Joe Lieberman (right) stands next to Al Gore (left), the only man from a
major party 2000 Presidential ticket not to be nominated for a Golden
Jackboot Award. A recount was not necessary.
Joseph Lieberman was one of the co-authors of the Gulf-War Resolution
in 1991 and was a sponsor of the 2002 legislation "authorizing the use
of force," ie. giving the green light for the invasion of Iraq. He has
also worked hard for increased US military spending, the expansion of
NATO, and for new legislation that would increase the availability of
federal funds for religious groups.
Lieberman has served, alongside Lynne Cheney, on the National Council
of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA). ACTA, among other
things, has launched the Defense of Civilization Fund. Under the guise
of "Defending Civilization," ACTA is compiling a list of "anti-American
statements" that have been made by speakers on American college
campuses. The following is a sample of some of the people currently on the list:
The
Rev. Jesse Jackson for remarking to an audience at Harvard Law School
that America should "build bridges and relationships, not simply bombs
and walls."
Wasima
Alikhan of the Islamic Academy of Las Vegas for saying "Ignorance
breeds hate."
Joel
Beinin, a professor of Middle Eastern history at Stanford University,
for his opinion that "If Osama bin Laden is confirmed to be behind the
attacks, the United States should bring him before an international
tribunal on charges of crimes against humanity."
Lieberman has also served as Honorary Chairman of the Center for Jewish and
Christian Values. This group was founded, in part, with donations from
the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, that is the same Bradley as in
"Bradley Fighting Vehicle." The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation has
been described as the country's largest and most influential right-wing
foundation (after all, how many foundations have their own "fighting
vehicle"?).
It is not completely clear whether the Center for Jewish and
Christian Values is in favor of prayer in public schools, or is just
against public schools altogether. The founder of the Center for Jewish
and Christian Values is Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, who has a strong
ongoing working relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
