************************************ Let's Beat Xmas Rush & Dump Chaffee Now "Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, says he believes Sen. Lincoln Chafee, the liberal Rhode Island Republican, could become a Democrat. But he does not foresee Sen. Zell Miller, the Georgia Democrat who often votes with Republicans, switching parties." - Greg Pierce's "Inside Politics," 10/20/02 ************************************ Telephone, Television & Tell-a-Friend If you know someone who might like to join the growing army of conservatives (and a few Palm Beach Democrats) who receive our FREE Chuck Muth's News & Views briefings, just go to http://www.chuckmuth.com. ************************************ Treating Terrorists Like the Mad Dogs They Are "You can't negotiate with the terrorists. You've got to put them down." - Former Reagan Secretary of State George Shultz ************************************ Coalition Coming Back Together "The U.N. Security Council is likely to give its imprimatur to a resolution (for action against Iraq) acceptable to America; France and Russia, which both have extensive economic interests in Iraq, are merely holding out for the best deal. That would give America the support of every major European country except Germany, which is demurring because of its 'tradition of pacifism'--a tradition that exists only because we pacified 'em!" - Best of the Web, 10/20/02 ************************************ The REAL Peacemaker: Ronaldus Maximus "(Former President Jimmy) Carter's weak-kneed hand-wringing over Iran's seizure of American hostages did nothing to get them freed. But after he was defeated by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 elections, the Iranians decided to return the hostages just before someone with guts and backbone took over the White House. "Those who think that weakness is the path to peace would of course think of Carter as a peacemaker. But the great peacemaker of our time was the man who brought the Cold War to an end by building up military forces on a scale that the Soviet economy could not match - Ronald Reagan. "...While the Nobel Prize continues to the be the most prestigious in the world - and deservedly so in fields like science and economics - the Nobel Peace Prize has been given to a terrorist thug like Yasser Arafat, so perhaps Jimmy Carter is a worthy successor to him, even if he is one of the sorriest presidents and ex-presidents in the history of the United States." - Columnist Thomas Sowell ************************************ Another Clinton Chicken Comes Home to Roost "President Clinton will be remembered by history for only one thing, which is a bit of a shame since his record is so thoroughly shabby and dishonorable that it deserves closer study. "Mr. Clinton's contribution to our vulnerability to terror has been well documented, and now comes news that another of his foreign policies has come to fruition. The North Koreans have admitted what close observers have suspected all along - that they have a nuclear weapons program and may have already produced a number of bombs. (Oh, and by the way, worshippers of arms control treaties kindly note: North Korea is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.) "...The Clinton administration officials believed their policies toward North Korea were a success. By 'engaging' Pyongyang, they believed, they had avoided war. Neville Chamberlain thought the same. Instead, the appeasement merely emboldened the North Koreans. . . . When strength and resolve were required, Bill Clinton supplied weakness and legerdemain. And in this, as in the war on terror, he has bequeathed a more dangerous world to his successor." - Columnist Mona Charen ********************************* Long Savings on Long Distance!

"As David Ray, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) observed, referring to an illegal alien as an 'undocumented immigrant ' is 'like calling a bank robbery an 'unauthorized withdrawal.' ' That is precisely the point. How can we pretend to be serious about protecting our borders when prominent politicians so casually dismiss illegal activity? How can we claim to be fighting the war on terrorism on all fronts when we are unwilling to enforce immigration laws?" - Columnist David Limbaugh ************************************ Green With Black Envy "The key question is why this black Supreme Court justice should raise such hostility from some blacks. Why is Justice (Clarence) Thomas seemingly so threatening to members of the traditional black-leadership class? "The answer may be that he opposes their view that government must be the prime engine in solving the problems of the black poor and oppressed, and, in so doing, he threatens their legitimacy as leaders - as well as the rewards and benefits that come with that leadership." - Columnist John Foster-Bey, National Review Online ************************************ Hey, If It Was Good Enough for Lautenberg. "James Annibella is asking a judge to recognize a constitutional right to procrastinate. Annibella 'filed suit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of Colorado's voter registration law after he missed the deadline for registering and learned he is ineligible to vote Nov. 5,' the Denver Post reports. After he moved a year ago, he neglected to update his voter registration in time for the deadline, which is 29 days before the election." - Best of the Web, 10/20/02 ************************************ Those Poor, Poor Dock Workers "After being forced back to work temporarily by a federal judge, the 10,500-member International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union (ILWU) obstinately refuses to resolve a contract dispute that so far has cost the U.S. economy nearly $10 billion. . . . Longshormen are among the most highly paid union workers in the country. Currently, the average annual salary for a full-time longshore worker is $106,833." - "Inside Washington," Human Events, 10/21/02 *********************************** A Conservative Yankee In King Kamehameha's Court "Besides, Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii) declared, re-electing (recently deceased Democrat Rep. Patsy) Mink would be a 'tribute' to the late House member, a fixture in Hawaii politics since she was elected to the territorial legislature back in 1956. "'Foul!' cried the Republican nominee in the 2nd District, conservative State Rep. Bob McDermott, who had been waging a spirited race while Mink was alive. To pay tribute to his former opponent, McDermott said, would be to praise her work or contribute to the memorial fund set up by her husband and daughter. But, he added, 'it is not a tribute when one creates a situation that will cost Hawaii taxpayers an estimated $2 million to conduct two special elections." "...A U.S. Marine Corps veteran of Desert Storm and father of three, the 39-year-old McDermott worked as a manager of area coffee plants until deciding to run for the state legislature. In an area that is historically Democratic, he has been re-elected twice - never trimming his ideological sails. "'I'm pro-life, I support the 2nd Amendment, and I support tax cuts - there I am,' McDermott told me over lunch during a recent trip to Washington. 'I meet people, I tell them where I stand and, even when they don't agree with me, they will at least respect that I don't try to be something I'm not.'" - John Gizzi, Human Events, 10/21/02 ********************************* Conservative Books for Your Christmas List "When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country" - G.

I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can." - Sen.
