-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! These are Conservatives? By Chuck Baldwin February 16, 2001 I cut my teeth on the belief that principles were more important than politics. Many mentors taught me that we should be faithful to fundamental virtues, not political parties. All of that sure seems obsolete today. I even question whether some of my teachers still believe what they taught me. For instance, do conservatives still believe that we should put the interests of the United States above the interests of foreign nations? Do conservatives still believe in national sovereignty? Do conservatives still believe that the most fundamental right given by God is the right to life? Do conservatives still believe that the principles enumerated in the Declaration of Independence form the cornerstone of this republic? And do conservatives still believe that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land? If they do, they sure have a strange way of showing it. If this is a conservative administration, why is the Secretary of State saying that the U.S., Mexican border "is no longer a line that divides us, but a region that unites our nations"? Why is this administration preparing to legalize millions of illegal Mexican aliens? Whose interests is Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) looking out for when he declares his goal is to let virtually any and all people living south of the border to "come into America legally to work, have their rights protected and accumulate human and financial capital to take back to Mexico"? What about the rights of American workers? Don't they count for anything anymore? Next, I read where President Bush is calling supporters of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats thanking them for "all they've done for their country." What is this all about? We should now thank people for giving America the most corrupt administration in history? We should thank people for allowing our nation's military readiness to drop to its lowest level ever? We should thank people for Chinagate, Nannygate, Filegate, Zippergate, ad infinitum, ad naseum? What about doing something for the people who were victimized by the criminals within the Clinton White House? I'm talking about people like Linda Tripp, Billy Dale, Johnny Chung, Kathleen Willey, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, etc. Where is Bush's conservative compassion for these people? It doesn't exist. And speaking of compassion, what happened to all this support for faith-based institutions? The first major action of this new "conservative" Justice Department was the first-ever federal raid of a church in order to seize their buildings and assets for "back taxes." This was done in spite of the fact that churches are not required to pay taxes and that all the people involved paid their taxes. To this Joseph Farah rightly observes, "This should be a warning to all those Christians who so gleefully accepted President Bush's overtures of 'help' from the federal government last week. What we saw in Indianapolis this week is the future if you accept those 'handouts' and 'goodies.'" And while we are discussing the Justice Department, where is its investigation of Chinagate? Now, even Rep. Chris Cox (R-CA), author of the famous Cox Report detailing Communist Chinese espionage and subterfuge, says the new rules regulating the transfer of high tech equipment to China may be too severe. In other words, now that we have a Republican in the White House let's go back to business as usual and keep the international banks and businesses happy. Have I mentioned that Colin Powell is promising that the "days of dumping on the UN are over"? He is. Neither is Powell concerned about China's takeover of the Panama Canal. Isn't that wonderful? Now, we can look forward to more UN intervention in America's affairs. That means more globalism and less sovereignty. Bush has even announced (surprise) that our troops will stay in that UN-manufactured manure pile known as Bosnia and Kosovo. This "conservative" administration is obviously laying out the red carpet for the New World Order. If these are conservatives, I no longer want to be one. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
