With the Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives and the US Senate, it is now their turn to appoint party members to chairmanship positions on committees. One of those members is Rep. John Conyers from that bastion of urban sprawl known as Detroit. Conyers will head the House Judiciary Committee and be assured he’s not interested in protecting Americans from criminals or terrorists.
While the Democrat Party and their media lapdogs will describe him as a liberal, don’t be fooled. Conyers may seem liberal if you compare him to Cambodia’s Pol Pot or China’s Mao Tse Tung.
Here is a brief history of the 72-year old congressman’s 42 years in the US Congress:
* When Castro and his Soviet allies attempted to take over Central America during the 1980s, Conyers strongly supported the Nicaraguan Sandinista dictatorship backed by those Marxist powers. “There is more freedom and less brutality in revolutionary Nicaragua,” wrote Conyers in a letter published in the March 7, 1986 New York Times, “than in Central American countries supported by the [Ronald Reagan] Administration.”
Conyers signed a fund-raising letter for the organization Medical Aid to El Salvador that channeled medical supplies to groups and regions controlled by Cuban-backed Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) terrorist guerrillas.
* For many years, Rep. John Conyers has annually submitted a proposed a bill calling for reparations for descendants of former slaves. Now that he chairs a committee and is in the majority, he will be in a position to once again push his reparations bill which will likely upset conservatives, but will cause most Republican congressmen to fall silent.
* Conyers’ congressional office manages an Arabic version of his official Web site. Reportedly he does the bidding of these inner-city
constituents and the militant Islamist activists who feed off them.
They want to squash the Patriot Act and put a leash on the FBI agents, including stopping them from profiling Muslim suspects in
terror investigations. They also want to end the use of undisclosed evidence against suspected Arab terrorists in deportation proceedings. And the 77-year-old Conyers has vowed to deliver those changes for them.
* Conyers is the highest ranking politico working to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, the convicted murderer of a Philadelphia police officer. Conyers has been a National Executive Board member of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), which was created as a Soviet front and still embraces its Communist heritage.
* In a June 1, 1979 New York Times opinion piece he co-authored with Marcus Raskin, co-founder of the extreme left-wing think-tank the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), Conyers asserted that “government’s responsibility is to revitalize the nation’s economy through creative forms of public ownership” - in other words, through socialism.
* In January 2003 he was the only member of Congress to speak before, and lend his prestige to, an anti-war rally organized by the Marxist-Leninist, pro-North Korean front group International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Rep. Rangel also addressed the rally but not in person - via a letter read by another speaker.) Conyers embraced his comrades in this group with the same enthusiasm and support he gave during the Cold War to the Soviet-backed World Peace Council.
The Guerrilla News Network — Marxist Internet group — says that Conyers is one of the last few patriots, while MoveOn.Org wholeheartedly supports his appointment as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
