Boycott SELF Magazine

My letter to Self:


To Ms. Corbett and Self Magazine:

On page 26 of the August 2004 issue you suggest that on August 29 I should "follow the lead of Codepink ... to fire Bush." There is NO place for politics in your magazine, especially considering the political climate of the day, and the fragility of world unity.

You have blatantly ABUSED your editorial responsibilities so you could further YOUR political agenda. Liberals of your ilk continually confirm to the rest of us rational (not radical) thinking Americans that you're motives are SELF-serving and never in the interests for the great of mankind.

I am a proud Bush supporter, and I am absolutely offended that you took a cheap shot at our President in a time of WAR. Keep your personal political agenda out of your magazines, and don't tell me how I should vote. (Are you so desperate to have Kerry in office that you would ask your readers to fire Bush?? Pathetic.)

I will say this, though, Self Magazine has now joined the ranks of other Radical Liberals on Americans4Truth.com's Boycott list. We protest where it hurts you most: your financial bottom line.

Good riddance to your propaganda "health" mag.

Kristina M. Murray

PS. I am snail-mailing a copy of this letter to your Editor-in-Chief, Lucy S. Danziger.

America's Image Is More Important Than American Lives

After watching Kerry's speech in its entirety, I realized that this man cares more about how the rest of the world views America than the lives of its inhabitants. Peppered throughout his speech, he spoke of how he'll improve America's image and relations with the rest of the world. America will regain the respect, and we will stand proud once again.

Um. Does this man not comprehend that we are at war? And, that we are extremely vulnerable to terrorists who want nothing more than to destroy America and its people? And this man cares more about what France thinks of US? Unbelievable.

This man had the opportunity to step up and show America that he's capable and ready as Commander-in-Chief to kick some terrorist ass. But he completely fails at proving he has the wherewithall to do it. He's weak. He's submissive to the UN. France, Germany, China and any other country who hates America, will ALWAYS hate America no matter who is president. What is Mr. Kerry going to do to make them "like" us?

This is NOT a popularity contest. This is not about appeasing foreign countries. This is about life and death, of not just Americans but of people from all faiths and ethnicities. This is about showing unwavering strength against an enemy. President Bush has admirably and unequivocally proven himself in this endeavor. Mr. Kerry has not. Remember, "I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars before I voted against it." That's Kerry. Is this man presidential material? Am I the only person saying, "Huh?"

America was viciously attacked on 9/11. There are terrorists among us (YES, THERE IS PROOF!) who are planning to carry out another vicious, deadly attack. Do we want a man who will strike only AFTER we've been struck? Or do we want a man with conviction, who will go after them with a vengeance and get them before they get us??

Kerry made it clear lastnight that "Any attack will be met with a swift and certain response." I do NOT want this man to be my President!!! We must be proactive on terror, not reactive! That's the difference between President Bush and Mr. Kerry.

"I did come here illegally, I came through the bush."

This is what Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed told FBI agents in a voluntary interview on July 21 after being stopped from boarding a plane to New York from Texas without any proper identification. She provided a South African passport with 4 missing pages and no visa.

Here's the story...

"South African officials say the crime syndicates are selling the country's identity documents and passports for as little as R500. They sell mostly to economic migrants, who find it easier to enter Europe or the United States on a South African passport than ones from their own countries. But terrorists now appear to be tapping into these networks, Gilder acknowledged."

And we want to let these people freely fly on our planes? We fear racial profiling will hurt their feelings? What is more tragic: hurting a potential terrorists's feelings or the cold-blooded, ruthless, spineless, faithless murder of thousands of innocent people?

Close our borders. Stop these people from getting on our planes.

THIS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS GOT TO STOP NOW OR WE ARE FUCKED AS A NATION!

Americans Living in Poverty Conditions? Hillary Doesn't Think So.

John Edwards:

"We can also do something about 35 million Americans who live in poverty every day. And here's why we shouldn't just talk about, but do something about the millions of Americans who live in poverty: because it is wrong. And we have a moral responsibility to lift those families up."

Hillary Clinton:

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." from SFGate.com

So, Um... Are we living in poverty or are we well off enough? I'll tell you... I don't want to be taxed MORE! Jeez. I work long, hard hours. I have THREE jobs. Yes, three, and I'm not Jamaican. Enough of my paycheck is going to the local and federal governments for failed Leftist programs. I don't want more money taken out.

These Commie Dems have their heads up their asses. They have no clear idea of who I am. Or of who you are. Why do they feel they have the right to take more of my hard-earned money to give to the 35 million Americans living in poverty? Dontcha think the better solution is to figure out WHY these people are poor in the first place, and correct it?

Provide incentives for people to get up OFF THEIR ASSES and do something with their lives! Giving hand-outs (taking from people like me) only perpetuates the entitlement attitude many have. How about firing teachers who CANNOT teach? Unions are not helping the situation when you can't fire a teacher who has failed to do his or her job in teaching. That's why kids are so stupid these days. Because standards are lowered and bad teachers are never fired. How about fixing the "poverty problem" from that angle rather than taking MORE of my money!!!

You know, it offends me to see that the only solution these obscenely weathly Left politicians have is to raise taxes. Do they understand that they are really hurting middle-class, hardworking people like myself?! I do not have the means to hire deceitful lawyers who can find the "loopholes" in the tax law for me. These guys do. Hillary and Bill, Kerry and Heinz, Edwards... all these rich liberals who's kneejerk reaction is tax, tax, tax.

Leave my money where it belongs: In my pocket.

An Iraqi Artist Expresses His Gratitude

Please take a look at this picture. Then read on.... (an email from a friend).


This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry division. It will eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood, Texas.

The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.

Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country; he melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors. Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.

To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news? Because it is heart warming and praise worthy. The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect that a flashed breast or controversy of politics does. But we can do something about it. We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who are making a difference.
