John Kerry's Desperate Lies Written by Sam Wells Friday, October 22, 2004 Conspiracies do exist, of course, but I do not believe in most of the conspiracy stories that the left and the Democratic National Committee have been churning out about Bush or Cheney. These tales are mostly a bunch of Michael Moore-type of propaganda items targeting intellectually lazy and epistemologically promiscuous mentalities. But repeated enough, some people buy into them. John Kerry and his campaign are picking up and using several outright lies against Bush. Kerry is lying to young people that Bush is planning to bring back the military draft, which is absolutely untrue. But this scare tactic is working on a group that often does not know the truth of the issue and often is disengaged from political matters. So, I am sure that some will vote for Kerry for fear that the rumors about Bush bringing back the draft might be true. They fail to understand that America is immersed in a sea of propaganda and outright lies, often in the form of rumors of conspiracies and intrigues. Kerry is also lying to old people that Bush is planning to take away their Social Security, which is absolutely untrue. This is the same lie that Lyndon B. Johnson and the Dems used against Goldwater back in 1964. To his credit, Bush is at least timidly wanting to go in the direction of partially ''privatizing'' Social Security as recommended by the libertarian think tank CATO Institute. This gives people some control over their future rather than just having their earnings stolen out of their paychecks. But in any case, Bush would only give people the option, the choice, of having a small portion of their FICA taxes placed in such private investment accounts or staying with the current system in which they have no control whatsoever. No one would be forced to change. Although some Senate Democrats have proposed their own plan for investment accounts--with the government bureaucrats having complete control over which stocks or other vehicles that the funds in those accounts will be invested--Kerry himself has no plan for fixing Social Security. He obviously makes this stuff up as he goes along. Kerry is lying to Negroes about being disenfranchised in Florida. You may recall that it was Democrats in West Palm Beach and other Dem strongholds in Florida who tried to steal the election in 2000 by having people stuff several blank ballots in the voting machine at the same time and punching the Democrat Party slate--giving rise to ''hanging'' and ''pregnant'' chads (partially punched out ballots). If a single ballot is placed in a Vote-a-Matic machine, which is the proper and legal way to vote, it is virtually impossible to punch one's vote in such a way as to produce either a hanging or bulging chad; each punch is clean and complete, producing a perfectly punched-out hole. Knowing that they had stuffed the ballots in those heavily Democrat (and heavily Negro) areas, the Democrats demanded recounts in only those areas, hoping that if enough of the ballots with the hanging and pregnant chads were counted--instead of being discarded for being spoiled as they should have been--that their man Gore might win. At the same time, the Gore lawyers worked to disenfranchise native Floridian military personnel serving overseas from voting by absentee ballot on the assumption (probably correct) that most of them would be for Bush and not Gore. But despite these political games, their man never got enough votes in Florida to beat George Bush. Yet, by repeating the lie that the Republicans ''stole the election'' from Albert Gore by getting the Supreme Court to stop the game of constant ballot recounting over and over, and with their allies in the media not challenging this, many people who are less informed about current events, have bought into this falsehood. I believe that if it looks like Kerry is losing the election by Election Day, the DNC is already planning to claim the Republicans have somehow stolen it--charging their political opponents with what they are themselves guilty of. Already, in Ohio last week, at least one Democrat has been caught using crack cocaine to pay a man to fraudulently fill out a hundred blank voter registrations forms for the Democrats. It is true, as Dems love to point out, that Dubya did not go to Vietnam, while Kerry did. But it turns out that Kerry's Vietnam War exploits are not as heroic as he would have people believe and that he did not earn some of his medals and ribbons in an honorable way as did the others who served there. Bush may indeed have not served the full usual term in the Air National Guard, but it is absolutely untrue that he disobeyed orders, as some have claimed. Indeed it is clear that when he was away on leave to do political work, that his superiors knew about it and that it was OK with them -- contrary to the false report put out by CBS and Dan Rather. Because of their dominance in the media, the liberal-left establishment partisans have a huge advantage in influencing the way some people think and vote. This has been true for decades. Millions of people voted for Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 because they believed the scare tactics of the Democrats that GOP candidate Barry Goldwater would escalate the war in Vietnam, lead the world into a nuclear holocaust, and take away Social Security money from senior citizens. Of course, this was all nonsense. Kerry and his team of ruthless spinmeisters are using similar tactics today. Some scare tactics do work. As the election day approaches, you can expect to see more desperate measures from the Kerry campaign. The lies and conspiratorial propaganda have gotten so out of hand that anti-Bush and anti-Cheney violence is even taking place. Already Democrat union goons have broken into and vandalized several Bush-Cheney headquarters in some states, and shots have even been fired into some, with the clear intent of intimidating people from supporting Bush. Republicans are often timid appeasers of the leftist Democrats--and they often seem to have all the imagination of a petrified rock--but I don't see violence or outrageous lies coming from the GOP side. The conspiracy to watch out for is the conspiracy against the truth by the Democratic National Committee and the liberal establishment media. chronwatch.com
