Whatever your leanings politically, this is certainly an interesting
turn of events.
KERRY's HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER ENDORSES BUSH!
Lowell Sun Endorsement: George W. Bush for president
Sunday, October 03, 2004 - It's about national
security. That's the key issue on the minds of
Americans planning to vote in the Nov. 2 presidential
election. They must decide whether Republican President George
W. Bush or Sen. John F. Kerry, a Democrat, can provide the
leadership to safeguard America from foreign
terrorism. Americans aren't fools. They know that without
safe cities and towns, America will lose its greatness. Our cherished
freedoms and sacred liberties will be diminished, along with our
opportunities for economic prosperity and our basic pursuit of
happiness. Our children and their children will live vastly
different lives if we fail to guarantee a future free of
turmoil. Islamic extremists, both here and abroad, have one
purpose: To destroy America and halt the spread of d! emocracy and religious
tolerance around the globe. They'd like to be plotting in our
streets right now. They'd like to be sowing murder and mayhem with
suicide bombers and hostage-takings, and spreading fear in the heartland and
everywhere else. They'd like to be wearing us down and bringing our
nation to its knees. Since the devastating terror attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001, one American leader has maintained an unbending
resolve to protect our homeland and interest against Islamic savages and
those foreign governments appeasing them. That leader is
President Bush. While out-of-touch U.S. politicians and
world leaders have attacked President Bush's tactics, they can't question
his steely commitment to keep America safe. In the ashes of
ground zero, where nearly 3,000 innocent Americans perished, President Bush
vowed to find the perpetrators, in domestic cells and distant lands, and
bring them to justice. He said he will do all that is humanly possible
and necessary to make certain that terrorists never strike again on
U.S. soil. Can anyone deny that President Bush has not
delivered? America the terrorists' No. 1 target has recovered
from its tragic wounds and rebounded. It remains safe to this
day. What might a lesser leader have done, faced with the
daunting task of deciding America's course against withering, partisan
attacks from Democrats, media propagandists, disingenuous U.N.
officials and disloyal White House operatives selling their souls for profit
during a time of war? A lesser leader might have caved
in. President Bush has stood his ground. In this year's
election, the question isn't whether we are safer now than we were four
years ago. We already know the answer. Sure we are and that's
because of President Bush. The critical question is: Four ! years from
now, will America be safer than it is today? In our book,
Americans have to place their trust in President Bush. He's proven to
be as sturdy as a mighty oak when it comes to saying what he means, meaning
what he says and acting decisively. When it comes to the war on
terror, President Bush means to keep our military strong and our country
secure. John Kerry, on the other hand, has all the attributes
of the shape of water when it comes to telling us what he believes and what
he'd do for America. Like incoming and outgoing tides, Kerry is
content to go with the flow. In a dangerous world infested with
sharks, Kerry would be chum at America's expense. We in
Massachusetts know John Kerry. He got his first taste of politics 32
years ago in the cities and towns of Greater Lowell. In his 20
years in the U.S. Senate, Kerry, a Navy war hero, hasn't risen above
the rank of seaman f! or his uninspiring legislative record. He's been
inconsistent on major issues. First he's for the 1991 Persian Gulf
War, then he opposes it. First he's for the war in Iraq, then he's
against it. First he's for a strong U.S. defense, then he votes
against military weapons programs. First he's for the U.S.
Patriot Act, then he opposes it. Kerry's solution to stop
terrorism? He'd go to the U.N. and build a consensus. How
naive. France's Jacques Chirac, Germany's Gerhard Schroeder,
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and other Iraq oil-for-food scam
artists don't want America to succeed. They want us brought down to
their level. And more and more, Kerry sounds just like them. In
a recent campaign speech, Kerry said America was in the wrong war, in the
wrong place, at the wrong time. No doubt John Kerry sincerely
wants to serve his country, but we believe he's the wrong man! , in the
wrong place, at the wrong time. Americans should think
back three years ago to the smoldering ruins of the World Trade
Center. There among the mist lay the images and memories of fallen
firefighters, police, a Catholic chaplain and ordinary working citizens
moms, dads, sons, daughters. President Bush, through heartfelt
tears, told us never to forget the twisted carnage and the massacre of the
innocents. Yet some of us are forgetting. President Bush
told us the attacks must never happen again. Yet some of us are
wavering because of the brave sacrifice of soldiers that our nation's
security demands. Well, President Bush hasn't forgotten.
Nor has he lost the courage and conviction to do what is right for
America. We know if there is one thing the enemy fears above
all else, it is that George Bush's iron will is stronger than his iron
won't. The Sun proudly endorses the re! -election of President
George W. Bush.
"More than two
thousand years ago, at a time when the people in the British Isles and in
most parts of Western Europe were living the lives of savages, occupied in
fighting, hunting, and fishing, dwelling in rude huts, clad in skins,
ingnorant of everything that we call civilization, Rome was the centre of a
world in many ways as civilized as ours is
now..."
