The Wikipedia has a list of the 83 member Progressive Caucus, but according to the article below it neglects to mention that the Progressive Caucus was created by the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA. Very interesting.

BLAST FROM THE PAST - Hollywood Bashes Patriotism & More
Hollywood has always been a fairly Liberal town, with its Left Wing actors, directors, screen writers, etc. Gone are the days of the patriotic Reagans, Stewarts, Capras, Gables, and more. Now we get a shellacking from the likes of Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Madonna, Ozzy Osbourne, the the rest of the radical Left. Don't take my word for it, here are a few quotas from the 2004 election cycle and the war of terrorism:
Sean Penn: "We have a dictatorship in this country (the U.S.). Our government is presently the greatest threat to our people."
Danny Glover: "It's basically this rabid nationalism that has its own kind of potential of being maniacal. The whole idea is to crush any kind of dissent."
Madonna: "Our greatest risk is not terrorism and it's not Iraq or the "Axis of Evil." Our greatest risk is the lack of leadership, a lack of honesty and a complete lack of consciousness."
Sandra Bernhard: "...the real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs."

Who Likes Rick Perry
It looks like folks are finally getting to see the real Rick Perry; the guy who's lead Texas through good and bad. You know the natural gas boom, the wildfires, the outreach to Katrina evacuees, the Mexican border problems (no thanks to Obama) the no state tax, the "Business Welcome" signs, jobs, jobs, jobs...
Prominent Republicans and talk show hosts and pro-business groups back what Perry stands for in our country. Below are just a few who see his candidacy as best for our country's future. Please checkout the links.

BLAST FROM THE PAST - Ken Salazar the Anti-Christian
Obama's choice for Interior Secretary, Ken Salazar, seems to have an anti-Christian flavor about him. In 2005, he joined other liberals in their attack on Focus on the Family, a global Christian ministry dedicated to helping families thrive.
Salazar said "From my point of view, they (Focus on the Family) are the Anti-Christ of the world." This was due to Focus' support for a up-or-down vote on President George W. Bush's judicial nominees.
It's so odd that Salazar once attended St. Francis Seminary (a religious, family oriented school...maybe). I guess he lost the faith! But, he gained another faith...
With level headed thinking like that, no wonder Salazar bows to the Obama and does everything the Obama wants regarding gas, oil, and coal. Remember, the Department of the Interior oversees such agencies as the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Geological Survey, and the National Park Service. Anyone hear of anti-drilling? Hail, Obama!

The Left and Its Hatred of America
Modern day socialist know as the Left has a passionate hatred for all that is American. The Left perceives the United States as the Islamic jihadists see it..."the Great Satan." Everything and anything the U.S. does to expand democracy in other countries, is seen by the Left as evil.
In 2001, just ten days before the jihadist attack of 9/11, the United Nations held a conference in Durban, South Africa to "combat intolerance." Such Leftist as Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, and spokesmen for Iran and Iraq attended the conference. From the beginning these Leftist attacked the U.S. and Israel as racist, aggressive, and imperialist. Combating intolerance became a US-Israel bashing.
American government delegates including, Colin Powell walked out in protest. BUT...American non-government organizations (NGOs) funded in part by the Ford Foundation stayed to express their approval.These NGOs included the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), and the National Lawyers Guild (an old Communist Party front). They agreed with all other Leftist at that conference...the United States was "the Great Satan!"
The Leftist in the U.S. showed their stripes back then. Today, these groups live on and continue to hate America. Today and back then they spew lies as truth. Their America bashing is odd in that the same government allows them to exist. The totalitarian governments they often extol would have long ago sent them to gulags!

Muslim Brotherhood Infiltration - Fact or Conspiracy Theory
Here's a great article form THEBLAZE.COM...
"Over the past few months, the Blaze has explored the Muslim Brotherhood’s increasing influence here in America and abroad. This week, CBN’s Erick Stakelbeck produced a new report that touts the shocking allegation that the radical group has already begun working its way into the American government.
Stakelbeck describes the Brotherhood as “the first modern terrorists and the forerunner of al-Qaeda.” Following 9/11, the al-Qaeda became somewhat of a household name in the United States. But while most Americans are familiar with the infamous radical Islamic cohort, many likely don’t know a great deal about the Brotherhood."

I CHING: a Prediction About Rick Perry
Read the excerpt below from the I CHING and think about it:
"Unfit leaders create stagnation (Obama?). They gained control by artificially pleasing those who once held office (the Clintons?). The masses follow like sheep, unquestioning of the law made by those in higher positions (Obama & 2009 Democratic Congress?). For every action there is a reaction (Tea Party?) The wise man stands alone, unafraid to let his beliefs be known (Rick Perry?) He will prepare himself for the new dawn (Rick Perry?)."
I CHING is an ancient Chinese book of changes "...based on the laws of nature with an explanation of the balance of the universe..." Some folks use it to try and predict the future.What I present to you in the parenthesis () is my interpretation of a page that I opened at random and found very interesting!
And YES...this is my political opinion. I don't expect anyone else to agree...but...just
THINK ABOUT IT!

RIGHTWINGWATCH...Obama, Soros, and More
There's a group called RightWingWatch that says its...
"People For the American Way's Right Wing Watch is dedicated to monitoring and reporting on the activities of right-wing political organizations, in order to expose the agenda of the extreme Right. Our researchers monitor dozens of broadcasts, emails and websites, and use their expertise on right-wing movements to analyze and distill that information for the general public."
Sounds good until you look at its "BlogRoll." These include, but not limited to, the following FAR LEFT sites Daily KOS, Crooks and Liars, the Huffington Post, TalkLeft, and on and on.
So how hypercritical to call yourself RightWingWatch!
BTW...the sites goes after the only true Republican Conservative Rick Perry without mercy. RWW, you don't speak for the majority of Americans...so get a new name.

Perry to Unveil Domestic Energy Plan
Rick Perry will expand energy
production on federal lands, curb regulations and create some 1.2 million jobs
in the process. These are not shallow words, but the promise of a true Conservative and job-builder.
Perry may be considered as an underdog right now, but his actions in Texas show that he can do what he promises. Even Obama is afraid of Perry's can do accomplishments.

Tea Party Critical of Occupy Wall Street
By Martin Gould and David A. Patten
Tea party activists have gone on the offensive against anti-Wall Street demonstrators just a day before the New York protest threatens to come to a head.
The Republican party-within-a-party is taking pains to point out the differences between its genteel grass-roots movement and the disparate groups camping out under tarps pushing a range of left-wing causes.
And their point is likely to be driven home on Friday when a major confrontation between police and the Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York is predicted.
“The motivation between Occupy Wall Street and the motivation from the tea party are completely different,” Bryan Shroyer of theteaparty.net tells Newsmax.

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 Could go to 12-12-12 or 15-15-15
Below is my response to someone who said that Herman Cain's 9-9-9 did NOT add to my taxes. This was on my Facebook. You may not agree with me, but you must think about it...seriously. The plan may be catchy, but it is, in my opinion, another business/government gimmick.
It (Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan) is an added tax BURDEN in that you still have a 9% FEDERAL income tax for everyone. Corporations get a 9% tax. And then there's the 9% SALES TAX. Yes, there is a lowering of income taxes for everyone. But we pay those income taxes once. The sales tax goes on ad infinitum. And YES the 9% SALES TAX adds up especially for people on fixed incomes or with low incomes. Sure the "well off" folks pay higher sales taxes when they buy a Porsche, but so do I when I buy a Ford!! In my city we pay 8.125% sales tax..now add 9% more...NO THANKS...Cain's tax plan can lead to higher rates later...check with Sean Hannity on that theory. I say...work on the current tax system...with cajones (pardon my Spanish slang)...fix it!!

Double Standard of the Mainstream Media
By Alex Pappas--The Daily Caller
While reporters at first didn’t always cover tea party rallies, Russo said, a California newspaper has recently been putting stories about the Occupy Wall Street on its front page.
“The Sacramento Bee actually had a front-page story before the rally, telling people where it was and what time it was,” Russo said.
An official at FreedomWorks, the Washington, D.C.-based group that has organized tea party rallies since the movement burst onto the scene in 2009, said the media has been ignoring negative features of the “Occupy Wall Street” protests while it played up dubious charges against conservative activists last year.
“I think it’s kind of funny that the media talked about alleged things that the tea party guys did that were never proven,” spokesman Adam Brandon told The Daily Caller.

Activists affiliated with
the tea party movement say they’re witnessing a double standard in the way the
media is covering the “Occupy Wall Street” protests compared to the tea party.
“It’s almost laughable,” said Sal Russo, a strategist with the California-based
group Tea Party Express, in an interview.
While reporters at first didn’t always cover tea party rallies, Russo said, a California newspaper has recently been putting stories about the Occupy Wall Street on its front page.

“I think it’s kind of funny that the media talked about alleged things that the tea party guys did that were never proven,” spokesman Adam Brandon told The Daily Caller.
“Then you have pictures of
these guys getting arrested and confronting officers and now they’re being
celebrated.” (RELATED: TheDC’s Jamie Weinstein: Unlike the tea party, ‘Occupy
Wall Street’ will fail)
Mark Meckler, the co-founder
of the Tea Party Patriots, struck a similar note, saying that when the tea
party protests first began, “we were ignored, mocked, and then attacked by the
media” and “called ‘Astroturf,’ ‘fringe,’ ‘racists’ and ‘Nazis.’”
“Yet today, the leftist
media seemingly cheers for a group of lawbreaking miscreants who have openly
committed a variety of illegal acts,” Meckler said.
Said Brandon: “Of course,
you hear about the guy who got arrested throwing a shoe at the White House. I
heard they were pepper-spraying people down at the Smithsonian. I have yet to
hear a story about a tea partier ever doing that.”
And Judson Phillips, the
leader of the Tennessee-based group Tea Party Nation, said the “media’s
coverage of Occupy Wall Street has been almost totally positive to the point of
glossing over some serious issues.”
While there have been news
stories about some of the more negative attributes of the Occupy Wall Street
protests, these conservative activists say it’s nothing in comparison to the
scrutiny the media applied to tea partiers.
“While a number of people
have been arrested and there is even a photo of a protester defecating on a
police car, there still is no really negative coverage from the mainstream
media,” Phillips said.
“Meanwhile, protesters in
New York had a photoshopped image of the decapitated head of the chairman of
Goldman Sachs on a pike and no one seems to be talking about that,” he said.

Wall Street Protesters: Fabian Strategy?
Written on October 10, 2011 by Ann-Marie Murrell
Of course, when interviewers ask the protesters what precisely they are protesting, the answer is usually something like “We’re tired of the banks and rich people!” or “because I’m a Socialist (or Communist) or, as is usually the case, blank stares and/or giggles.
We’ve all laughed at these people, joked and shared photos of them on Facebook. But are these Stalinesque ‘useful idiots’ actually dangerous?
When you look at the people behind the movement, I’d say yes, perhaps. And the one thing I keep hearing from all of them is, like a Fabian strategy, they are in this for the long haul.
Communist and former Obama administration official Van Jones is said to have started the protests with his “Save the American Dream” movement—coinciding with the Occupy Wall Street protests, created and funded by George Soro via Moveon.org.
“It was very easy when [the] Tea Party first started, to dismiss them, to laugh at them and say ‘this is just nothing, it’s some kind of joke, it’s a fad, it’s going to go away,’” Jones told reporters after a Save the American Dream rally in Washington, D.C.
“Everybody should hold onto their seats,” Jones said. “October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back. You can see it coming.”
Jones is likening these movements with the Arab Spring protests that happened throughout the Middle East and claims there will be many more similar movements ‘flowering’ throughout the United States.
(In case you don’t remember, Arab Spring was when the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda took over half the Middle East and when CBS news reporter Laura Logan was brutally gang-raped during Egypt’s celebrations…but I digress.)
“You are going to see an American Fall, an American Autumn, just like we saw the Arab Spring,” Jones continued. “You can see it right now with these young people on Wall Street. Hold onto your hats, we’re going to have an October offensive to take back the American dream and to rescue America’s middle class.”
Interestingly, no one involved in these movements seem to be attributing any of the economic failures on the president. None of them seem to be protesting the Obama administration—just America and “rich people” in general. And speaking of, almost every progressive politician has offered praise and encouragement for the protests, from Nancy Pelosi to the president himself (both of whom are very rich, but who’s counting…)
Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus Rep. John Larson (D-Conn) said, “We have to make sure that as Tunisia, as Egypt, as frankly the whole world starts to look at how free people think and feel, that [they] understand that it’s an evolving process. It just doesn’t happen overnight.”
Just so you won’t have to, I went to Van Jones’ RebuildTheDream.com website and found out their upcoming plans. Just like Roman Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, they are NOT giving up on this battle anytime soon.
On November 17 they are planning a “National Day of Action” in which they plan to “punish” the congressional Supercommittee. (What does that mean? Should we perhaps contact Homeland Security, because this certainly sounds like a THREAT to me):
On that day, we will hold members of Congress accountable — we will punish those who oppose job-creating legislation, and we will praise and support those who push hard for real solutions. We need jobs, not cuts. We need economic growth, funded by making the wealthiest pay their fair share.
They are also planning on recruiting and supporting their own candidates for the 2012 elections—“building power from the ballot box, from the bottom up”.
That’s why we’re recruiting and supporting at least 2,012 American Dream candidates to run in 2012 — in all 50 states from school Board on up to Congress. New Organizing Institute’s Candidate Project, led by Carlos Odio – a rising American Dream leader, and Progressive Majority and are taking the lead on this.
Finally, they are calling on one million Americans to “step up as American Dream leaders” and are planning to infiltrate “churches and synagogues, union halls and living rooms.”
In just the last three months, hundreds of thousands of people have taken action online, and tens of thousands of people have met at local American Dream meetings in every congressional district in the nation. And we’ve barely begun. We’ll hold house meetings and teach-ins on economic policy, we’ll work with entrepreneurs to test out new shareable ways of working together. And we’ll spark scholars, creatives, videographers, graphic designers to engage their communities and produce and create what a movement needs.
So there ya go. To me, it sounds like their plans for an “American Fall” are more like plans for the “Fall of America”.
“Fabian strategy is an approach to military operations where one side avoids large, pitched battles in favor of smaller, harassing actions in order to break the enemy’s will to keep fighting and wear them down through attrition. Generally, this type of strategy is adopted by smaller, weaker powers when combating a larger foe. In order for it to be successful, time must be on the side of user and they must be able to avoid large-scale actions. Also, Fabian strategy requires a strong degree of will from both politicians and soldiers, as frequent retreats and a lack of major victories can prove demoralizing.”
For the past few weeks we’ve all watched countless videos of protesters being interviewed from New York to Los Angeles. Most feature people who seem completely clueless—not even sure why they’re there other than ‘hating Wall Street’.
Of course, when interviewers ask the protesters what precisely they are protesting, the answer is usually something like “We’re tired of the banks and rich people!” or “because I’m a Socialist (or Communist) or, as is usually the case, blank stares and/or giggles.

Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus Rep. John Larson (D-Conn) said, “We have to make sure that as Tunisia, as Egypt, as frankly the whole world starts to look at how free people think and feel, that [they] understand that it’s an evolving process. It just doesn’t happen overnight.”
Just so you won’t have to, I went to Van Jones’ RebuildTheDream.com website and found out their upcoming plans. Just like Roman Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, they are NOT giving up on this battle anytime soon.
On November 17 they are planning a “National Day of Action” in which they plan to “punish” the congressional Supercommittee. (What does that mean? Should we perhaps contact Homeland Security, because this certainly sounds like a THREAT to me):
On that day, we will hold members of Congress accountable — we will punish those who oppose job-creating legislation, and we will praise and support those who push hard for real solutions. We need jobs, not cuts. We need economic growth, funded by making the wealthiest pay their fair share.
They are also planning on recruiting and supporting their own candidates for the 2012 elections—“building power from the ballot box, from the bottom up”.
That’s why we’re recruiting and supporting at least 2,012 American Dream candidates to run in 2012 — in all 50 states from school Board on up to Congress. New Organizing Institute’s Candidate Project, led by Carlos Odio – a rising American Dream leader, and Progressive Majority and are taking the lead on this.
Finally, they are calling on one million Americans to “step up as American Dream leaders” and are planning to infiltrate “churches and synagogues, union halls and living rooms.”
In just the last three months, hundreds of thousands of people have taken action online, and tens of thousands of people have met at local American Dream meetings in every congressional district in the nation. And we’ve barely begun. We’ll hold house meetings and teach-ins on economic policy, we’ll work with entrepreneurs to test out new shareable ways of working together. And we’ll spark scholars, creatives, videographers, graphic designers to engage their communities and produce and create what a movement needs.
So there ya go. To me, it sounds like their plans for an “American Fall” are more like plans for the “Fall of America”.

Next Round: Obama Admin Authorizes Billions More In Loan Guarantees to Solar Companies
SunPower and First Solar are two prominent U.S. solar manufacturers receiving billions in government-backed loans—funding meant to facilitate deployment of utility-scale photovoltaic (i.e. solar power) projects on U.S. soil, writes David Phillips of 24/7 Wall St. Energy Secretary Steven Chu has claimed on the DOE website that such incentives will create “tens of thousands of indirect jobs” in renewable power industries.
Oh, is that right?

Emails Raise Fresh Questions on Obama Energy Loan
WASHINGTON - An Obama administration appointee at the Energy Department pressed White House analysts to sign off on a $535 million loan to Solyndra even though his wife worked for the failed solar panel maker's law firm.
The revelation, contained in a new batch of internal emails released Friday, adds new drama to a heated political battle over government backing for Solyndra, which has filed for bankruptcy and has been raided by the FBI.
The emails show frequent inquiries from Steven Spinner, who was an adviser to the Energy Department on its use of economic stimulus funding to spur clean energy technology, on the Solyndra loan, according to a report in the New York Times.

Taxpayers are unlikely ever to see any of the $535 million lost when solar panel
firm Solyndra went bust amid accusations of fraud, Rep. Cory Gardner, a member

interview.
And Jonathan Silver, who quit on Thursday as head of the agency which approved the loan, is likely to be only the first of many heads to roll as House Republicans widen their investigation into the scandal, he added.

Wall Street Protest NOT Spontaneous!
FROM THE DAILY CALLER:
A liberal organizer told the Daily Caller on Thursday afternoon that he paid some Hispanics to attend “Occupy DC” protests happening in the nation’s capital.
TheDC attended the protest event, an expansion of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement that began in New York City. Some aspects of the protest, it turned out, are more Astroturf than grassroots.
One group of about ten Hispanic protesters marched behind a Caucasian individual from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting rent control in Washington, D.C.
Asked why they were there, some Hispanic protesters holding up English protest signs could not articulate what their signs said.

Big Soros Money Linked to “Occupy Wall Street”
Billionaire financier George Soros was totally in support of the anti-Wall Street campaign from the very beginning. This week Soros told the world that he agrees with the protesters and their complaints about bailouts. The weird thing is that he lobbied for even greater unconstitutional handouts to bankers in 2009.

Wall Street Protester: I'm protesting because...well...ahh...you see...ahh.
by Buck Sexton
"As the Occupy Wall Street protests surge in size and spread across the country, the Occupy Sacramento offshoot appears to be both confused, and angry when asked simple questions about their purpose
.
About 300 protesters showed up in a downtown Sacramento park Thursday morning to kick off the Occupy Sacramento movement, and they did not take kindly to the the presence of a local CBS reporter. They also couldn‘t agree on why they’re there."

Why We Should Defund Public Broadcasting
The Media Research Center laid out a report on why Public Broadcasting should NOT get taxpayer funding. The Leftist propaganda churned out by PBS and NPR is one reason why we must stop funding PB. Those in charge of both outlets have their causes and they blurt out support for those causes every time they get a chance.

Obama and friends must have quite a bit invested in "green" energy and the like. Even though we are on par with OPEC regarding oil reserves, he doesn't care to take advantage of this.

ESPN Nixes Hank Williams Jr
ESPN seems to not read nor heed the US Constitution. Free speech is OK only under its terms. Last I saw, ESPN was owned by Left leaning Walt Disney Company (80%) and The Hearst Corporation (20%). So, it doesn't appear too strange that ESPN has stopped using Hank Williams, Jr. for the opening of Monday Night football, because he made a comment that compared Obama to Hitler.

Ted Kennedy Traitor or Patriot
Ted Kennedy is gone but not forgotten. Was Kennedy an American traitor or an American patriot? Why did he try to undermine President Ronald Reagan? Was Kennedy that naive regarding Soviet plans for worldwide supremacy? Read the 1983 KGB letter below and decide.
Text of KGB Letter on Senator Ted Kennedy
Special Importance Committee on State Security of the USSR 14.05.1983 No. 1029 Ch/OV Moscow
Regarding Senator Kennedy’s request to the General Secretary of the Communist Party Comrade Y.V. Andropov Comrade Y.V. Andropov
On 9-10 May of this year, Senator Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant J. Tunney was in Moscow. The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov:
Senator Kennedy, like other rational people, is very troubled by the current state of Soviet-American relations. Events are developing such that this relationship coupled with the general state of global affairs will make the situation even more dangerous. The main reason for this is Reagan’s belligerence, and his firm commitment to deploy new American middle range nuclear weapons within Western Europe.
According to Kennedy, the current threat is due to the President’s refusal to engage any modification on his politics. He feels that his domestic standing has been strengthened because of the well publicized improvements of the economy: inflation has been greatly reduced, production levels are increasing as is overall business activity. For these reasons, interest rates will continue to decline. The White House has portrayed this in the media as the “success of Reaganomics.”
Naturally, not everything in the province of economics has gone according to Reagan’s plan. A few well known economists and members of financial circles, particularly from the north-eastern states, foresee certain hidden tendencies that may bring about a new economic crisis in the USA. This could bring about the fall of the presidential campaign of 1984, which would benefit the Democratic party. Nevertheless, there are no secure assurances this will indeed develop.
The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations. These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign. The movement advocating a freeze on nuclear arsenals of both countries continues to gain strength in the United States. The movement is also willing to accept preparations, particularly from Kennedy, for its continued growth. In political and influential circles of the country, including within Congress, the resistance to growing military expenditures is gaining strength.
However, according to Kennedy, the opposition to Reagan is still very weak. Reagan’s adversaries are divided and the presentations they make are not fully effective. Meanwhile, Reagan has the capabilities to effectively counter any propaganda. In order to neutralize criticism that the talks between the USA and the USSR are non-constructive, Reagan will grandiose, but subjectively propagandistic. At the same time, Soviet officials who speak about disarmament will be quoted out of context, silenced or groundlessly and whimsically discounted. Although arguments and statements by officials of the USSR do appear in the press, it is important to note the majority of Americans do not read serious newspapers or periodicals.
Kennedy believes that, given the current state of affairs, and in the interest of peace, it would be prudent and timely to undertake the following steps to counter the militaristic politics of Reagan and his campaign to psychologically burden the American people. In this regard, he offers the following proposals to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Y.V. Andropov.
1. Kennedy asks Y.V. Andropov to consider inviting the senator to Moscow for a personal meeting in July of this year. The main purpose of the meeting, according to the senator, would be to arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so they may be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the USA. He would also like to inform you that he has planned a trip through Western Europe, where he anticipates meeting England’s Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and French President Mitterand in which he will exchange similar ideas regarding the same issues.
If his proposals would be accepted in principle, Kennedy would send his representative to Moscow to resolve questions regarding organizing such a visit.
Kennedy thinks the benefit of a meeting with Y.V. Andropov will be enhanced if he could also invite one of the well known Republican senators, for example, Mark Hatfield. Such a meeting will have a strong impact on American and political circles in the USA. (In March of 1982, Hatfield and Kennedy proposed a project resolution to freeze the nuclear arsenals of the USA and the USSR and published a book on this theme as well.)
2. Kennedy believes that in order to influence Americans it would be important to organize in August-September of this year, televised interviews with Y.V. Andropov in the USA. A direct appeal by the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to the American people will, without a doubt, attract a great deal of attention and interest in the country. The senator is convinced this would receive the maximum resonance in so far as television is the most effective method of mass media and information.
If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y.V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interviews. Specifically, the president of the board of directors of ABC, Elton Raul and television columnists Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters could visit Moscow. The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.
Furthermore, with the same purpose in mind, a series of televised interviews in the USA with lower level Soviet officials, particularly from the military would be organized. They would also have an opportunity to appeal directly to the American people about the peaceful intentions of the USSR, with their own arguments about maintaining a true balance of power between the USSR and the USA in military terms. This issue is quickly being distorted by Reagan’s administration.
Kennedy asked to convey that this appeal to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is his effort to contribute a strong proposal that would root out the threat of nuclear war, and to improve Soviet-American relations, so that they define the safety of the world. Kennedy is very impressed with the activities of Y.V. Andropov and other Soviet leaders, who expressed their commitment to heal international affairs, and improve mutual understanding between peoples.
The senator underscored that he eagerly awaits a reply to his appeal, the answer to which may be delivered through Tunney.
Having conveyed Kennedy’s appeal to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Tunney also explained that Senator Kennedy has in the last few years actively made appearances to reduce the threat of war. Because he formally refused to partake in the election campaign of 1984, his speeches would be taken without prejudice as they are not tied to any campaign promises. Tunney remarked that the senator wants to run for president in 1988. At that time, he will be 56 and his personal problems, which could hinder his standing, will be resolved (Kennedy has just completed a divorce and plans to remarry in the near future). Taken together, Kennedy does not discount that during the 1984 campaign, the Democratic party may officially turn to him to lead the fight against the Republicans and elect their candidate president. This would explain why he is convinced that none of the candidates today have a real chance at defeating Reagan.
We await instructions.

Andy Rooney Meets Bernie Goldberg
"As far as Andy Rooney and his bosses at CBS News were concerned, when it came to talking about liberal bias in the news, dishonesty was the best policy. Taking the Fifth and never uttering the words “liberal bias” was an even better policy."
The above is a direct quote from an article by Bernie Goldberg, you know the guy who talks to Bill O'Reilly now and then. And yes, the same Goldberg who gives O'Reilly a some times well deserved tongue lashing that leaves the latter smiling and waging his finger on Fox!
