QUOTABLES:

"For this court to create such a monstrous scheme in time of war, and in frustration of our military commanders' reliance upon clearly stated prior law, is judicial adventurism of the worst sort. I dissent," said Anthony Scalia.

"The benefit was really for the Green Party," Nader said about the Green Party’s endorsement of Texas attorney David Cobb instead of Ralph Nader. "I don't want to exaggerate it, so I'll just say massively more," said Nader.

"If you're trying to build a political movement, you don't turn your backs on people who happen to live in so-called close states," Nader said. "Our plan is to get as many votes nationally as possible.

“I would think that he would come and talk to the mayors who are making a difference in America everyday, who are on the front lines of the issues that face working people," said Boston mayor Thomas Menino.

“Taking a page from the political playbook of Mr. Moore, whose anti-Bush movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," opened nationwide on Friday, the Bush campaign has edited together the most strident sound bites from those who support Mr. Kerry, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts.” – writes the Washington Times [see website for clip]

Supreme Court upholds indefinite detention

"What is presently at stake is only whether the federal courts have jurisdiction to determine the legality of the executive's potentially indefinite detention of individuals who claim to be wholly innocent of wrongdoing," Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority in the case against the administration regarding detaining combatants.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Bush Administration has the right to hold combatants indefinitely. The court divided by a 5-4 vote to rule that the Bush Administration has the power to detain American citizen Yaser Hamdi, who was captured in Afghanistan as a suspected Taliban fighter and has been held in a U.S. military jail. The justices by an 8-1 vote ruled he should get a fair opportunity to rebut the government's case for detaining him.

Most media are offering headlines that say the Bush Administration lost on the issue of detention of combatants. However, the court has upheld that the Bush Administration can detain combatants indefinitely. The Court did rule that the combatants do have a right "to be given "a meaningful opportunity" to contest the basis for the detention before a neutral party."

 Just POlitics

The French are our enemies

While the French were saved by the U.S. twice -- once in WW I and again in WW II -- the French president informed President Bush that Europe is none of his business. It is also true that the U.S. recreated Europe with the Marshall Plan. Despite these facts, the French are telling President Bush that Europe is none of the U.S.’s business.

Somehow, the U.S. protecting and saving Europe from communism and the creation of NATO (that France is not an official part of) doesn’t mean anything.

The flap comes over the admission of Turkey to the E.U. -- European Union.

"If President Bush really said that the way I read it, well, not only did he go too far but he went into a domain which is not his own," French President Jacques Chirac told reporters at the NATO summit.

"It is like me trying to tell the United States how it should manage its relations with Mexico," he added.

Americans who argue for internationalization of our foreign policy need to get a clue that France is not our friend. This is the country that has put in writing and said publicly that America needs to be weakened. This is the country that played both sides in the "Cold War." This is the country that hates America who they helped to create. This is the country that Sen. John Kerry would kowtow to.

It was our enemy, England, that recognized that it was wise to attach themselves to the enormous potential of America. It was Winston Churchill who said that England’s future was forever linked to their cousins in America.

The problem is that France, especially, and others are concerned about admission of a Muslim state – Turkey -- to the European Union. President Bush called on Turkey’s inclusion into the Union at the NATO conference. In typical fashion, France has blocked Turkey’s admission... some believe because of Turkey’s long support of America.

The U.S. has taken the position that Muslim countries must be incorporated into the civilized democratic states. France seemingly continues to only want countries in the European Union that it can hold sway over.

Dems: don’t like their friends

The Democrats seem to not like their friends. They have issued the following e-mail concerning the Bush ’04 Committee’s ad that shows what their friends have been doing:

It isn't often that we'd ask you to go to George W. Bush's campaign website. But every single American should go to georgewbush.com immediately and watch the disgusting ad the Bush/Cheney campaign has featured on the front page.

Titled "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party," the ad features Adolf Hitler alongside Democrats, including John Kerry. President Bush's campaign has relied on negative attacks against Kerry, but this is a new low.

We've always said the Bush campaign would do anything to win, but even we are shocked that they've sunk this low. It's bizarre. It's outrageous. And we're not going to stand for it.

If President Bush has any decency at all, he'll remove this hateful ad from his website immediately.

Anti-Moore parties

Right March has issued the following e-mail to help organize anti-Moore parties for Fahrenheit 9-11:

This weekend, Michael Moore's new fake-umentary "Farenheit 9/11" was released across America, taking up valuable screen space that could have been showing more truthful movies, like "How America Lost World War II" or "John Kerry's Exciting Personality".

As we said on Friday, Moore has every free speech right to put out his anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-truth movie. But he does NOT have the right to FORCE theaters to show it, or Americans to watch it.

Radical left-wing groups like MoveOn.org are attempting to capitalize on the movie's release by handing out flyers inviting unsuspecting movie-goers to "Turn Up The Heat" house parties. Their goal? To "take the enormous momentum of Fahrenheit 9/11 and channel it into strategic action to win back the White House."

Let's do EVEN BETTER. It's time for the "silent majority" of patriotic, hard-working Americans to start coming together with other conservatives in their community, and mapping out our OWN strategies to keep a strong conservative voice in Washington, DC.

Here's how to do it: Next week, YOU and all your friends need to join over 26,000 fellow conservatives nationwide, and go to YOUR local TownHall MeetUp: http://townhall.meetup.com/

TAKE ACTION: "MeetUp.com" is a for-profit, non-partisan, independent business that provides a platform where people with similar interests can meet each other offline for whatever cause they believe in. Several political campaigns, media personalities, and advocacy groups of the left AND the right, including the conservative portal site Townhall.com, have partnered with MeetUp to allow their individual groups to organize.

Yes, as we've seen, the liberals have been a bit quicker to take advantage of this tool. A lot of the media coverage lately has been focused on what the Left is doing online, but quietly we've been building our own grassroots team. And now WE are zooming forward -- the Townhall MeetUp is now the *fastest growing* group meeting nationwide, with over 26,000 conservatives in over 650 cities already signed up to meet each month, and there's no limit to how far we
can take it!

Go to http://townhall.meetup.com/ -- find your local conservative MeetUp, sign up, and go have a great time!

If you've never been to one before, these MeetUps are a GREAT way for local conservatives to get together, have a bite to eat or a drink together, and strategize the best way to implement their local version of the "vast right-wing conspiracy." You can even upload digital pictures of your gathering to the website afterwards!

AND, once again, we've got a special job for you to do at YOUR local MeetUp!

The loony leftists at MoveOn.org handed out their Michael Moore flyers -- let's hand out our own flyers (created by our friends at moorewatch.com) that expose DOZENS of Moore's lies that the viewing public needs to know about:

http://www.rightmarch.com/media/f911flyer.pdf

Download the flyer, make copies, and hand them out at your local MeetUp -- then upload photos of the great time you had! Out-party the left! :-)

NOTE: Be sure to forward this Alert to everyone you know who wants to get together with local right-thinking folks, ready to advance the conservative agenda -- locally, and nationwide. Thank you!

sStreisand changes ‘People’ for Kerry

The official website for Barbra Streisand [www.barbrastreisand.com] has posted the rewritten lyrics to “People’ sung by Babs at the fundraiser last week for John Kerry:

"PEOPLE"    Special Lyrics By Alan & Marilyn Bergman

People
I mean G - O - P - eople -
Who’d believe there’s such people in this world?
Bush seeza
Lotta Condoleeza,
They’re dividing the planet’s oil
According to Richard “Poil”
And they’re all just trainees
Of Cheney’s.

Rumsfeld,
We must get rid of Rumsfeld -
He’s the spookiest person in the world.
As for Powell -
He’s neither fish nor fowl.
He’s in the back of the room,
While they’re all fiddling with doom.
No one’s minding the store.
What’s more,
Let’s discuss this war we’re lost in,
Don’t ask what it’s costin’ -
What’s a trillion or two to rule the world?

(Second chorus)
The Senate
How I want the Senate!
All we need is two people in the world!
I see a
Antonin Scalia.
How I dread ev’ry time he sits -
Scared out of my Wolfowitz.
Time those neo-con guys
Were gone guys.

They’re lying -
While the globe is frying -
And the fishes are dying in the world.
Their solution
For all of the pollution:
Is just to bear it and grin,
And practice not breathing in.
But things are gonna be great.
Just wait -
When the White House stationery,
Reads President John Kerry -
We’ll be the luckiest people in the world!

Kerry honors picket line

Sen. John Kerry refused the request of Boston’s mayor to attend the National Mayors Conference in his hometown. The reason being is that the Boston mayor still hasn’t settled a contract with city employees -- including the police department.

"I don't cross picket lines. I never have," Kerry said

It appears that the mayor needs to settle the contract before Kerry has to give his acceptance speech at the Democrat National Convention. Then again, Boston mayor Thomas Menino might want to have the union picketing the convention center in order to pay Kerry back.

“I would think that he would come and talk to the mayors who are making a difference in America everyday, who are on the front lines of the issues that face working people," Menino said.

"We're very proud of the senator and his stand," said Jim Barry, a spokesman for the police union.

The wild-eyed coalition

The Bush campaign has a video ad on its website titled, "John Kerry's coalition of the wild-eyed." The Washington Times in covering the story states:

Taking a page from the political playbook of Mr. Moore, whose anti-Bush movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," opened nationwide on Friday, the Bush campaign has edited together the most strident sound bites from those who support Mr. Kerry, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts.

The ad should bring comfort to the Bush supporters that they are waging a campaign against forces who have gone beyond the pale. The ad features clips from the wackado-wing of the Democrat Party, Al Gore; Michael Moore being booed while receiving his Oscar; John Kerry who uses expletives toward Bush; and MoveOn.org’s ad that uses images of Adolph Hitler to make comparisons President Bush.

Nader: Its Green Party’s loss

The Washington Post reports on how Ralph Nader says he is bigger than any third party:

Endorsing him [David Cobb], Nader said, would have meant higher visibility and better fundraising opportunities for the party. Because of his vice presidential running mate, Peter Miguel Camejo, it also had the potential to attract Latino voters.

Instead, by nominating Texas attorney David Cobb, Nader said, the party that made him its candidate in 1996 and 2000 will "shrink in its dimension" and "has jettisoned [itself] out of any influence on the Democratic Party."

The Post reports on the fact that Nader is not trying to lay off of battleground states in order to help Kerry win the election:

"If you're trying to build a political movement, you don't turn your backs on people who happen to live in so-called close states," Nader said. "Our plan is to get as many votes nationally as possible.
