COMING SOON: EARLY KERRY ON C-SPAN
LISTEN UP, ONE AND ALL: Dust off that old VCR! Break out a fresh tape! Or, for you "rich Republicans," plug in your TiVo.

C-SPAN, as part of its "Road to the White House," is broadcasting Sen. Kerry's 1971 testimony before Sen. Fulbright this Sunday night (6:30 & 9:30).

Just as significant, the following Sunday (March 28) they will be showing the 1971 Dick Cavett Show's John Kerry and John O'Neil (anti-war) debate.

BOTH ARE NOT TO BE MISSED!

So, stock up on your favorite adult beverage (we are all going to need some "fortification") and break out the popcorn. On second thought, that may not be such a good idea, as I'm sure that most of us will probably feel ill from what we see and hear.

BUT DEFINITELY, get the word out to one and all. These two shows, I hope (dare I add "and pray," or is that no longer permissible?) may very well lead to a Sen. Snake "implosion." Let's see him try and "deny" his own testimony!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Re: George Neumayr's The Treason Temptation:

This morning I slept in late. Rolled over, saw it snowing again. I am an old Nam Vet. Days like today I really hurt. Finally nature made me get up, and afterward I sat down to my computer, which Mum had already warmed up. "The Treason Temptation." Right on.

I personally am offended by all this attention paid to other nations in this world. Just because other nations still have out houses and trenches doesn't mean we have to. Just 'cause other nations drive Saabs, Toyotas, Volkswagens, and Kias, doesn't mean we have to. Yes, I am comparing foreign made cars to outhouses. Back when I was a kid, Chevys and Fords and Mercurys were about it. Plus an occasional Stude or Henry J.

Year after I graduated from high school, '63, some ass threw God out of the schools. That is one step that the anti-God people took that really stands out. Since then, they let satan in, and therefore all the attention to the other nations of the world. Most of these Democrats who have fallen in love with the other nations are a product of our school system, which has promoted a godless lifestyle, allegiance to the perverted whims of Hollywood, and the fads of the rest of the world.

As for me and mine, we vote Republican, believe in God, fly the American Flag, along with some others, POW/MIA for one, and believe in the Constitution. We keep our guns clean, our Caddy washed, and make sure our BUSH bumper stickers are in good order. We stand by Israel.

We really couldn't care less what Vietnam, North Korea, or China thinks of us, what we have, or who we vote for. Course America has seasoned itself over the years. We find it easier and easier to accept treasonous activities. I ain't very fonda Jane Fonda, or Kerry either.

BACK TO SKOAL
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Binge College:

I am a 45-year-old ex-investment banker returning to school to get my teaching certification. I can assure you that vacuous is a generous description of my fellow students. There is virtually no intellectual curiosity at all, and the lack of general knowledge is astounding. You would be interested to know that Martin Luther King was president during the Vietnam War. And that the only democracy in the Middle East is France! I don't think that the drinking is as prevalent as when I was in school in 1980, but ignorance is surely on the rise.
