ON THE SHOW TODAY

• Supporters of illegal immigration in California are just beside themselves over the ICE raids last week. Over 700 criminals were arrested and are slated for deportation. The pro-invasion "activists" are claiming racial profiling. Wait ... we're looking for Mexicans who have crossed the border illegally ... and that's racial profiling? Let's see if anyone can defend this absurd claim on the air today.
  
  
• Did you know that there is a federal court trial going on in Mississippi? The claim is that black officials in a rural Mississippi country have been actively trying to prevent whites from voting. You'll learn more about this on the show today.
  
  
• Why do we even take these war protestors in Washington seriously? They spray pain anarchist graffiti on our U.S. Capitol. They spit on soldiers in uniform. What kind of an idiot do you have to be to walk around with a sign saying "War is not the answer?"
  
  
• British have prevented a terrorist attack in Britain. The Muslim fascists were going to kidnap a British soldier and behead him on the internet. Why? Because the British soldier is a Muslim. We'll talk about the lethargy of the American people in the face of these Muslim murderers.
  
  
• There are reports that Iranian troops operating in Iraq right now. Is it possible Iran is feeling bolder because America is looking weaker? What could the Iranians possibly see in our Congress right now that would cause them to be the least bit cautious? Details on this story today.
  
  
• Is Barak Obamamania on the wane? Barak is dropping in the polls. Is it time for the American people to accept the fact that Hillary is going to be the Democrat nominee? She's just too glib, her organization is so good, and the American people are so gullible .... it doesn't look like anything can stop her.

RINO REWRITES THE CONSTITUTION

Senator Arlen Specter, as they say a "Republican In Name Only," has re-written the United States Constitution. He is challenging President Bush's assertion that he is the sole decider on deploying troops to Iraq. Evidently Bush is not the only Commander-In-Chief anymore. According to Specter: "I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider. The decider is a shared and joint responsibility."

Really: Could Specter please show us where in our Constitution it says that the Senate shall share responsibility with the President as Commander in Chief of our armed forces?

The decision of whether or not to go to war in Iraq was already decided as a shared and joint responsibility, Senator Specter. Perhaps you don't remember when the United States Senate voted to give President Bush the authority to invade Iraq. Small detail most in Congress now want swept under the rug. As to whether or not the president is the sole decider....well, it's always been that way. The president is the commander-in-chief. That's what the Constitution says, as much as Democrats hate the whole idea.

You don't command by committee.

So what can the Congress do? The Congress does have the power of the purse. To that end, that makes them somewhat of a decider in the whole matter. But they know they don't have the votes to pull the funding for the war, nor would that sit well with the American people. There's not much they can do.

All they can do is sit around and pass non-binding resolutions against the war. That's not much of a decider, now is it?

OBAMA WANTS TO PULL OUT

Barack Obama has weighed in on the war in Iraq. He wants the troops home by March of 2008. As Islamic terrorists cheer at the idea, one has to wonder...why March of 2008? Why not March of 2007? Or at least July? Do I hear September?

Obama says it's time to stop the foreign policy disaster, but he won't support cutting off funds for the war. Aww...come on..why not? If the war is so terrible and such a mistake, why not put a stop to it? Instead of doing that, Barack Hussein Obama has introduced a bill. Hey..this is his first piece of legislation anybody actually knows about.

According to General Obama, we should cap the troop levels at 130,000 in Iraq. Why 130,000? Why not 125,000? I guess Obama has decided that the 130,000 is a good number. Obama's phased surrender would call for bringing the troops home starting in May and having all of them home by March of 2008. By the way....do you know where Obama says the troops should be sent?

What we have here is Obama trying to make himself look more knowledgeable than he really is. He wants to be president, so he has to look like he can make presidential decision. "Let's see .. I need to look presidential here. I'm slipping in the polls. So .. I'll just say the troops should be home by March of 2008. There's no strategic thought process behind this, I know. But it just sounds like something a president would say ... so I'll just go with it."

Yeah ... Barack. You da man!

OH .. by the way. How long is it going to be before we learn, probably from Al Sharpton, that if you're not a Barack supporter then that means you're a racist?

CRUISING THE "VENT"

OK .. it has been a while since I read the "Vent" in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It's just too depressing. You get in there and start reading these comments from readers and you really start to wonder if there is any hope left for our country. Here are two examples from today:

• How many more of our sons and daughters have to be sacrificed and used as target practice in an unjust war based on lies?
  
  
• I am frustrated and disgusted that even with insurance I am expected to pay $25-plus for birth control pills. If I were to become pregnant, the costs would be far greater than that. Birth control should be free.

So there you have it. One fool who doesn't recognize the threat posed by Islamic fascism ... and who couldn't name one Bush "lie" if she had to, and another woman who thinks that birth control should be free. Look, woman ... if you can't afford birth control, don't have sex. That way you don't have someone else paying for your happy endings.

We're paying the tab here for government education.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

Another in the long line of redneck mailboxes. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Don't miss the information overload hour Thursday...Neal and Clark Howard will go head to head over the minimum wage issue. This is gonna be fun!

A "U.S. Climate Researcher" says we have 10 years left to save the planet from global warming....or else. Or else what? Evidently the Earth will rise to the temperature of 200 degrees or something. Or maybe California will fall into the ocean. Who knows. By the way, did you know that 1936 was hotter than 2006?

And even though the media pretends they don't exist, there are those in the scientific community that question the whole premise of global warming. They call it a natural occurrence. In fact, they've written a couple of books...which will no doubt be burned by global warming activists. Does burning books cause global warming? Who knows.

After the Kelo decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, eminent domain abuse is alive and well across the country. Dr. Walter E. Williams calls them government thieves, who use a law designed to build roads and bridges to steal your land to enrich themselves.

Michelle Malkin notes the hypocrisy between those that decry the anonymous source reporting involving Barack Obama...but at the same time don't have a problem with anonymous sources in Iraq that bash the United States. I guess it depends what the anonymous source is saying.

Benjamin Shapiro tries to make sense of the hoopla surrounding Barack Obama's popularity. He points out that perhaps the reason the media treats Obama like the Messiah is because of his rhetoric, not his record. Which is mighty thin, by the way.

Ohio is a battleground state....so who is leading in the polls there for president in 2008? Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. On the Democratic side, Hillary leads the field with 38 percent while Rudy is running ahead of the others with 30 percent, with McCain getting 22 percent.

No wonder we can't do anything to stop illegal immigration....nobody has bothered to plug the tunnels between the U.S. and Mexico. The latest estimation is that it would take only $3 million to plug the tunnels...and stop the flow of illegals. So why don't we do it? Ask The Decider.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says it's probably going to take a couple nuclear bombs going off in the United States from a terrorist for us to take the situation we face seriously. Newt says the biggest problem is a nuclear Iran, which we seem to be ignoring.

Professor Mike Adams talks about his religious conversion in today's column. Specifically, he addresses why he left the Methodists for the Baptists. In fact, he has a whole list of reasons why. Always entertaining and controversial.

John Stossel says federal laws and raids against medical marijuana is not how the system was supposed to work, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers. In fact, they specifically delegated very few powers to the federal government....which seems to be running the show now.

It's done. All the editing is over. "Somebody's Gotta Say It" will appear on your bookstore shelves on Tuesday, February 20, 2007. The autographed first editions have sold out so if you want my mark on your book, you'll need to catch me at one of my book signings. Or if you just want to get to reading, order it online here.
