Conservative Pawns Are Putting Party Before Principle

Taken-For-Granted Conservative Pawns
Are Putting Party Before Principle
Republicans now have a new agenda. It started with the label of the undefined "compassionate conservatism." Three years of complete Republican rule have given us a clear understanding of its meaning. Close inspection will show that this is not your father´s GOP. And it´s not conservative! Sustainable Development is the official policy of the Bush Administration. Christianity, the very foundation of Western culture, is being systematically eliminated from the United States. Where did the term "Homeland" come from? It seems the term has been rattling around the United Nations for some time. And, in fact, in 2000, at the UN´s Millennium Summit. The German translation of the phrase "Homeland Security" is "Schutz Staffel." The Nazis shortened it to "SS." A massive, intrusive cabinet-level agency with power beyond the wildest dreams of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson combined has just been established under Republican rule.

Pro-Life Leader Says Christians Are
Wasting Their Votes on Dems, GOP
A South Carolina pro-life activist claims there's virtually no difference between the two major political parties when it comes to protecting the unborn - and he is asking Christian voters to remember that in next fall's elections. Steve Lefemine, director of Columbia (S.C.) Christians for Life, bases his criticism of the Democratic and Republican parties on their support for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the world's largest abortion provider.

Almanac Alert!
FBI Urges Police to Watch for People Carrying Almanacs
WASHINGTON -- The FBI is warning police nationwide to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning. In a bulletin sent Christmas Eve to about 18,000 police organizations, the FBI said terrorists may use almanacs ``to assist with target selection and pre-operational planning.'' It urged officers to watch during searches, traffic stops and other investigations for anyone carrying almanacs, especially if the books are annotated in suspicious ways.

Pentagon: Anthrax Shots Suspended
ARLINGTON, Va. — In an about-face decision, the Pentagon has stopped vaccinating troops against anthrax, halting the program and the quandary of what to do with troops who refuse to get the anthrax vaccine. A ruling by a federal judge Monday surprised defense officials and led to some confusion as they tried to figure out how to handle the imposed temporary injunction.

U.S. Seeks Military Anthrax Clarification
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to reconsider the ban that has halted mandatory anthrax vaccinations for military personnel. The department's motion seeks to clarify whether the judge's injunction on the vaccinations applies only to the six plaintiffs who sued over the anthrax shots, according to a lawyer for the plaintiffs, Mark S. Zaid.

Liberal Clergy Group On Mission To Motivate Voters
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Most regular churchgoers want to re-elect President Bush. Most nonchurchgoers plan to vote for the Democrat presidential candidate. That's the finding of a recent poll by the Pew Center for the People and the Press - and it's a finding that Lexington's Albert Pennybacker hopes will change between now and November. Pennybacker, a former Lexington Theological Seminary professor, a Disciples of Christ minister and a lifelong Democrat, is chief executive officer of the Clergy Leadership Network, a new organization that hopes to mobilize thousands of moderate and liberal religious leaders before the Nov. 2 election. The group will focus on issues such as peace, justice, poverty, civil rights, health care and housing. It will steer clear of abortion and gay rights.
