Most Americans are enjoying a t= hree day weekend this Saturday, and I hope you are enjoying yours. I also = hope you'll find the time to share in our nation's observance of Memorial D= ay, when we pause to reflect on the cost of the free lives we live today. = I will be marking the day with military veterans gathering at the White Ho= use, who knew and remember the people who never came back from our nation's= wars. I will then go to Arlington National Cemetery, to lay a wreath at t= he Tomb of the Unknowns. It will be a high honor and I will be there on be= half of all the people of the United States. Later that day, I will join = with veterans in Arizona for a commemoration and national moment of remembr= ance. Most of us know war veterans; I had the privilege of being raised by= one. Usually, they are reticent about their experiences. It is often dif= ficult for them to think back on those names and faces, on the ones who nev= er lived to be called veterans.

This particular initiative should be of concern to all because, i= n the best scenario, it will only waste money. In the worst case, however, = it will be destructive to our nation. Although for President Bush this in= itiative is a crusade to reach minorities, welfare programs have already do= ne enough damage in black America. Government dependency has created an env= ironment in which black illegitimacy rates have soared seventy percent. Thi= s time the victim of government intervention will be the black church. Ho= wever, there is an even deeper concern facing us than this. Read the comp= lete article at http://gopusa.com/starparker [IMAGE] [IMAGE]JEFFORDS WA= S NEVER A REPUBLICAN By Doug Patton U.S. Sen. James Jeffords of the Peop= les' Republic of Vermont has officially changed his party label and gone ho= me pouting, as the catchy question is thrown around Washington, "Who lost J= effords?" Who cares? Good riddance. I know. Jeffords' announcement las= t week that he would switch his party affiliation from Republican to Indepe= ndent (read "Socialist"), has sent the Republican leadership into apoplecti= c fits -- and rightfully so. After all, we're talking about a gigantic shif= t in control of the United States Senate. The count will now be 50-49-1, th= ereby putting the Democrats back in the driver's seat for the first time in= six years. Control of the Foreign Relations Committee will go from Jesse H= elms to Joe Biden. The Judiciary Committee chairmanship will pass from Orri= n Hatch to Patrick Leahy (another Vermont lefty). And the thought of Ted Ke= nnedy chairing anything makes my skin crawl as much as the next patriotic A= merican.

By Dorothy Anne Seese L= et me begin this with a quote that is attributed to John Adams, the second = president of the United States: "Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and specu= late for liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establis= h the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. The only foundation= of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into= our People in a greater Measure, than they have it now, they may change th= eir Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting = liberty."Maybe that explains why this nation has more laws and less liberty= , more crime than virtue, more government and less respect for the nation. = We the American people are losing our liberties daily. Our constitution= al guarantees are being judicially overruled and legislated out of existenc= e, all for our own good (so they tell us) or in the alternative, it's "for = the children."

As early as February 15, 1941, Admiral Husband Kimmel, Commander of t= he Pacific Fleet, scoffed at suggestions that Japan would ever provoke a wa= r with the U.S. by executing a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Such a scen= ario was to the U.S. Command what Gordon Grange described in his, At Dawn W= e Slept, as "a mouse kicking a cat." According to Grange, U.S. Naval Comman= d at Pearl Harbor focused less on prevention of such an attack and, instead= , was blindly steadfast that, should Japan actually carry out such an unlik= ely invasion, the cat that was the United States would pounce mercilessly u= pon the mouse regarded as Imperial Japan.
