Kerry's Choice for Religious Outreach Director 'Confounding,' Group Says
"Given all this, his choice of Mara Vanderslice as his religious point woman is confounding. Her resume is that of a person looking for a job working for Fidel Castro, not John Kerry.
Bush and Dole Agree: Shiftless Kerry Should Quit Senate
Prominent Republicans are jumping to voice approval of Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey's call for John Kerry to quit the Senate job he gets paid for but refuses to do.
Senate Adds Sexual Orientation, Gender to 'Hate Crimes' Law
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted to expand "hate crimes" legislation to cover crimes that target people because of their sexual orientation, gender, or disability.
Concerned Women for America, a conservative public policy organization, warned that the amendment lays the groundwork for the persecution of Christians, Orthodox Jews, Muslims and others who oppose homosexuality on religious grounds.
"Using similar laws, the mere criticism of homosexuality is considered a 'hate crime' in Sweden and Canada," said Robert Knight, director of CWA's Culture and Family Institute.
IRS: Homosexual Couples Cannot File As 'Married'
In a letter to a conservative, pro-family group, the Internal Revenue Service established this week that homosexual couples filing joint tax returns would be in violation of the law under the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Decent Proposal: More Girls Push for Modest Fashion Options
Catholic girl asks for more modest clothes in stores.
This will make NARAL mad.
No deportation because unborn baby is American
Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF), a teachers' union urges promoting gay lifestyle to children
After the Ball--Why the Homosexual Movement Has Won
"Issues of right and wrong were isolated as outdated, repressive, and culturally embarrassing. Instead, the assertion of "rights" became the hallmark of the public relations strategy."
This is an End of the Day report from Gary Bauer, of American Values
http://www.amvalues.org
The Imperial Judiciary
"When Phyllis J. Hamilton, a federal district court judge in San Francisco, yesterday struck down the ban on partial-birth abortions she became a "higher authority" than all the congressmen and senators you voted to elect, as well as, the president of the United States who had lobbied for the ban.
The ban on partial-birth abortion is not particularly controversial. The public overwhelmingly wants this gruesome procedure ended. The vote for the ban was 64-to-34 in the Senate - hardly a "squeaker." In the House it was also overwhelming - 282-to-123. But, now Judge Hamilton has determined that only she has the correct interpretation of the requirements of the Constitution where, by the way, the word abortion is not mentioned!
Who is Phyllis Hamilton, the jurist who now apparently governs you? She was appointed by Bill Clinton. We now know she believes our Constitution requires us to allow a doctor to extract the body of a late term unborn child from the womb, puncture its skull and extract its brains. For newcomers to this daily report, I apologize for that description, but the truth matters. No prisoner at Abu Ghraib was treated as badly as these poor unborn children who are grotesquely destroyed in the name of "choice."
Judge Hamilton is the same judge who a year ago said it was okay for a San Francisco school district to require its children to memorize verses from the Koran and become Muslim for two weeks in the interest of multiculturalism. Can you imagine how she would rule if the same school district required students to memorize versus from the Bible or Torah?"
Actually, we don't have to imagine. She's just like the judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals - the same court that declared the words "under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional.
The Pledge case is already before the Supreme Court. The partial-birth abortion ban is on the way there. Perhaps we will win both cases or win one and lose one. But, whatever the outcome my friends, we are not supposed to be governed by robed masters. The other two branches of government have equal authority to interpret the Constitution. In fact, they all take an oath to uphold it. It is time for them to use the remedies at their disposal to stop the out of control courts.
Terror Ambulances
"Israel T.V. last week ran video showing U.N. ambulances being used to help terrorists escape who had just killed six Israeli soldiers. At the same time a story has broken about a clandestine operation in which top terrorist thug Yasser Arafat moved around his key people using ambulances of the Red Crescent Society, an affiliate of the Red Cross. And in Iraq, U.S. soldiers have come under fire frequently from ambulances.
It is tempting to shrug off these incidents as merely more evidence of how our enemy routinely violates the rules of war while reading the "rule book" to us! But, these stories shouldn't go unaddressed. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan should investigate the use of U.N. vehicles and we should stop taxpayer subsidies until he does. And the International Red Cross should re-evaluate their "see no evil" relationship with the Red Crescent Society. But don't count on it! "

Abortion May Drag Us To History's Grave
Anthropologists tell us two of the biggest indicators of a doomed civilization are the practice of infanticide and human sacrifice. In other words, cultures and species that kill their own young do not survive. If history really does repeat itself, then American society may also be doomed to extinction.
Gay Marriage on the Front Burner from Missouri to Australia
A Missouri pro-family leader says the state's Democratic governor opposes a ban on same-sex "marriage" and would prefer an election on a constitutional amendment to that effect be held in August -- when it will have less chance of passage.
Catholic Parishioners Clash Over Gay Rights
CHICAGO — Parishioners who wore rainbow-colored sashes to Mass in support of gays and lesbians were denied communion in Chicago, while laymen in Minnesota tried to prevent gay Roman Catholics from getting the sacrament.
Homosexual Marriage: A Slippery Slope?
David Limbaugh
"Some on the right consider social conservatives an annoying single-issue breed and argue that the redefinition of marriage is nothing to fret over. They pooh pooh the slippery slope argument that if we completely legitimize same-sex marriage it will just be a matter of time before we sanction polygamy, bestiality, incest or pedophilia. Not to worry, they say. We always draw the line somewhere.
Oh? Upon what basis will we draw such lines anymore? "
My letter to Senator Bond:
I fear that the next attack on our freedom will be our right of free speech. This article concerns me:
http://www.crosswalk.com/news/1265152.html
Please do not let hate speech legislation pass. I want the freedom to call a sin a sin, not a "civil right".
I also support the Federal Marriage Amendment. Marriage is sacred and the foundation of the family, which is the foundation of society. Please protect it from this sacrilege.

Who would you want to be president if Al-Quida attacks again? Isn't it hypocritical that Bush was criticized for not warning us before 9/11, but now Kerry's gang is criticizing theBush guys for warning us this time?

American Catholic Voters Support for Kerry on Church Issues Falls as Low as Six Percent
A major poll of 1,388 American Roman Catholic voters shows Catholic presidential candidate John Kerry getting only 20% support among America’s 51 million Catholics on issues where he opposes the Church’s position with his support on some issues dropping as low as 6%.
African-American Leaders Launch Effort to Combat Homosexual Agenda
"Gay Marriage Is Not A Civil Right"
How Chinagate Led to 9/11
"The only place left to go with intelligence information – particularly for efforts to share intelligence information or obtain search warrants – was straight up Clinton and Gorelick’s multi-tiered chain of command. Instead, information lethal to the Democratic Party languished inside the Justice Department, trapped behind Gorelick’s walls."

How to Defeat Jihad in America
The simple fact we must face is that we will continue living under the ever-present fear and reality of domestic terrorism as long as Wahhabi and fundamentalist Moslems continue to reside and move around freely in the United States and other Western countries. Therefore, if we want to eliminate the threat of domestic terrorism, and not just keep dancing around the problem, we must stop talking about assimilating Moslems and start talking about excluding and deporting them instead.

Help pass the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act!
Urge lawmakers to cosponsor this major new pro-life bill.
What part of "Thou Shalt Not Kill" does she not understand? Since when is killing innocent, unborn babies something that is allowed by freedom of conscience? I wish they would read 1 Cor 11:27-30 "A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many among you are ill and infirm, and a considerable number are dying. If we discerned ourselves, we would not be under judgment; but since we are judged by (the) Lord, we are being disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world."

The wife of prominent US Senator Ted Kennedy decried as "dangerous" recent statements by Catholic clergy saying they would deny communion to Catholics who support abortion rights.

If Catholic politicians don’t like it they have three choices: apply church teaching in the political lives, leave politics or find another church.
Your Catholic Voice President Ray Flynn Calls Politicians' Letter to Bishops Disrespectful and Arrogant
Flynn, a pro-life Democrat said of his pro-choice fellow party members, "They want to be Catholic on election day and get the Catholic vote, but when they get to Washington or the state house, they consistently vote with every well financed radical group that is working against the most fundamental of all human rights."
The End of Religious Liberty in Canada
In passing this legislation, the Canadian Parliament added "sexual orientation" to the nation's laws criminalizing "hate speech." The end result is that the Bible may now be considered a form of criminalized hate literature and Christians who teach that homosexuality is sinful may face criminal charges.
Are children of gay parents worse off?

New evidence: Saddam's WMD in Lebanon
Through the use of satellites, electronic monitoring and human intelligence, the intelligence community has determined that much, if not all, of Iraq's biological and chemical weapons assets are being protected by Syria, with Iranian help, in the Bekaa Valley.
Those who do not learn from history will be condemned to repeat it.
The Kerry War: Longer, More US Dead
Even the astute blokes at the Weekly Standard don’t seem to understand Kerry’s position. Their Irwin Stelzer recently wrote, “John Kerry is as eager to call it quits in Iraq as is Bush, the main difference being that the Democratic candidate would have our troops hand over their responsibilities to blue-helmet U.N. peacekeepers with an unblemished record of failure …”

Florida bishop rebukes pro-abortion Catholics
He replies also to the accusations that politics is not the proper realm for churchmen, a criticism often accompanied by polemics about "separation of Church and State." "It is totally within our competence to say that one cannot be complicit in the injustice of denying the right to life of an unborn child or an invalid elder and still consider oneself a good Catholic," the bishop writes.
Cardinal said willing to meet Democrats opposing Communion ban
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Washington Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick is open to meeting a group of Catholic Democrats critical of bishops who would deny Communion to Catholic legislators favoring legalized abortion, said Susan Gibbs, the cardinal's spokeswoman.
Is fear of revolt in the collection basket making the bishops cowards?

WMD Stockpiles
Gazi George, a former Iraqi nuclear scientist under Saddam's regime, told Fox News he believes many similar weapons stockpiled by the former regime were either buried underground or transported to Syria. He noted that the airport where the device was detonated is on the way to Baghdad from the Syrian border.
"I'm sure they're going to find more once time passes," he continued, saying one year is not enough for the survey group or the military to find the weapons.
Iraqi Nerve Gas, WMD Find Blows Away Pundits
We all know from the anti-war fanatics that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - the leftist media and pundits have pounded that assertion into the American TV fact file. We are told again and again that George Bush lied.
The recent discovery of nerve gas and mustard gas in Iraq is clearly proof that it was Saddam Hussein that was lying. Saddam lied about his weapons and has hidden more than one for future use.
A Very Dangerous Place
Monday's news confirms what [David] Kay reported to an indifferent Congress: "We know that terrorists were passing through Iraq. And now we know that there was little control over Iraq's weapons capabilities. I think it shows that Iraq was a very dangerous place. The country had the technology, the ability to produce, and there were terrorist groups passing through the country -- and no central control."
Bruce Bartlett says:
India's voters may unwittingly have solved the outsourcing problem here in a way that America's protectionists never could.
President Bush Hits Pro-Life Themes in Commencement Address
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Bush touched on pro-life themes in his commencement address at Wisconsin's Concordia University. He urged graduates to help build a "culture of life" and warned them of the dangers of destroying human life to advance scientific research.
No Private Affair
Marriage is about more than the man and the woman.
Jeff Jacoby
The end of the gay marriage debate?
"But still another part of the answer to "How did we get here?" is that those who defend the traditional definition of marriage have been woefully ineffective in making their case."
Separation of church and state? But not separation of state from dictating church matters. Does this mean the state can force churches to marry gays?

Coalition of Catholic Women's Groups Supports Same-Sex Marriages

The court, appallingly, ruled in favor of the members and against the church, basically saying that the church doesn't have the right to enforce its own rules of discipline.

And now we know that there was little control over Iraq's weapons capabilities. I think it shows that Iraq was a very dangerous place. The country had the technology, the ability to produce, and there were terrorist groups passing through the country -- and no central control."

India's voters may unwittingly have solved the outsourcing problem here in a way that America's protectionists never could.
President Bush Hits Pro-Life Themes in Commencement Address

No Private Affair
Marriage is about more than the man and the woman.
Jeff Jacoby
The end of the gay marriage debate?
"But still another part of the answer to "How did we get here?" is that those who defend the traditional definition of marriage have been woefully ineffective in making their case."
Separation of church and state? But not separation of state from dictating church matters. Does this mean the state can force churches to marry gays?

Bishop: No Communion for Pro-abortion Voters
Those Catholic bishops who actually follow the church's teachings are now targeting more than just pro-abortion politicians such as John Kerry.

Vet: Officers told Kerry to leave Vietnam
Colleagues couldn't take John's behavior, attitudes anymore
This news story gives an interesting clue. Nicholas Berg was a Jewish-American. Was he slaughtered because of abuse in that Iraqi prison or because he was a Jewish-American?
Let's see now. Hmm. The 9/11 commission is accussing the Bush Administration of not getting enough intellegence to prevent the 9/11 attacks, but is going ballistic because military intelligence officers are doing too much to get information. Information that might save soldier's lives and prevent another attack on American soil. Does that make sense to you?
Wartime Tactics are Not Pretty, but Necessary

So Bosnia doesn't count? The war on terrorism hadn't started yet?
Democrats' attacks seen backfiring
"Yesterday, at a campaign stop in Arkansas, Mr. Kerry was sharper in his criticism of the war effort than he has ever been, boasting that "when Bill Clinton left office not one young American in uniform was dying in a war anywhere in this world."
Mr. DeLay noted that "under the policies in the 1990s, we suffered six dead at the World Trade Center bombing, 19 dead of the Khobar Towers, 224 dead in the Africa embassy bombings, 17 sailors dead on the USS Cole, and within months, 3,000 dead on 9/11."

Teresa Heinz Kerry's Tax Bill Lighter Than Bush's
Sen. John Kerry and his ketchup heiress wife, Teresa Heinz, paid a meager 15.2 percent of their gross income to the IRS last year, new data released Tuesday by the Kerry campaign shows.
Dem Touts Abu Ghraib as Political 'Silver Bullet'
"We have so many people out there that are so concerned about the human rights of a bunch of people who are murderers and terrorists that I find it offensive," he told Sean Hannity."
The Jerusalem Post has this to say.
Iraq in perspective
"The attempt to compare prisons filled with alleged terrorists and other jihadis with gulags past and present is obscene and an insult to the victims of terrorists and dictators.
How can enlightened people, who claim to care about human rights, compare the real gulags that now exist in places like Iran and North Korea, in which thousands of innocent people are being killed and tortured far from the public eye, to the American incarceration of terrorist suspects?
Regardless of where one stands on the debate over how to fight terrorism, it is incumbent on all those who care about human rights not to debase this fundamental concept by conflating its exceptional violation by countries who believe deeply in it with its rampant trampling by those who do not. Nor should we in the West, because of lamentable but exceptional incidents, condemn ourselves and the world to much greater injustices by simply throwing in the towel in this war to defend our freedom and beliefs.
In Iraq, Saddam Hussein's henchmen would feed prisoners into shredders and shoot them for sport."
I wonder. How do liberals know when something is wrong? Imagine the terrorists saying, "Killing someone is not something I would ever do, but I don't want to impose my beliefs on anyone else." How can liberals judge the terrorists if they promote the killing of unborn babies? Partial birth abortion is as cruel as beheading Nick Berg.
Gary Bauer's comments:
Al Qaeda War Crime
"News is just breaking that a jihadist website is running a video that purports to show an American, Nick Berg of Philadelphia, being beheaded in revenge for the events at Abu Ghraib prison. But before we jump to any conclusions about this being retaliation, remember that our enemy has been beheading us (Daniel Pearl), desecrating bodies (early American POW's) and ignoring the rules of war (hijacking aircraft) long before any of them were being humiliated by American MPs! Why do I think that by tonight this atrocity, if true, will be blamed on Secretary Rumsfeld and President Bush rather than on the murderers who want to behead, poison or irradiate all of us? By the way, the media this morning was describing Berg's body as showing "signs of trauma." It is only now that we discover from his murderers he was beheaded. The press wants us to see every photo from the prison, but they try to hide the handiwork of our enemy."
"Here's another fact you won't hear tonight on the major networks. In February of this year, the parents of one of the accused soldiers wrote to 17 senators, including Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy, informing them of events at the prison. There is no record that any of those senators, among them the loudest critics of President Bush and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, took any action."

Momentum Gaining to Dismiss Mass. Chief Justice Marshall
Two men preparing to carry crosses charged with disorderly conduct
DAYTON, Tenn. — Before they could get one of their trademark 10-foot wooden crosses fastened together, two men were arrested by Dayton police officers on charges of disorderly conduct at yesterday's Gay Day gathering.
Kerry a Kindred Spirit of Iraqi Abusers
Conventional wisdom holds that these atrocities will hurt President Bush; force him to defend yet another front in an increasingly unpopular war effort. But it is Kerry who stands the most to lose if American malfeasance in the war becomes a chapter in the foreign policy narrative within the 2004 election. Especially now that America’s eyes begin to turn toward Sen. Kerry’s Vietnam War – and post-war – record.
Did Colin Powell Hit a Bull's-Eye?
I asked State Department spokesman Adam Ereli if the department still stands behind everything Colin Powell said about Zarqawi in his Feb. 5, 2003, presentation to the Security Council. "Yes," said Ereli.
Time may be proving that on this all-important question, Powell hit his target dead-on.

The reason Al Gore hasn't added "anti-terrorism" to the list of things he invented is that Gore's commission concluded that passenger profiling must ignore ethnicity and nationality.
