Sept 3, 2004 -- What has Uncle Jerry Falwell have to say to us today? |
Falwell Confidential
Date: September 3, 2004
From: Jerry Falwell
ZELL'S FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
As a Baptist preacher, I have witnessed a few blistering sermons through the
years. But I can't recall a sermon as scorching with passion and righteous
indignation as the Republican National Convention speech given by Sen. Zell
Miller, the Georgia Democrat who pulled no punches in identifying the
absolute surrender of his party to leftist special interest groups at this
pivotal time in our nation's history.
Speaking for the vast majority of Democrats and Republicans in the south,
Sen. Miller decried the Democrat policies that are "motivated more by
partisan politics" than by a concern for our national security. It needed
to be said and Sen. Miller was the perfect man to deliver the message.
I was privileged to spend three days at the Republican Convention in New
York City and felt specifically honored that I was in the house to witness
Sen. Miller's moving call for bipartisanship in the defense of freedom and
the effort to safeguard our nation from those who seek to annihilate us.
While I knew that the left would criticize Sen. Miller for crossing party
lines and utilizing tough language, I never imagined how far that criticism
would go.
Erstwhile talk show host ***** Cavett actually accused Sen. Miller of looking
like a "Klansman" on the "Imus in the Morning" broadcast on Friday. Two
days earlier, MSNBC talking head David Gergen suggested on a "Hardball"
segment that Sen. Miller was a "man of hate" in the vein of his one-time
segregationist boss, Georgia Democrat Gov. Lester Maddox.
Thankfully, conservative analyst Laura Ingraham, who was sitting on the
MSNBC dais with Mr. Gergen, ripped into him in defense of Sen. Miller. In a
heated retort, she blasted those who would use such inflammatory rhetoric to
attack the senator because his speech had dared to expose the left's
influence by pacifists and globalists who don't have America's best
interests at heart.
On her website (lauraingraham.com) this week, Ms. Ingraham furthered her
defense of Sen. Miller: "The usual suspects in the media (Joe Klein, Chris
Matthews, etc.) are breathless about Zell Miller's 'angry' convention
speech. Well, Zell has a right to be angry. He's been a good Democrat his
whole life, and after he served as governor of Georgia, he goes to the U.S.
Senate and finds that the whole party has been taken over by elitists who
despise him and everything he stands for. And on top of everything else, he
has to watch John Kerry - of all people - claim to be strong on defense.
That should make a person mad. ."
I appreciate the warrior spirit of Ms. Ingraham and her willingness to take
a stand. We need more like her. It's about time we see some righteous
anger to counter the reckless allegations that typically spring out from
leftist critics who ignore their own party's skeletons.
As for the overall state of the Republican Party, I can report that the GOP
platform is very reflective of our conservative ideals. I was able to meet
with several party officials, including Senate Majority Leader William
Frist, who were actively involved in creating and guarding the platform. I
am happy to report that the platform remains pro-life and pro-family.
I believe the platform has been just as important as the convention in the
accelerated momentum the GOP now has.
And now that the convention is over, many members of the mainstream media
are almost hysterical regarding the thrust the event brought President Bush.
Unlike John Kerry's dilemma after the Democratic Convention, where his poll
numbers remained virtually stagnant, President Bush got an immediate bump in
the polls (which some say may rise to 8-9 points by Monday).
I believe this is yet a clear indication that the majority of our fellow
Americans are tired of the notion that, as Sen. Miller described it,
"America is the problem, not the solution." I thank God for intrepid men
like Sen. Zell Miller who will stand against a terrible tide of unreasonable
disparagement in order to defend the nation we love.

[QUOTE]
My job tonight is an easy one: to present to you one of this nation's
authentic heroes, one of this party's best-known and greatest leaders - and
a good friend.
He was once a lieutenant governor - but he didn't stay in that office 16
years, like someone else I know. It just took two years before the people of
Massachusetts moved him into the United States Senate in 1984.
In his 16 years in the Senate, John Kerry has fought against government
waste and worked hard to bring some accountability to Washington.
Early in his Senate career in 1986, John signed on to the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Bill, and he fought for balanced
budgets before it was considered politically correct for Democrats to do so.
John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost
the economy and protect the environment. Business Week magazine named him
one of the top pro-technology legislators and made him a member of its
"Digital Dozen."
John was re-elected in 1990 and again in 1996 - when he defeated popular
Republican Governor William Weld in the most closely watched Senate race in
the country.
John is a graduate of Yale University and was a gunboat officer in the Navy.
He received a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three awards of the Purple Heart
for combat duty in Vietnam. He later co-founded the Vietnam Veterans of
America.
He is married to Teresa Heinz and they have two daughters.
As many of you know, I have great affection - some might say an obsession -
for my two Labrador retrievers, Gus and Woodrow. It turns out John is a
fellow dog lover, too, and he better be. His German Shepherd, Kim, is about
to have puppies. And I just want him to know ... Gus and Woodrow had nothing
to do with that.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Senator John Kerry.[/QUOTE]
Zell 2004
[QUOTE]no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two
Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.
Together, Kennedy/Kerry have opposed the very weapons system that won the
Cold War and that is now winning the War on Terror.
Listing all the weapon systems that Senator Kerry tried his best to shut
down sounds like an auctioneer selling off our national security but
Americans need to know the facts.
The B-1 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, dropped 40 percent of the bombs
in the first six months of Operation Enduring Freedom.
The B-2 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered air strikes against
the Taliban in Afghanistan and Hussein's command post in Iraq.
The F-14A Tomcats, that Senator Kerry opposed, shot down Khadifi's Libyan
MIGs over the Gulf of Sidra. The modernized F-14D, that Senator Kerry
opposed, delivered missile strikes against Tora Bora.
The Apache helicopter, that Senator Kerry opposed, took out those Republican
Guard tanks in Kuwait in the Gulf War. The F-15 Eagles, that Senator Kerry
opposed, flew cover over our Nation's Capital and this very city after 9/11.
I could go on and on and on: against the Patriot Missile that shot down
Saddam Hussein's scud missiles over Israel; against the Aegis air-defense
cruiser; against the Strategic Defense Initiative; against the Trident
missile; against, against, against.
This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed
Forces?
U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?
Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks
of campaign rhetoric.
[/QUOTE] blah blah blah, etc...
a perfect example of a typical hypocritical ***** politician.

The first speech was before Miller had a mental breakdown and had to have
his
concience surgically removed.
He's a "Stepford Politician."

It seems there are more flip-floppers in the republican camp than the
democrat's.
