CAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY BE UNSEATED?
There is some good news from
yesterday's primaries in Georgia. Last Evening's Moonbat Ball didn't go
quite as planned. Cynthia (the cutest little Jihadist in Congress) McKinney
invited her fellow moonbat and bosom buddy Cindy Sheehan (Omigod! Two
Cindys!) to her victory party last night ... only there was no victory! There were more votes cast against Cynthia McKinney yesterday than votes
for her.
Now she's in a runoff
with Democrat Hank Johnson who, by the way,
is a supporter of the FairTax! There is a ray of hope that Georgia's embarrassment, might be sent
packing by the voters ... again! We'll have plenty to say about this as the runoff approaches! FAIRTAX RESULTS!
As I told you, The FairTax was on the primary ballots in three Georgia
counties yesterday. I have the results of the voting! Here you go. These
are all metro Atlanta counties: Gwinnett County: Total Votes: 35,755
Yes - 31,068. 86.9%
No - 4,687 13.1%
Cobb County: Total votes: 39,458
Yes - 33,598. 85.15%
No - 5,860. 14.85%
Fayette County: Total votes: 11,517
Yes - 9,828. 85.33%
No - 1,689. 14.67%
There seems to be some consistency there. In each county the FairTax
received about 85% of the vote. What's more, there was something very
interesting in my emails yesterday. I counted 12 emails from listeners who
said that they had no intention of taking the time to vote in yesterday's
primaries ... until, that is, they heard me say that the FairTax
was on the ballot. At that point they made up their minds to head out and
cast their vote for the FairTax. So, if 12 people took the time to send me
that email, how many more felt the same way? Politicians .... are you listening? The FairTax gets votes. Simple as
that. WHAT THE HELL, IT'S ONLY MONEY
Have you ever thought about how much of your tax dollars goes to fund the
hospital bills of those illegal aliens in your community? The New York Times
reports on an alarming dilemma that many states-particularly Texas and
California-are facing. Yup ... you got it. These hospital emergency rooms
cannot refuse to treat people who are in this country .. and in those
emergency rooms illegally. This is starting to cost big bucks. Bucks that
are taken out of your paychecks.
This from The New York Times: "Across Texas, the debate over illegal immigration has spilled into
county commission hearings and hospital board meetings. A study ordered
by commissioners in Harris County, which includes Houston, found that
about one-fifth of the patients in its health system last year were
immigrants without documents, most of them from Mexico. Their numbers
had increased 44 percent in three years, the study found, and their care
had cost the county $97.3 million, about 14 percent of the health
system's total operating costs."
That's $97.3 million that could have been in the pockets of the people of
the community. And California spent over $1 billion on health care for
illegal immigrants just last year alone!" Nice, isn't it. Any illegal alien -- any invader or gate-crasher -- can
just walk into an American hospital and get the same medical care that legal
residents and citizens receive. They can then just waltz back across the
border to home and never have to bear the responsibility for paying one cent
toward their medical care. What kind of suckers are we? Some gets sick in
Mexico. Some woman is about to deliver a baby in Mexico. They just walk
across the border and present themselves at some American emergency room.
There they are treated. Their treatment is paid for by American patients
and taxpayers. The Mexican invader just heads back home without a care. AND IT'S GAY MARRIAGE YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?
Astonishing, high-impact news coming this morning!
Pamela Anderson and
Kid Rock are going to get married! Alert the media! Ring the bells! The
institution of marriage is safe! Pamela and Kid are going to tie the knot! What incredible news this is. The institution of marriage is safe, for
what ... six months? Who knows? Maybe this lovely couple will make it long
enough to begat a tricycle motor! Kid's kid! One thing for sure; we all
know that these two will be held up for years to come as an example of the
strength of the wonderful institution of marriage in our modern society.
Well, maybe not years. Maybe weeks. Is Britney going to be a bridesmaid? TAXPAYERS TO BAIL OUT TOURISTS
It is nauseating to watch the whining "tourists" complaining on TV about how
they are stranded in Beirut and the United States isn't getting there fast
enough to bail them out. There were some 25,000 Americans in Lebanon...and
it's been slow going transporting them out of there. The overall perception
seems to be that we're suppose to just swoop in and pull somebody's fat out
of the fire who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The State Department is making these rescued Americans sign promissory notes
to pay back the cost of their transportation. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi is outraged. She says the United States should pick up the tab. And
it looks like the
taxpayers will indeed be footing the bill. As
most Bush-bashers like her, she couldn't resist taking a shot at the
president, comparing the transportation situation in Lebanon to Hurricane
Katrina. Said Congresswoman Moonbat: "We've spent hundreds of billions of
dollars in Iraq, we've paid Halliburton money that they haven't even earned,
and yet we charge individual Americans who are caught in the crossfire in
Lebanon for their transportation costs to get out." Yes, that's right, we
do. And we should.
Beirut and the entire country of Lebanon has been a war-torn area for well
over a quarter of a century. Until recently, Lebanon was occupied by a
terrorist state, Syria. The Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah controls part
of Lebanon. Against all common sense, if an American chooses to go to
school, work or vacation in Lebanon, then they shouldn't be surprised when a
war breaks out. That's what happens in Beirut because that's what's been
happening for decades. Perhaps people who visit the region should do their
research next time.
So it's time for a little personal responsibility here. The feds need to
tell these people: you chose to go there, you knew the risks. If you want
us to rescue you, it's going to cost you. Money should not be confiscated
from the American people to pay for somebody else's stupidity.
And why go on vacation in Beirut, anyway? Was Pyongyang all booked up?
Tehran a little too expensive this time of year?
BUSH GIVES ISRAEL A WEEK
According to a news report running in the British press, the
United States
gave Israel the green light to go to war against Hezbollah. The same story
also says the Bush Administration is giving Israel another week before they
call on them to wrap up their war and send in the peacekeepers. This is too
bad, but not unexpected.
The Bush Administration is simply following the appeasement template of the
last 30 years. It goes like this: just when Israel has an Islamic terrorist
group on the ropes (in this case Hezbollah but it applies to Hamas and the
"Palestinians,") the administration caves in to the Euro-weenies, Islamic
countries and the American Left and demands Israel use "restraint."
Restraint is a weasel word that means "appeasement."
So now the same thing is happening. What we should be doing is supporting
Israel as much as possible. In fact, let's encourage them! They are doing
the good work that we should be doing: stamping out the Islamic terror group
Hezbollah. It would be to our advantage to sit back and let them have at
it. Because as we all know, Islamic terrorists are like cockroaches. No
amount is acceptable and if you see one, that means there are thousands
more.
But sadly, that won't happen here. Appeasement will be the order of the day
and Hezbollah will be allowed to strengthen and regroup so they can kill
more innocent people. All while the failed, mythical fantasy of the
"Mideast Peace Process" is pursued.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK
I wonder if you need a permit for
this sort of thing? More in the Redneck Scrap Book. READING ASSIGNMENTS
George W. Bush will be addressing the NAACP tomorrow for the very first
time. This should be interesting, since he's turned them down every
year since he's been in office. Will the audience behave themselves? Stay
tuned.
John Dickerson with Slate magazine says President George W. Bush should
swear more. That's right...he actually said that. [WARNING:] news
story contains dirty words that might not be safe for work.
The New York Times is upset with Ann Coulter. Why? Because she dared
to make a joke about the powder some nutcase sent to the Times. They say
she should take responsibility for inciting her fans to do ridiculous
things.
The Marriott hotel chain is banning all smoking in their
hotels...everywhere. That means no smoking in the rooms, the bar, the
lobby, the restaurant...anywhere. So now the filthy addicts who poison
people with their death sticks will have to seek lodging elsewhere.
Hopefully every other hotel chain follows suit!
Israeli officials say their goal with the war is to eliminate Hezbollah.
Of course, this makes appeasers all over the world shake in their
boots...because the very idea that a terrorist group might be wiped off the
Earth doesn't square with their agenda.
The Washington Post is running a story about conservatives breaking with
George W. Bush over his foreign policy.
But the real story in this article is the quote from Newt Gingrich, near the
end of page one. Priceless!
Charles Krauthammer says the only acceptable outcome in Lebanon is for
Israel to wipe Hezbollah from the face of the Earth. He even makes not of a
time when the UN and France...yes France went along with the idea.
Remember Joe Biden's comment that you couldn't go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin'
Donuts in Delaware without running into someone from India? Well,
a self-described Republican and Indian-American says not only is he not
outraged, he finds the whole controversy amusing.
It's always been said that if you marry a cousin, you would wind up with
children who had birth defects.
But John Stossel says that's a myth and the laws against cousins marrying in
the country are stupid. Ever the controversial columnist.
The conventional wisdom for the 2008 Republican Nomination race is that
McCain is leading and Rudy Giuliani isn't far behind. But it's early...so
who knows what will happen.
Paul Weyrich takes a look at the race.
The four key players in the current war raging with Israel are Iran, Syria,
Hamas and Hezbollah.
William F. Buckley looks at what President Bush should do. Is it time
