| Tuesday -- July 5, 2005 FIGHTING POVERTY What a weekend! What a holiday! Millions of Americans celebrating the very freedom they fear, and that nice man Bob Geldof telling us evil Americans what we should be doing with the money we work so hard for! Why, we should be sending it to Africa, that's what. Lets give thanks that Live 8 is over. What a bunch of sanctimonious, self-righteous, narcissistic jerk-offs. They top off their great multi-venue circle jerk Sunday with a demand that the United States cough up some more money for something they refer to as "aid and justice for Africa." These rock stars have a goal. They are demanding that the evil United States cough up 0.7% of its gross domestic product and send it to Africa. What these footstools don't grasp is that the 0.7% isn't theirs to demand or theirs to distribute as they see fit. That money belongs to the men and women of the United States who got up every morning and went out and damned well earned it. Personally, I don't give a flying fornication just how much of our money they think should be sent to Africa. I dare say that the average sheetrock installer in Sheboygan donates a greater percentage of his earnings to charity than do these insipid rock stars. And just what is it about Africa? Here is a continent with an incredible abundance of natural resources -- and a history that speaks to nothing but poverty. So, these Live 8 guitar players want to do something about poverty in Africa? Maybe they should be demanding the return of land in Zimbabwe to the white farmers from whom it was stolen! Just a few decades ago Zimbabwe was one of Africa's richest breadbaskets. Zimbabwean farmers fed their own country and many of their neighboring countries with the food from their farms and ranches. Then along comes their new exalted ruler ... the great Robert Mugabe. He sends his goon squads out to steal the land from the white farmers - murdering many of them - and turns those farms over to his revolutionary soldiers. What happens next? Hunger, that's what. Now Zimbabwe can't even feed its own people, let alone the citizens of neighboring African countries. To make matters worse, Mugabe is now engaged in a campaign to destroy the homes of poor citizens in Zimbabwe's capitol so that they will move back out into the bush where they won't be so visible and problematic. So ... did you hear one of these rock stars even hint that the United States should do something about Mugabe? Are you kidding? Sure, they like want to fight like poverty and like all that .. but that doesn't mean that they're ever going to like say one like negative word about any of the like dictators who like steal so much of the aid money and like keep their own people in poverty. Oh .. and here's something else that these brilliant rock stars you won't hear about. I'm talking about the birth rate in Africa. In Africa, as in America and in so many other parts of the world, the people who can least afford to raise children are the people with the highest pregnancy rates. It is considered to be gravely politically incorrect in America to ever suggest that a woman who cannot afford to raise a child should do something to prevent pregnancy. It seems you can't address this situation in Africa either. The solution for African women having children they can't afford to raise is to go to the United States and confiscate the money needed to raise them. The problems faced by Africa are largely cultural. Though our illustrious rock stars wouldn't touch this, the dominant African culture is one of irresponsible reproduction, tribal warfare, submission to dictatorial despots, anti-capitalistic governments and unprotected sex leading to rampant disease. Live 8 isn't going to change this, and either is confiscating more American wealth to be poured into this mess. The answer to African poverty may well be to shed this burden of political correctness and to start calling the shots over there as we see them. If these intellectually superior rock stars really want to do something about poverty and justice in Africa a good first step might be to ask the Western world to forcibly remove Robert Mugabe from power in Zimbabwe and return the farming land to its rightful owners. Yeah ... like that's going to happen. AND A WORD ABOUT THE G8 PROTESTORS It looks like the cops had their hands full with the anti-capitalist protestors at the G8 conference in Scotland over the weekend. It's no wonder, after all one of these protestors told a reporter that they wear masks because violence is a way of life for them. As the G8 summit proceeds through the week I'm sure we'll see more and more of these insipid protestors ... hopefully with a full compliment of bloody noses. Come on, folks. Just take a look at these mindless myrmidons. Do they look like people that you would ever willingly trust with any meaningful responsibilities? Oh sure, we have the occasional leftist icon out there getting some face time, but for the most part these raggedy anti-capitalist protestors are college-aged children who have never had to rely on their own income-earning abilities to pay the rent or to put food on the table. They're a ragtag bunch caught in that magic age where you know it all and where you have answers to all of the questions plaguing civilization. It's really a pity that the media is going to pay them so much attention as they go on their destructive rampages this week. AND WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM THE G8 SUMMIT? President Bush is headed for Glenneagles, Scotland where he will attend the G8 Summit. This is the meeting of the world's largest 8 industrial nations, including The United States, Britain, Russia, France, Germany, Canada, Italy and Japan. Tony Blair, as this year's host gets to set the agenda. The two big topics: aid to Africa and global warming. But damaging the American economy is just exactly
what much of the rest of the world wants! Don't ever forget that poll
taken in Europe a few months ago ... the poll which showed that 58% of Europeans
want to see the United States weakened. Kyoto is as good a way to do that
as any. THE TRUE CELEBRITIES? While much of the world was going ga-ga over the Live 8 rock acts and watching the know-it-al-been-everywhere-done-everything protestors at the G8 summit, a group of NASA scientists showed us what true skill and accomplishment really is. After atrip of 215 million miles these scientists scored a bulls eye when they sent a probe crashing into the surface of a comet. The accomplishment is much like hitting a bullet with a BB at 1000 yards. Not only did they hit the comet .. but they positioned a camera platform in space a short distance from the comet to record the hit! The purpose of the exercise was to explose some of the interior of the comet to scientific scrutiny in hopes that some more can be learned about the origin of our universe. But enough about these incredible scientists and their accomplishment. Let's get back to Brad and Angelina. I wonder what wonderful thing they're going to accomplish today? LINING UP FOR AND AGAINST PROPERTY SEIZURES Remember what I told you just a few days after the ruling. Politicians, especially politicians who like stronger government and weaker citizens, will love it. The people, it seems, are of a different mind. Across the country the outrage over the Supreme Court's eminent domain decision has refused to die down. In many states local politicians are feeling the heat and taking action to prevent eminent domain seizures for private development. Now .. let's take Georgia as a case in point. In my home state Republicans are talking about imposing a ban on the use of eminent domain for economic development. Democrats are holding back, fearful of taking some sort of newfound right away from local jurisdictions. I illustrate the situation in Georgia because there's an interesting added element here. Just five months ago, four months before the Supreme Court's Kelo v. New London decision, Georgia Republicans were engaged in one of the boldest eminent domain schemes I've seen. When the Georgia General Assembly convened in February virtually the entire Georgia Republican leadership was united behind a piece of legislation that would have created a secret fast track for seizing land and turning it over to private developers through eminent domain. So ... five months ago Georgia Republicans loved the idea of eminent domain for private development. Now they're against it. Democrats, of course, still like the idea because it weakens the individual and empowers government. Is there a party out there that could have been depended on to protect private property rights both before and after Kelo? Yes. That would the the Libertarian Party. Time to take notice. A WORD TO THE ABORTO-OBSESSIVES OUT THERE The president has a Supreme Court nomination to make. This nomination is for the renowned "swing vote." Many "conservatives" are already taking shots at any potential Bush nominees whom they think might not vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Well .. here's a hint for you. You can yell, scream, write, march, protest and threaten all you want to. You can hold your breath until you turn blue and stomp your feet. Hunger strikes? Go for it! Chose your favorite form of protest and social activism, and while you're doing all of that you can go to the bank on this: Abortion is never going to become illegal in this country again. The absolute most you can ever hope for is some sort of judicial pass given to a parental notification law and, perhaps, some tighter restrictions on abortions during the final trimester. That's it. That's all you'll ever get. You can sabotage as many good, solid Bush appointees as you care to. You can destroy appointees who might vote to stem the ever-widening powers of the federal government ... but you will never succeed in making abortion illegal in this country; unless, that is, you somehow manage somewhere down the line to get the dictatorial theocracy that so many of you so earnestly desire. This may come as a surprise to some of you, but our country faces far more important legal and constitutional issues far more crucial and important than giving government the ultimate power to exercise that kind of control over a woman's ovaries. Come on, folks. Don't you think that you can figure out a way to turn your obsession over controlling your women-folk into something a bit more constructive? WHO WILL BUSH APPOINT? We don't know yet. But at this point there is one thing of which you can be sure. If Bush appoints someone who can be described as a conservative or who believes in a strict interpretation of the Constitution, the media will quickly pick up on the left's charge that this appointee is an "extremist" and is "out of the mainstream." From the moment United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor sent her resignation letter to the White House Friday and got out of Dodge, the left and their army of interest groups stand ready to implement their long-held plan: the character assassination of whomever George Bush nominates to replace her. KIDS AND TELEVISION New research is out detailing the detrimental affects of planting your kids in front of the television. The results of the study are plain, easy to understand and not surprising. The more television children watch the worse the do in school, the fatter they get, and the more aggressive they become. There ... that's about it. Now, lets divide parents into two camps. Those who will see the results of this research and start to limit the television their kids watch, and those who won't do a damned thing about it. The children of the parents who care will become the evil, hated, wealthy Americans of tomorrow. The children of the parents who don't care will contribute to the ever-growing number of Americans who are becoming more and more dependent on government. There's a reason they call television the "plug-in-drug." READING ASSIGNMENTS Independence Day. Bah. Humbug. The average American is about as dedicated to the idea of independence as I am to helping The Hildabeast get elected in 2008. Ed Feulner of The Heritage Foundation wonders if the American tradition of self-reliance is on the way out. At last! We've found them! Here are the people with all the answers. Here is the small and select group of people who can solve the problems of world poverty, disease and discord. We need to immediately replace all heads of state of all industrialized western countries with these people and in no time at all everything will be just hunky dory. From the Discovery Channel. Here's a battery of tests on various "myths." I scored an 80% on the Independence Day myths. Then I took the Pregnancy Myths test and scored 100%. There's something wrong here. Give a few of these a try! Hat tip to Fark for this one. The Old Drunk will fight any Supreme Court nominee that doesn't toe the leftist line. This concerned Scottsdale father thinks that his 8-month-old baby might be gay! Oh, the humanity! The stars who performed at Live 8 got $12,000 "goodie bags" filled with all sorts of luxury items. That should help people starving in Africa. Not. Heather's reading assignments: Why some illegals may pose
a threat. Over 100 cameras to watch Discovery blast-off
