Sept 8, 2004 -- What pearl of wisdom has Uncle Jerry got for us today? |
Falwell Confidential
Date: September 9, 2004
From: Jerry Falwell
HERE COME THE ATTACK DOGS
You knew they were coming. You could almost hear the attack dogs howling on
the horizon as the Republican National Convention wrapped up. And after
President Bush received a substantial bump in the polls following the
convention, the packs of relentless political assailants came charging from
the shadows to hit the airwaves, embarking on their rabid campaign to
destroy the president.
These vicious political hacks are now seeking to drudge up old allegations
about President Bush. They are recklessly charging (once again) that Mr.
Bush did not fulfill his National Guard service even though his military
records conclusively show that he did indeed complete his required drills
and did receive an honorable discharge from the Texas Air National Guard in
1973. Remember that those slinging this mud are the same people who go into
fits of hysterics when the Swift Boat Veterans Against Kerry get some media
attention.
A new face on the horizon is Former Texas House Speaker Ben Barnes, who is
garnering headlines by saying he helped Mr. Bush avoid service in Vietnam.
But Mr. Barnes in 1999 said that no one from the Bush family asked for such
assistance; he testified to the same fact under oath. Barnes, a Democrat,
was defeated in Texas after he was implicated in a quick-profit stock scheme
that was allegedly designed to win the passage of two banking bills. He is
also a Kerry campaign vice chair.
CBS' Dan Rather thinks Mr. Barnes is worthy of lots of TV airtime, even
though the network's "60 Minutes" has never featured the Swift Boat
Veterans.
This desperate action is just another attempt by the Kerry campaign to
change the subject from issues to insults, and from policy to the politics
of personal destruction.
It's really quite pitiful.
The president's adversaries are also attempting to attack his character.
This is being primarily through a new book by Kitty Kelley, who has made a
lucrative career by assailing public figures. This cash-for-trash book,
titled "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," is full of Ms.
Kelley's typical deceit. Remember that she wrote that Ronald Reagan was
guilty of date rape and of attending marijuana parties during his tenure as
governor of California.
This new book is so flawed that neither Time nor Newsweek magazine would
serialize it. The book is coming out now because President Bush is leading
John Kerry - it's that simple. I have been told that it accuses President
Bush of paying for an abortion in his younger days in Houston and actually
accuses Laura Bush of selling marijuana in her college days.
Ms. Kelley must have gone to the Jerry Springer School of Journalism. The
tragedy is that many in the media will treat this rag as if it is the most
important work since The Bible.
We can also expect the usual suspects to join in the no-holds-barred attacks
against the president. They will come from the seamy sectors of Hollywood,
the so-called mainstream media and the Kerry/Edwards camp that learned
political protocol at the Carville-Begala School of Scorched Earth Politics.
The left will ride the above dead horses right up until November 2. Until
then, their candidate will continue to routinely change his political mind
on virtually every pertinent issue facing our nation - at least once - while
simultaneously casting himself as a bold political leader. With Mr. Kerry
the very picture of confusion and uncertainty, it's actually small wonder
his handlers have chosen such a diabolical campaign agenda to get him
elected.
The left realizes that George W. Bush is a man of character who continues to
uniquely connect with growing numbers of Americans. I am praying that the
more the left attempts to destroy him the more people will see through the
lies and distortions and realize what a good man sits in the Oval Office.
I think of Proverbs 28:2 when I think of Mr. Bush: "When a land
transgresses, it has many rulers, but when the ruler is a man of
discernment, understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue."
I believe President Bush is such a man. And this man continues to need the
prayers of all people of faith. I am appealing to all believers to
fervently pray for President Bush in the weeks to come, because no political
leader has ever been under such fierce attack as he is about to experience.
It's going to get ugly and those of us who love and appreciate him must
stand with him with our prayers and support in these days to come.
