THE NORKS DECLARE WAR

North Korea says the U.N. sanctions passed earlier this week are a declaration of war.  The world is trembling.  Kim Jong-Il has declared war on the rest of the world!  According to its official statement, North Korea wants peace but is not afraid of war.  Isn't there something in the back of your mind that would like to give that premise a test?

Thus far the sanctions placed on the Norks have been nothing but a slap on the wrist.   Ban on arms sales to North Korea? Oh sure, a ban can be instituted .. .but enforced?  What are we going to do, send troops to the Nork border with China to search every truck that crosses?  I don't think so.

How about the inspection of cargo to and from the country?  On the oceans, maybe.  But there's that border again.  I guess we could seize the assets of companies that sell arms to North Korea. Would that include the Chinese weapons industry? 

The facts are that the Bush Administration has chosen to do next to nothing about North Korea.  The Gargoyle will be allowed to test his nuclear weapons, run his concentration camps, starve his people and do whatever he wants.  There are no real consequences and he knows it.  All we're doing about it is basically letting the countries in the region handle it...the so-called six-party talks.

North Korea is going to become a nuclear power .. and the rest of the world is going to sit back and watch it happen.  It's just something we'll have to learn to live with.

Iran next?

Camera hog, Mike Gallagher, leans in to block Neal just as the photo is taken. Here's the article.

DEMOCRATS OUT FRONT ON ANTI-INDIVIDUALISM.

The Democrats have now rolled out their catch phrase for the 2008 mid-term elections.  You'll be hearing it time after time after time from Democrat spokesmen and candidates from now until election day.  It's a phrase that does nothing less than lend support to the identification of Democrats as nothing less than big-government socialists. 

The Democrat's catch phrase is one that will surely bring smiles to the faces of Marx and Lenin in whatever corner of hell they now occupy.  The word --- or two words, if you will -- for the Democrats is now "common good."

Well, at least the Democrats are being loyal to their socialist roots.  "Common good" was a catch-phrase for the communist movement for decades, now it is being officially embraced by the Democrats.  No real surprise here.  Democrat icon Ted Kennedy announced the war on individualism -- using those very words -- many years ago. 

The idea of the "common good" is completely contrary to the concept of individualism.  You either support and promote the idea of individuality, or you ignore the rights of the individual for the good of the whole .. for the common good. 

So .. here we have the Democrats telling you just exactly who they are, and who they think you are -- not an individual, just one element that makes up the masses.

These people and their socialist "common good" theme are dangerous to freedom, liberty and the very concept of the individual.  If you're looking for a reason to vote for the free-spending, big-government Republicans, the Democrats and their "common good" theme would be it.

GOING OUT ON A LIMB HERE

Today is the day we're supposed to meet the 300,000,000th American.  Officially they're waiting for the 300 millionth American to be actually born in this country .. somewhere around mid-morning.  The truth is that the 300 millionth American probably waded across the Rio Grande a few hours ago.  Citizenship or legality doesn't count here.  Just numbers.  My guess?  The 300 millionth American will be born to a single Hispanic female.   Now ... let's see if I get a big "I told you so" later today.

FROM DRUG SMUGGLING TO PEOPLE SMUGGLING

A congressional report will be released today that will provide some great ammunition for doing something to stop the Mexican invasion.  The report will say that Mexican drug cartels have expanded their operations from smuggling drugs to smuggling people.

The report will contain some other interesting details.  For instance, last  year more than 600 Muslims from places like Syria, Iran and Pakistan, including two Hezbollah members, crossed the border into this country.  If we know of 600, that would mean that about 6000 actually made the trip.  That leaves over 5000 possible Islamic terrorists in this country.  And why?  Because we just absolutely refuse to close that border.

We'll also learn that Hugo Chavez' Venezuela -- you remember Hugo, don't you?  The man Cindy Sheehan just loves?  Well Hugo is training Arabs -- that would mean Muslims -- to pass for Latinos.  He's providing them with government IDs using fake Latino names that allow them to enter the U.S. undetected.

We'll have more on the report when we get our smarmy little hands on a copy.

THE HAWAII EARTHQUAKE

Breaking news just in as I head to the studio.  Right wing talk radio (RWTR) is now being blamed for the 6.6 earthquake that hit Hawaii over the weekend.  We're also getting information that RWTR caused a miscarriage in Idaho and a minor traffic accident in New Hampshire.  Details later.

WHAT TO DO IN IRAQ?

First .. Iraq is a mess.  No doubt about it.  We did the right thing in getting rid of Saddam Hussein.  That policy was developed during the Clinton years.  But what do we do now?  Sure, things would have been different if the Democrats had been as concerned with seeing our efforts over their succeed as they were in demonizing and destroying George Bush ... but they weren't, and now we have a mess.

Just a question here .. nothing more ... but could it possibly be time to put more effort into protecting our culture and our country from the Islamic fascists, and less effort into trying to democratize Iraq?

PROBLEMS MOUNT FOR HARRY REID

Ask yourself this:  Imagine right now, three weeks before the general election, that Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was found to have been involved in a shady land deal....one in which he pocketed quite a hefty sum...despite not owning the land.  Also imagine that Hastert was found to have paid for his personal condo staff out of his campaign funds, a violation of umpteen campaign finance laws.  What do you think the media would be doing?

You just know it would be the top story...the calls for Hastert's resignation would be deafening.  But the person being accused of all these things is a Democrat....and just not any Democrat.  It's Harry Reid...the Senate Minority Leader.  The organization making the accusations?  Not some right-wing, politically motivated newspaper.  Nope...it's the Associated Press.  But aside from the AP and the story being linked on Drudge, you won't find the story covered much anywhere.

And why?  Simple....Reid is a Democrat and the media isn't interested.  They're too focused right now on dethroning the Republicans from the  House and Senate.  There simply isn't any desire to cover a story about Harry Reid's ethics problems.  But if it was a Republican....he would have been run out of Washington D.C. by now. 

Don't believe the media is biased?  Watch this one unfold before your eyes and you'll change your mind.

CAN THE GOP TURN IT AROUND?

The countdown is on.. three weeks until Election Day, November 7th.  Are you registered?  Do you know your polling place?  When it opens and closes?  Do you have a way there?  Have you sufficiently educated yourself so as to make an educated selection?  If not, please stay home.  Don't ruin it for the rest of us. 

So what can we expect on election night?

If the polls are to be believed, you can expect the GOP to get slaughtered.  With the polls they way they are, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Republicans lose 30 seats.  But everybody is not convinced....including the president, Karl Rove....and Newt Gingrich.  That's right, the former speaker of the House himself believes it's still possible for the GOP to win this one.

How?  He says at the end of the day, the Republicans are right on terrorism, cutting taxes and family values, whereas the Democrats are not.  Will people see that?  We'll find out in 3 weeks.  One thing is for sure...it will all come down to individual races.  Will voters punish their incumbent congressman or woman over the Mark Foley scandal?  Over Iraq?  Over the unpopularity of the president?

Maybe not....but remember 1994?  The same thing happened to the Democrats...and they were being punished for Bill Clinton's policies.  We'll see.

Again ... it's too bad the Republicans haven't given us something to really vote for. 

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

That's one way to keep your trunk lid closed. Another would be to just get the damn thing fixed. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.

How serious are we about fighting Islamic fascism?  Well, a lawyer who passed messages from her jailed Islamic terrorist client to his Islamic terrorist operatives on the outside gets 28 months in jail.  If she had been caught doing something really bad, like selling marijuana or something, it could have been much worse. 

There's a proposal on the ballot in Michigan to end affirmative discrimination in the awarding of state contracts.  Opponents say if it passes it will be the equivalent of another Katrina. 

Joe "Anonymous" Klein seems to think that Barak Obama could be our next president.

Did you know that there is a Starbucks Gossip site?  Well, now you do.
