Great article by Mr. Cain!

p>I'll never forget the grace, dignity and class showed by Mr. Cain on C-Span during a Senate sub-committee hearing years ago when he was sandbagged by the "Murderous Swimmer" Ted Kennedy. Mr. Cain was subjected to the Judge Clarence Thomas treatment while the MSM ignored it. Mr. Cain, like Judge Thomas, vastly outclassed the "Murderous Swimmer" with his prose and wit. br> -- Joe Weldon br> Juno Beach, FL /p>

The Live Aids, the concerts for the downtrodden, and all of the folderol of the "artistic left" are nothing more than the final triumph of "style over substance." They illustrate quite accurately the Leftists subscription to feeling over reason. They don't amount to a whisper in a canyon as far as helping the peoples who are suffering. The vacillating Left continue to slide back and forth on an axis between don't let these governments tyrannize their people, and these are legitimate governments with whom we have no right to interfere. If they were left to their own devices, the Left would be holding concerts and love ins for the downtrodden of Iraq, while Saddam Hussein and his sons continued to grind the families of the women they had raped into hamburger.

p>It is ironic that those who scream loudest about the war in Iraq are the ones who are the most ardent supporters of the idea that we are responsible for the poverty of other nations. They are textbook examples of the moral and philosophical ambivalence of the modern Left. br> -- Joseph Baum br> Newton Falls, Ohio /p> p>
