___________________________________ EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT... The latest edition of “Lawfully Wedded” is posted on today’s News & Views EXTRA page. It includes two primary subjects: (1) The battle for a federal marriage amendment is lost (including some tough love wisdom by conservative columnist Cal Thomas), and (2) alternative legislative options short of a constitutional amendment which would address judicial activism itself and not just gay marriage. A lot to chew on. Check it out by surfing over to: http://www.chuckmuth.com/newsandviews/nv.cfm _____________________________________ FOR ASSIMILATION, PLEASE PRESS 1 Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, daughter of LEGAL immigrants, has penned an excellent piece on the hornet’s nest former Maryland Democrat Gov. Donald Schaefer and current Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich have stirred up over the failure of today’s immigrants to “adjust” to our culture and language. Catch it at: http://washingtontimes.com/commentary/20040521-084242-5435r.htm SURVEY SAYS! Washington insiders say that while the issue of illegal immigration stirs up a lot of fuss, it’s NOT an issue which swings votes one way or the other in an election campaign. Are they correct? Is a candidate’s position on illegal immigration an issue which, in and of itself, could swing your vote one way or the other in a given election? * Yes * No * Maybe Cast your vote by clicking the “Survey Says!” tab at www.citizenoutreach.com CANNES SHOCKER...NOT Michael Moore’s Bush-whacking new film, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” won the Cannes Film Festival. Who didn’t see that coming a mile away? “The jury that awards the Cannes prize is trying to tell the world that their decision was not politically motivated,” writes talk show host Neal Boortz. “We're dealing with an event in France that is judged by our leftist Hollywood elite, and they're telling us that politics has nothing to do with the award?” These people are nothing if not predictable. PIN A MEDAL ON ‘EM “In San Diego, a couple of teachers have been suspended for showing the pictures of American Nick Berg being killed by his Muslim captors in Iraq. Oh, the outrage that our delicate high schoolers would be subjected to reality. Far from suspending these teachers, we should give them medals (maybe the ones John Kerry threw away). They have done their students a big favor. They have introduced these soon-to-be-adults to the notion that it is a dangerous world out there. “...It is a mean, nasty, dreadful world out there, but one which we have managed to keep at bay, not by the UN, but by our own Constitutional government. Those teachers who dared acquaint their sheltered and misled underlings about a little part of the real world deserve a promotion and thanks from all of us. If they lose their jobs over this it will demonstrate just how far cultural Marxism (i.e. political correctness) has infiltrated this once great country.” - Paul M. Weyrich, chairman of the Free Congress Foundation ATLAS YAWNED “You would have thought the discovery of an actual weapon of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq would be big news, especially since it was aimed at American soldiers. But apparently not in the eyes of most U.S. newspaper editors and network television producers, who largely ignored one of the major stories from Iraq this week. “On Monday, the Iraqi Survey Group, tasked with searching for Saddam Hussein's WMD, confirmed an artillery round containing weaponized sarin nerve gas was detonated in an improvised explosive device (IED) aimed at U.S. troops in Baghdad on Saturday. . . . So how did the major dailies treat this story? They buried it.” - Columnist Linda Chavez THAT OTHER WEDDING STORY “The Associated Press continues to run the story that the Coalition bombed an innocent wedding party in the middle of the desert at 3:00 in the morning last week. To hear them tell it, the United States military came upon a wedding, and decided that for whatever reason, we should kill everyone in attendance. Sure. That's exactly what happened. Idiots. . . . The Bush Administration isn't going to win on this one. The ‘America bombed a wedding’ story hurts Bush, while an ‘American destroys a terrorist and insurgent safe house’ story would help him. Guess which one gets the ink?” - Talk show host Neal Boortz, 5/24/04 KERRY NOT FOOLING GUN GROUP “John Kerry owns a shotgun and a rifle, has taken time from the campaign trail to go hunting and relied on firearms during the Vietnam War. But the Democratic presidential candidate's fondness for his guns will not save him from a political assault by the National Rifle Association. . . . The NRA says it doesn't matter how many guns the Massachusetts senator owns or how often he hunts because he nearly always votes against gun rights in the Senate. . . . ‘His antifirearms record is among the very worst in American politics,’ said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. ‘It's not a stretch to say that the worst thing that could happen to the Second Amendment is for John Kerry to be elected president.’ " - Washington Times, 5/22/04 ANOTHER USELESS FEDERAL PROGRAM “OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), in fact, is pretty much a fraud. As Cato Institute analysts point out, there is no evidence the agency in its 34 years has had any significant effect on workplace safety.” - Columnist Jay Ambrose IT’S THE STUPID, STUPID “About 50% of the adults in this country are simply too damned ignorant and stupid to be living in a free society. These are people who cannot survive without someone else stepping forward to take care of them. . . . One thing that occurs to me is that I am unwilling to surrender my freedoms and economic liberty simply because these idiots can't cope. That means that they are a danger to me.” - Talk show host Neal Boortz, 5/24/04 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Chuck Muth’s News & Views is published by Citizen Outreach, a non-partisan, 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
