The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

Huntwork / Constitution Club -- Poor Col. Killian died in 1984 but I believe he would be surprised at the stir he created some twenty years after his death. On the evening of Sept. 8th CBS’s 60 Minutes II dropped what they considered to be a (rather convenient) “bombshell” regarding President Bush’s service in the National Guard. Directly contradicting Defense Department records showing that in 1973 Col. Killian praised Mr. Bush's performance and approved his honorable discharge, four memos from Col. Killian impugning the service of Bush during those years were produced with much fanfare. According to CBS, they consulted a handwriting analyst and document expert who believed the material to be authentic.

That was one of the chants today on Capitol Hill. You probably didn't see much of it in the so-called "mainstream" media, but on September 12, 2004 in Washington a rally was held at the U.S. Capitol by a group calling themselves "Vietnam Vets for the Truth." They spoke of having healed from their many physical wounds, but contrasted those with the un-healed wounds that Sen. John Kerry's words had inflicted on them during the Vietnam War and re-opened now with his audacious bid for the Presidency. While many of them were still fighting to keep South Vietnam free from Communist tyranny, Kerry was calling them "war criminals" before Congress and meeting with the enemy in Paris. He's the only Presidential candidate with his picture in a place of honor in the enemy's museum. A sign at the rally called him a "Hanoi John Kerry, Viet Cong war Hero." More... http://www.conservativemonitor.com/opinion04/117.shtml The Great Obesity Scam Alan Caruba / Anxiety Center -- Is the day far off when the federal government will decide what you eat and how much? The assault on the personal freedoms of Americans continues unabated. First it was the decision whether to smoke or not and now it involves every piece of food you ingest. More... http://www.conservativemonitor.com/opinion04/120.shtml Drill America , Part I Luke Hodgens / Powerhouse Profits -- Worried about the performance of your 401K? Upset at the obscene prices of gasoline? Disappointed at the rate of jobs growth? You're not alone. Although the US economy has rebounded nicely from the tech crash in 2000 and subsequent recession, growth, especially this year, has not been as robust as hoped. While tax cuts have spurred consumer spending and new job hiring, one particular factor has applied brakes to the economy, Oil. More... http://www.conservativemonitor.com/finance03/29.shtml ----- 3.

Memorandum: Democratic Party Voters, by Michelle Anonymous This letter refers to the following article: http://www.conservativemonitor.com/society/2001012.shtml W.J. Rayment's completely untrue characterization of democratic party voters in the article regarding an election day holiday really angered me. I am incensed that a person could make such sweeping, false judgments of those from one party. As long as Rayment is making such generalizations, I may as well make a few more relevant generalizations of my own. I have never in my life found those who vote Republican more hard-working; in fact, it's often been the opposite! Most of those I knew backing up the Republican party are from inherited wealth, rarely lifting a finger if not required. These are the people admitted to Yale or Harvard simply because of Legacy, barely graduate, skip their military service, spend an unaccounted for amount of time involved in hard drugs and driving under the influence, and eventually go on to become President of the United States. Shame on you for your false depictions and scandalous lies. Your ignorance sickens me. Michelle Our Response: Dear Michelle, The article was a humorous poke in the eye at leftist machinations to skew the vote. When the left makes fun of the right, they call it satire. When the right makes fun of the left it is called "false depictions and scandalous lies" (your words). The fact is that the Republican party has been found to be supported, in the main, by the middle class. The Democrats are supported by the the two extremes. The Welfare Class and the Patrician Class. Unfortunately the stereo-type I presented is impregnated with a seed of truth. Cordially, WJR ----- 5. The work of F. R. Duplantier is a welcome break from serious political battles.
