SCREEN ME FOR WHAT?

Here's a story that isn't getting as much coverage as I think it should.  Yesterday World Net Daily was reporting that in July George Bush will announce a sweeping new mental health initiative that will recommend mental health screening for every U.S. citizen. 

In 2002 Bush set up something called the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.  The goal was to study the U.S. mental health service delivery system.  Soon the commission will deliver its report, complete with a suggestion that government schools would be in a "key position" to screen 52 million unfortunate children who attend government schools and the 6 million adults who work there.  The commission is going to recommend that this screening be linked somehow with treatment .. including medications.

Are you comfortable with the idea of your friendly local government school screening your child for mental problems, and then recommending or perhaps even requiring certain medications? 

Now .. without delving into details, here's something else you need to know.  The commission will recommend something called The Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TAMP) as a model for the medical treatment of Americans, and government school students, found to be suffering from medical problems.  There is evidently some relationship between huge pharmaceutical companies and TAMP.  One of these companies, Eli Lilly, has some rather extensive relationships with George Bush.  George Bush (41) was once a member of the Eli Lilly board of directors, and George Bush (43) appointed a Lilly chief executive to the Homeland Security Council. 

I'll have much more to say on this if and when the predicted initiative sees the light of day.  For now, just consider the idea of your local government school screening your child for mental diseases.  And also consider where and how you are going to receive your screening!

SOUTH KOREAN BEHEADED

Just like they said they would, Al-Qaeda has murdered another innocent human being in Iraq.  This time it was South Korean Kim Sun-il.  Again, these bloodthirsty, vicious Islamic bastards did just what they said they would.  Are you going to listen the next time they say they want to get a nuclear device and set it off in the United States?  Are you convinced yet that we are engaged in a world war against Islamic domination? You leftists out there still think terrorism is a law enforcement problem?

Liberals don't understand that for 25 years, we have tried it their way.  Every time something has happened, we have ignored it. No more. These Islamic terrorists need to be hunted down and killed. Every last one of them.  They're like cockroaches...you don't want to kill one of them, or most of them, or a few of them, you want them ALL dead.  Every last one of these cold-blooded insane psychopaths.

Like I've said before, this is World War IV....and the sooner people realize it, the better.  There can be no negotiated peace with these fanatical extremists. Nothing less than their total destruction will make us safe.

So what do we do while they keep taking hostages, and threatening to murder them by chopping off their heads?  The governments involved have a policy of not negotiating with terrorists.  In other words, we ignore them.  They're still getting what they want, though.  Publicity.  They know their demands are not going to be met.  As long as the anti-American Al-Jazeera gleefully broadcasts their videos, they've won.  They are ahead of the game, no matter what we do. They're ahead of the game until they are found and killed.  That would put them behind. 

CONSIDER THIS POSSIBILITY

The Islamic terrorists* seem to be increasingly fond of the tactic of kidnapping someone, making a demand, and then beheading their victim when the demand isn't met.  So far we have two beheaded Americans and one South Korean.  All of this doesn't seem to be agitating the American press all that much.  Today the story is still about the Abu Ghraib prison.

So .. consider this possibility.  About one week before the presidential election these Islamic goons kidnap a few Americans.  To up the ante they even kidnap a few Americans on their own soil.  Then the Islamofascists will make their demand .. that the American voters vote George Bush out of office or the hostages will be beheaded.  Do you think that this is just an outlandish idea from a depraved mind? Well, four months ago what would you have said about a suggestion that Islamists making video tapes showing heads being sawed off?

IRAN FEELING MIGHTY FRISKY ... AND WHY NOT?

Iran is refusing to cooperate with international inspectors who want a closer look at its nuclear program.  Last week Iran told the world community that it was just going to have to accept Iran as a member of the nuclear community.  That means accepting Iran as a country with nuclear weapons.  We also heard last week that Iran was amassing troops on its border with Iraq in anticipation of the transfer of power to the Iraqi government next week.  What's that all about?  This week Iran has taken a small group of British soldiers captive.  The soldiers strayed into Iranian territory while trying to deliver a patrol boat to Iraqi river police.   It appears as if Iran thinks itself to be somewhat bulletproof right now.  I wonder where they got that idea?  From American liberals and the Democratic party perhaps?

NAILING THE HIGH-ACHIEVERS

I have a sneaking suspicion that there soon may be some really nice homes on the market for very attractive prices in New Jersey.  The legislature has now passed Governor Jim McGreevey's "millionaire tax."  If you live in New Jersey and your household income is over $500,000 a year your state income taxes will now go up by 41%.  This, by the way, from a governor (a Democrat, naturally) who ran on a pledge of no tax increases.

In the past few years gross taxable income in New Jersey has been falling.  In 2001 and 2002 almost 100% of the $9.6 billion decrease in taxable income came from New Jersey residents who had a household income over $500,000.  Now the taxes on these people are going up.  It might be a good time to own a high-end moving company in the Garden State.  Look for the high-producers to look for greener pastures .. pastures where they aren't the target for class-warfare income-redistributionist Democrats.

THE REVIEWS ARE UGLY

Yeah ... not good news for Clinton's autobiography.  You already know about the devastating review from The New York Times.  Now other newspapers are having their say.

USA Today:  "My Life is not a great book.  It's not even a good book."

Orlando Sentinel:  "... goes on and on and on without delivering much substance."

The Associated Press compares the book to "being locked in a small room with a very gregarious man who insists on reading his entire appointment book day-by-day beginning in 1946."

New York Times:  "Sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull."

AND WHAT DOES CLINTON THINK ABOUT JOHN KERRY

Not much.  There are very few references in Clinton's book about the presumed Democratic Party candidate, and not one single reference referring to any great legislative of policy accomplishment from The Poodle.  That very well might be because there is no great legislative or policy accomplishment to highlight!  Clinton does mention Kerry's service in Vietnam, however.  That, I'm sure, will be startling news to most readers.  Who knew?

CLOSE ONLY COUNTS IN DANCING AND HAND GRENADES

Is Bill Clinton actually bragging that he came closer to nabbing Osama Bin Laden than anyone else?  So what?  Yeah, he came close.  The Sudanese government offered to had Bin Laden over, and Clinton said no!  Not that's pretty close, all right.  Close enough that a simple "yes" would have saved thousands of American lives.   Ahhh ... the great Clinton legacy of fighting terrorism.  He could have had Bin Laden if he had only said "yes." 

Fark reveals the Clinton presidential portraits that didn't make the cut. More.

PUSH BUTTON PLUNDER

The federal government's get-out-of-work-free-coupons (food stamps) are going all-electronic.  The program is being replaced by something called EBT, which stands for 'electronic benefits transfer.'  So basically the program by which taxpayer money is wasted on parasites who are too lazy to provide for themselves will now become easier and more convenient.  Welcome to the United States of America.

The food stamp program, which subsidizes the food purchases of 23 million, is a fraud and a rip-off of the American public.  But nooooo...it's mean spirited to say that!  Well guess what...the truth hurts.  How many times have you been in line at the grocery store and seen some welfare brood mare with her litter checking out with all of this expensive stuff you can't afford to buy, and then she pays for it with her food stamps.  But now...we don't want to stigmatize people with food stamps.....let's give them a credit card!  That will fix things!

Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said yesterday that the term "food stamps" no longer has the right ring for the program.  She says her department is going to ask for suggestions for a new name "to better reflect the mission of this vital program."  Since the mission of her program is seize money from people who actually earn it and give it to those that don't, I have a suggestion for a new name:

BILL ADMITS IN BOOK HE LIED TO GRAND JURY

Buried within Bill Clinton's phone book-sized book of boredom is this nugget:  he changes the timeline of the Monica Lewinksy affair.  Big whoop, right?  Well but that doesn't square with what he told a grand jury in 1998.

In the book, he states that he got it on with Lewinsky during the government shutdown in 1995.  That wasn't his story when he testified before the grand jury.  Back then he wanted the start date to be sometime in 1996, when Lewinsky was actually a government employee.  He didn't want it to look like he was taking advantage of an intern. 

So ... another instance of perjury.  Another lie under oath.  Now we know of at least two ... and we are only left to wonder how many more there were. 

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Mail call!  It's a letter from Saddam!

Who knew it would come to this ... when Janet Jackson exposed her funbag on national TV?  Now the Senate has voted 99-1 for huge new fines against broadcasters who air "indecency."  Could this just be a first step to new government censorship?

What do all of the terrorists who have attacked the United States in the past several decades have in common?  They're all Muslims, explains Walter Williams.

Michelle Malkin says that once upon a time there were actually people in Hollywood who loved America.  Sorry, folks.  Hollywood box-office patriotism is quite dead.

Bill Clinton got himself all worked up over Monica Lewinsky during an interview with the BBC.  Not very presidential, is it?  Then again, he never has been.

None other than sometimes liberal Christopher Hitchens has raked Michael Moore over the coals. This is a very good column written by a renowned liberal.  It  exposes Moore as the liar that he is.

So how are things looking for President Bush's re-election chances?  Pretty good, says John Podhoretz, who says Bush's chances look pretty good.

Despite the media and the Democrats' best efforts, the link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda does exist. Here is a detailed report -- a report the left would prefer you not read --  from Stephen Hayes.

The Poodle's election strategy seems to be to lay low and stay out of sight.  Dick Morris says with Bill Clinton stealing the limelight, that just might work.

After 9/11, the best way to contain rogue states against the spread of weapons of mass destruction is through pre-emptive action.  Tod Lindberg explains.

The media continues to broadcast the lie that there was no link between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.  Paul Greenberg says they still don't get it.

Still don't get the Saddam-Al-Qaeda link?  Cal Thomas explains it for you.

Liberals who were in favor of the war in Iraq, are now getting cold feet.  Jonah Goldberg explains how they've gone wobbly.

Should we believe Saudi Arabia's promise to stamp out terrorism?  Not really, says Joel Mowbray, who says this promise is about as meaningless as the others.

So what does Brent Bozell think of Bill Clinton's memoirs?  The title says it all: "Bill's boring book of bunk."

Looking for some good books to give your children to read this summer in order to de-program them from the leftist government school teachings?  Thomas Sowell has a list.

There was a time where Hollywood rose to the occasion during wartime and made patriotic films.  Michelle Malkin says that is unlikely to happen in this day and age.

Here's a recently discovered, formerly classified, Al-Qaeda training video.
