  Ken Starr | March 27, 2007 | Digg This

KEN STARR PLAYS FOR THE OTHER TEAM

There is an old saying that, if you have a reputation for being an early riser, you can sleep until Noon.

Kenneth W. Starr, who served in the Justice Department under Presidents Reagan and George H. W. Bush, has a totally undeserved reputation as a Constitutional conservative.

It was Starr who recommended the appointment of Sandra Day O’Connor to the Supreme Court, failing to disclose to President Reagan her consistent pro-abortion record as a state senator and feminist activist in Arizona.

It was Starr who misdirected the investigation of Bill Clinton during Congressional consideration of impeachment and conviction. Clinton owes his exoneration from conviction as much to Starr as to anyone else.

There are other examples of Starr’s role as an establishment conservative, always available to sell out our cause to the powers that be.

The latest example of this is the unconstitutional proposal to grant voting representation to the District of Columbia in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Starr, who is a former Federal appellate judge and former independent counsel, says he has analyzed the D.C. vote bill and believes it to be Constitutional.

Personally I prefer the plain language of the Constitution to the slanted opinions of Kenneth W. Starr.

Here is what the Constitution has to say: Article I. Section Two. "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States".

Article I. Section Eight. "The Congress shall have Power…To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States".

  • End U.S. subsidies to the United Nations.

  • Pass the Constitution Restoration Act (CRA).

  • Defeat amnesty for illegal aliens.

  • Repeal all taxes on Social Security benefits.

    JOHN SCHROTE WAS A COURAGEOUS AMERICAN PATRIOT

    I lament the passing of my beloved friend, John E. Schrote, who served as my principal assistant when I was Director of the United States Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) in 1973, and in the previous two years when I functioned as Special Assistant to the Director and Associate Director of OEO for Policy Review.

    John was a principled and courageous conservative who made a difference wherever he worked.


      General Pace is Correct | March 21, 2007 | Digg This

    GENERAL PACE IS CORRECT: HOMOSEXUAL CONDUCT IS IMMORAL

    Congratulations to General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for his courage in stating frankly that, in his opinion, homosexual conduct is immoral.

    It is a tragedy that this statement of the truth has put General Pace in the eye of another storm with criticism being directed against him by homosexuals and homosexual sympathizers in politics, in the media, in the arts and entertainment world, and elsewhere.

    It is hard for the Vice President of the United States to defend General Pace, given Cheney’s approval of the homosexual lifestyle of one of his children.

    Every one of us should drop a note to General Pace thanking him for his courageous statement based on God’s truth.

    In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, General Pace said that his upbringing taught him "certain types of conduct are immoral" citing adultery, as well as homosexuality.

    According to The Washington Times (3/14/07), more than 100 lawyers have signed on to a bill that would allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military, but according to General Pace "Saying that gays should serve openly in the military, to me, says that we, by policy, would be condoning what I believe is immoral activity."

    Virginia Senator John Warner who himself has led an immoral lifestyle in certain respects rebuked General Pace saying "I respectfully but strongly disagree with the Chairman’s view that homosexuality is immoral".

    Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates rebuked Pace by saying "personal opinion really doesn’t have a place here".

    Senator John McCain, in a wimpish observation, told reporters in California that the General "should be given a chance to explain himself".

    MAX HUGEL WAS A CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT

    During the 1980s, I worked closely with Max Hugel, a businessman who helped guide Ronald Reagan’s 1980 Presidential campaign in New Hampshire and then briefly served as Deputy Director of the CIA in 1981.

    Max died February 19 at his home in Ocala, Florida.
