THEY'RE RIOTING AGAIN IN PARIS

Look through the papers, listen to the newscasts, watch the talking heads on TV. See if you can find reporters out there telling you that the majority of the rioters are Muslims. And just what do they have their turbans in a wad over this time? Two kids racing through the streets on a motorcycle ran into a cop car. It didn't turn out all that well for the kids. So ..... let's riot!

DIVERSITY IN DENVER

More diversity nonsense from Denver, Colorado.

Now ... before we go any further, a reminder of just what this whole diversity thing is all about. Diversity education can take on basically two forms. One form is anti-individualism. If you've been listening to my show, reading my notes or just paying attention to what is going on around you, you will know that the left is waging a full-scale war against individualism. Individual rights ... bad. Collective rights ... good. Individual achievement ... bad. Collective achievement ... good. When diversity is the issue you are categorizing and judging people not by their individuality, but by their group identity.

The other form of diversity education is the selling of the idea that white guys are bad, everybody else is good. That would seem to be the case in Denver.

Denver is forcing all of its employees to watch a diversity training video. That should be enough to infuriate you. But some people in Denver are saying that it does what we typically see these "diversity" workshops do ... portray white people as inherently racist simply because they are white.

This video Denver city employees are being forced to watch is called Laughing Matters - Think About It. (watch a little preview here) I would like to think that the video was really produced as a comedy piece, but too many people are taking it seriously. So here we have the city of Denver requiring all of its employees to watch this piece of "white men are bad dudes." Not good, but pretty much what you would expect.

Now ... imagine if the person being insulted in the video was black or Muslim ... Oh no, that would be racist to portray a minority that way. All minorities, remember, are worthy of praise. White folks aren't. Besides, that would be racial profiling, wouldn't it? There is only one race that cannot be profiled. Care to guess which one?

There are more parts to this video and the three-hour facilitated discussion that we are not seeing. But don't worry ... when someone pointed out the ridiculousness of showing the video, the city said that it plans to update it in 2008 or 2009. Now that's decisive action! Wait 'till next year!

And of course, where would a city be without a diversity manager. In Denver, the diversity manager (the person in charge of group identities) is a woman; Susan Maxfield. Susan's advisory committee along with the city's television station concocted this little beauty. It even won an award for second place in 2005 for Instruction/Training from the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors.

HANNAH MONTANAMANIA

So ... This Hannah Montana thing comes to the Atlanta area tonight with a concert at the Gwinnett Arena. From the beginning the concert promoters were warning people about buying counterfeit tickets ... but this meant noting to the doting parents of whining little girls who just absolutely had to go to the concert. So many of these parents went out there and paid scalpers unbelievable sums to get a ticket for their little girls so that they would be popular and be able to go to the concert. Some of these idiot parents actually paid as much as $2500 for just one ticket. After all .. it's all about the children.

I'm really hoping to tune into the news tomorrow to find out that some of these parents who shelled out thousands of dollars to placate their whining kids got nailed ... they paid thousands of bucks for a worthless piece of cardboard.

Evil, aren't I? But I'm really going to enjoy this one.

MANDATING HEALTHCARE

John Edwards had a little town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire on Monday. He chastised Hillary's healthcare plan because, while she will mandate healthcare, there is no way to enforce it according to Edwards.

He says the only way to have "real universal healthcare" is to mandate it for every man, woman and child. How will he do that? Edwards says, "Every time you come into contact with the healthcare system or the government you will be signed up." All we need at this point was John Edwards using saying, with a thick German accent, "papers please!"

When asked what would happen if an individual decided they didn't want healthcare Edwards said, "You don't get that choice."

Edward's "you don't get that choice" statement reminds me of something. Have any of you heard John Edwards use the word "freedom" in a stump speech lately?

MORE FROM MOHAMMAD THE TEDDY BEAR

It's really sad when a seven-year-old has to stand up and defend the absurdity of a radical religion. The Sudanese student, Mohammad, defended his British teacher who has been accused of insulting Islam after naming a class teddy bear Mohammad.

The boy said, "The teacher asked me what I wanted to call the teddy ... I said Mohammad. I named it after my name." He says he wasn't thinking of Islam's Prophet when he suggested the name, and he says that most of the class agreed with his suggestion.

The boy also adds that the teacher, Gillian Gibbons (54 years old) was "very nice" and said he would be upset if she didn't come back to teach. The boy also said that Gibbons never discussed religion with the class nor did she mention the Prophet Muhammad.

Just a reminder, the punishment for this British teacher is 40 lashes and six months in prison or a fine.

Just another chapter in the story of the wonderful, serene, peaceful, loving, gentle, embracing, peaceful religion of Islam.

INSPECTING MUSLIMS

A court has ruled that U.S. immigration authorities acted constitutionally when they searched dozens of Muslims at the US-Canadian border on their way back from an Islamic convention in Canada. The New York Civil Liberties Union (who else!) sued on behalf of some who attended the "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" conference in Toronto in 2004. They were frisked, fingerprinted and photographed, and their cars were searched. They had to fill out forms and were questioned about their past travels, what happened at the conference and why they went. The U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection had intelligence giving it reason to believe that people with terrorist ties would be attending certain Islamic conferences at that time.

Good .. we need more of this. So long as Muslims are openly calling for the death of our country and of us .. make their border crossings as difficult as possible. When they start to clean up the mess that has become their religion, then maybe we can lighten up.

LIVING LONGER

Hospice providers seem to be in a pickle ... their patients are living longer (which is a good thing) but that means hospices can't afford to keep them.

Patients living longer have led the federal government to demand that hospices that exceed reimbursement limits pay back hundreds of millions of dollars to Medicare. Hospice benefits were originally designed for people with less than six months to live, generally cancer patients. But like any government entitlement program, it spun out of control. Medicare's hospice coverage began in 1983 and is now one of the fastest growing components of Medicare. Medicare, in turn, is the government's fastest growing entitlement program. Medicare spending tripled from 2000 to 2005 to $8.2 billion a year. Forty percent of Medicare recipients now use the hospice service.

With that in mind, hospice use skyrocketed among people with Alzheimer's and dementia. Those patients now make up the majority of hospice consumers and their average stay is double what the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission envisioned. Imagine that ... poor planning on the part of a government agency.

By the way ... did you know that on the average about 60 percent of the money that is spent on any individual's health care is spent during the last few months of that person's life? When the government is in charge of all health care, you can bet that this statistic will come into play with government health care planning agencies. You can fully expect the government to eventually tell people that no, they can't have a particular surgical procedure, because they're only going to live a few more months anyway. Now when this happens, and when you decide to go outside of the government system to get that health care on your own, using our own money, you'll soon find out that what you're doing is a crime.

Just ask John Edwards.

OBSESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA!

You'll remember yesterday we were talking about the vice president for student affairs at the University of Florida, Dr. Patricia Something-Something. She sent a letter to every Florida student bemoaning the fact that a poster advertising a movie about radical Islam contained the phrase "Radical Islam wants you dead." It seems that some Muslim students were (gasp!) offended!

Well ... we won't revisit the whole thing here, I just wanted you to read a few emails the show received yesterday about Dr. Whoever-Whoever.

• Message:
  First off, I want to address the issue of the Vice President of Student Affairs at my University of Florida. I have never been so ashamed to have received such an idiotic text message from someone who has the distinction of putting the letters "PHD" next to their name, much less someone who is responsible for educating the minds of the future leaders of our country. I have been going to school here in Gainesville for two years now, and have not seen one single parade or demonstration against radical Islam by Muslim students, which you have pointed out already. Instead, the group which is in charge of who comes and speaks to our University and deals with student groups and demonstrations is called Accent, and 90% of the time it conveniently finds extremely liberal people with viewpoints as ignorant as those made by Telles----Irvin (I like how you pointed out the hyphen in her name) to spread their liberal bias. On another note, I heard a caller the other day state how many younger people do not really listen to your program, or talk radio in general. This could not be farther from the truth. I have tons of friends who tune into you and "the Godfather" daily, while driving to class or sitting at home. The drive by media is vastly underrating the amount of conservative students and youngsters across the country who tune into enlightening programs such as yours. Thanks again for all that you do, and once again, from the MAJORITY of students at UF, I apologize for my superiors allowing such an idiot to make such statements.

  Dear Mr. B,
  Just finished reading your response to the offensive email put out to the students at the University of Florida by Dr. Patricia Telles-Irvin. Your comments were spot on. In addition to posting your comments to her email on your website, I trust you sent Dr. Irvin a copy of same. Dr. Irvin lives in a make believe world and is not used to dealing with adults.

  How can those in academia actually think that in the real world anyone gives a hoot about the world they live in? They live in a shell. Their students one day will have to face reality. Eventually, these students have to leave Ms. Rogers Islamic neighborhood as portrayed by an institution filled with people who are completely out of touch because their little world allows it. These institutions are filled with overpaid adult children who cannot function in the real world. Thank goodness students are not buying the bar of soap these pissy people try to sell.

Just wanted to say that your latest book is the best book I have read in a long time. I don't always agree with you, but have to really examine my position on things when our opinions differ after you lay out your reasoning. Thanks for making me stretch my brain, and keep up the good work.

By the way, I don't blame you for not wanting to run for president but this country needs someone who is not afraid to do what is best regardless of the offenses that it would cause so long is it made America better. You could be the shot in the arm that this country so desperately needs.
