Useful Fools

Recently a U.S. Senator moved into my office building in Phoenix, AZ.

From his office, you’d never guess who it is:

.

From Greek Mythology: Narcissus, who was as beautiful as Dionysus 2 or Apollo, discovered his image in a pool, he fell in love with himself, and not being able to find consolation, he died of sorrow by the same pool.

Or from Dictionary.com:

nar·cis·sism Audio pronunciation of “narcissist” ( P ) Pronunciation Key (närs-szm) also nar·cism (-szm)
n.

1. Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit.

2. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.

On September 12, the Vietnam Vets for the Truth held an anti-Kerry rally at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

One inspiring speakers earned his purple heart the hard way. Read Dexter Lehtinen’s story.

Meanwhile, Vietnam Vets for the Truth continues. We are sponsoring Operation Street Corner throughout the nation, and are putting up anti-Kerry billboard messages where appropriate. Contributions to VVR of any size are appreciated at our web site.

Poor John Kerry

And this new book is proving contrary.

The book is Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry by John O’Neill and Jerome Corsi. It gives the story of John Kerry in Vietnam and his subsequent shameful Anti-War career. Read this book and you’ll see why almost all Swift Boat Veterans detest Kerry and why almost 300 of them, including his entire chain of command pronounced him unfit for command, a historical (if poorly reported) event.

John O’Neill inherited Kerry Swift Boat after Kerry’s short tour. He debated Kerry in the early ’70s on nationwide TV.

Dr. Jerry Corsi is a historian who specializes in the Anti-Vietnam War movement.

Veteran Swift Boat Officer John O’Neill and historian Dr. Jerome Corsi have written the definitive book on John Kerry and Vietnam. John O’Neill, who inherited command of Kerry’s Swift Boat after Kerry’s abbreviated tour of duty has much insight on Kerry’s performance as a Swift Boat Officer. Dr. Corsi is a specialist on the history of the Vietnam Anti-war movement, and covers Kerry’s vicious attacks on his fellow soldiers and his country during his time with the anti-war movement.

The book is Unfit for Command and will be available at Amazon here.

This book will give you information about the presidential candidate that can be found nowhere else. It contains information so damaging that the Kerry campaign is already lashing out against it.

If you just can’t wait, here are a few goodies.

I was raised a Presbyterian. It used to be a pretty normal, midwestern style church. I attended in Albuquerque and in Lawrence, Kansas, sang in the choir and in general found it a very ordinary sort of church. It sponsored Boy Scouts, had Sunday School and had various communitarian activities.

Then the leftists took over, and the national Church (which barely qualifies for the name) has done one outrageous thing after another.

Now the national church has taken a major antisemitic step: they have chosen to divest their investments in Israel. In other words, they are economically attacking the Jewish homeland. This is happening around the same time that the Catholic Church formally recognized anti-Zionism as antisemitism.

This is what happens when the left takes over an organization. First, it starts promoting all sorts of trendy causes, no matter what the official mission is. Then it starts supporting the hatred agenda of the hard left.

I am ashamed of this organization. I would hope individual congregations would leave the national organization. It is no longer behaving as a Christian organization, but rather as one more arm of the morally backwards left wing world of hate.

“Mainstream” protestant denominations in America have been captured by the left. This is probably a result of Vietnam era draft deferments for seminarians. As a result, the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Churches are gaining in membership, as the “mainstream” churches slowly wither away.

For the Presbyterian Church, withering away cannot happen fast enough.

From WND:

A Swedish court has sentenced Ake Green, a pastor belonging to the Pentecostal movement, to a month in prison, under a law against incitement, after he was found guilty of having offended homosexuals in a sermon, according to Ecumenical News International.

What this guy said was fairly nasty, but in the US nobody would send him to jail. But in Sweden, offending homosexuals is worth a month in prison. Since just about anything goes in Sweden, it’s interesting that offending homosexuals (in a church sermon) is a crime.

One more reason that the European superior attitude towards the United States is so wrong.

To my regular readers,

Thank you for reading ths blog.

My blogging will be dramatically reduced for the next 10 days or so.

But then, blogging will return.

From israelinsider:

Scores of Palestinians demonstrated yesterday in Gaza and the West Bank against what they called American “war crimes” in Iraq, media sources reported. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations, which are reportedly considering joining the Fatah in a power-sharing arrangement in Gaza, hailed the “new Intifada” against the U.S.-led “occupation” in Iraq.

More than 150 Palestinian women protested outside the UN offices in Gaza City, burning an American flag to protest coalition efforts to quell an uprising by Shiite militiamen in Iraq, the AFP reported. The women also handed over a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in which they denounced “the grave violations perpetrated against the Iraqi people” by the U.S. forces.

This speaks for itself. The Palestinian are insane.

Today’s part of the “World Wide Protest” in Phoenix was a bit of a disappointment. It seemed to have an incoherent message. I don’t know what they were trying to say. It sounded mostly like a combination of a Hate Bush cult, a bunch of far left folks tropes, and various other odd concepts. Certainly some predictably advocated immediate removal of our troops from Iraq (which is, of course, idiotic). But otherwise it was a strange little group.

The Bush Campaign is over the top with this campaign tactic!
