Madder Than Zell, And I'm Not Going to Take It Anymore!

"Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators." 

Of course this is old news, but Senator Miller really did me proud at the Republican National Convention. When Sean Hannity of FNC interviewed the Senator the day after his speech he commented that the good Senator looked really angry. I thought it was great when Zell responded, "Well, I WAS angry!"

There sure is plenty for him to be angry about. The Democrats have done exactly what Zell accused them of. They have lied at every turn. They have unfairly criticized the President. They have accepted MILLIONS of dollars of soft money from people whose only goal is defeating President Bush. They have compromised American security for the sake of regaining the White House and Congress. They have hamstrung the judiciary by blocking President Bush's nominees. The more I think about it the madder I get!

Take, for example, the article that I found on Friday that suggests that, like Clinton, John Kerry has ties to red China. Apparently he has been just as mixed up in the Chinagate affair as Bill Clinton was.

According to the article:

"We don't have McDonald's, but we do have KFC," offered Yun Ning, a base spokesman.

While members of the Chinese military enjoy KFC chicken, they also use a vast array of U.S. space technology from various American high-tech firms such as Hughes and Loral. The current success of China's latest military satellites is a direct result of the U.S. high-tech sales to the Chinese army by the Clinton administration.

The U.S. technology sent by Clinton to China included a list of items sought by the Chinese military: anti-jam capability, advanced antennas, crosslinks, baseband processing, encryption devices, radiation hardening, and perigee kick motors.

This technology has been used to send numerous spy satellites aloft to snoop on the United States. The American firms Hughes and Loral both petitioned then President Clinton to transfer control over the export controls on their goods from the State Department to the Commerce Department. When President Clinton made this change the technology that the Chinese desired was made available to them.

In the end, both Hughes and Loral were charged with violating U.S. national security. Hughes pleaded no contest to the 123 charges filed by the U.S. State Department and has since paid a record fine. Loral also pleaded no contest and paid a record fine.

Now, on to John Kerry's involvement...

According to the article, the aerospace industry has been pressuring the Bush Administration to relax export controls on space technology. However, with the current climate where rogue nations are attempting to develop their nuclear capabilities the administration has wisely resisted them. The article goes on to point out:

Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz backs the Kerry campaign. Since 2000, Schwartz has donated over $4 million to Democrats including Kerry.

Kerry also has a secret relationship with Beijing. During the late 1990s, John Kerry traveled to Beijing on behalf of a firm associated with the Chinese military and today he does not want to talk about it.

Imagine that! I wonder why our most liberal Senator wouldn't want to talk about his connections with the Chinese?

Yet the Massachusetts-based firm of Boston Capital and Technology openly advertised its connection to Sen. Kerry and also admitted selling advanced U.S. space technology to China. Boston Capital's Web site noted that the firm was "China Advisor to U.S. Senator's commercial agenda for China."

"Advised, assisted, and executed Minister level commercial agenda for U.S. Senator. Advanced Senator in China for all Minister level meetings, coordinated and acted as liaison to: The U.S. State Department, The U.S. Embassy in Beijing, The Department of Commerce, and all relevant Chinese authorities," states the Web site.

The article sums it all up nicely:

The Bush administration's position on space technology exports to China is a matter of public record. President Bush has resisted the big money trying so hard to help the Chinese military.

In contrast, Sen. Kerry's position remains secret. Both the senator's campaign and the senator's office refused repeated requests to answer questions. The Kerry policy toward the Chinese military space program is written on large donation checks and remains behind the closed doors of a secret meeting in Beijing.

So there is at least circumstantial evidence that Kerry is as big a traitor as Bill Clinton. Hopefully someone will hold his feet to the fire on this one. Regardless of whether it looks partisan or not, the American people deserve a straight answer from John Kerry about this issue.

In other news on Friday, John Kerry and John Edwards announced their cunning plan to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions. Unfortunately, I didn't get a copy of the article and I can't find it anymore. (It makes me feel like Winston Smith a little bit. I'd best look out for the Thought Police!) You'll just have to live with my memory of what I read. Ahhh. I FINALLY found one. (Click HERE) Let's see if I understand this... The whole plan is to let Iran, card-carrying member of the Axis of Evil, keep their nuclear reactors if they give up all of their weapons-grade radioactive material? To make sure that Iran doesn't use its nuclear reactors to create more weapons-grade stuff we're going to trust the UN to keep an eye on them? I think Kerry must have done too many drugs in Vietnam... Since Edwards never served in Vietnam he must have done all his drugs in college... but I bet he didn't inhale!

Finally, there was the report that I read that suggests that the unemployment data that the Democrats have been trying to beat the President with are flawed. Why am I not surprised? Instead of boring you with the details, I'll let you read the article HERE

So, as I said there is plenty to be plenty mad about.
