CONSTITUTION PARTY OF OREGON

Don’t Be Fooled By GOP “Compassion”

Grants Pass, OR - THE CONSTITUTION PARTY OF OREGON (CPO) advises voters to be wary of Republican politicians who claim to want to spread “compassionate conservatism”, when their only true goal is to win elections - even if that means spreading what would be more appropriately called “compassionate fascism.” 

A collection of some well-known Bush administration apologists will be holding a “People of Faith” symposium in Portland on August 23^rd, “to meet and speak with brilliant thinkers… To revolutionize the future… and energize our present.” 

Three of the speakers scheduled have gone to enormous lengths in order to deceive God’s people into believing that George W. Bush is a conservative, born-again Christian, whose compassion for unborn babies would help end abortion, whose moral standards would restore our culture to a truly “God blessed country,” and that he would pursue a “humble” foreign policy.  Their propaganda tricked millions of voters to elect this wolf in sheep’s clothes as President of the United States.

One of the speakers, radio talk show host Michael Medved, regularly speaks against The Constitution Party because we do not support meddling in the affairs of other countries, including Israel.  Medved, an anti-Palestinian zealot, supports the U.S. occupation of Iraq and is a pro-war instigator.  See how he differentiates this war with the Vietnam War.  Promoting unprovoked wars is not exactly showing “compassionate conservatism.”

Another intended speaker at the symposium will be Dr. Marvin Olasky, (editor of World Magazine), also a supporter of the war in Iraq.  He admits that it took an avalanche of lies to justify the invasion of Iraq, but he refuses to admit the war is wrong.  Regarding what the Bible says about pacifism, and how he believes it does not apply to the war in Iraq, Olasky said:   “What we know in general is that Cold War pacifism would have allowed Soviet dictators control of the world, and absolute pacifism now would do the same for Muslim autocrats. 

And here, Olasky defends Rumsfeld and the abuses at Gharib:  "Rumsfeld is not responsible for the perverse acts of a few: Given man's sinfulness multiplied by wartime pressures, every war brings out evil conduct.”

The third man who was very influential in deluding Christians about Bush and who will be a speaker at this Portland symposium is Stephen Mansfield, the author of "The Faith of George Bush.” 

Jack Alan Brown, Jr., Chairman of the CPO said, “The faith of George Bush has not prevented the shedding of innocent blood, which is the first duty of government.  This charge is proven by the 8 million unborn babies murdered on his watch; and the nearly 4,000 American soldiers and 100,000 or so Iraqi civilians who have paid the ultimate price for Bush’s nation-building calamity.  George Bush has built his foreign policy on lies, and we know who is the father of lies.  The results of Bush’s policy are war crimes - as we have violated all the principles of a just war. To tout him as a man of faith, for political gain, shows just how morally bankrupt the Republican Party has become.  Ron Paul is their only hope to redeem themselves.  Anything we can do to help wayward Republicans see the error of their ways will become our mission over the next 18 months.”
