Ashcroft is being vilified

for everything from agreeing that the Second Amendment is actually in

the Bill of Rights (which it is) to his unabashed confession that he is

a believing Christian who sings hymns while he jogs.

These Democratic charlatans

on their holier-than-thou perch certainly have much to be concerned about.

Unlike his predecessor, Janet Reno, Ashcroft will actually enforce the

law as written instead of turning a blind eye to campaign violations by

the President and his administration as Reno did. The only people her

Injustice Department went after were law-abiding citizens like Bill Gates

and Microsoft, legal businesses such as the tobacco companies that provide

a product sometimes harmful to citizens but only if they smoke, or people

who harassed her boss at appearances he made.

Each and every time that Clinton

campaign violation allegations came up, Ms. Reno refused to even appoint

an independent council to look into the matter even though Charles LaBella

and Louis Freeh, of the FBI, thought one was warranted.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's behavior,

(the M should stand for Manslaughter) takes the cake. I wonder if Kennedy

would have gotten away with causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, who

was a passenger in the car he was driving, allegedly under the influence

of alcohol; leaving the scene of the accident; never attempting to save

her life by diving in after her; or failure to report an accident until

eight or so hours after the fact if John Ashcroft had been the attorney

general of Sodom and Gomassachusetts at that time?

In addition, these 18 leftist

groups protesting Ashcroft's nomination have pilfered $150 million of

taxpayer money in order to promote their left-wing causes. One thing to

remember for all you Palm Beach voters, an attorney general cannot change

a law that he doesn't like. He, or she, is only allowed to enforce the

law as written or turn a blind eye to them. Reno turned a blind eye and

Ashcroft will not. That is the reason why he is being opposed by the lunatic

fringe of the left.

Can you say Attorney General

John Ashcroft? Get used to it. He will be confirmed and will do an outstanding

job for one simple reason: he is a Christian and his God demands that

he be compassionate, consistent, fair, and firm in all cases that come

before him, with no exceptions. He will do just that.
