The Truth Comes Out From The Sexual Assaulters (TSA)
Well well look what we have here:
"This year alone, the use of advanced imaging technology has led to the detection of over 130 prohibited, illegal or dangerous items," TSA spokesman Greg Soule told FoxNews.com. The TSA would not disclose exactly what those items were, but it said they included weapons like ceramic knives and various drugs -- including a syringe filled with heroin hidden in a passenger’s underwear.
This year is almost over.
Various drugs may be dangerous (to the user) and are illegal - but they are not a risk to airline safety.
Note how the TSA includes all sorts of things that have nothing to do with safety of the flight (e.g. drugs) into the mix.
The truth suddenly appears - the purpose of these devices is to use the excuse of an air flight to perform a search that would otherwise be blatantly illegal.
Also note that nobody's breaking down how much of what type of device or weapon has been found.
Perhaps that's because most - or perhaps all - of the "weapons" are things like nail files, knitting needles, nail clippers and other similar items.
Indeed, here's the Amazon link to all the hyper-dangerous terror-loving ceramic kitchen knives!
While it's certainly possible that someone intended to do something nefarious with such a thing, it's far more likely that said ceramic knife was not intended to do anything other than cut tomatoes or otherwise perform a common and quite-legal function - and was accidentally brought into the security area. Of course the TSA doesn't provide details that might inconveniently point to the truth of what was found, where, and the intent of the bearer (like, for instance, if one of the alleged "offenders" was a professional chef flying home from a trade show!) nor do they disclose that nearly all ceramic knife manufacturers intentionally add enough metal to the knife somewhere (frequently in the handle) to insure that it is detectable with a common metal detector - especially one set to a highly-sensitive level, as those in airports are!
Speaking of intentional government lies about airport detectability of weapons - does anyone remember the outrageous lies that were told about Glocks when they were first introduced in the 1980s? "Plastic and undetectable guns" were the mantra then - we were told that they could go through an airline scanner undetected and that led an attempt to ban them outright. That was an intentional lie. There always was more than enough metal - including the chamber and barrel assembly, weighing nearly a pound - not to mention the cartridges, magazine and bullets - to set off any common metal detector. Was that lie ever retracted? Oh hell no. Maybe you don't remember this little bit of intentional government fabrication, but I sure do. Today, of course, a significant percentage of police officers carry Glocks as their duty weapons!
Intelligence tells us that our enemy still seeks to target airplanes, and as we saw illustrated last Christmas Day, that threat can manifest itself in an improvised explosive device that has no metal in it."
Uh huh. You mean the man our government allowed to board an international flight to The United States without proper documentation - a Passport - and who was on a terrorist watch-list, never mind that he had originated his travel in a known terrorist hotbed?
That guy?
The government people involved in that little fiasco should be in prison for criminal negligence - assuming it really was negligence and not something worse. (If it was something worse a Treason charge - literally, with the death penalty - is called for.) After all, what sort of legitimate purpose would a government employee have in overriding procedures for a guy coming out of a known terrorist hotbed, bound for the US, who doesn't happen to have the passport he had to have to exit another nation on a different flight a few hours earlier?
Napolitano and Pistole must think The American People are just plain stupid.
Well, maybe most Americans are.
But I'm not, and I recognize horsecrap when I see and smell it - especially when the government's "airline safety" people have a documented record of lying repeatedly to the public about various weapons and their detectability by common airline screening devices - going all the way back to the 1980s.
"Passengers need to readjust their expectations on what they’re going to find at the airport," IATA spokesman Steve Lott told FoxNews.com.
No, Airlines need to adjust their expectations.
They either stop this crap by refusing to cooperate with it, or we won't fly.
Period.
End of discussion, full stop.
Let's be frank folks. The airports - even little airports - have had "swab" machines for years. Even my little local airport has one and my laptop has been swabbed in the past. The TSA guy (and before him the private security folks) simply run the swab over a surface (say, your pant leg or a laptop) and then put it in a machine. The machine is essentially a computerized gas chromatograph, and in a few seconds (really) it checks for common explosive residues and materials.
If you stuff a bomb in your pants and they swab you, it's going to pick it up.
IF they swab you.
Now if the bomber instead shoves the bomb up his ass, and then bathes well enough to get any residue off his hands and other body parts, it might not pick it up (especially if he then puts on clean clothes.)
So long as he doesn't fart, of course.
But then again, the so-called "full-body" scanners and an "aggressive" crotch-grope isn't going to find that bomb up the suicidal maniac's ass either.
Oh, there is one other thing about these "full body" scanners: The former chief of DHS - Chertoff - is a consultant for the company that makes them.
How much money is involved here?
One billion dollars for "advanced" equipment, including these scanners, ordered directly by our fabulous President, who has never seen a word of the Constitution he's unwilling to wipe his ass with.
So let's see what we got here:
The newfangled scanners are an effective virtual strip-search.
The "grope" alternative is an effective sexual assault and would be illegal if performed by any random person. In fact, the only time it's legal for an actual police officer to conduct a search of this sort is when you have been lawfully placed under arrest. This is not "stop and frisk" - it is known in the vernacular as a "custody search" and as the name implies, you have to be in custody before it's permitted under long-standing law.
The TSA won't disclose of the 130 items found "this year" how many were weapons, what sort of weapons (or explosives), whether any were actually dangerous devices intended to be used to terrorize and exactly what they were so we can determine if a metal detector would have picked them up. One is therefore free to believe (and it is in fact probably true) that all, or essentially all, were things like nail files, knitting needles and drugs - none of which have anything to do with airline safety, and all of them - or effectively all, sans the drugs (which aren't dangerous to the plane) would have been caught by a metal detector.
Janet Napolitano is allegedly "considering" a request by CAIR to allow Muslim women to "self-examine." Does the government really think we're this stupid? Can you identify exactly how many airline terrorist incidents related to the United States have been undertaken by other than Muslims? I think that count over the last decade is zero, right? So we're considering allowing one half of the Muslim population to "self-screen" while the rest of us get sexually assaulted? How do you spell "****" and "you" in whatever language Napolitano best understands?
If the airline industry (or the government) thinks that people are going to put up with this crap, they're very wrong. A Reuters poll revealed that ninety-six percent (96% for those who can't read words, like Napolitano) affirmed they would make alternative travel plans rather than submit.
You want us to put up with this eh?
Here's my answer: Go to Hell.
If the airlines would not like to all go bankrupt and the airports would not like to see their tax revenue go straight down the toilet, they better put a stop to this crap - right now.

“Sex Crimes Against Humanity”
There aren't enough words to say how much the evil in this world Disgusts me. Your days are numbered, soon to be Gone. Praise be to Yahweh/Jesus!
888 days from July 17 2010 to Dec 21 2012. You evil mongrels are Toast!
“Sex Crimes Against Humanity”
WASHINGTON (July 13, 2010)—They are the voiceless victims whose horror in many ways mirrors what children in concentration-camp “experiments” suffered during the Holocaust. But the mastermind behind such horrid crimes of sexual abuse and rape of children—some as young as 6-months-old—touts a legacy that’s lauded, lionized, bankrolled and celebrated in literature, science, industry and the arts.
Still, the perpetrator escapes even the scorn heaped on pedophile priests—though his work provides direct cover to the abusers.
So charges a shocking new book by an author who’s never allowed her critics’ tactics of ridicule and blackballing to silence her from exposing the darkest secrets of Alfred Kinsey’s sexual “research.” Dr. Judith Reisman’s relentless commitment to revealing Kinsey’s documented—yet studiously whitewashed—methodology will culminate July 20 with the publishing of WND Books’ latest, Sexual Sabotage: How One Mad Scientist Unleashed a Plague of Corruption and Contagion on America.
Kinsey’s career, asserts Reisman, was founded on such unfathomable crimes against innocent children that its true nature must no longer remain unknown to the masses. Reisman aims straight for Kinsey’s watershed work—Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. Released 52 years ago, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male attained academic acclaim and sparked mass shock and intrigue, selling 200,000 copies in its first two months of release.
“Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female provide abundant evidence of child sexual torture by Kinsey’s ‘researchers,’ who engaged in brutal, sexual experiments on children,” Reisman reports. “’Kinsey says ‘the only ‘abnormal’ sex is no sex; that the ‘human animal’ needs orgasms; and that the earlier boys and girls have orgasms, the better for them.’”
While many pinpoint the nation’s seismic morality shift to the 1960s, Reisman presents different origins. Youthful rebellion, the rise of the counterculture and the Sexual Revolution remain mere symptoms of the cynicism that sprouted from the Kinsey Reports. The “Greatest Generation,” Reisman maintains, absorbed a slander so damaging no jury could calculate the costs, as it inspired Boomers to see their parents as perverted hypocrites.
“The World War II generation was trained to honor God, country, and family—and was thus trained to build a secure life for their children and, indeed, for us all,” she writes. “Kinsey … reported that nearly all American men—our ‘better angels’—were actually sex offenders, though he also claimed that no women or children were harmed by rape or incest.”
With attention lavished on Kinsey’s salacious charges of seldom-discussed sexual behavior as the closeted norm, few paused to ponder just how Kinsey drew such definitive conclusions about the sexual behaviors of children. Few except Reisman.
“Sexual Behavior in the Human Male reports data “on 214 male children,” Sexual Sabotage reports, “the youngest only one year old. .. Kinsey asserted, ‘Of the 214 cases . . . all but 14 were subsequently observed in orgasm.’ Observed?! Who ‘subsequently observed’ (defined as ‘occurring or coming later or after’) these infants and boys being—yes—sexually tortured, timed, and recorded? Who, of Kinsey’s team, did this under his direction? The youngest boy tested to ‘climax’ is ‘2 mon.’ old.”
The pervasiveness of Kinsey’s research is pandemic, Reisman states, and even informs key advisors to the Catholic Church on matters of child sex abuse. One such advisor, Fred Berlin, MD, co-founded the celebrated Johns Hopkins Sexual Disorders Clinic, with his mentor, John Money, PhD.
Money, “a dedicated Kinsey disciple” who mentored an early Kinsey Institute director, reports Sexual Sabotage, “said that their clinic was designed to offer ‘leeway to judges’ to free convicted child molesters.”
Tellingly, the Rev. Michael Peterson, founder of St. Luke’s Institute, warned clergy that they “should avoid potential abuse suits by following the well-qualified Money and Berlin.”

30 Pro-Rape Senators (All GOP)
By Daniel Tencer
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 -- 9:48 pm
GOP votes against measure to help victims of rape at govt. contractors
Political commentators are accusing Senate Republicans of hypocrisy -- and even outright support of rape -- after thirty of them voted against a measure to de-fund military contractors who prevent rape victims from seeking justice.
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) introduced an amendment to a defense appropriations bill that would prevent the federal government from funding contractors whose employee contracts prevent workers from pursuing allegations of rape against co-workers.
The measure passed the Senate by a vote of 68 to 30, with all 30 'no' votes being cast by Republicans. Notably, 10 Senate Republicans voted for the measure, including all four female Republican senators.
Franken was inspired to push the amendment by the story of Jamie Leigh Jones, who was an employee of KBR -- at the time a subsidiary of Halliburton -- working in Baghdad's Green Zone when she was allegedly gang-raped by other KBR workers.
In a harrowing expose, ABC News recounted how Jones was locked in a shipping container, denied access to communication with the outside world, and told she would lose her job if she left Iraq or sought medical attention.
As RAW STORY reported last month, Jones recently won the right to sue KBR over her ordeal.
Until 2007, KBR was a subsidiary of Halliburton, the company run by Dick Cheney until he resigned as CEO to become vice-president of the United States. It was that connection to partisan politics that evidently led a majority of Senate Republicans to vote against the measure.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, called Franken's measure "a political attack directed at Halliburton."
Indeed, Franken's amendment names Halliburton and KBR directly, but also states the regulation applies to "any other contracting party."
But that has not stopped political commentators from attacking Senate Republicans for what they see as a vote for rape, and against justice for women.
At his DailyKos blog, Markos Moulitsas writes:
This is interesting. According to Republicans, a fake pimp and ho, reported to the police, was apparently so beyond the pale that they've worked to strip ACORN of all federal funding. But denying employees actual redress from gang rapes is no big deal?
Will the GOP soon introduce a new Constitution Amendment that reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting the ability of corporations to gang rape their employees"? Is support for corporate gang rape already in the GOP platform, or does it need to be added at their next meeting? Is there a huge corporate gang rape lobby that is funneling millions into GOP pockets, or did they vote this way out of personal conviction?
Laura Clawson, also writing at DailyKos, states:
To summarize the Republican position: As women, we are not "average Americans," and gang rape is not a "serious" issue. As women, no matter how powerful we become on our own merits, the Republican establishment will still be hoping for a man to come along and put us in our place.
You don't have to go very far beneath the Republican surface claims of equality-but-not-really to get to the rock-bottom sense that women just don't count, that our rights and our wellbeing are always subordinate to whatever interest of men they might conflict with. When it comes to it, even the (themselves sexist) notions of chivalry and protecting women come behind protecting the right of corporations to imprison their female employees to shield their male employees from rape charges and still get government contracts.
For her part, Jamie Leigh Jones seems pleased that Franken's amendment passed, regardless of who voted against it.
"It means that every tear shed to go public and repeat my story over and over again to make a difference for other women was worth it," she said on Tuesday outside the Senate chamber, after hugging Sen. Franken and telling him: "Way to go."

Senator Al Franken’s Bill: Justice for Rape Victims; 30 Repubs Vote Against
By: acquarius74
Thursday October 8, 2009
In my opinion, a new low has been reached by the 30 Republican senators who voted against Senator Al Franken's Bill to deny funding to Government contractors who deny their employees' rights to seek justice in court when they have been raped by co-workers. "A new low" is too mild; my thoughts are too strong to print. Below is an excerpt from rawstory and the names of the 30 Repubs who voted against:

Well, you can't say Republicans are against everything. They're pro-gun violence, pro-war, pro-torture, pro-sickness, pro-domestic spying, pro-murder, pro-..executions, pro-..corruption, pro-racism, pro-bigotry, pro-child abuse, pro-theocracy, pro-ignorance, pro-..corporatism, and now they're officially pro-rape

Senator Al Franken's first legislative victory, which was to deny private contractors from using private arbitration in cases of rape and sexual abuse of their employees. However, 30 GOP Senators voted against the amendment! In other words, they would rather deny victims of rape their day in court then get in the way of private defense contractors from making money!

Senator Al Franken’s Bill: Justice for Rape Victims; 30 Repubs Vote Against
By: acquarius74
Thursday October 8, 2009
In my opinion, a new low has been reached by the 30 Republican senators who voted against Senator Al Franken's Bill to deny funding to Government contractors who deny their employees' rights to seek justice in court when they have been raped by co-workers. "A new low" is too mild; my thoughts are too strong to print. Below is an excerpt from rawstory and the names of the 30 Repubs who voted against:
Political commentators are accusing Senate Republicans of hypocrisy -- and even outright support of rape -- after thirty of them voted against a measure to de-fund military contractors who prevent rape victims from seeking justice.Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) introduced an amendment to a defense appropriations bill that would prevent the federal government from funding contractors whose employee contracts prevent workers from pursuing allegations of rape against co-workers.The measure passed the Senate by a vote of 68 to 30, with all 30 'no' votes being cast by Republicans. Notably, 10 Senate Republicans voted for the measure, including all four female Republican senators...Franken was inspired to push the amendment by the story of Jamie Leigh Jones, who was an employee of KBR -- at the time a subsidiary of Halliburton -- working in Baghdad's Green Zone when she was allegedly gang-raped by other KBR workers.

Well, you can't say Republicans are against everything. They're pro-gun violence, pro-war, pro-torture, pro-sickness, pro-domestic spying, pro-murder, pro-..executions, pro-..corruption, pro-racism, pro-bigotry, pro-child abuse, pro-theocracy, pro-ignorance, pro-..corporatism, and now they're officially pro-rape

Subject: 30 Pro-Rape Senators (All GOP) please repost
Senator Al Franken's first legislative victory, which was to deny private contractors from using private arbitration in cases of rape and sexual abuse of their employees. However, 30 GOP Senators voted against the amendment! In other words, they would rather deny victims of rape their day in court then get in the way of private defense contractors from making money!

I posted a video about this early this morning... above is the list of those who should not be able to get away from this vote. They prefer corporate rights over the rights of the young women raped by contractors in Iraq... or anywhere.
UNBELIEVABLE.

Sex Offenders and Criminals Run Our Country --- WOW!
SATAN'S HOARDES !!!!
April 2, 2009
[NOTE: Fourwinds readers have questioned the spelling of the word "hoardes" in the title of this article. Is it proper to use "hoard", meaning to store as in hoarding food or to use "horde", meaning a large group? This is the response from Roseanne Barr, who created the title to this article.
"Tell them I spell hoardes the Old English way, on purpose, as it adds to the Harry Potter factor of the story I am writng about vampires, who pas as human!" ---PHB ]
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.
Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe?
Expedience asks the question: Is it politic?
Vanity asks the question: Is it popular?
But conscience asks the question: Is it right?
And a time comes when man must take a stand that’s neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it’s right.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

LOOK AT THESE CONSERVATIVE SCUMBAGS:

He was arrested for masturbating in front of an undercover male police officer, and trying to fondle him. He plead no contest to a similar charge in 1996.
Republican fund-raiser and president of the Conservative Legal Affairs Council, Richard Delgaudio, pleaded guilty in Baltimore, Maryland to production of child pornography. During the 1990's Delgaudio called Clinton "a lawbreaker and a terrible example to our nation's young people." Delgaudio pleaded guilty to committing a lewd sexual act with a child on film.
Republican California Assemblyman Steve Samuelian who ran as a "conservative's conservative," has been caught a second time (first time in 1998) by police attempting to solicit sex from prostitutes in Fresno , California .. He is married.
Conservative Christian leader Randall Terry, most notable for his leadership of the radical anti-abortion organization "Operation Rescue," and the traditional marriage Christian group "Loyal Opposition," has left his wife Cindy, after allegations of extramarital affairs with several women,both married and unmarried. Terry's own pastor at Landmark Church in Binghamton, NY, Daniel J. Little, said he is "shocked and bewildered" at Terry's actions.
Henry Hyde (R-Illinois): had a five-year affair with a married woman with kids,eventually breaking up her family. This from Mr. Christian Coalition himself.
Bob Barr (R-Georgia): the principal sponsor of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, has been married three times. And at a party in 1992, Barr actually licked whipped cream off the breasts of two women? Now that's family values.
Former Republican Speaker of the House Bob Livingston (R-Louisiana): admitted to having several adulterous affairs. Had to resign because of it.
Newt Gingrich (R-Georgia): divorced wife as she recovered from cancer surgery.
Also allegedly had oral sex in the driveway of his wife's home with a woman not
his wife.
Dick Armey (R-Texas): as an economics professor before entering Congress, was accused of sexually harassing female students, according to the Dallas Observer.
John Peterson (R-Pennsylvania): has been accused of sexual harassment and hostile-work-environment claims by six women.
Dan Burton (R-Indiana):had illegitimate child. Never kept in contact with child and refused to give child his last name.
Helen Chenoweth (R-Idaho): one of first to condemn Clinton , admitted to having an extramarital affair herself.
J.C. Watts (R-Oklahoma): has said "Character is simply doing right when no one is looking." Watts has tried to cover up his out-of-wedlock child.
John Schmitz ( R-Orange County , CA ), former congressman (1970's) and one-time presidential candidate (one of the original family values conservatives): had his career ended when it was discovered that he had two out-of-wedlock children. His daughter Mary Kay LeTourneau, made national headlines when as a school teacher, she was arrested twice for having sex with an underage boy (13 years old), of which she had two children by. She is currently in jail.
Conservative pastor Terry Smith of Canyon Creek Baptist Church in Texas, was issued a Notice to Appear in court for stealing condoms from the local Skaggs Alpha Beta store in Plano, Texas. Two co-workers at the church, Mary Miller and Debbie Coleman, said Smith made unwanted sexual advances to them, possibly explaining his need for condoms.
Former Conservative Christian Television Evangelist Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were relinquished of their pastoral positions after Bakker was found guilty and jailed for financial improprieties. He was also known for bizarre sexual practices including alleged "group sex" activities with several male staffers and a female staffer.
Former Conservative Christian Television Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, had to resign from his TV ministry after being caught masturbating with a prostitute.
Ken Calvert (R-California): said this of Clinton : "We can't forgive what occurred between the President and Lewinsky." Calvert, a Christian Coalition ally, was caught by police in 1993 receiving oral sex from a prostitute. His ex-wife also sued him for failure to pay alimony.
Embattled former republican Rep. John Sweeney pleaded guilty to driving drunk under a deal that will cost him a $1,000 fine but spare him any time in jail. When the married Sweeney was pulled over, a 23 -year-old female passenger was sitting on his lap authorities said. Sweeney is a former STOP-DWI coordinator in Rensselaer County. This is the same pillar of society that grabbed his wife "by the neck and pushed her around the house.
Passionately anti-gay Alabama Attorney General Troy King was caught (by his wife) in a homosexual relationship.
AND THE BEAT GOES ON...LA DI DA DI DAAAA....
* Robert Bauman (Republican Congressman and pedophile),
* Dan Crane (Republican Congressman who had sex with a female Congressional page),
* Richard Dasen (Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups who was also caught pimping out 15 year old girls),
* Brian Doyle (Deputy Press Secretary of Homeland Security who propositioned a 14 year old girl over the Internet)
* Nicholas Elizondo (director of the Young Republican Federation, who molested his 6-year Larry Dale Floyd (Republican Constable in Denton County, TX, was arrested July 2005 for allegedly crossing state lines to have sex with an 8-year old child)
* Mark Foley (Republican Congressman who resigned from Congress, September 29, 2006, regarding controversial emails he wrote to a former male page. In addition, it was discovered that Foley had sent a series of sexually explicit instant messages to numerous pages. In one message, he wrote "Do I make you a little horny?" In another, he stated "You in your boxers, too?"...Well, strip down and get naked.
* JOHN FUND of the Wall Street Journal, was a prominent anti-abortion columnist and GOP fund raiser. He lost his position after it was revealed that he impregnated the daughter of an old girlfriend and then encouraged her to abort his child. It's obvious that Fund's biggest Fundraiser was pedophilia.
* Richard Gardner (Republican candidate for Nevada Assembly District 34, who admitted to molesting his two daughters.)
* Philip Giordano (former Mayor of Waterbury, CT, is serving a 37-year sentence in federal prison for sexually abusing 8- and 10-year old girls. This case is the worst I have ever seen," said U.S. District Judge Alan Nevas in passing sentence. "Your conduct is the worst I have ever seen. I've seen drug dealers, murderers. What you did is indescribable.")
* Mark Grethen (who was to be honored in Washington D.C. as Republican of the Year, an honor bestowed upon him by Representative Tom Davis of Virginia. The problem was that Grethen couldn't make it to the awards ceremony since he was convicted of six counts of sex crimes involving children. He will be in the Deep Meadow Correctional Facility until September 25, 2024.)
* Mark Harris (West Bend, WI Alderman, was described as a "good military man" and "churchgoer". He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for repeated sexual assault of a young girl. The molestation began when she was 11 years old, and continued over a two year period.)
* Harold Scott Heldreth (Republican anti-abortion activist, gained fame when he was arrested for attempting to cross police lines to take water to Terri Shiavo. According to the right-to-lifers, he is a real hero for the un-born. However, Heldreth doesn't fare so well for the living; He is a convicted child rapist in Florida.)
* Mike Hintz (First Assembly of God youth pastor, who was commended by Bush during the 2004 presidential campaign as "a real champion for decency." He signed an ad that called for criminally prosecuting businesses that sell porn. Among his other achievements, Hintz urged teens to avoid pursuing romantic relationships in favor of getting closer to God. Hintz surrendered to police after admitting to a sexual affair with a female juvenile whom (you guessed it) he'd been counseling for emotional problems.)
* Earl Kimmerling (who gained statewide attention in Indiana by fighting a gay couple's attempts to adopt an 8-year-old girl, who at the time was under Earl's foster care. The Kimmerlings and their pastor, Brad Brizendine of Center of Faith Church, launched a campaign opposing homosexual adoption. Republican representatives also took up the issue by proposing a bill to ban gay adoptions in Indiana. More than likely, the real reason Kimmerling waged his custodial campaign was that he wanted the girl all to himself. He was charged with molesting her and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.)
* Lawrence King, Jr. (Republican activist who embezzled funds from the credit union which he managed. The money was said to have been funneled to help organize child sex parties at the White House during the 1980's See Paul Robert Balach, Charles K. Dutcher & Craig J. Spence.)
* Jon Matthews (neo-conservative talk show host, wjp was sentenced to seven years' probation for exposing his genitals to an 11-year-old girl. On his show he often voiced the view that those who crossed the law deserved little mercy and harsh punishment. Well, he seems to have received an abundance of mercy and zero harsh punishment from the Liberal court...but he probably didn't complain.)
* Jeffrey Patti (Republican Committee Chairman, who was arrested for distributing a video clip of a 5-year-old girl being raped.)
* Beverly Russell (Republican activist and Christian Coalition leader, admitted to an incestuous relationship with his stepdaughter, Susan Smith, whose name was later prominent in the newspaper headlines for having drowning her two children.)
* Fred Smeltzer (Republican City Councilman (Lancaster, PA), who pleaded no contest to raping a 15 year-old girl at a Delaware campground, and served 6 months in prison. In a court affidavit, an acquaintance of Smeltzer's claimed that he had raped his daughter at this campground. Due to laws which shield children's identities in matters such as these, it was not revealed (but evident) that she was the actual victim of this crime. Smeltzer is now a registered sex offender.)
* Craig J. Spence (Republican lobbyist, was part of a major White House scandal during the 1980's. Children from orphanages in Nebraska were transported around the United States by top Republican officials in order to engage in child sex orgies with America's ruling elite. Spence took friends and male prostitutes on late-night sexcursions to the White House. Spence also faced cocaine and gun possession charges. Unfortunately, this Republican really fell on his sword. He was found dead in a Boston hotel room.)
* David Swartz (Republican County Commissioner in Richmond County, OH), who pleaded guilty to molesting two girls, which began at ages 6-7. Swartz admitted in court to having sex with the first girl. It was learned that the molestation took place for a decade. The 2nd occurred over a period of 5 years. He was sentenced to 8 years in prison.)
* Robin Vanderwall (GOP strategist, Citadel Military College graduate, and 3rd year law student at Pat Robertson's Regent University. He was also director of Faith & Family Alliance. Vanderwall helped funnel money from Jack Abromoff to Ralph Reed. In 2002, he was convicted in Virginia on five counts of soliciting sex with (what he thought were) children over the Internet. Like Brian J. Doyle, Vanderwall had played into a police sting operation. The Internet seems to be a favorite tool of GOP pedophiles.)
* Jim West (Republican Mayor of Spokane, WA who supported a bill which, if it hadn't failed, would have barred gays and lesbians from working in schools, day-care centers and some state agencies. He also voted to bar the state from distributing pamphlets telling people how to protect themselves from AIDS. To prove his worthiness with other family values Republicans, he proposed legislation that would criminalize "any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person" among unmarried teenagers. As it turns out, the reason West was so viscious was that he was deep in the closet: West had a sexual affair with an 18 year old boy, and he propositioned what he thought was a high school senior over the Internet, offering an internship at City Hall for services rendered.
The boy, we learn, was actually a computer consultant, hired by a newspaper to verify the mayor's identity and presence on Gay.com.
In other words, Jim was caught with his virtual pants down.)
* Keith Westmorland (Republican State Representative from Florida, who was charged with seven felony counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition to girls under the age of 16. Shortly thereafter, he committed suicide. Ironically, Rep. Westmoreland had a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.)
* Stephen White (better known to Penn students as Brother Stephen, was vocal in his condemnation of gays and sexual promiscuity in his campus preaching. He was also known for his abrasive methods and harassment of students as they passed him on campus. You can add Brother Stephen to the list of GOP closet pedophiles. He was sentenced to jail after soliciting a 14-year-old boy, offering $20 to perform oral sex on him.)

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.
Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe?
Expedience asks the question: Is it politic?
Vanity asks the question: Is it popular?
But conscience asks the question: Is it right?
And a time comes when man must take a stand that’s neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it’s right.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

LOOK AT THESE CONSERVATIVE SCUMBAGS:

He was arrested for masturbating in front of an undercover male police officer, and trying to fondle him. He plead no contest to a similar charge in 1996.
Republican fund-raiser and president of the Conservative Legal Affairs Council, Richard Delgaudio, pleaded guilty in Baltimore, Maryland to production of child pornography.

Republican California Assemblyman Steve Samuelian who ran as a "conservative's conservative," has been caught a second time (first time in 1998) by police attempting to solicit sex from prostitutes in Fresno , California .. He is married.
Conservative Christian leader Randall Terry, most notable for his leadership of the radical anti-abortion organization "Operation Rescue," and the traditional marriage Christian group "Loyal Opposition," has left his wife Cindy, after allegations of extramarital affairs with several women,both married and unmarried. Terry's own pastor at Landmark Church in Binghamton, NY, Daniel J. Little, said he is "shocked and bewildered" at Terry's actions.
Henry Hyde (R-Illinois): had a five-year affair with a married woman with kids,eventually breaking up her family. This from Mr. Christian Coalition himself.
Bob Barr (R-Georgia): the principal sponsor of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, has been married three times. And at a party in 1992, Barr actually licked whipped cream off the breasts of two women? Now that's family values.
Former Republican Speaker of the House Bob Livingston (R-Louisiana): admitted to having several adulterous affairs. Had to resign because of it.
Newt Gingrich (R-Georgia): divorced wife as she recovered from cancer surgery.
Also allegedly had oral sex in the driveway of his wife's home with a woman not
his wife.

Helen Chenoweth (R-Idaho): one of first to condemn Clinton , admitted to having an extramarital affair herself.
J.C. Watts (R-Oklahoma): has said "Character is simply doing right when no one is looking." Watts has tried to cover up his out-of-wedlock child.
John Schmitz ( R-Orange County , CA ), former congressman (1970's) and one-time presidential candidate (one of the original family values conservatives): had his career ended when it was discovered that he had two out-of-wedlock children. His daughter Mary Kay LeTourneau, made national headlines when as a school teacher, she was arrested twice for having sex with an underage boy (13 years old), of which she had two children by. She is currently in jail.
Conservative pastor Terry Smith of Canyon Creek Baptist Church in Texas, was issued a Notice to Appear in court for stealing condoms from the local Skaggs Alpha Beta store in Plano, Texas. Two co-workers at the church, Mary Miller and Debbie Coleman, said Smith made unwanted sexual advances to them, possibly explaining his need for condoms.

Embattled former republican Rep. John Sweeney pleaded guilty to driving drunk under a deal that will cost him a $1,000 fine but spare him any time in jail. When the married Sweeney was pulled over, a 23 -year-old female passenger was sitting on his lap authorities said. Sweeney is a former STOP-DWI coordinator in Rensselaer County. This is the same pillar of society that grabbed his wife "by the neck and pushed her around the house.

AND THE BEAT GOES ON...LA DI DA DI DAAAA....
* Robert Bauman (Republican Congressman and pedophile),
* Dan Crane (Republican Congressman who had sex with a female Congressional page),
* Richard Dasen (Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups who was also caught pimping out 15 year old girls),
* Brian Doyle (Deputy Press Secretary of Homeland Security who propositioned a 14 year old girl over the Internet)
* Nicholas Elizondo (director of the Young Republican Federation, who molested his 6-year Larry Dale Floyd (Republican Constable in Denton County, TX, was arrested July 2005 for allegedly crossing state lines to have sex with an 8-year old child)
* Mark Foley (Republican Congressman who resigned from Congress, September 29, 2006, regarding controversial emails he wrote to a former male page. In addition, it was discovered that Foley had sent a series of sexually explicit instant messages to numerous pages. In one message, he wrote "Do I make you a little horny?" In another, he stated "You in your boxers, too?"...Well, strip down and get naked.
* JOHN FUND of the Wall Street Journal, was a prominent anti-abortion columnist and GOP fund raiser. He lost his position after it was revealed that he impregnated the daughter of an old girlfriend and then encouraged her to abort his child. It's obvious that Fund's biggest Fundraiser was pedophilia.
* Richard Gardner (Republican candidate for Nevada Assembly District 34, who admitted to molesting his two daughters.)
* Philip Giordano (former Mayor of Waterbury, CT, is serving a 37-year sentence in federal prison for sexually abusing 8- and 10-year old girls. This case is the worst I have ever seen," said U.S. District Judge Alan Nevas in passing sentence. "Your conduct is the worst I have ever seen. I've seen drug dealers, murderers. What you did is indescribable.")
* Mark Grethen (who was to be honored in Washington D.C. as Republican of the Year, an honor bestowed upon him by Representative Tom Davis of Virginia. The problem was that Grethen couldn't make it to the awards ceremony since he was convicted of six counts of sex crimes involving children. He will be in the Deep Meadow Correctional Facility until September 25, 2024.)
* Mark Harris (West Bend, WI Alderman, was described as a "good military man" and "churchgoer". He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for repeated sexual assault of a young girl. The molestation began when she was 11 years old, and continued over a two year period.)
* Harold Scott Heldreth (Republican anti-abortion activist, gained fame when he was arrested for attempting to cross police lines to take water to Terri Shiavo. According to the right-to-lifers, he is a real hero for the un-born. However, Heldreth doesn't fare so well for the living; He is a convicted child rapist in Florida.)
* Mike Hintz (First Assembly of God youth pastor, who was commended by Bush during the 2004 presidential campaign as "a real champion for decency." He signed an ad that called for criminally prosecuting businesses that sell porn. Among his other achievements, Hintz urged teens to avoid pursuing romantic relationships in favor of getting closer to God. Hintz surrendered to police after admitting to a sexual affair with a female juvenile whom (you guessed it) he'd been counseling for emotional problems.)
* Earl Kimmerling (who gained statewide attention in Indiana by fighting a gay couple's attempts to adopt an 8-year-old girl, who at the time was under Earl's foster care. The Kimmerlings and their pastor, Brad Brizendine of Center of Faith Church, launched a campaign opposing homosexual adoption. Republican representatives also took up the issue by proposing a bill to ban gay adoptions in Indiana. More than likely, the real reason Kimmerling waged his custodial campaign was that he wanted the girl all to himself. He was charged with molesting her and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.)
* Lawrence King, Jr. (Republican activist who embezzled funds from the credit union which he managed. The money was said to have been funneled to help organize child sex parties at the White House during the 1980's See Paul Robert Balach, Charles K. Dutcher & Craig J. Spence.)
* Jon Matthews (neo-conservative talk show host, wjp was sentenced to seven years' probation for exposing his genitals to an 11-year-old girl. On his show he often voiced the view that those who crossed the law deserved little mercy and harsh punishment. Well, he seems to have received an abundance of mercy and zero harsh punishment from the Liberal court...but he probably didn't complain.)
* Jeffrey Patti (Republican Committee Chairman, who was arrested for distributing a video clip of a 5-year-old girl being raped.)
* Beverly Russell (Republican activist and Christian Coalition leader, admitted to an incestuous relationship with his stepdaughter, Susan Smith, whose name was later prominent in the newspaper headlines for having drowning her two children.)
* Fred Smeltzer (Republican City Councilman (Lancaster, PA), who pleaded no contest to raping a 15 year-old girl at a Delaware campground, and served 6 months in prison. In a court affidavit, an acquaintance of Smeltzer's claimed that he had raped his daughter at this campground. Due to laws which shield children's identities in matters such as these, it was not revealed (but evident) that she was the actual victim of this crime. Smeltzer is now a registered sex offender.)
* Craig J. Spence (Republican lobbyist, was part of a major White House scandal during the 1980's. Children from orphanages in Nebraska were transported around the United States by top Republican officials in order to engage in child sex orgies with America's ruling elite. Spence took friends and male prostitutes on late-night sexcursions to the White House. Spence also faced cocaine and gun possession charges. Unfortunately, this Republican really fell on his sword. He was found dead in a Boston hotel room.)
* David Swartz (Republican County Commissioner in Richmond County, OH), who pleaded guilty to molesting two girls, which began at ages 6-7. Swartz admitted in court to having sex with the first girl. It was learned that the molestation took place for a decade. The 2nd occurred over a period of 5 years. He was sentenced to 8 years in prison.)
* Robin Vanderwall (GOP strategist, Citadel Military College graduate, and 3rd year law student at Pat Robertson's Regent University. He was also director of Faith & Family Alliance. Vanderwall helped funnel money from Jack Abromoff to Ralph Reed. In 2002, he was convicted in Virginia on five counts of soliciting sex with (what he thought were) children over the Internet. Like Brian J. Doyle, Vanderwall had played into a police sting operation. The Internet seems to be a favorite tool of GOP pedophiles.)
* Jim West (Republican Mayor of Spokane, WA who supported a bill which, if it hadn't failed, would have barred gays and lesbians from working in schools, day-care centers and some state agencies. He also voted to bar the state from distributing pamphlets telling people how to protect themselves from AIDS. To prove his worthiness with other family values Republicans, he proposed legislation that would criminalize "any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person" among unmarried teenagers. As it turns out, the reason West was so viscious was that he was deep in the closet: West had a sexual affair with an 18 year old boy, and he propositioned what he thought was a high school senior over the Internet, offering an internship at City Hall for services rendered.
The boy, we learn, was actually a computer consultant, hired by a newspaper to verify the mayor's identity and presence on Gay.com.
In other words, Jim was caught with his virtual pants down.)
* Keith Westmorland (Republican State Representative from Florida, who was charged with seven felony counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition to girls under the age of 16. Shortly thereafter, he committed suicide. Ironically, Rep. Westmoreland had a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.)
* Stephen White (better known to Penn students as Brother Stephen, was vocal in his condemnation of gays and sexual promiscuity in his campus preaching. He was also known for his abrasive methods and harassment of students as they passed him on campus. You can add Brother Stephen to the list of GOP closet pedophiles. He was sentenced to jail after soliciting a 14-year-old boy, offering $20 to perform oral sex on him.)
STOP REPUBLICAN PEDOPHILIA
* Republican Party Chairman Donald Fleischman was charged with two counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a single charge of exposing himself to a child.
* Republican prosecutor John David Roy Atchison was arrested for soliciting sex from a 5-year old girl, then killed himself three weeks later. At the time of his arrest, Atchison was an "assistant U.S. attorney" appointed by President Bush's attorney general.
* Republican city councilman John Bryan killed himself after police began investigating allegations that he had molested three girls, including two of his adopted daughters, ages 12 and 15.
* Republican legislator Ted Klaudt was charged with raping girls under the age of 16.
