A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. -- G.

As always, it is an honor andprivilege to serve you as editor and publisher of TheFederalist! --Mark Alexander ______----********O********----______ THE FOUNDATION "In selecting men for office, let principle be yourguide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate -- lookto his character...." --Noah Webster ______----********O********----______ INSIGHT "Exceeding the bounds of authority is no more a right ina great than in a petty officer, no more justifiable in a king than in aconstable; but is so much the worse in him, in that he has more trust put inhim, has already a much greater share than the rest of his brethren, and issupposed from the advantages of his education, employment, and counsellors, tobe more knowing in the measures of right and wrong." --JohnLocke ______----********O********----______ ICTUS IMPRIMIS "When I have learnt to love God better than my earthlydearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.#160; In so faras I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God andinstead of God, I shall be moving towardsthe state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all.#160; When firstthings are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased." --C. S.Lewis ______----********O********----______ FAMILY "Being a role model is the most powerful form ofeducating. Youngsters need good role models more than they need critics. It isone of a parent's greatest responsibilities and opportunities. Too oftenfathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making living they forget tomake a life." --John Wooden, former UCLA Basketball Coach ______----********O********----______ OPERATION SHIELD OF STRENGTH Many of our readers saw the Fox News story on Shields ofStrength last Wednesday. We currently have more requests than we have sponsors. The Federalist will continue to conductOperation Shields of Strength as long as sponsors are willing to support thisproject. Complete information about OpSoS is on our website -- http://federalist.com/news/sos.asp ______----********O********----______ LIBERTY "The real story of this last year is not Saddam, butsomething deeper, symbolized by the bizarre persistence of the 'antiwar'movement even after the war was over. For a significant chunk of the Britishestablishment and for most of the governing class on the Continent, if it's achoice between an America-led West or no West at all they'll take the latter. That's the trend to watch in the year ahead." --Mark Steyn ______----********O********----______ THE GIPPER "Some people, even in my own country, look at the riotof experiment that is the free market and see only waste. What of all theentrepreneurs that fail? Well, many do, particularly the successful ones; oftenseveral times. And if you ask them the secret of their success, they'll tellyou it's all that they learned in their struggles along the way; yes, it's whatthey learned from failing. Like an athlete in competition or a scholar inpursuit of the truth, experience is the greatest teacher. And that's why it'sso hard for government planners, no matter how sophisticated, to ever substitutefor millions of individuals working night and day to make their dreams cometrue." --Ronald Reagan ______----********O********----______ GOVERNMENT "We have a species of parasites in America -- some callthem Democrats, who think that America's greatness comes from government.America's true greatness was brought about by the dynamic of a free peopleinteracting privately with one another while adhering to a system of lawscrafted to preserve and protect basic individual rights. These laws protect theright of the individual to act in his own best interests so long as he respectsthe rights of others to do the same. Big government is a threat to thoserights, and thus far George Bush has done absolutely nothing to fight the growthof government. ... Terrorists can destroy infrastructure and take innocentlives. Social Security and Medicare could destroy an economy.... Medicare andSocial Security are headed towards bankruptcy. With every single day thatpasses we have more people receiving those benefits and fewer people working andpaying taxes to fund those benefits. By the year 2020, those two budget itemsalone will account for 80 percent of all federal spending. That's about 16 yearsfrom now.... When taxes triple to fund these two entitlement programs, where doour citizens and businesses have to go to escape? The threat here is as real asthe threat of terrorism, and it's time for Bush to apply some of the sameleadership qualities he's shown in the war on terror in a war against runawayentitlements." --Neal Boortz ______----********O********----______ RE: THE LEFT "I believe the game plan is this: The Democrats willspend the next 11 months ruefully admitting that it's going to be a 50-statelandslide for Bush. Republicans will engage in their normal partisancheerleading, and everyone will seem to be agreed that Bush is going to win a50-state landslide. Then, if the final tally is anything short of that -- ifit's a 40-state landslide for Bush -- the New YorkTimes will be able to crow about Bush's poor showing and runheadlines like: 'Americans Still Deeply Divided on War.'" --Ann Coulter ______----********O********----______ POLITICAL FUTURES "Democrats are hoping now that 2004 will be a repeat ofthe election of 1992. But a review of the historical record suggests that theclosest parallels to next year's ballot are Richard Nixon's re-election in 1972,when he trounced ultraliberal George McGovern, and Reagan's impressive win overanother unabashed liberal, Walter Mondale, in 1984. On both occasions, thecountry was newly emerged from a recession, and confidence in the economy wasgrowing. ... As the current economic and stock market revival continues to votefor Bush, it seems near certain that he will win in a landslide. Huge progressin the war against terrorism will add to his totals, with the GOP picking upthree to four seats in the Senate and 10 to 12 in the House. And Bush will makeit seven out of 10 presidents since the end of WWII who rode a good economy backto the Oval Office." --Larry Kudlow ______----********O********----______ FOR THE RECORD "John Kerry emphasized...that now that Hussein wascaptured, the time was right to internationalize the U.S. mission there. (Please don't let British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Spanish Prime Minister JoseMaria Aznar, or Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi know that a sitting U.S.senator, not known to be on medication, is publicly complaining that the missionisn't 'internationalized' -- the diplomatic repercussions of an American leaderignoring their contributions and sacrifices could be severe.) Of course,American political candidates who stake out a 'this will never work, so stoptrying' stance are is in a tough position once the impossible is provedpossible. But in the early morning hours...they found a solution. First,release a short statement saluting the troops. The second step is to avoid anysense of backtracking or reconsideration of the candidate's previous position. In fact, the subtext of the statement should infer that the candidate had beenurging Paul Bremer, Gen. John Abizaid, and Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez to look in aspider hole at a farm in the town of Ad Dwara all along." --Jim Geraghty ______----********O********----______ SELECT READER COMMENTS (Our servers automatically delete"Reply" messages to this e-mail.

An Army chaplain here is meeting with 42 ArmyChaplains tomorrow morning, and he will distribute the 2000+ additional Shieldsto those guys, and they will have no problems getting them in to the hands oftheir troops. I'm handing Shields to humvee's full of Army troops going out ona convoy. I told them everyone is praying for them; they are the guys that haveit the worst over here, out on the streets of Baghdad. All of our fallenwarriors come through our flightline almost on a daily basis, so tell everyoneto keep praying." (From an Air Force officer who is a distributor for OperationShield of Strength.) "Your Christ-Mass special edition ranks with thegreat writings of our Founding Fathers. I was thrilled to my roots. I only wishevery school child in the U.S. of A. could have this read and explained indetail. Then all would understand the demonic hatred of this nation from withinand without. And why we are so great and prosperous. God bless and Merry ChristMass from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the valuable work." "HappyKwanzaa! As The Federalist would say, "I am shocked -- SHOCKED -- that" yourfine journal did not run a special edition for Kwanzaa, the six-day celebrationof Nguzo Saba (the Seven Principles of African culture) observed from December26 to January 1. Why even George Bush offered a proclamation in support of itsobservance. ;-)" Editor's Reply: Once again, we missed Kwanzaa -- thatfarce fabricated by Marxist sociopath Ron Karenga in 1966. Did we mention thatKwanzaa's patron saint was convicted for torturing two black women -- hestripped them naked, then whipped them with electric line cords, beat them witha karate baton and then finished by hot-branding them. Oh, but happy Kwanzaa --really! "A friend put me onto TheFederalist. It's absolutely great. I thoroughly enjoy reading itand it provides outstanding reference information. I now forwardThe Federalist to many friends. As aretired USA LtCol, I now work in a very liberal environment (teaching), and yourarticles find their way to some of our left-wing proponents such as our school'sjournalism teacher. I've made her the target of my "educate the educators"campaign. Your articles are informative, witty, and useful for countering theanti-Christian bias we frequently deal with. Please keep it up." "Just aquick note to thank you and all the staff of TheFederalist for all you are doing to encourage and enlighten. I cannotthink of a greater gift I receive in the contents of my email inbox than TheFederalist. I also can't think of a better way to spend $25, as I have done, tosupport your efforts. I say this not to toot my own horn, but to let you know Iput my money where my praise is. Thank you again!" "I got the e-mailthank you note from Mr. Alexander, but it is I who must thank-you. I fear thereare many in this country who would prefer you not send your messages out to the'common folk' such as myself. You are truly a beacon of freedom and commonsense. If you and others like you are stifled I am afraid life as we once knewit will be entirely finished. Press on and be ever vigilante!" "As astudent in a doctoral program (public administration), I have to deal withfar-left liberalism on a daily basis, to the point that I've been threatenedwith failure for expressing my 'out-of-date' conservative views.The Federalist provides a refuge from thisand a powerful source of arguments with which to arm myself. Thank you for'being there.' Keep up the good work." ______----********O********----______ THE LAST WORD "A young woman was about to finish her first year ofcollege. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, but her fatherwas a staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her father on his beliefsand his opposition to high taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and askedhow she was doing in school. She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA, but it wasreally tough. She had to study all the time and never had time to go out andparty. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many collegefriends because of spending all her time studying. On top of that, the part-timejob her father insisted she keep left absolutely no time for anything else. Heasked, 'How is your friend Mary?' She replied that Mary was barely getting by.She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, but was very popular on campus, didn't have ajob, and went to all the parties. She was always complaining about not havingany money, but didn't want to work. Why, she often didn't show up for classesbecause she was hung over. Dad then asked his daughter why she didn't go to theDean's office and request that 1.0 be taken off her 4.0 and given it to herfriend who only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a respectable 3.0 GPA.Then, she could also give her friend half the money she'd earned from her job sothat her friend would no longer be broke. The daughter angrily fired back, 'Thatwouldn't be fair. I worked really hard for my grades and money, and Mary justloafs. Why should her laziness and irresponsibility be rewarded with half ofwhat I've worked for?' The father slowly smiled and said, 'Welcome to theRepublican Party'." --Unattributed Lex et Libertas -- Semper Vigilo, Paratus, et Fidelis! MarkAlexander, Publisher, for the editors and staff.
