************************************* Snow Job "Washington was buried under 2 feet of snow this week. That's nothing new for this town, which gets snow jobs year round from the politicians of both parties (and the independents, too)." - Columnist Cal Thomas *********************************** Go Forth and e-Multiply If you know someone who might like to receive News & Views, you can sign 'em up at: http://www.chuckmuth.com. ************************************ The Patriots Rally for America Our friends over at the DC chapter of FreeRepublic.com invite "all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as their friends and families, veterans and their friends and families and all others who want to stand up for America and support our troops to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, March 1, 2003 for the Patriots Rally for America IV from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m at the outdoor Sylvan Theater on the grounds of the Washington Monument." For additional information, go to: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/846505/posts *********************************** Weapon of Mass Obstruction Sen. MINORITY Leader Tom "Stonewall" Daschle declared this week that President Bush's budget was "the wrong plan for the country" and "dead on arrival." Kinda like his own presidential aspirations. *********************************** Consider the Source "Others, for instance, Sen. Hillary Clinton, New York Democrat, say this Harvard Law School graduate (judicial nominee Miguel Estrada), upon whom the American Bar Association has conferred its highest rating, is not qualified - but then Hillary says a lot of things that turn out to be untrue." - Columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. ************************************ Freedom Fries Cubbie's restaurant in North Carolina is the talk of the town these days after changing the name of its "French" fries to "freedom fries." A sign in the store's window explains: "Because of Cubbie's support for our troops, we no longer serve French fries. We now serve freedom fries." An idea that just might catch on. ************************************* Flipping Off the French "In the wake of France's staunch opposition to the use of force to disarm Saddam Hussein, anti-France events are popping up across America to vent public disdain. 'This is not a pro-war rally. Just anti-French,' said Gavin Spittle, program director for KXNT-AM radio, which had a 14-ton armored vehicle flatten a variety of French goods. A few dozen people were on hand Tuesday in Las Vegas to watch a retired Navy veteran crush a pile of French bread, yogurt, and bottles of wine, vodka and Perrier water in the event dubbed 'KXNT's 'Flip-off' to the French.'" - WorldNetDaily.com, 2/20/03 ************************************ Why Do They Hate Us? "(A)t this moment, there are two civilizational wars taking place: Islamist hostility to Western liberty and European hostility to American values. Why this European hostility? First, Europe believes in socialism, while America believes in capitalism. . . . To many Americans, socialism is only an economic system, but for Western Europeans it has largely replaced Christianity as their faith." - Columnist Dennis Prager *********************************** Free Speech Takes Another Hit A 16-year-old student in Michigan wearing a t-shirt showing President Bush's face under the words "International Terrorist" was ordered to take the shirt off or go home by school officials claiming they were worried that it might inflame passions. Now, since the shirt trumpeted an anti-war and anti-Bush message, many conservatives might initially be inclined to support the school's decision. Not us. We still live by the creed that while we may not agree with what the little yahoo is saying, doggone it, unlike the ACLU, we'll be consistent in our defense of the bugger's right to say it. ************************************ Taxes, Gaming, Nevada, Maryland Taxes and gambling are government debates raging in two unrelated states. But the real problem in both is spending. Catch this latest edition of "Muth's Truths" at: http://www.chuckmuth.com/muthstruths.htm *********************************** Mac the Na�ve At this week's meeting of the Democratic National Committee, Clinton flunky and DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe described the beating his party took in the 2002 congressional elections as "a wake-up call for us." He explained that "our polls were wrong" and that "something happened that turned some very, very close elections against us." Yes. That something was a nation finally recognizing what eight years of Democrat "leadership" under Bill Clinton in the White House gave us: terrorist attacks, corporate scandals, goofy judges, North Korean nukes, illegal immigration loopholes, higher taxes, higher spending, inflated stocks, etc., etc., etc. ************************************ Closet Liberals "Conservative politicians may run on their conservative ideas, but liberal politicians do not get elected by running on liberalism. Indeed, a major part of most liberal election campaigns usually consist of trying to appear to be something other than liberals. Then, when their liberal past is exposed, there is great complaint in the media about negative advertising.' "The last Democrat to get elected president on an openly liberal platform was Lyndon B. Johnson, nearly 40 years ago. Since then, both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have won with a pretense of moderation." - Columnist Thomas Sowell *********************************** A Party Divided "The Democrats' long-dormant anti-war forces have been reawakened by President Bush's drive to topple Saddam Hussein. This renewed opposition is splitting the party in two. . . . War with Iraq is not the only issue threatening to tear the party apart. Mr. (Al) Sharpton's fiery, race-conscious campaign road show is frightening the Democrats' centrist rank-and-file, who fear he could become the party's worst nightmare." - Columnist Donald Lambro *********************************** French Democrats "Democrats might as well be Frenchmen when it comes to using military force against Saddam Hussein. The problem facing the Dems is that their anti-war party is way, way out of whack with the rest of Americans, and that's especially true of the liberal activists who pick presidential nominees in key early states like Iowa and New Hampshire..." - New York Post columnist Deborah Orin *********************************** The Dean of Left-Wing Dems Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean "blew the roof off" at the winter meeting of the Democrat National Committee this weekend by forcefully objecting to "the president's unilateral war on Iraq." Thunderous applause by DNC delegates reportedly erupted when the former Vermont governor said, "I'm Howard Dean, and I'm here to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." Yes, the far-left wing. The McGovern wing. The Mondale wing. The Dukakis wing. And we all know how THEY turned out. Dean's presentation included attacking tax cuts and school choice, with a little race-baiting on top. Following his performance, the little-known Dean was being compared to another little-known governor who became president in 1976: Jimmy Carter. And we all know how THAT turned out. *********************************** The Meathead Candidate "Hollywood political activist Rob Reiner yesterday endorsed former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean for president. . . . Mr. Reiner marched in an anti-war rally Saturday in Hollywood, along with actor Martin Sheen, another Dean supporter." - Greg Pierce, "Inside Politics," 2/21/03 ************************************ Urban Legend Folks, just so many of you will stop forwarding it along to me, please be advised that the emails headlined "Don't Drink Pepsi" because Pepsi supposedly is removing or has removed the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance on its soda cans is not true. *********************************** Subscribe Now to Litigation Nation Online The issue of lawsuit abuse is so critical and so big that we now publish a completely separate e-newsletter dedicated strictly to this subject titled "Litigation Nation Online."
