Regarding the idea
of a constitutional amendment about marriage, I’ve thought long and
hard about this issue. I’ve reached the conclusion that it would not
be a good idea. What I do believe is that people like the mayor of San
Francisco need to be prosecuted for breaking the law, just like you
and I would be if we broke a law. I don’t appreciate selective enforcement
of our laws based on politically correct dictates. Here’s what Judge
Moore has to say on the subject:

JUDGE
ROY MOORE ON MARRIAGE AMENDMENT

Q: “Do you support a constitutional amendment
to prohibit gay marriage?”

A: “I certainly understand that something needs to be done to stop
mayors and judges and others who are disregarding the law. But I think
the procedure to correct these problems lies within the Constitution
itself, which doesn’t need to be amended. You cannot correct every moral
deficit created by the courts by constitutional amendment. If we make
a constitutional amendment that says marriage is between a man and a
woman, what stops a court from saying that means a man can marry his
sister, thereby making incest legal? The problem is the courts.”

– Former Alabama Judge Roy Moore in a New York Times interview, 3/7/04
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/07/weekinreview/07kirk.html

THE
SPY WHO LOVED DEMOCRATS

“It turns out the four members of Congress
that (accused spy Susan Lindauer) worked for were all Democrats. She
worked for some of them for a short time, and one says she doesn’t remember
her. Fine. But it’s interesting how the media is not really reporting
that she only worked for Democrats. The AP story initially reported
that they were only ‘members of Congress.’ The party affiliation
of those members wasn’t mentioned.

“There is, though, one newspaper out there (that) will name names,
and that is The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In today’s AJC you’ll
see a headline which reads ‘Accused Spy is Cousin of Bush Staffer.’
Here we have someone who has worked for four congressional Democrats
.. and ONLY congressional Democrats … and our local leftist rag identifies
her as the cousin of a Bush staffer. Anyone who doesn’t believe the
media is biased needs their head examined.”

– Talk-show host Neal Boortz, 3/12/04

LOSING
JOBS? THANK YOUR TEACHERS UNION

“Although ‘new job creation is lagging
badly’ for the moment, (Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan)
said, the best way for Congress to help Americans get and keep good-paying
jobs is to improve their math and technical skills so companies won’t
be tempted to outsource to better-trained workers in China and India.
. . . Congress needs to promote both the teaching of basics such as
arithmetic, geometry and calculus, Mr. Greenspan said, as well as the
abstract reasoning that workers will need to survive in a highly competitive
job market.”

– Washington Times, 3/12/04

FLIP-FLOPPING
ON THE FLIP-FLOPPER

“Of course, in the end, like a good liberal
Democrat, Howard Dean went back on everything he said about John Kerry
during the campaign and came calling at the Kerry headquarters to embrace
the front-runner and ‘work closely with John Kerry to make sure
we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around.’ .
. . How interesting that in just a few short weeks, Howard Dean has
now flip-flopped on the flip-flopper. Poor Deaniacs…they thought their
guy was not like the others. . . . Looks like the Deanie babies were
all taken for a ride. Oh well…there’s always Ralph Nader.”

– Talk-show host Neal Boortz

KERRY
CAMPAIGN IN SUM

“Those are my principles. If you don’t like
them I have others.”

– Groucho Marx

The Flip Flop Man,
just possibly your next president…are you ready?

REMEMBER
HEINZ 57?

“Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat,
is fond of calling corporate chief executive officers who employ foreigners
‘Benedict Arnolds,’ after the despicable Revolutionary War
turncoat. But look at H.J. Heinz & Co., the family business of Mr.
Kerry and his wife Teresa. Of the 79 factories the food-processor owns,
57 are overseas.”

– James Glassman of TechCentralStation.com

THE
TAX MAN COMETH

“John Kerry has voted for higher taxes 350
times and his numbers for new spending don’t add up. His campaign
trail promises mean that he is going to raise taxes by at least $900
billion.”

– Bush/Cheney campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt, 3/10/04

SCARY
KERRY

“After a speech in Chicago, (John) Kerry
said this to a supporter: ‘Let me tell you, we’ve just begun to
fight. We’re going to keep pounding. These guys are the most crooked,
you know, lying group I’ve ever seen. It’s scary.’ . . . We’re
actually not sure it was Kerry, rather than his interlocutor, who said
‘It’s scary,’ but in either case it plays right into the stereotypes
of liberals as wimps. You can almost imagine tough-guy Kerry installing
night lights in the presidential bedroom to ward off the right-wing
monsters.”

– James Taranto, Best of the Web, 3/11/04

FROM
MY FRIEND IN CALIFORNIA

Isn’t
this comforting!!!

U.S.
immigration employee sold $1 million in phony work permits

A
U.S. immigration employee and a Chilean accomplice pleaded guilty Tuesday
to selling at least 110 phony work permits to other illegal immigrants.
Isidro Guerrero Fernandez, 32, and his twice-deported street recruiter,
Miguel Raggio, 50, generated more than $1 million from the scheme, according
to investigators with the Department of Homeland Security inspector
general.

SEX
AND TAXES

“We at the Spectator think of tax cuts, in
fact, a bit like we think of sex. When they are good, they are very,
very good. And when they are bad, they are still pretty good.”

– Alfred Regnery, American Spectator, March 2004

FOUNDING WISDOM

“Religion and government will both exist
in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”

– Founding Father James Madison

A
VERY SIMPLE BALL GAME

“The Bush side, with the Democratic nominee chosen, will spend
the next 8 months and millions of dollars exposing Kerry for what he
is: a flip-flopping liberal who is soft on terrorism, and someone who
wants to turn our military over to the UN to protect us. John Kerry
thinks terrorism is a law enforcement problem and George Bush views
them as an enemy that must be destroyed. It’s no more complicated than
that.”

– Talk-show host Neal Boortz

SENSITIVITY
and COMPLAINERS

I am sick and tired of “sensivity.” In fact, I think I’m
getting sensitive about sensitivity…and I’m going to complain about
it. Read on:

“Air
Force Academy commanders admonished cadets for using academy e-mail
to tout Mel Gibson’s movie about the crucifixion of Jesus. In an e-mail
obtained by The Associated Press, Superintendent Lt. Gen. John Rosa
said the cadets’ use of an academy e-mail distribution list to encourage
people to see ‘The Passion of the Christ’ was inappropriate.
. . . He also admonished cadets for displaying fliers for the movie
in the cafeteria, according to the e-mail sent Wednesday. At least one
academy graduate complained to Rosa that the students’ e-mail was insensitive
to cadets who are not Christians, Academy spokesman Johnny Whitaker
said.”

– Associated Press, 3/5/04

ENDORSED
BY MR. KIM…SAYS IT ALL, DOESN’T IT?

“John
Kerry has picked up an endorsement of sorts, from Kim Jong Il, the lunatic
communist dictator of North Korea, the Financial Times reports: ‘In
the past few weeks, speeches by the Massachusetts senator have been
broadcast on Radio Pyongyang and reported in glowing terms by the Korea
Central News Agency (KCNA), the official mouthpiece of Mr. Kim’s communist
regime. . . . Rather than dealing with President George W. Bush and
hawkish officials in his administration, Pyongyang seems to hope victory
for the Democratic candidate on November 2 would lead to a softening
in US policy towards the country’s nuclear weapons programme.’
Oh well, things could be worse for Kerry. At least Al Gore hasn’t endorsed
him.”

– James Taranto, Best of the Web, 3/5/04

DEMOCRAT
vs DEMOCRATIC

I
often hear and read, in various contexts, about the “democratic”
party. If people knew what they were talking about, they would say the
Democrat Party as they say the Republican Party. From my perch, I would
say that conservative Republicans are the ones who truly believe in
being democratic as opposed to Democrats who truly want to tell us how
we are to live and what we can and cannot say. So, let’s don’t confuse
democratic with Democrat.

SECULAR
AND LIBERAL

It
occurs to me that in recent years the words secular and liberal have
become synonymous. There are those who are saying that The Passion
is dividing Americans…I suspect that if there’s a division, it is
between me and liberal securalists. Am
I being redundant?

DO
WE WANT TO GO BACK?

What to remember come November by Victor Davis Hanson

Liberals
ridicule the Bush doctrine because they claim to be idealistic, and
resent that force, rather than reason alone, is sometimes needed. Islamicists
hate it, because if Afghanistan and Iraq work, they are largely through.
Moderate dictatorships in the region slur it because they can no longer
triangulate with us to garner aid and a pass on their own repression.

RULER
OF THE WORLD

“I present to you the lead paragraph in an
article which appears in today’s edition of The Independent from London:
‘If the human race as a whole, rather than 50 states plus the District
of Colombia, could cast a ballot this coming November, John Kerry would
surely win the presidency by a landslide.’ Now … just why is
this? . . . It’s just this simple: These people would vote for Kerry
because he would weaken us and empower them.”

– Talk-show host Neal Boortz

DAY
LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT

“Here’s an interesting promise from a John
Kerry position paper titled ‘A New Army of Patriots: John Kerry’s
Plan to Enlist Citizens in the Cause of a Safer, Stronger, and More
Secure America.’ ‘In a Kerry Administration, no university
that receives federal aid will be allowed to ban the ROTC from their
campus, except for religious reasons.’

“This is actually already the law of the land, thanks to the Solomon
Amendment, which the House added to a 1996 defense spending bill. Kerry
voted against final passage of the bill, the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 1996, but we can’t find any record of his taking
a position on the ROTC issue at the time. It’s possible that his ‘no’
vote simply reflected a general aversion to spending money on defense.”

– James Taranto, Best of the Web, 3/4/04

PUT
ON YOUR BOOTS

“This will be the dirtiest, filthiest presidential
campaign in modern American history. . . . Kerry knows he’ll be given
a pass by the media and his party faithful for anything he says and
does on the road to defeating Bush, who has become the news media’s
least popular chief executive since Nixon.”

– Larry Sabato, “ Political Crystal Ball,” 3/3/04

THE

Silly
people listen to Michael Moore. Silly people issue marriage licenses
to couples ineligible to receive them because they feel that it is important
to do so. Silly folks think Dick Cheney is still running Halliburton
and that Halliburton is running the war. Silly people make ads for websites
that feature George W. Bush morphing into Hitler. Silly people think
we’ve got Osama bin Laden stashed away in a cave waiting for a September
debut. Silly people look to Maureen Dowd for insight into the world.

“Academy
Awards. Didn’t watch. Don’t care. As I write this particular note I
have no idea what movie won, or what actors got to gush and thank everyone
from their third grade teacher to their gynecologist for all of their
success in life. Bread and circuses. It’s clear why politicians — especially
of the leftist variety — love Hollywood. The more attention we pay
to what goes on in Hollywood, the less attention we pay to what these
politicians are trying to do to us in Washington. To those of you who
didn’t tune in to simply another in an seemingly endless succession
of mindless awards shows … congratulations.”

FOUNDING
WISDOM FROM THE ORIGINAL KING OF BEERS

“The
Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United
States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”

– Samuel Adams

SELL-OUT
GETS JUST DESSERTS

“(Smith
& Wesson) cut a deal with the Clinton administration in 2000 and
agreed to require background checks at gun shows and install safety
locks on all new guns. S&W’s peace powwow with the Clintonites was
supposed to be a political triumph and bring security to the gun industry.
S&W would go forth and proselytize for the idea that Dems were a
party gun owners could do business with after all. It didn’t turn out
that way. S&W became mud in the eyes of gun customers, sales plummeted
40% and the company was effectively taken over on the cheap by Saf-T-Hammer,
a firm that makes trigger locks. Adding insult to injury last week,
the new chairman installed by Saf-T-Hammer was himself forced to resign
after it was revealed that, 30 years earlier, he had done time for a
string of armed robberies.”

– Political Diary,

GO
JANE, GO

“If you listen to the show you will know
that I don’t toss the word ‘treason
‘ around lightly. . . . Jane Fonda? Now THERE was a traitor. . . . It
is my
firm belief that Jane Fonda is directly responsible for the deaths of
many
American servicemen in Vietnam. She is directly responsible for wives
having to go on without their husbands, and children growing up without
their father.

“…Jane Fonda was a friend of the enemy, and an enemy of the United
States. She richly earned and deserves to this day the enmity of the
people of the United States. And she was a woman with whom John Kerry
had no problems appearing with in his anti-war cause. Jane Fonda should
have been tried, prosecuted and convicted of treason. She should still
be serving time in a federal prison today. She is despised by mainstream
America.

Deservedly
so.

“So … keep at it, Hanoi Jane. The heartland of this country knows
who you are, and they know what you did. They know that there are American
servicemen who never came home because of your actions. Give your cell
phone number to CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC and the rest of the news
outlets out there. Let them know that you’re ready at any time to appear
and stand up for John Kerry. Make yourself a leech on his backside.
Let all of America know how proud you are of this man and what a great
president he will be.”

– Talk-show host Neal Boortz

THE
WAR ZERO WHO WOULD BE KING

“I’m a citizen of Massachusetts. (God help
me.) For going on 30 years now,
I’ve
watched John Kerry’s career with a mixture of fascination, revulsion
and amusement. John F. Kerry. The ‘F’ stands not for fraud or fabulously
coiffed – as one would suspect — but for the Forbes family of Boston-Brahmin
fame. His mama was one of the Back Bay elite, don’t you know. However
– a la the chameleon-like Zelig of the Woody Allen movie – nothing about
Kerry is what it seems.

“He’s Irish, right? Well, actually, he’s part Jewish. (His paternal
grandparents were Kohn, before they goy-icized their name.) He’s a war
hero who became an anti-war activist, when it looked politically advantageous.

He’s
a man with a common touch — who married two rich women. One he dumped,
when she was suffering from depression, after she bore him two kids.

“A graduate of the snooty St. Paul’s and Yale – member of Skull
and Bones, currently married to a lady worth over half-a-billion dollars

nevertheless, he can prattle about this nation belonging ‘not to the
privileged few, but to all Americans.’ He’s a moderate with a voting
record
more liberal than either Ted Kennedy or Dennis The Red Kucinich. …

“Is there anything about the war-hero/VC symp, ‘Irish’-Jewish-Brahmin,
left-wing moderate, pro-abortion Catholic, patrician-tribune-of-the-people
that’s real? Actually, there is a stark consistency that runs through
Kerry’s career – He’s an opportunistic, back-stabber who never met a
commie he didn’t like.”

– Columnist Don Feder

GEN.
GIAP: KERRY’S GROUP HELPED HANOI DEFEAT U.S.

The
North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally
drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by
Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve
victory.

In
his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it
weren’t for organizations like Kerry’s Vietnam Veterans Against the
War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. – according to Fox News
Channel war historian Oliver North.

That’s
why; he predicted on Tuesday, the Vietnam War issue “is going to
blow up in Kerry’s face.”

“People
are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren’t for these guys
[Kerry’s group], we would have lost,” North told radio host Sean
Hannity.

“The
Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert, encouraged
people to mutiny – some used what they wrote to justify fragging officers,”
noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple hearts
in Vietnam.

“John
Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands,” North said.
