doesn’t believe the courts have struck a proper balance between the rights of a fetus and woman’s right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. ‘I don’t believe a woman’s freedom to live her own life, in all cases, outweighs the fetus’ right to life,’ the 4th District congressional candidate said, predicting that the abortion issue will be the forerunner to a whole series of issues in which medical technology and basic human rights come in conflict. Gore said he favors a cautious, case-by-case approach.” (The Nashville Banner, 7/29/76)
Gore’s Reporting Resulted In the Imprisonment of a Bunch of People? Lie Number Six!
The Gore Lie
“In 1987, Gore’s eagerness to play up his image as an investigative reporter led to one of the worst gaffes of his short-lived campaign for the presidency. Gore told The Des Moines Register that his reporting ‘got a bunch of people indicted and sent to jail.’” (Columbia Journalism Review, 1/93)
The Truth
In 1988 Gore Was Caught Lying About His Career as a Reporter. “Presidential candidate Sen. Albert Gore Jr. says he made an honest mistake when he said a Metro councilman had gone to prison after Gore wrote stories as a Tennessean reporter.”
“In an interview published last Sunday by the Des Moines Register, Gore was quoted as saying he ‘got a bunch of people indicted and sent to jail’ while working as a reporter for The Tennessean in the 1970s.”
“A story appearing in yesterday’s editions of The Commercial Appeal, a Memphis newspaper, says Gore exaggerated his record as an investigative reporter for The Tennessean.”
“Two persons were indicted as a result of an investigation into alleged corruption on the Metro Council in Nashville during the period in which Gore was covering the council. Neither of them was imprisoned as a result of the charges.” (The Tennessean, 10/4/87)
Gore Faced Enemy Fire in Vietnam? Lie Number Seven!
The Gore Lie
“And I was shot at. . . . I spent most of my time in the field.” (Al Gore, The Washington Post, 2/3/88)
“I carried an M-16 . . . I pulled my turn on the perimeter at night and walked through the elephant grass, and I was fired upon.” (Al Gore, Los Angeles Times, 10/15/99)
The Truth
Gore No Longer Mentions Combat Duty on the Campaign Trail. “On the campaign trail today, while he suggests no combat heroics, he nonetheless mentions his service in Vietnam proudly.” (Los Angeles Times, 10/15/99)
Gore Had Bodyguards Assigned to Keep Him Out of Harm’s Way in Vietnam. “In Vietnam, Alan Leo, a photographer in the press brigade office where Gore worked as a reporter, said he was summoned by Brig. Gen. K.B. Cooper, the 20th Engineer Brigade’s Commander, and told Leo that he, Cooper, ‘had a great amount of respect for the senator.’ He asked Leo, the most experienced member of the press unit, to make sure that nothing happened to Gore. ‘He requested that “Gore not get into situations that were dangerous,’” said Leo, who did what he could to carry out Cooper’s directive. He described his half-dozen or so trips into the field with Gore as situations where ‘I could have worn a tuxedo.’” (Newsweek, 12/6/99)
Gore Would Never Mess With Social Security? Lie Number Eight!
The Gore Lie
“Social Security Benefits Will Remain Untaxed. . . . I sincerely believe that any plan to tax Social Security benefits would place an unforgivable burden on our senior citizens who are currently trying to enjoy their retirement years in the face of ever-increasing prices . . . it is totally inconceivable . . . It is unfair . . .” (Albert Gore Jr. column, Carthage Courier, 2/21/80)
The Truth
Gore Has Voted to Raise Taxes on Social Security. In 1993, Gore cast the tie-breaking vote for the largest tax increase in history that included $25 billion in higher taxes on Social Security benefits. (Bill Clinton & Al Gore, Putting People First, 1992; CQ Vote #247: Adopted 51-50: R 0-44; D 50-6, with Albert Gore Jr. casting a “yea” vote, 8/6/93; “The Economic and Budget Outlook: An Update,” Congressional Budget Office, 9/93)
Gore Co-Sponsored McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Reform? Lie Number Nine!
The Gore Lie
“Gore noted that he had backed a sweeping campaign finance bill sponsored by Senators John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and Russell D. Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin. ‘Unlike Senator Bradley, I was a co-sponsor of it,’ Gore said, ‘and I feel that it’s very important to get the influence of special interest money out of our politics.’” (The New York Times, 11/24/99)
The Truth
Gore Never Even Served with Sen. Feingold. Sen. Russell Feingold was not elected to the U.S. Senate until 1992, the year Al Gore left the Senate to become Vice President, therefore making it impossible for Gore to be a co-sponsor of any McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform legislation. (The Almanac of American Politics 1994) Even Bill Bradley Called Gore on This Lie. “Gore not only did not, but could not have cosponsored McCain-Feingold. Russ Feingold was not elected until 1992. Al Gore quit the Senate in 1992 to become Vice President. Feingold and Gore never served together.” (Bill Bradley for President Press Release, 12/7/99)
Gore Supports the Death Penalty? Lie Number Ten!
The Gore Lie
“Defending his position on the death penalty, Gore said, ‘I’ve always supported it because I think society has a right to make careful judgments about when that ultimate penalty ought to be applied.’” (The Associated Press, 11/19/99)
The Truth
Gore Voted Against the Death Penalty. Gore voted against the death penalty for drug kingpins. (CQ Vote 140: Adopted 66-32: R 38-6; D 28-26, 6/28/90) Gore voted against the death penalty for terrorists. (CQ Vote #12: Rejected 25-72: R 5-38; D 20-34, 2/20/91)
Gore Discovered Love Canal? Lie Number Eleven!
The Gore Lie
“I found a little place in upstate New York called Love Canal. I had the first hearing on that issue and Toone, Tenn. But that was the one that started it all.” (Al Gore, The New York Times, 12/10/99)
The Truth
Jimmy Carter, the Federal Government and Local Residents All Found Love Canal Long Before Gore Did. “Mr. Gore held Congressional hearings on the matter in October 1978. But two months earlier President Jimmy Carter had declared Love Canal a disaster area, and the federal government, after much howling by local residents, had offered to buy the homes.” (The New York Times, 12/1/99) Lois Gibbs, the Leader of the Love Canal Home Owners Association, Rebukes Gore. ‘“He did not begin Love Canal,’ Lois Gibbs, legendary leader of the Love Canal Home Owners Association, said Wednesday in an interview.” ([New York] Newsday, 12/3/99)
Gore Wrote Superfund? Lie Number Twelve!
The Gore Lie
“I have written the law, along with one other principle author of the superfund law, and amendments to the other major law in this area which requires that companies improperly disposing of hazardous waste, must bear the financial consequences of cleaning it up.” (Al Gore, The League of Women Voters Democrat Debate, 4/16/88)
The Truth
Rep. James Florio Authored Superfund. Rep. James Florio (D-N.J.) wrote the first Superfund law. (CQ Vote#510: Passed 351-23: R 123-14; D 228-9, 9/23/80) Though he did not author the law, Gore did vote for it. However, he also criticized Superfund for being “far too small to make a reasonable start on correcting this enormous environmental problem.” (Al Gore, Congressional Record, 5/16/80)
Gore Wrote the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)? Lie Number Thirteen!
The Gore Lie
“[Bradley’s proposals were] an old-style approach that spends a lot of money but doesn’t have any new ideas. [He proposes] the expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit. I was the author of that proposal. I wrote that, so I say, welcome aboard. That is something for which I have been the principal proponent for a long time.” (Al Gore, Time, 11/1/99)
The Truth
Gore Was Not In Congress When the EITC Was Passed. The EITC Act was originally passed in 1975. Gore did not become a member of Congress until 1977. Gore did not write the EITC Act of 1975. (Buffalo News, 12/13/99; U.S. News & World Report, 12/20/99)
Gore Negotiated an Agreement that Provided Internet Protection for Children? Lie Number Fourteen!
The Gore Lie
“I helped to negotiate an agreement with the Internet service providers to put a parent protection page up and give parents the ability to click on all of the web sites that their children have visited lately. That’ll put a lot of bargaining leverage in the hands of parents.” (Al Gore, ABC’s “Nightline” Democratic Debate, 12/16/99)
The Truth
Gore Had Little or Nothing to Do with Internet Protection for Children. “The [Internet] industry had been working for a year with bipartisan members of Congress on putting a link to on-line child-safety resources on the front page of Internet portals – with no participation from the Vice President.” (editorial, The Wall Street Journal, 5/6/99) Bartlett Cleland, a board member of the nonprofit Internet Education Foundation, said: “There was no Gore involvement. They hijacked this issue. He makes it sound like he led the project. I can’t imagine what he will invent tomorrow.” (The Washington Times, 5/6/99)
Gore’s Discussion With A Speech Writer Had A Major Impact On Hubert Humphrey’s 1968 Democratic National Convention Acceptance Speech? Lie Number Fifteen!
The Gore Lie
“As young Gore later often told the story, he had been interviewed the day before by Charles Bartlett, the veteran Chicago Sun-Times columnist from Chattanooga, a family friend who had known Albert Gore Sr., the senior senator from Tennessee, since his early days in the House. Bartlett ‘had passed the apogee of his career’ by 1968 but was ‘still a very eloquent writer,’ Gore said, and was one of those helping Humphrey with his speech at the convention. ‘And he came and spent an hour with me, asking what people my age thought about the war.’ As Gore sat in the convention hall and looked up at Humphrey in the spotlight, he thought that he heard his own words coming back to him. He was convinced that the vice president’s speechwriters had incorporated his suggestions into the acceptance speech -- evoking ‘the end of an era,’ the promise of a ‘prompt end to the war,’ the assertion that no one wanted ‘a police state,’ the call for ‘young Americans . . . to continue as vocal, creative and even critical participants in the politics of our time.’ Hearing those phrases, Gore said later, led him to the conclusion that ‘there was no doubt Mr. Bartlett had faithfully conveyed some of the feelings that I had tried to describe.”’ (The Washington Post, 12/27/99)
The Truth
The Individual Gore Spoke With Had No Link to Humphrey in 1968. “But was Gore only imagining his role as interpreter for his generation? According to Bartlett's description of those long-ago events, that might be the case. ‘I had nothing to do with Humphrey,’ Bartlett said in a recent interview. ‘I had no contact with Humphrey at all. If I talked to Al, it was perhaps for a story. I had absolutely no link at all with Hubert Humphrey in 1968.’ When presented with Bartlett’s response, Gore quickly retreated from his earlier recollection. ‘Faulty memory. Faulty memory,’ he said of himself and his oft-told story.” (The Washington Post, 12/27/99)
Gore Lives on a Farm Today? Lie Number Sixteen!
The Gore Lie
“I’ve spent some of my time growing up on a farm,’ Gore said. “I live on a farm today. I have my heart in my own farm. Yes, I live in Washington, D.C., when I’m working there. And yes I grew up more there than I did on the farm. But my heart is in Smith County, Tenn.” (ABCNEWS.com, 12/23/99)
The Truth
Gore Lives At the Naval Observatory In Washington, DC. “In yet another one of his patented Goreisms, the vice president appeared to reopen the question of whether he was raised as a city boy or a country boy. In the process of trying to find common ground with a questioner, Gore claimed that his current home is a farm – referring to his family’s farm in Carthage, Tenn. He quickly qualified the statement by noting that he lives in Washington ‘when I’m working there.’” (ABCNEWS.com, 12/23/99)
Now I know this was a long read, but I have to ask the question Can You Believe this man and have him and his church
make law that will mandate what car you are allowed to drive?
What temperature your house will be allowed to be at?
What light bulbs you will be allowed to use?
What size houses you will be allowed to have?
Will you be allowed to fly across country? And only if you pay a carbon tax?
Your food cost will go sky high as if it not high enough now. If this man and his church get there way we will be living under a bridge cooking squirrel.

I am sorry but
"I Don’t Believe"

Washington, DC 20510

Senator,

As a native of Colorado and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you. My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill that was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out. Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for my family and me because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005. Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year. Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her collage applications, as well as 'in-state' tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States. Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car. If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance.

Cook a Frog

(Before You Read This)
You should know that in 1972 I turned 18 and was able to vote.
I voted for George McGovern, I thought that he was a war hero and would save this country.
I also voted for Jimmy Carter thinking that he was a man that feared and respected OUR GOD and had a strong military background, how could we go wrong??? WOW!!!!!
Then in 1979 I heard of A man named Ronald Reagan
He said that America was the greatest country on earth filled with the greatest people on earth and America's greatest days were in our future
I became a Conservative that day..

So what you will read below is JUST how I feel

Steve

If you drop a frog in boiling water he will leap right out. If you slowly heat the water he will be content until it's too late to get out. That is exactly how history works. It moves slowly and we never really see any danger until it's too late. Remember how suppressed workers were before unions came along? The unions leveled the playing field. Unfortunately, over a long period of time thependulum swung too far. Slowly, businesses and factories closed and jobs left the country. We were comfortable and didn't see the change coming. We blamed everyone except ourselves for what happened. We weren't alert to how slow things change over time. World War II, and the Korean War, demonstrated how powerful a united nationcould be. Our nation, and our families, were united. The father was the head of the family and the President was the head of the nation. Both were highly respected. We were content and happy. We were good at fighting a hot war but we were unprepared to fight a cold war with the communists in the 50's. They knew they couldn't change us but they didn't care. Their philosophy was to wait it out and capture the minds of our children. They loaded our colleges with many of their professors and waited. It didn't take long to see the results. The 60's ushered in the radicals, drug culture, student protesters, and the Vietnam War. The aim of the cold war was to divide and conquer. They divided our families and the nation. The secret to defeating a polite and respectful people is to scream. The louder and longer you scream the better your chance of winning. Radicals are masters at this form of attack. They know if you constantly scream and repeat a lie it will eventually become the truth. The media, and Hollywood, hammered us with hate America themes and stories. Our servicemen, and women, were jeered, cursed, and spit on. Even the people, who later wanted to become their President, thrashed them. We lost our first War in history. There was no hero's homecoming for our fighting men and women. The Reverend King, who was raised in the old school, peacefully changed therace issue and united the people. When he died the new breed of leaders like the Jesse Jacksons, Lewis Farrakhans, Al Sharptons, and Rev. Wrightsput a lid on his efforts and turned racism into a money-making machine. Corporations were green-mailed by threats of protests, product boycotts, or endless lawsuits. Every issue, large or small, became a race issue. The public recoiled in fear of being called a racist. Their voices were silenced because one word could cost you a career, get you fired, or get you sued. Even politicians buckled under to the pressure. The Florida legislature issued a formal apology for having slavery 200 years ago. They were thanked by being asked for compensation. There is no end in sight for this kind of nonsense.America didn't capture slaves and bring them to America. Their own people sold them to slave traders from several nations. This knowledge doesn't stop the screamers. History is what it is and you can't change it.There have been many tragic events in history. You acknowledge them and move on. They divided our nation into two separate Americas. We now have Americans, and African-Americans, although Africa has nothing to do with being an American. You can be one or the other but not both. You are what you were born to be. You do not subordinate our country to any foreign nation. It's equivalent to flying the African flag above the Stars and Stripes. If you hyphenate two countries America always comes first. This election year could be the turning point in our history because thefrog theory has come into play. It's time to step back and look at how the country has slowly changed since the cold war started. Don't get caught up in all the hype. George McGovern was the first Presidential candidate to test the waters with college students. The Clintons played a big role in his campaign. It was the worst campaign ever run. He was crushed in the election. Step two was to infiltrate all the information vehicles such as radio, newspapers, magazines, TV and movies. They were quite successful at that. Jimmy Carter was the first President to demonstrate the leadership skills ofthe far left. Weak military, high taxes, runaway inflation, 19% mortgagerates, and plain incompetence ended his career in Washington. Iran, a small country at the time, took American hostages and kicked sand in our face. By negotiating from weakness Carter could not get the hostages released. The big benefit of the Carter years is that they were followed by the Reagan years. The nation got a clear look at the difference between a weak nation and a strong nation. Every student should know this difference. When Ronald Reagan took over the hostages were quickly released, taxes were lowered, inflation dropped, mortgage rates dropped, and the military was strengthened. Russia quickly waved the white flag and waited for another Democrat term. Clinton took over Carter's uncompleted social programs. He weakened themilitary and tried to pass large government programs. An intern derailed his Presidency. While he was tied up with his personal problems his lawyers ran the country. He passed up three opportunities to take out Osama BinLaden. This eventually cost us the loss of our Twin Towers, thousands of American lives, and got us involved in a war with Iraq. By the end of his term the left had captured a large share of the media andit flexed its muscle in 2000. The hate Bush campaign got off to a roaring start. The brain washing theory of repeating the same story over and over again was launched. There were endless stories about our evil nation and its President.Top-secret plans were leaked to the press and printed for the entire world to see. Hollywood cranked out documentaries about the evil Bush administration and our evil military. They laid the groundwork for the next election. The ACLU flooded the courts with lawsuits and the Democrat party became a law firm. Almost every incumbent, or his or her spouse, is a lawyer. They now have the perfect candidate because they can squash criticism byplaying the race card. If you don't like Obama, or criticize him, you are a racist. They can hide his inexperience and background by turning him into a rock star and singing change and hope. They don't tell us what kind of change, or how it will be done, only that you should hope for the best. By keeping the hype going they don't have to put anything of substance on the table. The only thing we really know about Obama is that his wife has never been proud to be an American. They want us to believe that his liberal college professors, Rev. Pfleger, his ties to radicals Bill Ayers and LewisFarrakhan, and listening to the Rev. Wright's hate talks for 20 years, had no influence on his thinking. If they didn't, then who did? He wasn't in business and didn't see fit to serve his country. These people launched his political career and their organizations received earmarks in return for their campaign donations and political help. They must have had some influence. Rev. Wright's church received over $15 million. That's only one small local church. Think on a national scale. The change being promoted is a change back to the Carter years. It started in 2006 when the lawyer party took over. There have been endless lawsuits and investigations in retaliation for the Clinton years. It keeps the lawyers busy but does nothing for the economy. The economy has been in a downward spiral since they took over. Returning to the Carter years of high taxes, high inflation, and a weak military is not the change we are looking for. We cannot cower to a bunch of crazies whose only goal in life is to kill us. The old sages (over 50) will have to play a big role in this election. The young people simply don't know what the aged know. The advantage of aging is the knowledge you accumulated. You know what United States means. You know what the seldom-heard word respect means. You know how wonderful freedom and independence is. You know the difference between a strong and aweak nation; and you know what it takes to keep it strong. You know history because you have lived it. Although the old guard is dying off, and getting too tired to fight, they have to muster one more charge. If they don't, our children and grandchildren will never know the joy and freedom that is the bedrock of our country. The heat is slowly being turned up and the water is getting hot.The old frogs better start jumping before it's too late.

Theyoung people simply don't know what the aged know. The advantage of agingis the knowledge you accumulated. You know what United States means. Youknow what the seldom-heard word respect means. You know how wonderfulfreedom and independence is. You know the difference between a strong and aweak nation; and you know what it takes to keep it strong. You know historybecause you have lived it. Although the old guard is dying off, and getting too tired to fight, theyhave to muster one more charge. If they don't, our children andgrandchildren will never know the joy and freedom that is the bedrock of ourcountry. The heat is slowly being turned up and the water is getting hot.The old frogs better start jumping before it's too late.
