Thomas

Williams, Brad
Edmonds, David
Limbaugh, Ann
Coulter and of course,
Linda
Bowles, unfailingly
tell it the way it is.

Linda Bowles 01/22/02 The
tragedy-in-process that moves our country toward socialism is based on
the success of liberalism in teaching people to look to big government
rather than to themselves for the satisfaction of their needs -- and
to man's law, rather than to God's commandments, for moral direction.
- --
Linda Bowles 12/11/01 Can
there be any doubt that a drumbeat of stories featuring guns as
indispensable instruments for preventing rape, and defending lives,
family and treasure, would cause a significant shift in attitudes
toward gun ownership?

Linda Bowles 09/25/01
What a monstrous irony that in this time of dire peril, as God hears
prayers rising in a mighty chorus from across the nation, our children
sit captive in government school classrooms where prayer is forbidden,
God is ostracized, and religion is held in open contempt.
This cannot be viewed as a
neutral position toward religion. Children understand that when
something is banned, it must be wrong or dangerous. The spurious
"separation of church and state" has evolved into a mandated
separation of children and God.
I pray we will not allow the lessons of this
tragedy to be gradually undermined and chipped away by those among us
who secretly consider our national renewal of faith and unity a
setback to their agenda.

I am thankful President Bush is not windy, that he
speaks directly and clearly to the point, and tells the truth. We've
had enough of beautifully crafted false promises and clanging symbols.
This crisis is not a test of the president's ability to make stirring
speeches. It is a test of his ability to frame a smart strategy and
execute it. In my opinion, President Bush is a man for his time, as
was Truman a man for his.

The American standard for public office has been set so low, a snake
could crawl over it.

It is time to give the preborn their full constitutional rights and
protections.

Linda Bowles 07/24/2001
Unless we change course, and soon, our destination is either moral
anarchy and social chaos, or the surrender of all our freedoms to Big
Brother in exchange for his promise to protect us from ourselves.

Linda Bowles 07/17/2001
It is time to face the wretched reality that the American classroom
has been appropriated by liberal ideologues. Their goal is to strip
away all vestiges of religion, and fill the vulnerable psyches of
children with the secular mind-sets, ideas and philosophies that will
resonate with a hedonistic and socialistic society.

Linda Bowles 07/04/2001
The struggle in America today is between those who want to return us
to constitutional principles and the religious values that inspired
them, and those who have been corrupted by their fraudulently acquired
power and cannot bear the thought of returning it to its rightful
owners, namely the people.

There is a grander plan that transcends birth
and death. The body cannot be saved; the soul can.

. . [T]he Kyoto Protocol is not about global
warming at all. It is about using environmental fears to advance an
egalitarian political agenda, defined as: empowering global
governance, overriding national sovereignty, redistributing the
world's wealth, and punishing the United States for its economic
dominance.

Linda Bowles 06/12/2001
There are ominous consequences to our
abandonment of the firm restrictions on government set forth in the
Constitution. It's time for outrage, thunderously expressed so that
even the numbest politician will hear it and be afraid.

Linda Bowles 05/15/2001
40 percent of the parents in the House of
Representatives and 49 percent of those in the Senate have sent their
own children to private schools.

If we truly want to be a color-blind
society, we will have to stop bringing up race all the time.

Who protects the civil rights of the
innocent when it is the government itself who violates them?
Why isn't Janet Reno in jail?

Bowles 04/10/2001
In zealous pursuit of a man-made utopia,
today's American socialists and communists, posing as liberal
intellectuals, have imposed a moral disaster upon America.

Linda Bowles 04/03/2001
Most of the dominant news institutions in
America, particularly but not exclusively those in television, may
accurately be described as special interest groups with partisan,
left-wing political and social agendas.

"When
the government fears the people, there is liberty.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
--Thomas
Jefferson
If one believes the constitution
is the law of the land, our central government is a constitutionally
limited republic. There is no reference to democracy — not
one. Democracy is the "tyranny
of the majority," or mob rule. My prayer is that those
who desire a leadership role inform themselves, be truthful and practice
moral principles.
[T]he United States is not a democracy – but a
republic – and that the present constitutionally prescribed means by
which the President and Vice President are selected State by State is
essential to preserving the diversity of the citizenry of the United
States and to maintaining the United States of as a Federal republic
composed of independent and sovereign States.

I fail to understand people
believing the lies, distortions and fraudulent scare tactics used by the
Demonratic [sic]
Party. Could it be the "dominant media" is not doing the job?
Hmm. Well, perhaps it is. <sigh>
The question is: Who is defining "the job"? An
example.
Perhaps we should be familiar with (memorize?)
the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto
and measure the actions, recommendations, statements and positions of
our elected representatives and unelected bureaucrats/administrators
against them.

"The United States does not need a massive
federal strategy to guide and regulate its creation of energy. It
doesn't need government subsidies for alternative fuels, it doesn't need
price caps, it doesn't need new taxes on SUVs, it doesn't need mandatory
conservation. All it needs is economic liberty. Entrepreneurs,
self-interested consumers, and the free market will take care of the
rest."
— Jeff Jacoby,
Boston Globe columnist 6/11/01 |
"The result of all this dissembling, obfuscation and lying is that
the law becomes what you can get away with. Smear the opposition;
eradicate the evidence; turn on your own if you must; attack the
opposition as biased and partisan, and argue every point to the bitter
end regardless of the consequence to anyone but yourself. The end
justifies the means."
— Pete du Pont as
quoted in The Clinton Legacy: Rule or Ruin by

OKC Bombing and
Terrorism
Jon
[Roland] sez:
Due to heavy
demand we have put David Hoffman's book
“Oklahoma
City Bombing and the Politics of Terror” back
online even though further editorial revision remains to be done. Some
passages in the printed edition are not yet inserted in this online
edition, some passages omitted in the printed edition have not yet been
flagged to show this, and the endnote numbers often will not match the
correct endnotes. While I work on getting the revisions completed, please
do not quote long passages extensively or complain of endnote errors.
Check on the current state of revision before downloading local copies of
the chapters to share with others. We don't want a lot of uncorrected
copies floating around and not being corrected after the corrections are
made.
This is the book that
former FBI Assistant Director Oliver "Buck" Revell sued to
suppress, and got the publisher to pulp his remaining copies in a
settlement. However, Hoffman continued to fight and recently won the suit.
Unfortunately, the pulping means that printed copies will be difficult to
obtain, and the online edition will be the only one readily available.
Hopefully it will be reprinted
Jacq' sez:
Timothy McVeigh was under the delusion he was
responsible for the damage to the Murrah Building? The dominant
media kept telling us that. Golly then, it must be true.
I have a copy of the
original printing of this book. It is full of typos and other
apparent unedited errors. I discussed this with the author at the
Carthage gathering organized by the Reeds a couple years ago. He
said we were lucky the book exists.
I understand the market for
the book today is in the $150-$200 range. Of course price is the
mechanism for rationing scarcity, eh? No, you may not borrow it. |
