NEALZ MOVIE TIP

Phantom of the Opera.  Go see it.  Cancel that doctor's appointment .. whatever.  Just go see Phantom of the Opera.  Just incredible.

WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR

Elections are nearing in Iraq, and the closer we get the more Muslims kill Muslims.  Muslim so-called insurgents are killing their fellow countrymen .. killing Arabs and Muslims ... all in an attempt to keep them from voting.  Let this sink in a bit.  These people are killing their own neighbors to keep them from expressing their own desires as to what type of government they wish to have and who they want to lead that government.  And what of the people who are targeted? What about those who wish to be free? Even while they're targeted by their fellow Arabs and Muslims, Iraqis are stepping forward eager to serve in the Iraqi army and police forces, eager to protect their newfound voting privilege.

Meanwhile, in this country ... we have so many people who are rooting not for the Iraqis who wish to be free, but for those who attack and kill --- all in hopes that George Bush will be saddled with a failure.

BLUE BRACELETS

We have this female in New York City who doesn't want to be associated with being an American. Those are her  words. She's ashamed of America, and ashamed to be an American. The reason?  Because George Bush is president.  You see, she voted for John Kerry, and he lost.  Her name is Berns Rothchild, and she's come up with an idea of blue bracelets; blue bracelets fashioned after the popular LiveStrong yellow bracelets you see everywhere.  The blue bracelets say "Count me Blue" and are are supposed to be an indication that you did not vote for George Bush.

Fair enough.  No, I'm not upset by this.  I think it's a fantastic idea. I want it to spread. I want every person out there who voted for John Kerry, every person who donated money to his campaign, to end up wearing one of these blue bracelets. This can only be good for America, and here are some of the reasons why:

1.  The blue bracelets will easily identify people who believe that America is great because of its government instead of freedom.

2.  The bracelets will identify people who believe that any price paid for freedom is too much, and that living peacefully as a slave is better than fighting to be free.

3.  The bracelets will identify people who believe in the mob, and not in the individual, and who have enlisted wholeheartedly in the war against individualism.

4.  We will be able to identify the people who believe that America should be a country of equal results rather than a system that guarantees equal opportunity.

5.  People who believe that the government should own and control our retirement accounts will be identified by that flash of blue on their wrists.

6.  We will be able to recognize those who believe that accomplishment should be punished while laziness and poor decision making should be rewarded.

I could go on  ... but were running out of time here.  I know my listeners can come up with more on the program today.

FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL EQUALITY?

That's the call from Jesse Jackson today.  Again, we'll talk more about this on the show, but The Sloganmaster seems to think that our society is not just unless everyone enjoys an equal economic standing.  Tell you what, Mr. Race Pimp ... when people pay equal attention to their education opportunities and work as hard as the next person to achieve financial success, you may see your dream come true.  Until then we'll just go with the Boortz definition of "justice."  Justice is when a person gets what they deserve.

THE MEDIA AND CHARLES GRANER

Immediately after Army Specialist Charles Graner was sentenced Saturday to a decade in prison for his shenanigans at Abu Ghraib prison, the media fanned out across Iraq to find out what the Iraqis think.  Their sole purpose and mission: to further the anti-American bias in the news coverage of Iraq and completely blow the situation out of proportion.

"Many Iraqis say Graner sentence too lenient," said one Reuters headline.  Even if Graner had been sentenced to death and taken out back and shot, the headline would still have been the same.  Because of their leftist tilt and anti-Bush hatred, the media will stop at  nothing in this country to portray the situation in Iraq as an out-of-control failure.

You can also see it in the headlines leading up to the elections in 2 weeks.  Headline after headline and story after story tell us that elections don't have a chance of succeeding....they're all doomed to failure.  What if the Sunnis don't vote?  What about the violence?  Surely the United States cannot succeed! 

The facts are the facts: the mainstream American media (except for Fox News) has an overwhelming desire to see our nation defeated in the war on terror. 

NEXT STOP ON THE AXIS OF EVIL


The New Yorker magazine reported yesterday that the United States Military has been scouting locations for bombing in Iran.   Apparently on the list of targets: nuclear, chemical and missile facilities.  This supposedly has been going on since last summer, and the number of sites is somewhere north of 36.

Good news!  It's nice to know that we haven't been put to sleep on this by the appeasement faction of the Democratic party.

In some ways, Iran represents a greater threat than either Afghanistan or Iraq did.  We simply cannot allow the power-hungry, psychotic mullahs of Iran to possess a nuclear weapon.  They either already have such weapons or are very close to bringing them online.  They have also said they intend to keep and bear nuclear weapons.  In addition, they express their hatred of the United States on a regular basis.

They're also not giving them up.  We've tried diplomatic channels.  We should identify the locations of the factories, reactors and stockpiles and bomb them back to the stone age (where they really already are, except for the weapons sites.)  One nuke in the hands of an Islamic terrorist could annihilate an entire American city.

Do you really want to take that chance?  For some reason, too many of our fellow countrymen do. Remember, sometimes you have to make a decision on the basis of what might happen if you fail to act.  Those are the truly difficult decisions to make.  This is one of those times. 

INDONESIA BACKPEDALS


Remember last week when the peace-loving Muslims that rule Indonesia decreed that the United States had to be out of their country by a certain date?  They didn't like those evil Americans delivering all of that tsunami relief aid.  We are, after all, the Great Satan.  Even if we're helping them.

Well, it would appear that there has been a change of heart.  After meeting with Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Indonesia has announced that there is no deadline for foreign troops to leave their soil, that they'll just try and take over the relief work by the end of March.  So why the U-turn?

Because Wolfowitz reminded the Indonesians that there is a ban on arm sales to their country, and if they want to see about lifting it, they'd better play nice.  So they did.  But I thought all Muslim countries hated the United States and didn't ever want to business with us?

I guess not.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

George Bush says  there's no need to hold anyone accountable for the war in Iraq because the American people have already made their choice in the election and thus have endorsed his administration's policies.  Did you hear that?  That's the sound of every Bush-hating leftist's head shooting off their shoulders.

Apparently CBS has approached Perky Katie Couric about the opening on the CBS Evening News.  Not good enough...apparently they're also talking to Ted Koppel.  That might not be bad.

President Bush's approval rating has risen to 53%.  The media and the liberals are still scratching their heads.  The worse they think the war in Iraq is going, the higher his approval rating goes up.  Back to the drawing board.

The Democrats' pounding of Alberto Gonzales over not extending Geneva Convention protections to terrorists shows just how out of touch they are.  Mark Steyn says you can't extend civilized protocol to Islamic terrorists.

If you want to know what George Bush thinks about foreign policy, he has recommended a book to read.  William Kristol takes a look at that book, and the challenges facing the president's second term.

Looks like Howard Dean was paying off bloggers when he was running for president.  Will the media give this the same coverage they gave the Armstrong Williams case?  Of course not.  Democrats always get a pass.

Les Moonves, chairman of CBS, says '60 Minutes Wednesday' will continue with Dan Rather on the staff, provided the show's not canceled.  Michael Goodwin says that sounds suspiciously like a kiss off for Document Dan.

Even an ex-CBS News president can no longer watch CBS News because of the bias.  Sounds like there might be a problem....but wait, the independent report says there's no political bias.  Yeah right.

There's a new book out about free speech on campus, and Professor Mike Adams says it's the best book of 2004.  He recounts a situation where it would've come in handy and has all the details.

The fight over President Bush's policies does not extend to just the next four years.  Michael Barone points out that Bush and the Democrats are fighting over what the United States will look like in 20, 30 or 40 years.

Robert Novak takes a look at Michael Chertoff, the man President Bush has nominated to head the Department of Homeland Security.  He might be non-controversial, but he has an interesting background.

Most liberals don't think the war on terror is a real war, and they don't take the threat seriously.  John Leo has discovered that liberals are even so delusional that they think another terrorist attack won't even do any real damage.

Are Islamic killer-terrorists bringing their penchant for violence to the neighborhoods of New York and New Jersey? It looks like a Christian family was slaughtered by Islamic radicals http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/38704.htm .here. At home.

In America.
