*********************************** Tube Tip Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) is scheduled to appear on FoxNews' "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight, December 10th, to discuss issues regarding immigration reform. Specifically, Rep. Tancredo will discuss the Matricula Consular identification card issued by the Mexican Consulate. Tancredo is one tough cookie who doesn't sugar-coat it when it comes to dealing with ILLEGAL immigrants. Might want to tune in for this one. ********************************** There's Safety in Numbers If you know someone who might like to receive News & Views, you can sign 'em up at: http://www.chuckmuth.com.

Rosenthal *********************************** Blix's Theater of the Absurd ".(C)hief weapons inspector Mr. Hans Blix...announced that he would not turn over Saddam's report to the United States government until U.N. 'experts' had time to first go through the documents to 'purge [the] documents of any technical information that, in the wrong hands, would lead to proliferation, meaning the spread of deadly weapons to rogue states or terrorists.' In other words, Mr. Blix is worried that the U.S. government might pass on Saddam's scientific secrets to terrorists." - Washington Times editorial, 12/9/02 *********************************** Sore-Loserman Singing Same Old Tune "Tax cuts aimed at the very wealthiest Americans, designed to take effect several years from now - that's not an economic policy. That is greed and payback." - Al Gore, ABC's "This Week," 12/8/02 *********************************** The Quirky Genius "The Administration missed its opportunity to get the best out of (Treasury Secretary) Paul O'Neill. He should have been sold to the public and the Congress, right from the start, as the Administration's 'quirky genius.' In that way, when he said something very smart - which he did with great regularity - they could have said, 'See? That's the genius.' And when he trotted off to Africa with Bono: 'See? That's the quirky part.' " - Rich Galen, "Mullings," 12/8/02 ********************************* The Politics of Racial Division "Since President Bush and the Republicans were the hands-down winners in the recent midterm-election battle, it appears only one Democrat running for president emerged from the electoral carnage with not so much as a flesh wound. Who was that? None other than the Rev. Al Sharpton. "Why Sharpton? Because his analysis of the Democratic Party's trouncing - and his remedy for winning in 2004 - has been eagerly accepted by the congressional leaders of his party: Namely, minorities - but especially blacks - were not sufficiently motivated to turn out to the polls on election day. "...So if a declining, or at least stagnant, minority turnout is now the accepted wisdom for the 2002 losses, how will the Democrats energize minority voters in 2004? That's easy. The same way they did in 2000: Demonize George W. Bush as the reincarnation of Bull Conner, the fire-hose-wielding Birmingham sheriff who tried to stomp out the wildfires of racial integration every chance he could in the early 1960s." - Columnist Edward Blum, National Review Online ********************************* Hot Books for Your Christmas List!

UAL seems to be the latest case of (employee ownership) failure. Workers there have owned a majority of the stock since 1994 - half of that owned by the pilots. Yet UAL has the highest salaries for pilots of any domestic airline - receiving as much as $306,000 per year. This is $43,000 more than at the next highest-paid airline, Delta, and twice what pilots at Southwest Airlines make. No wonder the company is losing money." - Columnist Bruce Bartlett ********************************* An Agency Whose Time Has Gone "Last week U.S. Attorney William S. Duffey Jr. announced the arrest and indictment of Social Security Administration employees in Atlanta, Ga., for selling Social Security numbers to illegal aliens. . . . If a Social Security number can be purchased in Fulton County, Ga., numbers can likely be bought in other locales as well. If Social Security numbers can be purchased, so also can other identification documents. It recently came to light that a U.S. consular office was selling visas to Muslims. The U.S. government is very relaxed about illegal aliens. Little is done to protect our borders or to find illegals and deport them. As the INS does not perform its tasks, why does it exist?" - Columnist Paul Craig Roberts ********************************* Do-It-Yourself Border Patrols "A former kindergarten teacher who has organized a 600-strong militia in Arizona will station 50 armed militia members on public land this weekend to 'protect their country' against an invasion of illegal aliens, warning federal authorities - including President Bush - not to interfere. " 'I dare the president of the United States to arrest Americans who are protecting their own country,' said Chris Simcox, the teacher-turned-newspaper owner who has formed the Tombstone, Ariz., Militia. 'We will no longer tolerate the ineptness of the government in dealing with these criminals and drug dealers. It is a monumental disgrace that our government is letting the American people down, turning us into the expendable casualties of the war on terrorism,' he said. "Mr. Simcox, owner of the Tombstone Tumbleweed, said the armed militia members would patrol public land to detain illegal aliens every weekend until Mr. Bush puts U.S. troops on the border to stop the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants coming into the state each year and the resulting vandalism of public and private land." - Washington Times, 12/9/02 ************************************ Long Savings on Long Distance!

Through the committee's Web site (www.bordc.org), similar committees have formed nationwide. . . . On Oct. 30, for example, Santa Fe's City Council enacted 'a resolution supporting the Bill of Rights and civil liberties for Santa Feans.' It instructs the city's congressional delegation to 'actively monitor the implementation of (Attorney General John) Ashcroft's USA Patriot Act, any new Executive Orders . . . and actively work for the repeal of those portions that violate the guaranteed civil liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights.' "...The legacy of committees that defend the Bill of Rights now stems back to the pre-American Revolutionary Committees of Correspondence, initiated in Boston in 1767 by Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty. . . . Through these committees, Sam Adams and other patriots reported on the assaults on Americans' liberties by the king, his ministers and his officers and governors in the colonies." - Columnist Nat Hentoff ********************************* Wanna Be Miss America? Then Go to LI. "Young ladies who dream of being crowned Miss America can forget about charm school. Enroll instead at Washington-based Leadership Institute [www.leadershipinstitute.org]. It so happens that the second Leadership Institute graduate in five years - Erika Harold - has won the title of Miss America. The newly crowned 2003 Miss America joins Miss America 1999 Nicole Johnson, also a graduate from the institute. "Rather than learning how to hold your chin high and stroll down a runway, the institute identifies, recruits, trains and places conservatives - even, obviously, in the Miss America pageant." - John McCaslin's "Inside the Beltway," 12/9/02 ********************************* Tax Man Eying Internet "A leading tax reform advocate is warning consumers that this holiday season might be the last to enjoy tax-free shopping on the Internet. The National Taxpayers Union, a group that lobbies for lower taxes, claims mounting budget deficits are prompting several states to consider a streamlined approach to Internet taxes. Even Republicans have lined up in support. . . . Republican Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt has been an outspoken leader of the movement, along with outgoing South Dakota Gov. Bill Janklow, a Republican who was elected to the state's at-large congressional seat." - CNSNews.com, 12/9/02 ********************************** Muth's Truths What's in the Democrat Leadership Council's double-super-secret Thanksgiving Day memorandum of doom and gloom?
