1. I just an LTTE on this very subject. What a disgusting display of

contempt for our veterans.

The Republicans have shown their true colors. In an attmept to mock John Kerry's Veitnam service , many convention goers are sporting purple band aids. Not only is this
disrespectful to John Kerry, an man who VOLUNTEERED to serve in Veitnam, it's a slap in the face to the brave men and women currently serving in Iraq. There have been over 12,000 solidiers wounded in Iraq. Undoubtedly, many of them will be awarded the Purple Heart. I wonder if they will have bled enough for these Republican convention goers?

3. Absolutely right.
They forget a small detail....it's not the depth of the wound, but the fact that it was in a combat situation. Only fate decides who get's a scratch and who dies....and that's a matter of inches.

Republicans are so out of touch with this country, they are actually beginning to turn against the very institutions that they profess to honor. I guess that's what happens when you back selected AWOL pResidents and CEO's who trade with the enemy.

Why do Republicans hate America so much?

Subject Purple Heart Bandages are an insult to all wounded veterans

Having seen numerous photos of what, I assume, the GOP considers one of their funnier gimmicks, I am deeply offended. My father is a Vietnam veteran who was awarded two Purple Hearts. I have cousins and friends who have received Purple Hearts during the current Iraq conflict. I think it is a terrible insult to all American veterans to denigrate the recognition that they deserve. The GOP should be ashamed of themselves.

coming out of Abu Gharib.

I hope that that fat-faced fuck of a slimeball R becomes as much of a pariah as did that equally disgusting "it was all staged" POS from F9/11.

I swear, that pix has my blood boiling!!! If I ran into that POS right now, I'd knock her fucking dentures down her throat so fast and so far that she'd be eating her own ass, not W's.

What's next from these ghouls? A skit on soldiers returning from Iraq with DU problems or mental illnesses ("you so crazy, soldier boy!")?

They are GHOULS!!

7. Someone should slap her dentures out.
I'm not much of a hawk...But I have to commend anyone who served and faced combat as many of my friends did.
During the 60s I didn't even volunteer to pick up garbage along the road.

These "Swiftys" are the bane of American pride.

16. CNN.Com Link
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/30/gop.purple.hearts/index.html

Article also contains details of, among other things, Bob "Dysfunctional" Dole's slap at Kerry (you know, the one he backed off of immediately *flip-flop flip-flop*), a reference to the complete disaster known as the Swift Boat Vets For "Truth," and THIS precious little passage:

(snippity do)

Donna Cain, an Oregon delegate, wore a purple heart bandage on her wrist.

But Cain said she didn't see the bandage as a jab at U.S. troops who have been wounded in combat -- more than 6,000 of them so far in the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

"It is not in any way defaming of them, because I know people who have received Purple Hearts and I know that they're not boasting about their war record. They're proud of their serving their country. And, I mean, I just met a woman who lost her husband yesterday in Iraq. And there's a whole entirely different mood."

(/snippity do)

Now it's "boasting" about one's war record (as opposed, somehow, to being "proud of their serving their country").

Why didn't that damned commie-rat Kerry hide out in Texas, like our brave, patriotic super-warrior Li'l Dubbie did? He should be ashamed of himself!! (/sarcasm)

YOU CAN'T SPELL "COWARD" WITHOUT THE DUBYA.

17. She needs 5 more band-aids: 2 for her eyes, 2 for her ears, and...
one to cover her mouth. Republicans have made themselves blind, deaf and dumb on this issue of mocking those who've served honorably and have taken bullets for their country.

Their hypocrisy is loathsome.

It's sad to see how many vets will wallow in this shit and not knock the smirk off that pig's face. Let them disgrace themselves, but there are young people dying right now for the honor that they would toss away so cheaply.
This country has reached it's moral low point, having been led astray by cheap hustlers and pimps. Thank God there's no where to go but up when we rid our house of this scum.

He is considered to be the father of the death squads in El Salvador."10 IFA directs supporters to pray for Star Wars.

William Billings - CNP 1984, 1988; president, National Christian Action Coalition; editor, Alert; former executive director of Morton Blackwell's The Leadership Institute (below); named by Life magazine as one of ten most prominent leaders of the New Right.

Morton Blackwell - CNP 1982 Board of Governors, Executive Director CNP, 1991-present; Episcopalian; served on the White House Staff as Special Assistant to President Reagan for Public Liaison; former staff member, Senate Republican Policy Committee; former policy director, U.S. Senator Gordon J. Humphrey; overseer, 1980 Youth for Reagan effort; founder in 1979 and President, The Leadership Institute, 14 , a non-profit, non-partisan, educational organization, with 18 types of programs. "Conservative leaders, organizations and activists rely on the Institute for the preparation they require for success." "mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of conservative public policy leaders." LI recently provided political training to members of Maranatha, the shepherding cult. 15 It's Campus Leadership Program 16 is "designed to foster permanent, effective, conservative, student organizations on every college campus in America. Leadership Institute field staff have already created new organizations on 207 campuses in 37 states.

Received funding from the Coors Foundations.

Blackwell is also President, International Policy Forum, from the 1984 CNP Directory, "a foundation which promotes educational exchanges between conservatives in the US and pro-freedom leaders in other countries." From other articles however, the IPF is painted far different. IPF trains rightwing conservatives around the world in New Right political techniques. Paul Weyrich chairs IPF.

"Blackwell and Weyrich also lead International Policy Forum (IPF), which appears to be the international parallel to CNP. The two organizations held joint meetings in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1991 and in Romania in 1992. Blackwell has also trained rightist political forces in Latin America and Africa(19) through IPF, notably supporters of the Pinochet military dictatorship, Argentinean rightists, and supporters of Inkatha chief Buthelezi in South Africa. It was Buthelezi's group that later attempted to create civil war in South Africa to keep apartheid policies in place. Inkatha worked with pro-apartheid and neo-nazi groups to stop the elections eventually won by Nelson Mandela. A number of IPF projects, including the Inkatha training, were aided by U.S. government funding through the National Endowment for Democracy.(20)" 18

In the article Robespierre of the Right, describing the rise of the Religious Right,"... on the verge of realizing his right-wing utopia, Weyrich harvested what his friend Morton Blackwell termed "the greatest track of virgin timber on the political landscape": evangelicals. "Out there is what one might call a moral majority," he told Jerry Falwell in Lynchburg, Pennsylvania, in 1979. "That's it," Falwell exclaimed. "That's the name of the organization." Weyrich, who had converted from Roman Catholicism to the Eastern Orthodox church after Vatican II, did more than coin the name; with a handful of activists, he engineered the alliance between the Republican Party and the growing number of evangelicals angry over abortion rights and federal intrusion in parochial schools." 19

The Secret Story of a Cult Apologist 20. reveals a photograph of Paul Weyrich and Morton Blackwell with the American head of Tradition, Family & Property (TFP) 21., Plinio de Correa de Olivier's. TFP is the parent organization of CESNUR, the cult apology network for cults such as Scientology. Blackwell endorsed Olivier's book, Nobility & Analagous Traditional Elites, on the necessity of restoring traditional Nobility & Elites to rule the world. In the Forward Blackwell wrote: "One does not have to accept Papal infallibility to appreciate a case persuasively made, using theological, moral, and prudential arguments. This book will convince many readers, whatever their faith, that good elites are legitimate, desirable and, yes, necessary." See: A Toast To Scientology series.

Spouse – Helen R. Blackwell, newsletter editor for the Eagle Forum Education and Legal Defense Fund > See: Phyllis Schlafly. Term: 1999-2000; 2000-2004; writer for the Eagle Forum Educational and Legal Foundation since 1981.Virginia state chairman, Eagle Forum; founding Governor and board member, Voting Integrity Project 22 with sponsors 23 including the Leadership Institute and the Federalist Society ; former member, State Central Committee, Republican Party of Virginia; member of the Board of Visitors of James Madison University in Virginia; is past Regent of the Eleanor Wilson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a Deacon of the Columbia Baptist Church.

The Federalist Society 24. espouses the ideas that built the nation by suggesting it's mission includes, "limiting the federal government to its enumerated powers...Limits on National Power and Unconstitutional Conditions." Their main stated aim is to work among fellow scholars to advance changing the predominate liberal ideology in the judiciary, and to do this with members of academia and the judiciary, to work towards equalizing "The Federal Judiciary" with conservative and libertarian judges and promote "Self-Government," and state's rights. Many of their speakers and guests are members of elitist, old school establishment think tanks, with the ideologies of Anglo/American internationalism: CFR, Heritage, American Free Enterprise Institute, Council of National Policy, Brookings, and others mentioned throughout these articles. Among the above stated endeavors of this group, they are also now promoting things like "Church-State Cooperation in Welfare Reform." CNP's Eugene Meyer is executive director of the Federalist Society, with other leaders including Holland (Holly) Coors (CNP), Robert Bork, C. Boyden Gray, (CNP) Hon. Edwin Meese III , Scaife Foundation Trustee >Richard M. Scaife, (CNP) T. Kenneth Cribb, former Christian Coalition President Hon. Donald Paul Hodel (CNP), and Orrin Hatch, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Member, Council of Regents 28, St. Francis College, which was started by Franciscan monks. Founding Trustee of the bogus St. Francis of Assisi Foundation, a scam initiated by fugitive Martin Frankel.

"Thomas A. Bolan, a 75-year-old New York lawyer, is among the people insurance mogul Martin Frankel duped with regard to his phony St. Francis of Assisi Foundation. Frankel, using the alias David Rosse, convinced Mr. Bolan that he wanted to donate $55 million to the poor through the Catholic Church. Frankel hired Bolan to help him structure his St. Francis of Assisi Foundation; Frankel's desire was to let the insurance companies that he ultimately wished to acquire understand that the Foundation had the Church's approval. Says Bolan, "We didn't want it to be called a Vatican foundation. On the other hand, we didn't want to say there was no connection at all." Bolan decided that affiliating the St. Francis of Assisi Foundation with Monitor Ecclesiasticus, a foundation with an account at the Vatican Bank, was the best way to structure the St. Francis foundation. This past spring, Bolan was required to travel to Rome to clear up a mishap regarding information that directly labeled St. Francis a Vatican foundation. Bolan had other work-related ties to the Vatican. In the 80's, his law firm represented Michele Sindona, a Sicilian banker who swindled millions of dollars from investors by abusing his ties to the Vatican." 29

Reports reveal that Bolan was flown to Italy at Frankel's expense on March 9 for a meeting with the Vatican's secretariat - the Pope's equivalent of secretary of state - concerning the St. Francis Foundation's relationship with the Vatican-funded Monitor Ecclesiasticus Foundation. 30. Martin Frankel recently fled the country after exposure of an alleged embezzlement scheme of $335 million from insurance companies. 31.

Moon's Washington Times was one of the beneficiaries -- approximately $4.5 million was funneled to Moon's overseas enterprises. The South African government bought substantial interest in a chain of more than sixty newspapers in the U.S...fundamentalist Christians remain the last bastion of support in the U.S. for South African apartheid.

Enrique Rueda, of the Free Congress Foundation.(26) Bouchey organized conferences in Latin America for the Unification Church's political arm, CAUSA, and has been affiliated with other projects of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon as well.

Council for Inter-American Security, was an ardent supporter of the Nicaraguan contras with an apparent main goal, the defeat of communism in Latin America. It had close affiliations with the John Birch Society, the World Anti-Communist League, Alpha66/Brigade 2506 anti-Castro terrorist groups, The LaRouche Organization, the Unification Movement of South Korea (Moonies), various Christian fundamentalist and conservative Catholic groups. In 1980, it published a report known as the Santa Fe Document, which became a major part of the blue print and rationale for the Reagan Administration’s Latin American policy. In addition providing policy rational, the Council provided people to fill policy making positions of the Reagan Administration The Council worked to improve reputation of Salvadoran death squad leader Roberto D’Aubuisson and worked closely with the FBI on covert operations against "leftist" clergy and left-leaning organizations in the United States. It also worked closely with the Salvadoran police and military in tracking and monitoring Salvadorian refugees who had fled to the U.S. 39.

The Sante Fe Document recommended various Proposals including, Proposal 3, "U.S. foreign policy must begin to counter (not react against) liberation theology as it is utilized in Latin America by the ‘liberation theology’ clergy." "The role of the church in Latin America is vital to the concept of political freedom. Unfortunately, Marxist-Leninist forces have utilized the church as a political weapon against private property and productive capitalism by infiltrating the religious community with ideas that are less Christian than Communist." Proposal 4: "The United States must reject the mistaken assumption that one can easily locate and impose U.S. style democratic alternatives to authoritarian governments…. This belief has induced the Carter Administration to participate actively in the toppling of non-Communist authoritarians while remaining passive in the face of Communist expansion" Proposal 5: "Human rights, which is a culturally and politically relative concept that the present administration has used for intervention for political change in countries of this hemisphere, adversely affecting the peace, stability and security of the region, must be abandoned and replaced by a non-interventionist policy of political and ethical realism." 40.

Members of the Council included: Lewis Tambs (Sante Fe’s principle editor), appointed as ambassador to Columbia and then Costa Rica (which was the launch point for Contra attacks into Nicaragua); Robert Fontaine, appointed NSC advisor on Latin Amer. Affairs, Editor for Washington Times (Mooney paper); retired Lt. Gen. Gordon Sumner, appointed special assistant to the Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs; Retired US Army Gen. John Singlaub, member of OSS and CIA, Implemented the CIA’s Phoenix Operation, responsible for the murder of ~40,000 Vietnamese and imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of others, fired by Carter when he openly disagreed with Carter’s plan to withdraw troops from Korea; Anthony Bouscaren, Board member of American-Chilean Council, Board member of WACL, Worked for Wycliffe Drapers Pioneer Fund. 41

In l988, the Committee of Santa Fe released a new document, Santa Fe II, with recommendations for the next administration. Although it is somewhat less ideological and more pragmatic than the original "Santa Fe Document," this second publication unlikely to have the impact of the first simply due to the changing political tenor of the country and the absence from the White House of a truly ideological president. 42

Bouchey, the co-author of "The Strategy of Terror" (written with Stefan Possony), was a former member of the Young Americans for Freedom 43 employed by the American-Chilean Council, a front for the murderous Pinochet regime.<9> Possony, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute, long-time WACL operative and board member of Lyndon LaRouche's, Fusion Energy Foundation, was a founding member of the Council, as was Dr. Anthony Bouscaren, a right-wing operative who had worked for the racist Pioneer Fund....Another significant source of support for the Council and a host of other "conservative" organizations, was Rev. Moon's Unification Church. Bouchey helped organize two conferences for CAUSA, led by another retired general, E. David Woellner.<18> He was also a board member of the United States Global Strategy Council, identified by researchers, Louis Wolf and Frederick Clarkson as "another CAUSA operation."<19> 44
