***************************************** Bob Hurt's Defective Gene Pool Leigh Ann Courington of Jasper, Alabama wrote to inform us that Pocahontas did NOT marry Capt. John Smith and that she AGREES with Bob Hurt's views against inter-racial "breeding." But that's not the scary part. Guess what she does for a living? History teacher. Also, Dr. Williams of Montana writes, "There are millions who agree 100% with Mr. Hurt. Unfortunately you are not one of them. Thanks for removing me from your subscriber list." With pleasure. Adios, Doc. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Then there was this from reader Don Dickson: "No offense Chuck, but I agree with Bob Hurt of Clearwater. If we continue to let mixed races breed, what do we have ? Dumber Blondes with a natural tan. Less people qualified to drive the bus, and people so stupid, they can't work at micky'Ds'." Oh, how clever. On the other hand, "this guy (Bob Hurt) from Clearwater really has it all together, huh?" asks News & Views reader Tom Vernon. "Any semi-competent geneticist could blow him out of the water but something tells me he still wouldn't get the picture. If as he suggests, racial mixing inherently breeds stupidity, the fence protecting his gene pool apparently wasn't built quite high enough. In fact I think someone must have left the gate open!" Adds Bonnie Johnson of Waterloo, Indiana: "I beg to differ with that fellow who says Asians are smarter than whites & whites are smarter than Hispanics & blacks. I'm white but I know that with hard work, good study habits, and someone who will teach the basics in school, anyone can make it no matter what their racial makeup." Here, here. This IS America, after all. ***************************************** With Liberty and Colorblind Justice for All "The time for America to break free from its obsession with classifying and dividing her citizens by 'race' has come. . . . Let us declare anew our devotion to equal treatment and defend that principle against those - even the Supreme Court of the United States - who would deprive us of it." - Ward Connerly, founder and chairman of the American Civil Rights Institute ***************************************** Supreme Foolishness "Columnists have had a field day with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's Supreme Court decision (on affirmative action). In effect, Justice O'Connor declared diversity to be a 'compelling state interest' that trumps the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. . . . The most striking feature of the decision is the absence of legal argument. The ruling rests on sociological babble about 'critical mass diversity.' "...Why does a ruling that is not based in legal or constitutional analysis mean anything...? We would have obtained just as good a ruling if we had asked a drug addict. Any fool could have delivered the O'Connor decision. That is what makes it a landmark." - Columnist Paul Craig Roberts ***************************************** It's Called "Freedom" ".(A) private business ought to have the right to hire and fire as it pleases, just as employees may quit and customers may refuse to patronize the store." - Columnist Larry Elder on a discrimination lawsuit recently filed against Abercrombie & Fitch ***************************************** Politically Correct Security Risk "Federal government warnings that identification cards issued by Mexican officials are unreliable and a threat to national security have not swayed supporters nationwide, including municipalities, police departments and banks, who say they will continue to recognize them as legal credentials. "...Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, yesterday asked Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge to denounce publicly the recognition of the ID cards. "'Given the lack of coherent policy in this issue and the ongoing security threat acceptance of these cards poses, your leadership on this matter is urgently needed,' Mr. Tancredo wrote in a letter to Mr. Ridge." - Washington Times, 7/3/03 ***************************************** Prescription for Disaster "You are going to have truck drivers paying for (Microsoft billionaire) Bill Gates' prescription bills." - Heritage Foundation president Ed Feulner on Teddy Kennedy's threat to filibuster the prescription drug bill in the Senate if it is "means tested" based on income rather making it a universal entitlement the way she-who-shall-not-be-named intended back in the early 90s during her husband 's presidency ****************************************** Hey Big Spender "(President Bush's) fiscal record is appalling - spending is out of control. The fiscal record of the Bush administration makes Clinton look downright responsible." - Ed Crane, president of the Cato Institute ***************************************** Here's a Shocker "Environmental groups overwhelmingly backed Democratic candidates in the last election cycle, contributing more than 90 percent of their political contributions to them, financial reports show. . . . 'Unfortunately, the Sierra Club and the LCV (League of Conservation Voters) are more interested in protecting Democratic presidential candidates than they are in protecting the environment," (Christine Iverson, spokesman for the Republican National Committee) said." - Washington Times, 7/3/03 ***************************************** And Here's Another Shocker "National Education Association officials and teacher members criticized President Bush's school accountability program yesterday at the union's annual convention, just a day after the president renewed his call for educators to challenge stagnation and mediocrity in their profession." - Washington Times, 7/3/03 ***************************************** Hittin' the Nail on the Head The National Education Association is having a conniption over the president 's "No Child Left Behind" program which, among other things, requires testing which might show that NEA members ain't up to snuff in their classrooms. So they're putting together a lawsuit to challenge the law, an effort Secretary of Education Rod Paige referred to as "a coalition of the whining." Such refreshing, plain-spoken candor. ***************************************** Jailing Tax Opponents "Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn asked the Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday to order the Legislature to raise taxes after lawmakers failed to fund a new public schools budget," reports Greg Pierce in his "Inside Politics" column. The lawsuit could mean time in the pokey for the anti-tax legislators. Nevada Attorney General Brian Sandoval told the Las Vegas Sun that if the tax hike isn't approved, "there are three remedies." According to Sandoval, the elected officials could be fined $1,000, or sentenced to 90 days in jail or cited for contempt. For opposing a billion dollar tax hike? Any of that Boston tea still lying around? ***************************************** With Allies Like This... ".(E)vangelicals view issues such as abortion and preservation of traditional marriage and the family as more important than tax policy or even foreign policy. ...Republicans need to heed one warning that the savvy ones have known was true in the past: If we are abandoned, we will stay home on Election Day." - Chris Luketic of Solana Beach, CA, Washington Times letter-to-the-editor, 7/3/03 ***************************************** Sshhhh! Don't Give 'Em Any Ideas! "While the food police are out in force, could Sony and all those toy and video companies be next? The equation is that lack of exercise in addition to more food leads to obesity. But kids no longer go out and play and exercise because they are too busy on video games. Some lawyer will come up with a way to blame them, and sue them next." - News & Views reader "Barry" ****************************************** Maggie and Ron "People were often struck by how closely President Reagan and I could work together. But there was no secret. Before coming to power, each of us had drunk deep from the same well of ideas. . . . We weren't what are sometimes called 'pragmatists.' We used that old-fashioned short cut to the right results, which consist of right principles. We didn't need to ask ourselves those endless questions about 'what works?' - we knew what worked. Small government. Low taxes. Sound money. Private property. Enterprise. "We knew, too, what didn't work - namely socialism in every shape or form. And how many forms there are! Socialism is like one of those horrible viruses. You no sooner discover a remedy for one version, when it spontaneously evolves into another. . . . Nowadays socialism is more often dressed up as environmentalism, feminism, in international concern for human rights. . . . New slogans; old errors." - Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ************************************ 4.75 cents-per-minute Long Distance * All state-to-state calls in the continental U.S. * Residential or commercial * 6-second billing increments * 24 hours/day * 7 days/week * No access codes * No minimums * No activation fees * Calling Card Rate is 10 cents per minute * No monthly service charge unless your bill is less than $20.00 a month (then a $1.99 service charge will apply) * No need to change your local phone company * No hassles * Easy sign-up. * And a small portion of each bill goes to help continue publishing our FREE Chuck Muth's News & Views e-newsletter.
