First lets start with the anti-American statement John Kerry made this weekend via Rush Limbaugh:
RUSH: [John Kerry] He got in on the action over the weekend, too, does it again, another botched joke, calling America an international pariah while he was at the World Economic Forum in Davos. (video) He was on a panel with the former president of the terror state of Iran, Mohammed Khatami, and this is what he said.
KERRY: Americans have an unfortunate habit of seeing the world and other people exclusively through an American lens --
RUSH: What?
KERRY: -- and judging their aspirations --
RUSH: What?
KERRY: -- through that lens.
RUSH: What?
KERRY: We have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East, in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated as much of a set of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today. … We should be less engaged in this neocon rhetoric of regime change and more involved in building relationships and living up to our own values so that people make a different judgment about us.
RUSH: You know, there is so much psychologically wrong with this -- well, factually wrong and psychologically dangerous, and very troubling. "We should be less engaged in neocon rhetoric of regime change and more along the lines of building relationships?" You know, the main argument that people have on my side of the aisle with what we're doing in Iraq is we're spending too much time building relationships, we're spending too much time building up a relationship rather than kicking the butt of the enemy, which is what the American people want. "Living up to our own values? Seeing everything through an American lens?" Living up to our own values, he would have to support what Bush is doing. Our own values are freedom, republican democracy and this sort of thing, which is what we are trying to put together in Iraq, and then the killer is so that people make a different judgment about us. This is a guy who lives in fear of what people think of him and is willing to be whatever he has to to get that approval.
I'm going to tell you something, it's not just his policy matters that are causing him to say these things. He's not alone, by the way. This is a liberal tradition to go across the oceans on foreign soil, call your country the worst place on the planet. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Jimmy Carter again, Jimmy Carter again, now John Kerry has done it again. It's a liberal tradition, go overseas and trash the country. And, of course, Kerry said, "Well, I'm not trashing the country. I'm trashing leaders of the country. You misunderstand Limbaugh because you're just stupid." Right. Well, Kerry's got this hang-up, folks, the American people rejected him, and he just can't deal with it. You didn't realize what a gift you had in John Kerry. You didn't realize what a brilliant elitist, smartest guy we could have had in the White House ever. You rejected him, and if you reject John Kerry, the only difference between you and a bag of dog doo-doo is the bag. He's got a chip on his shoulder about having lost the election and being rejected by the American people, and so America is a pariah.

Lets not forget that Kerry’s anti-American crusade goes back to Vietnam. And so does Jane Fonda whose anti-American crusade was resurrected this week-end:
Convinced this is their moment, tens of thousands marched Saturday in an anti-war demonstration linking military families, ordinary people and an icon of the Vietnam protest movement in a spirited call to get out of Iraq.
Celebrities, a half-dozen lawmakers and protesters from distant states rallied in the capital under a sunny sky, seizing an opportunity to press their cause with a Congress restive on the war and a country that has turned against the conflict.
Marching with them was Jane Fonda, in what she said was her first anti-war demonstration in 34 years.
"Silence is no longer an option," Fonda said to cheers from the stage on the National Mall. The actress once derided as "Hanoi Jane" by conservatives for her stance on Vietnam said she had held back from activism so as not to be a distraction for the Iraq anti-war movement, but needed to speak out now.
The rally on the Mall unfolded peacefully, although about 300 protesters tried to rush the Capitol, running up the grassy lawn to the front of the building. Police on motorcycles tried to stop them, scuffling with some and barricading entrances.
Protesters chanted "Our Congress" as their numbers grew and police faced off against them. Demonstrators later joined the masses marching from the Mall, around Capitol Hill and back.
About 50 demonstrators blocked a street near the Capitol for about 30 minutes, but they were dispersed without arrests.
United for Peace and Justice, a coalition group sponsoring the protest, had hoped 100,000 would come. They claimed even more afterward, but police, who no longer give official estimates, said privately the crowd was smaller than 100,000.
Note the organizer was United for Peace and Justice (they sound a lot like South Dakota Peace and Justice Center). Under my Public Education links is a column by Linda Kimball that starts with this reference to United for Peace and Justice:
There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. "The Sixties are dead," wrote columnist George Will (Slamming the Doors, Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)
Because the New Left lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace’ activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay’ rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of subversive organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.
Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. Code words by which they can be recognized are: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.
And now for the anti-Christian part:
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world’s proletariat had not heeded Marx’s call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.
Separately, two Marxist theorists—Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary—concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a "long march through the culture." Additionally, a new proletariat must be created. In his "Prison Notebooks," he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.
The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
And WorldNetDaily has the details on the latest anti-Christian attack:
To New York Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley, the Christian South is ''the Loire Valley of American extremism.'' Not to be outdone, Washington Post critic Tom Shales calls the Bible Belt ''scary as hell.''
The two critics unveiled their warped view of evangelical Christianity in reviews of Alexandra Pelosi's new HBO documentary, ''Friends of God,'' which premiered Jan. 25.
Shales and Stanley appeared to be competing to see who could use the most demeaning, stereotypical rhetoric to dismiss evangelical Christians.
By contrast, Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of the new speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, came away from her 18-month exploration of evangelical culture with a vow to take her newborn son to church. Apparently she didn't find these folks so horrifying.
Here are excerpts from the reviews. From The New York Times' Alessandra Stanley:
''The Bible belt is the Loire Valley of American extremism – visitors glide across vast highways in the South and West to marvel at the revivalist megachurches and ''Honk for Jesus'' road signs with the giddy awe of tourists exploring an alien civilization…The documentary is a good-natured travelogue: it glances on the more intolerant and grotesque manifestations of Christian fundamentalism and also the faith's vast following and political clout. Ms. Pelosi's film doesn't go deep; it doesn't even explore why so many televangelists seem to follow the trajectory of Elmer Gantry. But it doesn't snicker. ...''
Note to Stanley: You might want to apply over at National Geographic, where ''exploring an alien civilization'' is what they've been doing expertly for decades.
From The Washington Post's Tom Shales:
''…the Christians we see in this film are unyielding in the rightness of their ideas (i.e., evolution and abortion are wrong, ‘Jesus is the only way' and America is a Christian nation), and if someone challenges them, they simply say God has told them the truth. Certitude is the common bond…much of what the evangelicals say has to do with loving thy neighbor and finding 'eternal life.' But there is also an unmistakable combative tone that grows more aggressive as Pelosi's travels continue…Teenage Christian zealots attend a ''training camp'' for ''young warriors.'' A man identified as a Christian comic shouts from the stage, 'We want our country back, and we'll fight for it' and a solicitation letter from Jerry Falwell is headlined in large italic type, 'Will you join me in a declaration of war?' They call it a culture war, Christians vs. 'the secular progressive movement'…Christians vs. abortion rights advocates, and Christians vs. science…everywhere, beneath the widely smiling faces and facade of love in this film, there's a lurking hyper-nationalism that tries to link evangelicals with the U.S. flag and the Founding Fathers, and a seemingly paranoid hostility that maintains Christians are the most persecuted group in America…''Friends of God'' is powerful filmmaking in a uniquely understated way, a tour through another America that is sometimes funny, sometimes touching, and sometimes scary as hell.''
Note to Shales: With reviews like this, you think evangelicals are paranoid for no good reason? And by the way, when Christians talk about kids becoming ''warriors,'' they're typically talking about ''prayer warriors,'' the folks who spend hours praying for people who smear and ridicule them.
Pelosi herself has another take. While making the rounds of the talk shows to promote the film, she repeatedly made the point that she was changed by the experience.
''…something that I took away from this was that it's important to expose your children to religion,'' she told Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer. ''Whatever is important to you, because otherwise, they will be called unchurched. And those are the ones that later in life may fall into some of the more extreme religions.'' You mean like…no, never mind.
One wonders if either critic has traveled outside the confines of greater New York and Washington, D.C. to see for themselves the people they think of as ''aliens.'' They might just find normal, everyday folks who happen to love Jesus.
Using their TV columns to castigate people they don't understand verges on journalistic malpractice, not to mention outright bigotry.
I know I just covered a lot of ground, John Kerry, Jane Fonda, Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, and this list of far-left Cultural Marxists:
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
People for the American Way
United for Peace and Justice,
Planned Parenthood
Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS)
Code Pink for Peace
With the abortion ban coming up in Pierre, and the crusade to expand public education by increasing funding so that pre-K programs can be started, I must also expand on the Planned Parenthood and SIECUS contribution to the anti-American crusade. Claire Chambers said this in Chapter 4 of her book titled, "The SIECUS Circle, A Humanist Revolution":
After close scrutiny of the atheistic philosophy and Socialistic-orientated objectives of Humanism, along with concepts proclaimed in both Humanist Manifestos, only one logical conclusion can be drawn: that it is the intent of the Humanist hierarchy to meld all people of the world into an apostate religion under the control of a one-world Socialist government – a goal also envisioned by the Communists in their determined drive for the obliteration of Western Christian civilization. Perhaps that is why so many leading Humanists are also found in the ranks of the Communist "fifth column."
The partners in this unholy alliance, all of whom seek the same ultimate goal, must first secularize all institutions and corrupt America’s youth if they are to triumph. The schools were long ago chosen as the site for the major battle. Sex education is just one of the many deadly weapons in the armory of the Communist-Humanist complex.
Chambers points out the smear tactics that the media allow the left to use against those of us who bring the truth:
By ignoring the specifics – names, dates, and subversive affiliations of persons involved in the upper echelons of sex education – the media avoid bringing the real facts of the issue before the public. Instead, charges of subversion are either dismissed as "totally unfounded" with no reason given, or the smear tactics of ridicule and scorn are employed. And so the public is lulled back to sleep with the tranquilizer of evasive jargon.
And Chad Schuldt, is the far-left’s leader in smear tactics within the South Dakota blogosphere. He is often found attacking Leslee Unruh, Roger Hunt, Bob Ellis, and myself. And at times he mocks Christianity in the process. You will find Schuldt on the Hildebrand Tewes team. His bio includes this:
Chad managed the Voter File and helped identify targeted voters for the campaign that overturned the South Dakota abortion ban.
Schuldt’s smear tactics are rewarded with blood money of hundreds of babies who continue to die in the Sioux Falls Planned Parenthood abortion mill. Unfortunately that is what happens to those who have intoxicated themselves with the far-left's Humanist indoctrination found in today’s public education system.
To be clear, I am not saying Chad Schuldt is a communist, he may be just one of their useful idiots.
