PEACEFUL MUSLIMS AT WORK

Unless you've been hiding under your bed over the weekend, you must know today that there were at least three terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom over the weekend. Two on Friday, one on Saturday.

Wait! I misspoke. I almost fell into the politically correct verbiage of our media. There were three Islamic terrorist attacks over the weekend. Two car bombs in London on Friday, and one car bomb attempt in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday. Amazingly, the bombs didn't explode. There are reports, however, that all three of the bombs were made by the same bomb maker. Evidently not one of Al Qaeda's best.

Now obviously I couldn't watch all of the coverage on all of the networks and read all of the newspaper stories about these attempted attack. I can say this, though. In the coverage I did watch, there was one word missing. One word that I believe is very important to our understanding of the threat we are facing. That word was "Islamic."

Here's a link to the AP coverage of the third Islamic terrorist attack, this one at the Glasgow airport. I took the trouble of counting the words in this article, and gave up at over 1,100. Not ONE of those words was either "Islamic" or "Muslim." The cops said they are treating it as a "terrorist incident." Just on an Islamic terrorist incident.

The enemy - that would be radical Islam - doesn't have any trouble identifying the people they want to kill. That would be us, the infidels and unbelievers of the evil West. Now if the killers don't have any problem identifying their prey, why are we so reluctant to correctly identify the people who want us dead? Why do the people who want to destroy our culture; the people who will shoot children in the back to further their goals; the people who lob rockets into hospitals and detonate suicide bombs in marketplaces full of women and children; why do we quake at the thought of even mentioning their name?

During World War II, arguably the law war we actually won, our media had no trouble at all mentioning German Panzer divisions or Japanese suicide pilots. In fact, my reading of history seems to indicate that we used names like "Krauts" and "Japs" in referring to the enemy. I'm sure it got worse than that.

I don't know about you, but when someone vows my extermination I somehow lose the desire to go out of my to avoid saying something that, God forbid, they may find a little offensive. Yes, I know. All Muslims are not terrorists. But for all practical purposes in the world as it is today, all terrorists are Muslims. Know your enemy. It's as simple as that.

Meanwhile, London's mayor decided that appeasement is the best strategy. Typical for a European politician. The Mayor told BBC radio; "In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims." Yeah ... right. And just who was it that carried out those subway bombings about a year ago? Baptists? And correct me if I'm wrong, don't we have some pretty good proof that Mr. Mayor profited mightily from Saddam's generosity with his Oil for Food money?

As for the Muslims out there, and they may even be a majority of their faith, who truly want to live in peaceful harmony with other peoples and other religions, perhaps its time for you to show some resolve and determination in joining us in our condemnation of extreme Islamists who are dragging your religion into the gutter.

Just a thought.

NANCY'S NOT HAPPY

Break out the tissue box, folks. You're Speaker of the House is sad. Why you ask? Well for starters ... she doesn't think that she has the power to impeach George W. Bush. Isn't that just so sad? On a conference call with bloggers last Friday, Pelosi made a comment about impeaching the President. The blogger asked whether or not it was worth sticking up for the Constitution. Nancy's response, "Well, yeah, the Constitution is worth it if you can succeed." And there you have it. Nancy does not seem to be too concerned about protecting the Constitution, the basis for our free society. No. The Constitution is apparently valuable to her if it serves her purposes. If not ... oh well.

Hopefully the Constitution will outlast the aging hollow-eyed hippie from Haight-Ashbury.

But how is Nancy's leadership of the House going so far? Let's see how she's doing so far. The amnesty bill - failure (for her and others who wanted to grant amnesty to millions of criminals). A plan for Iraq - non-existent. Stem cell research - vetoed. Shall we continue?

It seems as though she is starting to get frustrated. "I'm not happy with Congress," says Nancy. And who does she blame ... I mean, we are talking Washington so there has to be someone to blame ... Republicans. Yep, conservatives are to blame for the ineffectiveness of Congress. It can't get anything done, just blame Republicans. But then, you just wait. The moment there is one "success" in the Congress, it will be all thanks to the Democrats. If they didn't gain control in 2006, none of this would have happened. Where are your evil Republicans then, Nancy?

FRANKLY, I'M JEALOUS

There seemed to be no problem in getting most of the talk show hosts behind exposing the amnesty bill for what it was ... and the amnesty bill is now dead.

So .. why am I jealous? Because of we had this same fervor behind tax reform, and I'm talking the FairTax here, it would quickly become the central issue in this presidential election.

Frankly, some days I wish someone else had co-written The FairTax Book with John Linder. Perhaps then the FairTax would be receiving more attention from some of my talk radio colleagues .. hosts who may be a tad reluctant to endorse and push the idea because it is considered to be "another talk show host's thing."

ENFORCE THE LAWS

Michael Chertoff has some late-breaking news ... the federal government doesn't have the ability to enforce laws when it comes to illegals working in America. No Mr. Chertoff. You are wrong. The federal government does have the ability to enforce the laws. It's the political will that is missing.

Chertoff said that the government is going to continue to enforce the laws, but "it is going to be tough." Really? Tough, you say? Sure it's tough when you're trying to enforce laws that politicians simply don't want enforced. How much easier would it be for you if we built that 15-foot tall double fence along the border? My guess is that things would get easier in a hurry.

Here's another idea. Penalties for employers. Tough ones, not just slaps on the wrist. And while we're at it let's improve the government databases that identify legal residents. How hard can that be? You say you don't have the funds? That's bull. The money is there, but they are too busy being spent on Prairie Highways in Illinois and public arts projects in Ohio. Cut the pork. Make Congress - especially Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and David Obey - put our money into border enforcement. If they want to do something about immigration, cut the pork and spend the money where it actually needs to be spent.

Once the fence is built, there is a way to enforce the laws, and once businesses are actually concerned about the penalties for hiring illegals, the work will dry up. No work .. no dinero. No dinero .. time to migrate again. Back home. That's called self deportation. And all you have to do is cut their resources. Enforce that one, simple law ... and you have the beginning of a grand immigration policy.

Here's another simple idea. What if we passed a federal law making it a crime for anyone who is in this country illegally to transfer money earned here out of the country? If you want to hear the Mexican leaders scream bloody murder, just give that one a shot.

You can't hide behind the law as an excuse. Especially when it comes to illegal immigration.

OUR INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT AT WORK

Here's a classic story about the incredible workings of our federal government in its ongoing fight against private property rights. Here's the story. A man is growing pot in the basement of his house. His wife says she knows nothing about it.

Here comes the government ... hand over your house? No, no. The court ruled: hand over half of your house.

Yep, you read that correctly! The federal government is seizing half of the house --- the half that the man used for his little marijuana garden. The other half now belongs to the wife, who says she knew nothing about the drugs. (Yeah ... sure.)

Isn't that the most logical solution to this problem? Our ridiculous war on drugs, leads us to this absurd Half of the house ... give me a break. For what? Marijuana? Tell me, can anyone tells us about one single death in this country from a marijuana overdose? No? Well, how about alcohol?

So .. what happens now? Does the government move a welfare family into their side of the house?

iPHONE

There was a picture in the Atlanta Journal Constitution this past Saturday of some young kid with his iPhone. This character had waited for innumerable hours to be first in line to buy his phone. He actually told the AJC reporter that people will admire him now that he has a iPhone.

Do I have to say it? How completely pathetic is that? Here is someone who actually believes that now that he has a iPhone people will admire him. Is he admitting here that there is nothing else about him worthy of admiration? Think about it. How would you like to be admired only for your mobile phone.

By the way ... the more intelligent among us realize that those who busted their buns to be first in line will soon be regretting their decisions. Over the next few months several bugs will be worked out, and then version two will hit the market. That's where you'll find the intelligent buyers.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

Ooo, today it looks like we get to add to our collection of redneckhigh rises. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.

READING ASSIGNMENTS! (We have a pant-load for you today!)

Neal talked about this funny video today about a prostitute, a wad of cash and chivalric men getting caught in a compromising situation.

We'll start with this. I'll be talking about it on the air. There's a secret report out there that was prepared for Homeland Security that warns of an Al Qaeda "terror spectacular" on our soil this summer.

Next .. a Bookman alert! Ladies and gentlemen, The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Jay Bookman has actually written a column that makes perfect sense! We all knew he had it in him! Way to go Jay! Read this historic effort right here!

Now I know that we're all supposed to accept man-made global warming as the God's-honest truth. After all, OwlGore told us so. But, alas! Here is yet another article saying that all of this scientific "consensus" seems to be melting away. Must be the heat.

Linda Chavez says the Republicans have hurt themselves in the amnesty debate. What? The Republicans hurt themselves? Again? Say it ain't so! It's just so not like them!

Here's Frank Wooten, associate editor of the Charleston (SC) Post and Courier who (a) doesn't particularly like talk radio, (b) thinks talk radio played a major role in killing the amnesty bill, and (c) is opposed to bringing back the "Fairness" Doctrine.

Another setback for Christianity. Senior bishops from the Church of England are now saying that Britain's recent floods were brought by God to punish England for such things as pro-gay legislation, greed and immorality.

Gotta love this one. David McMenemy tries to burn down a women's clinic because he thinks they perform abortions there. They don't. Expensive mistake.

Taking another look at FDR. Why has it taken so long to take a long, hard look at the New Deal?

School officials find a bag in a girl's locker room with something inside. "Oh my God! It's a fetus!" Bag goes to medical examiner ... "fetus" turns out to be .......

Pity the poor Border Patrol officer! Count the Illegals! Me? I counted 14.

I know that last week's Supreme Court decision regarding the McCain - Feingold Campaign Finance Reform act didn't exactly light your fire. Too bad. It should have. It's not every day we have a great victory for free speech like this one.

And now for you global warming ... er, I mean "climate change" nut cases out there. Dare you read this column by Vin Suprynowicz? I particularly like this excerpt: "Clearly, if anyone believes Earth is warming catastrophically and that we need to do something, the only proven solution is to start throwing as much crap into the atmosphere as we possibly can, right now."

Here's an excellent column by Mark Steyn about how appeasement in the face of radical Islamic extremism has been the most detrimental tactic for the West. A weak response to the Rushdie affair years ago only made it more acceptable for Muslims' behavior when he was knighted just weeks ago. We should have handled this long ago.

And Mark Steyn is really on a roll. Here's another column about my favorite holiday, Independence Day, and with a few choice words about the geniuses who wrote the failed "Great Compromise."

Well isn't this just a match made in Heaven ... Iran and Venezuela have come together to claim "victory" over "the pillars of global arrogance." In other words, they will stop at nothing - using their trump card ... oil - to see the United States falter as a world power.

Looks like the media got this one wrong. Australia is planning to keep troops in Iraq ... as much as that may irk the liberal media who want nothing more than to undermine the United States and the war against Islamic extremism.

Senator Leahy (yep, sure is a Democrat) says he is going to sue the White House if it doesn't turn over information about the firing of federal prosecutors. At the rate of our court system, the trial would come after Hillary finishes her first term in office.

Here's an article about the fanatical religion of "global warming." The idea of "protecting our environment" has gotten way out of hand ... now there seems to be no limit on what is land worthy of being protected and what isn't. Every piece of land, if touched by evil man, will contribute to global warming.

Bush offers a lobster dinner to Putin, in hopes of easing relations with Russia. I'm sure it is going to take a little more than fresh seafood to smooth over recent discrepancies ... on little matters like missile defense, for example.

As of yesterday, New Mexico has decided to take matters into it's own hands ... and start growing it's own marijuana. For medical reasons, of course.

Have a memory you want erased? Apparently you can get rid of it with the injection of an amnesia drug at the right time ... or so scientists say.

Apparently your little angels start lying as young as six months old. Next time your hear a brat screaming on an airplane or in a restaurant, just tell the parents that their precious kid is probably lying to them - fake crying.
