Click here for details--- put together your foursome and we'll see you in the Caribbean for golf in just three weeks! WHY WAS HEALTH CARE SUCH A HOT ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES? If you watched that sad, uninspiring debacle known as the Democrat's presidential debate Saturday night you can understand the sense of despair that exists in leftist circles. Not one of these candidates is creating any real passion in the electorate. Howard Dean? A leftist nutcase. Kuchinich? He's the guy who ran Cleveland into bankruptcy. John Kerry? He has one campaign line: "I served in Vietnam, and you didn't" One issue that seems hot - and will remain so - is health care. Richard Gephardt has proposed one of the most insanely expensive government spending programs you could imagine ... all in the name of universial health care. Why is this issue so important to Democrats? Control. Control and dependency. If you take a look at the entire breadth of Democratic policy proposals you find one common thread. Every single Democratic idea for a government program will inevitably lead to greater citizen dependency on government, and greater government control of citizens. This is no truer anywhere than it is in the area of health care. Democrats and other big-government lovers know that when you control a person's access to health care, you control that person absolutely. You literally have him by the short hairs. Democrats hide their power grab in the verbiage of "concern" over "the availability and cost of health care." Sounds good at election time, but it doesn't stand up to logical argument. There are many ways the health care costs could be contained and the availability of affordable health care expanded. We could expand medical savings plans, make health insurance premiums deductible to the individual, end idiotic and unreasonable mandated coverages, grand broader practice authority to nurse practitioners and other medical personnel. Remember, though; the primary goal here is not to improve the delivery systems for health care, nor to make it more affordable. The primary goal is dependency and control. THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE I know, you probably didn't see it. Most networks rant it at obscure hours, few carried it live. If you did watch it you might have noticed something interesting. Virtually all of the candidates slammed George Bush on his "handling" of the economy. They all blamed Bush for our economic woes, such as they are. Oddly, though, not one single candidate told us what their economic plan would be. The only suggestions these so-called "candidate" could come up with was eliminating Bush's tax cuts. Nothing else. Par for the course. UH OH .. NOW WE'RE LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT IRAQI MUSEUM Pity the poor left. In the days following the liberation of Iraq leftists finally thought they had an issue they could exploit. The profoundly stupid and uncultured George Bush had failed to protect the Iraqi national museum. The entire history of the beginning of civilization had disappeared with the looting of tens of thousands of priceless artifacts from the museum .. all because of George Bush. Well ... looks like another oops for the left. The Chicago Tribune has now lowered that estimate of the number of precious antiquities looted from the Baghdad museum from 10,000 to ... .. 38. That's right, 38. The single most valuable artifact is a bowl. The remainder of the artifacts was found in the museum ... largely unscathed. By the way, coalition forces also found a gunner's next inside the museum. That's right. An Iraqi sniper was using the museum to fire on coalition troops. Bush probably put him there to give us an excuse to destroy the museum, but something went wrong along the way. LET'S OPEN A MOVING COMPANY IN NEW YORK The New York Legislature is getting ready to slap a 7.5% tax surcharge on all New York residents who earn more than $100,000 a year. If I read the Washington Post story correctly New York City wants to people with over $500,000 a year in income with another 7.7% surcharge. On top of all of this one-half of New York's counties have increased property taxes by double-digits. Sounds like some folks may be looking to relocate. Now I think I know why Rush has moved to Florida. Sean! You ready to move back to Georgia? STRANGE THOUGHT PROCESSES I was reading a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution yesterday about run-down rental housing being used by Hispanic laborers ... most of whom are in this country illegally. Right there in the middle of that story by AJC reporter Paul Kaplan I found this paragraph: The term "illegal alien" has become something of a misnomer. Are you really illegal if no one in authority ever calls you on it? Well, let's think about that. Let's say you kill a stranger on the street and steal his wallet. At that point you are a murderer and a thief, right? Well, maybe not? Maybe Paul Kaplan would propose that you don't become a murderer when you kill someone. You only become a murderer when someone "in authority calls you on it." Let's say you decide not to bathe for a few days, nor use deodorant. Your essence could make a spy talk. Do you smell good until someone in authority tells you stink? Yeah, that works. We'll go ahead and run with that. OH COME ON. THIS GUY'S STRETCHING THINGS A BIT, ISN'T HE? By now most of you have probably heard about that Alabama has fired its football coach. It seems he went to a strip club in Pensacola. I guess you're just not supposed to take those poor homeless strippers back to your hotel room. Well, as they say ... no good deed goes unpunished. That prompts this letter from an Alabama listener: Well, Alabama has done it again. The head coach at UAB has been fired for going to a strip club in Pensacola. If I want to buy a Playboy Magazine I have to go to Birmingham or Georgia because it is illegal to sell them within 50 miles of where I live. There is a state law against possession of a state lottery ticket whether from Georgia, Florida or any other state. Possession carries a penalty of 90 days in jail. To make matters worse if a person comes into Alabama across the state line and brings a ticket in and gives it to his mother or someone else, that person gets 90 days for possession and the person who brings it across the state line gets 180 days in jail. God free us from these lunatics! OK, folks. This guy's laying it on a bit thick, isn't he? It's not really a crime to possess an out-of-state lottery ticket in Alabama. Oh, I know it's illegal to have a full set of teeth, but a lottery ticket? Tell me it ain't so. READING ASSIGNMENTS Friday's Best of the Web from The Wall Street Journal http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110003446 Kofi Annan, the Grand Poobah of the United Nations had quite a lot to say about how the U.S. handled the looting in Iraq following the ousting of Saddam Hussein. Fine, but you did hear what happened when workers walked off the job at the U.N. headquarters, didn't you? http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,449436,00.html It was twenty years ago that we were warned that the "intellectual, moral and spiritual strength of our people" were threatened by a failing education system. Since then it's been two decades of mediocrity. http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pdupont/?id=110003445 And now for a trip into the dark, humid and rancid inner recesses of the mind of an anti-capitalist leftist. Read about Guy Taylor from Globalise Resistance. Believe me, folks, you are going to be amazed at the third-grade mentality of this socialist idiot. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/2976839.stm Pentagon Don says he's confident that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction will be found. We need to consider grief counseling for liberals when this happens. http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030505-10543115.htm Democrats are on a "Borking" rampage in Washington. How many current Bush nominees are they filibustering? http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/rbartley/?id=110003452 This "unofficial spokesman for North Korea" says that the squatty little gargoyle has 100 missiles with nuclear weapons aimed at U.S. cities. I don't believe it's true. If I did believe it was true I would be of the opinion that it was time to take the little bastard out. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20030504/wl_asia_afp/nkorea_us_australia_030504052449 A school textbook was rejected because there was a story about a blind mountain climber who scaled Mount McKinley. Why? Because the book suggested that blind people are at a disadvantage because they cannot see. It's time to stop the politically correct cleansing of our government school textbooks. This editorial from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/s_132488.html Every law school has one, and at the University of Georgia it's law professor Donald Wilkes. One what? One illogical, hard core leftist who seeks refuge in academia because of the problems he would have actually earning a living in the private sector. Wilkes is upset because Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is going to deliver the commencement speech at the law school this year. Blacks, you know, just aren't permitted to be anything by liberals. It's a new law, I guess. http://www.redandblack.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/05/02/3eb27d3cee269 Remember I told you about those 20 Transportation Security Administration recruiters who spent two months in a resort hotel in Telluride .. all just hire 60 airport screeners? Well, looks like someone is looking into that story! http://news4colorado.com/investigates/local_story_121192514.html We take you now to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma .. where you are not allowed to discussion religion, politics, economics or finance on the city bus. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32351 Thomas Friedman sure has this one right: "One senses, though, that liberals so detest Mr. Bush that they refuse to acknowledge the simple good that has come from ending Saddam's tyranny - good for Iraqis and good for America, because it will inhibit other terrorist-supporting regimes." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/04/opinion/04FRIE.html Hillary in 2004? Hey, according to Robert Novak, it could happen! Well, whether it's 2004 or 2008, American voters are going to have to face down this fascist sooner or later. http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-hillary04.html Can you believe it? NASCAR succumbed to Jesse Jackson's extortion techniques. One quarter of a million NASCAR dollars paid to Jackson to keep him quiet. How long before the National Hockey League atones for its lack of black players? http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/74808.htm |
