Is the United States being chastised for it's sins?....flooding, heat waves, drought, hurricanes, severe storms, cold waves, tornados, wildfires, earthquakes, odd weather patterns.  See Messages from the MOTHER OF GOD and Index in middle column of Home page for PROPHECY given to Therese Neumann for the USA + Severe Weather, Natural Disaster, and Economic News. 

The Enduring Costs of John F. Kennedy's Compromise  "Churchgoing Catholics appear more willing than other Catholics to vote pro-life but the distinctiveness of the overall Catholic vote has become another casualty of the political assimilation that Kennedy pioneered."
Archbishop answers critics on Communion for politicians  "The archbishop was clearly responding to public protests that arose from pro-life Catholics after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senators Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Chris Dodd received Communion during a Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI."

Commentary: Although Archbishop Donald Wuerl may have had good intentions, it should not matter that these hypocritical politicians were members of another diocese.  What matters is that they were receiving Communion and therefore causing scandal in HIS diocese.  He is another example of a weak "Shepherd" who has more respect for his "brother bishops" than he does for our Lord.  Most bishops worry more about "unity" among themselves than creating disunity and scandal among their flock.  This does not reveal that they have a very deep love for those in their care.  VB

PRIESTS FOR LIFE VIDEOS DESCRIBING ABORTION PROCEDURES 
Commentary: The US Democratic Party, and those who vote for Democratic politicians approve of the killing of unborn human beings.  Three to four THOUSAND innocent Americans are being destroyed and put to death EVERYDAY through abortions due to the Democratic Party's refusal to support a Human Life Amendment to our Constitution.  Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama claim they are "pro-choice," but they are LIARS.  Our unborn are unjustly being sentenced to death without a trial and without being given a choice simply because they are not loved or not wanted

--- Vincent Bemowski - Webmaster/Editor

Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of the Archdiocese of Kansas City Publicly Tells Pro-Abortion Democratic Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius Not to Receive Communion

"I hope that my request of the governor, not to present herself for holy Communion, will provoke her to reconsider the serious spiritual and moral consequences of her past and present actions."
Commentary: At last, another bishop is truly seeking the Will of God over the "friendship" of other bishops who lack moral courage.  VB


"FINAL CONFRONTATION" - Are you ready? "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel." - Karol Cardinal Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II), November 9, 1976

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797) - Social/Political Philosopher & Statesman

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" (Ephesians 5:11)

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Caution: Very few movies made today in Hollywood and elsewhere are pleasing to God.  However, since most movie critics have become "accustomed" to many forms of immorality, they often view immoral portions of a film as "art" or as "necessary" elements that enhance the "quality" of the film.  

Others "tolerate" certain morally offensive portions of a film because being spiritually weak or "lukewarm" in the practice of their Faith, they believe the "overall message" of the film overrides any offensive words, scenes, or images.  Therefore it is recommended you first pray for guidance to avoid bringing harm to your soul and the souls of those near you.

Feb. '04  Sexual Abuse in Social Context: Clergy and Other Professionals - "Over the last four decades, less than 1.5 percent of the estimated 60,000 or more men who have served in the Catholic clergy have been accused of child sexual abuse....Almost all the priests who abuse children are homosexuals."

President Bush Addresses the Nation on Immigration Reform 
- "Amnesty would be unfair to those who are here lawfully, and it would invite further waves of illegal immigration... We cannot build a unified country by inciting people to anger, or playing on anyone's fears, or exploiting the issue of immigration for political gain. We must always remember that real lives will be affected by our debates and decisions, and that every human being has dignity and value no matter what their citizenship papers say." 
Also see: July '95  Undocumented Migrants - Message of Pope John Paul II for World Migration Day, 1996 - "Illegal immigration should be prevented, but it is also essential to combat vigorously the criminal activities which exploit illegal immigrants." April '05 Illegal Immigrants 'are not free-loaders,' says Guatemalan bishop - "Some call them 'illegals.'

***TOP STORY:

March '08 
Obama Attended Hate America Sermon - "Contrary to Senator Barack Obama’s claim that he never heard his pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. preach hatred of America, Obama was in the pews last July 22 when the minister blamed the “white arrogance” of America’s Caucasian majority for the world’s suffering, especially the oppression of blacks."
Commentary: To have someone as your "pastor" for 20 years and not be aware of his personality and his hateful attitude is not believable.  If Senator Barack Hussein Obama was not able to discern the immoral beliefs of Pastor Wright, how can he discern what is good for America?

Also see:

Abortion: Black genocide - "I believe there is a reason for the silence of black churches and black politicians regarding abortion. They actually have much in common with the abortionists: Abortionists are simply using blacks for power and wealth, the same way much of the black clergy, black politicians and liberal elite whites have used blacks for years." 
Commentary: Senator Obama is a "pro-death" politician. Through his votes in the Senate, Obama has given his approval to the deliberate killing of unborn Americans who are not wanted.  However, on this issue he represents the average Democrat, including Senator Clinton.  Surpassing even Hitler in his approval for the killing of innocent Jews, the US Democratic Party is the most morally corrupt Party in the history of politics.  They are responsible for the deaths of millions and millions of innocent unborn human beings in America due to their refusal to support a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution, and their belief in the slaughter of our unborn.
Race and Politics - "Barack Obama says he didn't hear the particular things that Jeremiah Wright said that are now causing so much comment.  It wasn't just an isolated remark. Nor were the enthusiastic responses of the churchgoers something which suggests that this anti-American attitude was news to them or something that they didn't agree with."
Commentary: By his words and actions, Barack Hussein Obama confirms over and over again that he is a liar, deceiver, and false prophet, and not worthy to serve our country in any capacity.
 
April '08   Obama Distorted Rev. Wright's Background - "In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Barack Obama again fabricated the background of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to try to excuse his longtime pastor’s denunciations of America and of whites."

SPECIAL COMMENTARY:

Unlike Martin Luther King, self-proclaimed leaders of the Black community like Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright, Jr have never learned that accusations of racism and immorality must not be a one-sided argument.  You must not excuse the racism and immoral lifestyles (high crime rate and number of abortions) of African Americans while condemning the racism and immorality of Caucasian Americans.  To gain the respect they desire and the peace they seek, Black Americans must first look inward rather than outward for answers.

Rather than attempting to place the blame on the current generation for things that happened in the past, Blacks should follow the path taken by other minorities.  They must learn to accept personal responsibility for the negative attitudes others may have concerning their actions and lifestyles and seek to continue to improve through education and by a deepening of their faith.

Part of Martin Luther King’s "dream" was that his children would someday not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Ironically, many people today are applauding misguided Black Americans like Obama, Jackson and Wright simply because of the color of their skin, while ignoring the "content of their character."

SPECIAL INTEREST WEBSITES:

***Catholics Against Rudy - "The purpose of this website is to empower faithful Catholics at the local level to educate their fellow parishoners about Rudy Giuliani’s abysmal record on non-negotiable “Culture of Life” issues (e.g., abortion, embryonic stem cell research) and traditional marriage."
***States probe limits of abortion policy - "While the makeup of the Supreme Court is the focus of much of today’s political calculations about the future of abortion in America, the role of states would become pivotal if the landmark decision were overturned. Any substantial weakening of Roe v. Wade would trigger an epic battle between 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' forces that would be fought in state capitols – and perhaps also in Congress." 
Commentary: The above article offers a
rare look at the history of abortion in the USA and is worth studying. VB
***
ObamaNation.com - "Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is viciously pro-abortion. He denies the most basic human right given to us by our Creator. In fact, he even goes beyond the pro-abortion position of some fellow Democrats by supporting of the brutal act of partial birth abortion."
***
What Barack Obama Wants For America - "Since 2004, Obama has built a lengthy track record, which includes votes against the Marriage Protection Amendment, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, and the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominees Samuel Alito and John Roberts. Obama also voted for the Embryonic Stem Cell Research Act and the Lautenberg Sex Ed Amendment (which promotes condoms and undermines abstinence-until-marriage curricula)."
Commentary: This misguided man is not morally fit to be President, or represent our country in any capacity. VB
***
Hopelessly Clouded Issues: The “Clinton Effect" - "Once in power, the Clintons time and again used similar tactics to dance away from scandals and destroy the reputations of critics or anyone who presented a political obstacle, essentially running roughshod over the entire political process and ultimately, the very rule of law itself." Includes a comment I posted. VB
***
The Clintons - One Lie Too Many? - "The Clintons exhibit all of the characteristics of pathological liars."
***
Mike Huckabee President 2008 - "The first unofficial Huckabee for President campaign BLOG founded Feb. 14, 2005." Commentary: While this website provides a lot of good information, it is far from the truth to say most Democrats are "good Christian folks." If so, why do they vote into office Democratic politicians who consistently lie about certain details of the war in Iraq, or routinely vote for killing our unborn through abortions & embryonic stem cell research, and/or approve of the immorality of gay lifestyles? To his credit, Governnor Huckabee appears to be the most "religious" of all the Republican candidates.  Like Romney, he was a good governor & administrator, but I do not believe he could beat H. Clinton or Obama if he ran for President.  Nor do I believe he would be a good choice for the office of Vice-President.  He is rather "naive" and often does not study moral and social issues as deeply as he should.  His defense of Senator Obama & the radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright (Obama's pastor) does not reveal a man who has the wisdom to effectively lead our country.  VB
***Mitt Romney for President 2008 - "And if you believe that as I do, that our source of strength is our people, then when America faces a new generation of challenges like we do today you don't look to government. You don't look to make government bigger. You don't look to make government stronger. You look to make the people stronger." 
Commentary: Romney's weakness is he comes across as almost too "professional," and not as "down to earth" as Huckabee or McCain.  Nor do I believe he could beat H. Clinton or Obama if he ran for President.  VB
***
John McCain for President 2008 - "As the son and grandson of distinguished Navy admirals, John McCain deeply values duty, honor and service of country."
Commentary: While I admire his war record, a major spiritual flaw in this candidate is his inconsistency on the issue of abortion. (He approves of research using embryonic stem cells, and believes the states and not the federal government should decide if abortion should be legal, which would not stop the killing of our unborn).  He also is reported to have a bad temper.  Many believe that for all his faults, he is the most "black & white" (he is what he is) of all the Republican candidates.  However, since he is not considered to be very "diplomatic" and is dangerously "patriotic," there is a good chance that should he become President his reckless style of speech could invite serious trouble that negatively affects our relationship with other countries.  But should he grow spiritually, especially on the issue of abortion, and gain knowledge as to when to effectively "use" his temper, he could prove to be a strong leader and a good President.  VB

"Allah willing, we will reach America....The eyes of the nation of Muhammad are set on Washington, London, Moscow, Paris, Delhi, Beijing, and other countries" - "I would like to congratulate the nation of Muhammad, and especially the mujahideen...we ask them that, as part of their resistance to the enemies of God...they increase their martyrdom and jihad operations, fight the sworn enemies of Islam - the Jews, the Christians.."
***
Two Muslim Feminists - "Islam is not a religion of peace. It is evil. Mohammed was an evil man who proclaimed himself the voice of God. His word was law and he fashioned it according to his whims and enforced it at the point of a sword.  Wafa condemns all of Islam.  Not just the terrorists. Wafa calls the religion of Islam a 'brainwashing machine' for 1.3 billion people."

PROPHECY OF THERESE NEUMANN IN 1946, JUST AFTER THE END OF WORLD WAR II 

NOTE: Therese Neumann was a German stigmatist and mystic, who for many years did not sleep and lived without food or liquids except for the daily Eucharist.
 

When asked by an American GI if the United States would ever be destroyed or invaded in a war, her answer was: "No, but at the end of this century America will be destroyed economically by a series of NATURAL DISASTERS."

Note: We know this has already partly come true because during the past few years the following disasters have occurred with greater frequency and/or greater intensity: flooding, heat waves, drought, hurricanes, severe storms, cold waves, tornados, wildfires, earthquakes, odd weather patterns.....

Maine Governor Requests Presidential Disaster Declaration
Nevada Governor Gibbons Announces Approval Of Federal Disaster Assistance
Washington Governor Gregoire Praises Federal Approval Of Additional Counties To Flood Disaster Declaration
Wisconsin Governor Doyle Statement on Presidential Disaster Declaration in Five Wisconsin Counties
Mississippi Governor Barbour Requests Disaster Declaration For Hinds County 
Storms Add An Additional Six Arkansas Counties To List Of Disaster Declarations 

Commentary: As with many prophecies, they are fulfilled to the extent that people are willing to amend their lives, truly practice their Faith, and live by God's Laws as given through the Holy Bible and the teachings of the Church. A punishment can be very severe, or lessened in intensity, depending upon the number of people who are willing to return to the Lord and follow HIS teachings, rather than the temptations of the devil and the teachings of the world.

When disasters & wars take place, the vast majority of people, (even leaders within the Church) do not recognize they are coming from the Lord since He is ALLOWING them to happen. Many express "compassion" for those who have suffered harm, but very few have the wisdom to truly see or express WHY "natural" disasters & wars happen. Others remain ignorant because as in all punishments, the INNOCENT suffer along with the GUILTY and they lack the spiritual knowledge to understand why that is GOD'S WILL.

In addition to their indifference and approval of abortion, what would be another reason God would inflict a punishment upon the people of the United States?

"And the Lord said: 'Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandments and doctrines (wishes & teachings) of men. Therefore behold I will proceed to cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle; for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.'" (Isaiah 29:13-14).

Note: The above Scripture is also coming true for very few today have the wisdom to lead our country in a manner that is pleasing to God, and beneficial to the welfare of our country.  There are no Democrats who have the moral qualifications necessary to lead our country because they believe you have the "right to kill" unborn Americans through abortions, and even among the Republicians who are qualified, their voices are not being heard due to the indifference of a morally corrupt society filled with selfish people who don't love or fear God. 

"For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear" (Ecclesiastes 8:11). 

"Wherefore, God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness; to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.  Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause, God delivered them up (withdrew His Grace) to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.  And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. 

And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things (that are evil & sinful) which are not convenient (not suitable or morally correct for a child of God). 

Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication (engaging in sex without being married), avarice, wickedness: full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity: whisperers.  Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parentsFoolish, dissolute: without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.  Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death (the punishment of Hell) - and not only they that do them, but they also that consent (participate in their evil deeds, or approve of their actions) to them that do them"
(Romans 1:24-32)


         
JAN. 19, 2008 COMMENTARY - "VOICES"

We are barraged with “voices” all around us. It seems every place we turn there is a “message” for us. Even the Sacred Scriptures have been so over-quoted and misused that many people have come to mistrust them. More than ever, everyone today has an opinion, but few have wisdom, and that is what separates the voices who teach us what is beneficial to us, versus the voices that preach things that are harmful to us.

Vanity is so widespread that it is difficult to find a truly humble person. Everyone wants to be a “star” - everyone wants to be “on camera.” Magazines, radio and television are filled with people with little to offer other than a big ego. This is the penalty society experiences when people place love for the creature above their love for God - the Lord withdraws His grace and lets them follow the evil desires of their heart, and therefore they suffer negative consequences. They lead a spiritually empty life without experiencing the Lord’s Peace.

People will endure severe weather and long journeys to attend a sporting event, but easily find excuses to miss a church service. Sunday is no longer the "Lord’s Day,“ but has become a day of selfish pleasure. No longer do people visit family members, the sick, or seek peace and quiet so they may hear the Voice of the Lord. The solutions to our problems lie within our hearts, however most people would rather place the blame on government officials or anyone else who does not share their opinions. Although there is no better place to live than the good old USA, we still have a lot of work to do to improve our image in the world. Everything depends upon renewing our relationship with Almighty God.

DEC. 7, 2007 COMMENTARY - THE WAR IN IRAQ

"Tokyo Rose" was a label generated by allied military personnel during World War II for a group of female broadcasters working for the Japanese government who claimed to "support" soldiers while psychologically attempting to demoralize them. Today's "Tokyo Roses" are "Queen" Hillary Clinton & her loyal servant, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Although they tell our troops they are "dying in vain," and their "mission is not needed or worthless," every politician in the Democratic Party also claims to "support our troops."

What a contradiction!! Along with the vast majority of our soldiers, I claim Democrats are hypocrites whose motives are political rather than patriotic. Our troops are VOLUNTEERS, and not draftees!  Because of the Democratic Party's refusal to support a Human Life Amendment to our Constitution almost 4,000 unborn Americans are killed through abortions EVERYDAY!  Yet these fools, and their "lapdogs" in the media complain about the deaths of almost 4,000 American soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for their country in Iraq since March, of 2003!

A war resolution approved by Congress, is far more "just" than an undeclared war against unborn Americans who are being sentenced to a cruel death without a trial simply because they are not wanted! Those who approve of the mass murder of our unborn often claim they are "pro-choice," but what choice are our innocent unborn children being given?

Nov. 15, 2007 COMMENTARY -  DEMOCRATIC PARTY GUILTY OF MASS MURDER

Although there are a few in the Republican Party, the U.S. Democratic Party is mostly made up of politicians who believe you have the “right to kill” unborn Americans in the womb. They have consistently blocked the Republican Party’s attempts to add a Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would protect innocent unborn human beings from being sentenced to a “death penalty” & slaughtered, torn apart, & butchered in the womb.

For many years spiritually insane actions by Democratic politicians have resulted in the deaths of almost 4,000 human beings EVERY DAY!  Millions upon millions have died at their hands! These mass murderers must be removed from office. Do not participate in the brutal murders of the innocent unborn by voting for these inhuman hypocrites!

EVIDENCE FROM THE SACRED SCRIPTURES:

"Let her not be as one DEAD, and as an ABORTIVE that is cast forth from the MOTHER'S WOMB" (Numbers 12:12).

"The most High hath SANCTIFIED HIS OWN TABERNACLE" (Psalm 45:5). (God made holy the womb of Mary because He would live within her womb for nine months).

 "And they shed INNOCENT BLOOD; the blood of their SONS AND OF THEIR DAUGHTERS...And the land was POLLUTED WITH BLOOD...And the Lord was EXCEEDINGLY ANGRY with his people" (Psalms 105:38-40).

 "And now saith the Lord, that FORMED ME FROM THE WOMB to be his servant..." (Isaias 49:5).

"BEFORE thou camest forth out of the womb, I SANCITIFIED thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jeremias 1:5).

“Now the generation of CHRIST was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, (before they were married) she was found WITH CHILD OF THE HOLY GHOST...Behold a virgin shall be WITH CHILD and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:18,23)

 “Behold thou shalt CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath CONCEIVED A SON in her old age; and this is the SIXTH MONTH with her... And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of MARY, the INFANT LEAPED IN HER WOMB. And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the FRUIT OF THY WOMB. And whence is this to me, that the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid, for behold from henceforth all generations SHALL CALL ME BLESSED (Luke 1:31,36,41-43,48).

“And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David...To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was WITH CHILD (Luke 2:4-5)


STUDY: THE LIES OF THE CLINTONS - THE IRAQ WAR - OPINIONS VERSUS THE TRUTH

***Nov. '07 Bill Clinton's Claim of Opposing Iraq War From Outset Disputed - "A former senior aide to then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice disputed Bill Clinton's statement this week that he "opposed Iraq from the beginning," saying that the former president was privately briefed by top White House officials about war planning in 2003 and that he told them he supported the invasion."

Commentary: More lies from the spiritually shallow Clintons. See: Text Of Clinton's Feb. 17, 1998 Statement On Iraq - President Clinton's address to Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon staff - "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program" --- Bill Clinton

Background: On May 2, 2003 Pope Benedict XVI, as Cardinal Ratzinger, (Head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) stated: “He (John Paul II) did not impose this position (Iraq War not necessary) as doctrine of the Church but as the appeal of a conscience enlightened by faith” (Zenit News Agency).

Commentary: This statement, while truthful, does not reveal any evidence that these two men actually prayed about this issue. Since there is only ONE Holy Spirit, why are Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger's views on the Iraq War the same as radical Islamists, terrorists, morally corrupt left-wing liberal Democrats, biased people in the media, and many immoral Hollywood "stars"?

The answer is that they were simply "opinions" that were shown to be incorrect by the type of people that agreed with them. Many other good men & women (including veterans who suffered far more than Pope John Paul II did during World War II) did pray about this matter & strongly disagreed with their conclusions - and to this day continue to disagree with Pope Benedict XVI on this moral issue

However, unlike many U.S. Democrats, Pope John Paul II's thoughts on the Iraq War were not voiced in an arrogant, judgmental manner. He loved America, and praised President George W. Bush's moral leadership. See: President George W. Bush Presents Medal of Freedom to Pope John Paul II, June 4, 2004 - "I also continue to follow with great appreciation your commitment to the promotion of moral values in American society, particularly with regard to respect for life and the family....Mr. President, as you carry out your lofty mission of service to your nation and to world peace, I assure you of my prayers and cordially invoke upon you God's blessings of wisdom, strength and peace."

Pope John Paul II never praised President Clinton for his "moral values," because Clinton, along with the most Democrats, believe you have the "right to kill" someone through an abortion - a horrible crime against humanity that has resulted in the cruel deaths of millions & millions of innocent, defenseless, unborn human beings. Cardinal Ratzinger later confirmed: "There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion, even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia" (Italian magazine "L'espresso," June 2004 - published online in July).

Would Pope John Paul II have considered it a "Just War" if France, England, and the U.S. had disarmed Germany, preventing Hitler from invading Poland and other countries? The vast majority of Americans agreed with President George W. Bush's decision to disarm Iraq, and eliminate their capacity to wage war when it was thought by U.S. intellengence agencies that Iraq was developing biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons that could be used against America, and other Western nations. Aided by the Democratic Party, the House and Senate overwhelmingly approved the Iraq War Resolution.

If President Bush is a "liar," why aren’t double-tongued Democrats held accountable? Do they think faulty intelligence on Iraq only came through Bush? It originally came from Bill Clinton's administration. Hypocritical, immoral Democrats want it both ways - they first supported the Iraq War Resolution, but now want to place the blame for going to war on President Bush. President Bush’s only mistake was to trust incorrect intelligence reports. But others, including politicians from the U.S. Democratic Party made the same type of mistake. For example:

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 (Vice-President under Clinton - ran for President in the year 2000)

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is developing weapons of mass destruction." Senator Ted Kennedy (Massachusetts), Sept. 27, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Senator John F. Kerry (Massachusetts), Oct. 9, 2002.

“He (Saddam Hussein) has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al-Qaida members....Left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Senator Hillary Clinton (New York), Oct 10, 2002

As you can see from the above, many Democrats have very short memories when it comes to the judgments of leaders in their own political party.

Pope Recalls Italians Who Died in Iraq - "May the memory of these our brothers, and of others who have made the supreme sacrifice of their lives for the noble cause of peace, contribute to supporting the journey to hopeful rebirth of the dear Iraqi people." 
Commentary: The Pope is at last acknowledging the sacrifices made by ALL those who have given their lives for the cause of freedom in Iraq. Unfortunately, like his predecessor, he still refuses to single out the sacrifices American soldiers have made in Iraq. Being against the war is one thing, but throughout the war, to single out, and give your condolences to the dead of every country that fought in Iraq EXCEPT the American dead, is inexcusable. VB

Latest British opinion poll shows that despite violence only 26% of Iraqi adults preferred life under Saddam - "Carried out by UK research firm ORB, which has been tracking public opinion in Iraq since 2005, the poll shows that despite the horrendous personal security problems only 26% of the country preferred life under the previous regime of Saddam Hussein."
Commentary: It is true that as in all wars, mistakes are made and the innocent die, but we should not judge America based on those mistakes. This poll shows more evidence for those blind to the truth. Hopefully, over time, many who are against the sacrifices Americans have made to make Iraq free will come to realize that freedom is appreciated and welcomed by the vast majority of Iraqi people.

STUDY - "HILLARY UNCENSORED" VIDEO

"Hillary Uncensored" (click on "the trailer for the documentary" in paragraph three).

NOTE: If video is "not available," see below "YouTube" website. Description: "Hollywood filmmakers normally inclined to support candidates such as Sen. Hillary Clinton are working quietly behind the scenes to put the finishing touches on a documentary alleging the New York Democrat committed felonies to get elected and assisted her husband in defrauding a major donor." 
Commentary: I do not wish to make a final judgment on this matter until all of the evidence is brought to the attention of the courts and/or the public. However, since Senator Clinton is seeking the Democratic nomination for President, and the U.S. mainstream media (the vast majority of whom are Democrats), may censor or ignore this story, or not handle it in an unbiased manner, I feel it important that my visitors examine the very powerful evidence already made public. Caution: If they are still being advertised, I do not endorse or recommend viewing the "Related Videos" shown on the upper right of the "Trailer" website - they contain <
