This is  the exact article, Lieberman For President (IN 2004), that was published in August 1999, three months before the election. G. W. Bush was the eventually elected as we anticipated, which is history. However, we continue to believe it was a prologue to the 2004 election, and this view looms more ominous with every passing day.

The Stock market can hardly be expected to do anything but sink between now and Election Day 2002. There are two good reasons for this that, so far, few have talked about.

First, there will be tax loss selling between now and the November Congressional elections. Tax selling invariable drives loosing stocks lower, and who does not have a loss to take? Second, the Dollar continues to skid sickeningly down the slope. Any attempt by the Federal Reserve to buoy up the market by passing out cheap money to its banker friends will likely result in a further collapse of the dollar. Trading partners will view this as an act of economic war on them because it prices their export out of our market.

Furthermore, our President’s standard answer to a slack economy is more international war. The administration considers war on Iraq as an economic necessity and is willing to do whatever it must to get the war going. There is simply not enough war going on in the world to float our sagging economy! The Warmaker’s solution is to waste more on more war. Needless to say we oppose this regardless of cost. As we suggested in the following reprinted article, Mr. Bush’s warmaking popularity is beginning to fizzle. His destiny to be a one term president becomes more apparent, and deservedly so.

The question for those who care is: What kind of a President would Joseph Lieberman be in 2004: Our answer is we must start by understanding how and what is about to happen, and who is making it happen.

Lieberman for President (in 2004)
By C. E. Carlson

Our last issue of “Heads Up!” Why Christians Will Vote for Gore brought a lively response and we are still answering mail and filling book orders. For those who felt we were picking on Democrats, be sure you read our past series on the Republican leadership on our website, it will make you feel better.

We stated, “The power brokers who fund the election have picked Joseph Lieberman, the most prominent orthodox Jew in national politics, because he is the only candidate who can attract the Christian Right’s vote.”

We went on to explain what seemed to surprise some that Celebrity Christian Leaders, including Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and as many as a hundred more have been telling us for years, that they believe it is a Christian’s duty to act out blessings on the State of Israel and Jews in general. They are in a position where they will have an enormous problem in telling the truth about Joseph Lieberman. We said, “What greater blessing can they bestow on Israel than to place a man in the White House who is the most powerful pro-Israel advocate in America? Lieberman is on the path to the Presidency in another four or eight years.”

We described these leaders by their own self-imposed term, “Judeo-Christians”, which we defined as a political philosophy that dominates the celebrity leadership of the Christian Political Right. We named a principle tenet of the sect as a belief that Christians can not be blessed if he does not personally bless Israel (the state), and that he will, in fact, be cursed if he fails to cast his own blessings on the State of Israel and the Jewish people.”

Further, we summed it up by saying “The hope of those who appointed him (Lieberman) is to capture a split of the Christian vote, a very significant number, perhaps even enough to win for Al Gore. Most important to Mr. Big (bigger even than the Democrat party), if it does not work this time is why not next time in 2004? By then Joseph Lieberman’s smiling face will be known to everyone.”

The leaders of the celebrity Christian Right have long standing commitments to those who control the state of Israel. They can not be objective and candid about the qualification of Joseph Lieberman to serve our country as its President.

The expected role of a Christian Right leader is to be decisive on moral issues. Would anyone disagree with that? Decisive means to leave no stone unturned to let their followers of their vast publicly networks know who stands where on moral issues. Decisive does not mean to be gracious and respectful to an adversary, as we are already seeing in the case of Mr. Lieberman.

An examination of the website of the most prominent Celebrity Judeo-Christians of our day reveals the top four trend setters have not made any decisive effort to disclose any of the glaring political faults of Joseph Lieberman, issues which should have rendered him un-elect able in national politics. We will discuss these issues in detail in Issue III.

Pat Robertson’s 700 Club seems to have said the most, which is almost nothing! Stories about the Convention by Gary Lane and David Snyder, make only the mildest mention of Lieberman. Snyder states, “Lieberman’s voting record was “both liberal and conservative” His abortion policy is mentioned but is played down as the “pendulum” swinging first left, then right.  Snyder describes him as, “A man of real faith, an Orthodox Jew”.

Most other celebrity leaders had barely mentioned Lieberman’s nomination before the Democrat Convention came to an end. Among the “no words are good words” crowd are: James Dobson, D. James Kennedy, Gary Falwell, Beverly LaHay of Concerned Women for America, and Richard L. Land, of the giant Southern Baptist Convention. All have remained silent about Lieberman’s voting record, even about his consistently radical pro-abortion positions. It is as though they had decided that if they can not say something nice about Joseph Lieberman they will remain mute. But in their case, this Silence is affirmation, because these same celebrities have historically made it known that if it is for Israel, they are for it.

What commitment has celebrity leaders made to Israel that will prevent them form telling the truth about Joseph Lieberman? In their own words:

**April 10, 1997: Christians placed a pro-Israel ad in the “New York Times,” using Biblical text for their assertion that “Jerusalem has been the spiritual and political capital of only the Jewish people for 3000 years” This preposterous statement included the signatures of Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed of Christian Coalition, E.E.McAteer of the Religious Roundtable, and Jerry Falwell, former Presidential candidate and founder of now defunct Moral Majority.

**January, 1998: Jerry Falwell helped arrange a meeting between Prime Minster Netanyahu and Christian supporters of Israel, including the Southern Baptist Convention leaders Morris Chapman and Richard L. Land, as well as John Hagee of San Antonio. Falwell told Netanyahu, “There are 200,000 evangelical pastors in America and we’re asking them all to go into their pulpits and use their influence in support of the state of Israel and the prime minister.”

**April, 1998: Falwell and Netanyahu addressed the “National Unity Coalitions for Israel“, where Falwell told attendees they must support Israel in its claim to all of Jerusalem.

**April 1998: Netanyahu addressed “Voice United for Israel” conference. He sought the pledged support of 3000 evangelists including Ralph Reed, Kay Arthur of Precepts Ministries, Jan Hanson of Women’s Aglow, and Brendt Gustavson of the National Religious Broadcasters. “We have no greater friends than the people sitting in this room”, he said.

**May 15, 1995: “Israel is headed for an inevitable nuclear exchange…their only hope of survival is a pre-emptive nuclear hit…” So said Evangelist Chuck Missler, encouraging a nuclear annihilation, on his website.

**1998: John Hagee raised $1 million for Israel to resettle Soviet Jews on Palestinian lands.

**March 1985: Jerry Falwell, speaking to a conservative Rabbinical Assembly in Miami, pledged to “mobilize 70 million conservative Christians for Israel

1971: Evangelist Mike Evans in his book, America‘s Key To Survival, wrote, “As a spokesman for Israel who has read this book, you (the reader) will be able to explain why Israel is America‘s key to survival.”

1981: Falwell was quoted as saying, “I doubt if there is an organization in America that is so committed to the Jewish People anywhere and to the State of Israel. In fact, you can not belong to the Moral Majority without committing yourself to the welfare of the State of Israel…” May 6, 1981,  New American
