WHY DON'T WE JUST LET THEM SOLVE IT ALL?

Americans reacted with awe yesterday as they learned that student body presidents from 150 of America's colleges and universities signed a petition opposing any private accounts within the Social Security System.

No .. not really.  I suppose that those Americans who reacted at all, just yawned.  University student body presidents.  Wow!  Now there's a powerful statement!

Come on my friends, let's get serious here.  Do we really care what these self-important student body presidents have to say?  Just a few years ago they were asking their mommies if they could use the car.  Most of them, I dare say, are still living off their parents as they work their way to their liberal arts degrees.  Virtually none of them have spent one minute in the last year thinking about planning for their own retirement.  Few of them have investment accounts of any time ... and most are, at best, working part time jobs. Yet they have all the answers on just what needs to be done about Social Security.

These children have learned their lessons well.  By the time they become big-shot student body presidents they have spent about 15 or 16 years being educated by the government.  They have no private sector experience ... only government experience ... and it shows.  It will take several years working in the private sector, raising a household, planning and executing budgets --- basically living as free Americans --- before these kids realize that government is more often the problem than the solution.

In the meantime ... why don't we just tap their immense talent and knowledge?  Here's an idea!  Let's get these 150 esteemed student body presidents, send them to some nice resort hotel somewhere and assign them the task of solving all of our nation's major problems.  We need to tap this talent while it's hot!  These kids are going to get out of school soon.  They'll be applying for their first jobs.  They'll be the rookies in the workplace, not the big men and women on campus. In short order they're going to be learning that they don't, in fact, know it all.  So ... we need to get to them while they still do ... know it all, that is.  So, let's set them up at some nice conference facility and charge them with the responsibility of solving the country's major ills.  After they get through solving the Social Security mess without destroying out economy, they can work on Medicare, erections for senior citizens, protecting America from terrorism, preventing red light runners, capturing and rehabilitating Osama bin Laden and other ills that plague society.

Think about it folks!  These kids, during these few years when they actually do have all the answers, are a great untapped source.  Let's not let them go to waste.

WHY MUSLIMS HATE AMERICA

According to a report released yesterday, anti-American feelings are widespread in the Muslim world.  The survey, based on focus groups conducted in Morocco, Egypt and Indonesia among college-educated men and women, found that most Muslims hate us.  No surprise there...but the reasons are quite striking.

Many Muslims said they admired Osama Bin Laden, while they despised George Bush.  That's quite interesting, because in the last four years, no one man on Earth has freed more Muslims from tyranny than United States President George W. Bush.  Talk about a lack of gratitude --- or maybe there's just something in the Islamic psyche that loves living in tyranny!

All of the Muslims in the focus groups opposed the war in Iraq.  Looks like they weren't too concerned about their fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being beaten, raped and tortured by Saddam Hussein.  I suppose it was all worth it, after all anything is better than the infidels getting credit for freeing anyone.

When asked what they wanted from the United States, they said respect and aid.  That means respect and money.  Someone needs to explain to these ingrates that respect isn't given.  It's earned.  You might say that there is no better way to show respect for people than to free them from tyranny.  Guess it doesn't work that way in the great world of Islam.   As for foreign aid, the United States gives billions to Muslim countries. Apparently that's not enough either.

Islam is a religion that seems to thrive and feed on violence and terrorism around the world.  It goes without saying that the United States, in opposing such violence and terror, is not going to be well-liked.  They also hate us because of our success and our freedom.  As long as the United States remains a place where people are free to practice any religion they see fit, we will remain despised around the world by Muslim countries.

That's a popularity contest we can't win.

KILLING CIVILIANS JUSTIFIED

Whenever we get criticized in the Arab world for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, people point to civilian causalities.  No number of unintentional innocent deaths is acceptable, says the anti-war crowd.  So what do the Islamic terrorists on the other side of the fence think?

A new audio message thought to be from Islamic terrorist and Al-Qaeda mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi says that Islam allows the killing of innocent Muslims by Arab terrorists.  According to the voice on the tape, believed to be that of Zarqawi, "The shedding of Muslim blood ... is allowed in order to avoid the greater evil of disrupting jihad."  This is the kind of thing you expect from Al-Qaeda, but carefully watch the reaction to this news report.

Will we hear from CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) condemning Zarqawi's comments?  Will they hold a press conference, and announced that at no time is it acceptable to kill innocent Muslims?  What about the Muslim leadership in other countries.  Will they publicly speak out against Zarqawi?  Yeah ... we'll all hold our breaths.

And that's why Islam has an image problem.  If Islam is peace, then why do they tolerate terrorism in their midst?  Why is the silence so deafening when heinous acts are committed against innocent people in the name of Allah?

But the media never calls them on it.  They're too busy cooking up stories about somebody flushing a Koran down the toilet somewhere.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Every parent and teacher should print this out and post it prominently. Rules Kids Won't Learn in School.

The majority of Americans feel very positive about the future of this country.  But .. the older you get the less optimistic you are.

You've heard that there's a prosecutor in Texas who is sniffing around Tom DeLay.  Republicans say that this prosecutor is  being driven by political partisanship, not a love for the rule of law.  What would you think if this guy turned up at a Democratic fund raiser slamming DeLay?  Dedicated prosecutor, or partisan hack?

Newsweek was eager to report a flimsy story about the U.S. Military desecrating a Koran,  but Ann Coulter has example after example of where Newsweek sat on stories that were unfavorable to Democrats.  Forget bias...we've entered the propaganda zone.

The Newsweek Koran desecration story is the fourth major false news story aired by the establishment media in the last year.  Dick Morris says it's time the American public too notice.

How DARE a Republican conduct a poll on stem-cell research in a "pro-life" Republican's district?  Don't they realize that their big-time "pro-life" politician doesn't really give a darn what the people in his district think?

Picking up where CNN's Eason Jordan left off, the head of the Newspaper Guild says U.S. Troops are killing journalists on purpose.  As the old saying goes, never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

An Oklahoma Indian tribe has all  but disowned University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill, saying his membership in the tribe is honorary.  Apparently pretending to be an American Indian doesn't make you one.

Is the entire American public hopelessly obese?  Larry Elder goes inside the numbers, and says the government is exaggerating the problem.

Even Bill Clinton is admitting that the changes the United States has made in Iraq are good for the region.  Not if you ask his wife.  Remember The Hildabeast saying that the women of Iraq were better off under Saddam Hussein?

The mainstream media isn't giving up on the Koran desecration rumors....NBC has jumped into the act, picking up where Newsweek left off.  Remember, if a Koran is mishandled by the Military, count on the liberal media to cover it.

Gunga Dan continues to further be marginalized at his own network:  he's been fired from his second job in a year.  '60 Minutes Wednesday' has been canceled.  CBS says it has nothing to do with the Bush National Guard report. Right.

The leftward tilt of the American mainstream media is also getting noticed around the world.  Janet Albrechsten takes note in this piece for the Australian.

The media is laying blame for their own sins elsewhere.  The Media Research Center reports how the broadcast networks are actually blaming the White House for the Newsweek fiasco.

British Member of Parliament George Galloway's testimony in front of Norm Coleman's Senate Committee was nothing more than a comic routine.  Emmett Tyrell publicly thanks Galloway for making the trip and being so entertaining.
