Ain’t Over Yet
Issues
for the new year...
[Bob Parks] 12/31/04
While all the television news outlets are presenting their post-mortems
on 2004, there are some issues in waiting that are poised to
launch us into the New Year face first.
The Feinstein
Doctrine
Leaking a portion of the 2005 Democrat Playbook,
California Senator Dianne Feinstein will propose to the 109th
Congress a constitutional
amendment to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with
a supposed one-person, one-vote system for electing the president
and vice president.
"The Electoral
College is an anachronism, and the time has come to bring our
democracy into the 21st century. During
the founding years of the republic, the Electoral College may
have been a suitable system, but today it is flawed and amounts
to national elections being decided in several battleground states.''
While I do find it
suspicious that presidential candidates and their supporters
know exactly what state to deploy most of the
lawyers on Election Day, the alternative of leaving things as
is could only be decried by the side that’s getting better
at cheating.
Whether it be stacking the tally with an ever new supply of
illegal alien, convict, and multiple votes, Democrats are getting
better at manipulating a for-the-most-part willing media. Without
the Electoral College, presidential candidates need just campaign
in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles: where the money is. One
of the unfortunate side effects is the possibility of legislation
that will be filtered through Washington, D.C. and three states.
Anyone out there like the idea of Hollywood writing FCC regulations?
And let’s be
real: who outside of California really cares what Dianne Feinstein
thinks anyway?
A Big
Non Story
This is a non story to those who know him best.
“Governor Mitt
Romney, seeking to quash any questions about his political
future, said yesterday that he will run for
reelection in 2006. Sounding feisty and girding for a campaign,
Romney also threw down a challenge to potential Democratic rivals,
saying that they should be prepared to face him. He accused them
of spreading rumors that he will not run again to help their
own fund-raising efforts.”
- Frank Phillips and Glen Johnson, Boston Globe, December 23, 2004
Romney
spent the whole summer “fundraising” while
now accusing his “rivals” of spreading rumors. If
that’s all it takes to make his skin crawl, it’s
pretty sad.
A personal observation
and accusation: it looks like Massachusetts Republican candidates
who ran for office were denied early access
to campaign donor lists. What general party donations did come
in were greatly withheld by the state party from those candidates,
and that undesignated incoming campaign cash was hoarded and
diverted to Romney’s warchest.
''Well, I've got some
news for them: I am going to run again. So come on in, I'm
happy to face them. And if they want to think
about whether they're going to face an opponent named Romney
in the fall, the answer is, yeah, that's what they should plan
for."
Like Romney, the Indianapolis
Colts were cocky last January. Unlike Romney, the Colts didn’t spit on their fans. Either
way, the Colts didn’t make it to February.
Let’s hope for a rousing primary campaign challenge or
this clown will muck things up and later run for President….
The Indoctrination
Flu
One of the
more insidious plots the Democrats use is that of exploitation
of their influence over our nation’s
students. Now while I don’t think any of us mind our
kids being exposed to new ideas in school, the exclusive hard
left direction
they are sent off in is disturbing at best.
According to CNS, “The Rainforest Action Network (RAN)
organized the group of second grade children on December 16th
to protest JP Morgan Chase. A RAN press release stated the elementary
school children attended to "hand deliver over 700 colorful
handmade posters from children around the world asking William
B. Harrison, chief
executive officer of JP Morgan Chase, to keep his promise and
stop lending
money to projects that destroy endangered forests and cause global
warming."
While liberal hysterics
fail to withstand a mature logical standard, they can be worded
in ways that pliable young minds can morph
into scientific truth. It’s hard to challenge young minds
who are taught on a daily basis how to correct adults via Nickelodeon
and a Cartoon Network, owned in part by socialist-millionaire
Ted Turner.
"Today, young
rainforest heroes from around the world are reminding JP Morgan
Chase that its most important stakeholders are future generations.
This is education in action, and these are kids the Earth can
count on. These posters represent the wisdom and creativity of
a new generation inspired to protect the Earth."
- Tracy Solum, director of “Rainforests in the Classroom” on
the Rainforest Action Network website
As we focus
on the War on Terror, the battle for the classroom has
yet to be waged. It will not be a quick and easy one
since most professors feel their tactic is part of a greater
cause, and kids now have been led to believe they’re
always right.
An ugly combination.
Take
Five
While CBS
allowed Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins to host its “Late
Late Show” that nobody with a job watches, guest and author
Gore Vidal suggested that Bush "resign." Robbins later
proposed, "How about a good, old-fashioned impeachment?" Robbins
cited as justification Bill Clinton’s being impeached “for
lying about oral sex.”
Excuse me for being
so blunt, but THAT’S an example of
just how stupid these liberal elites think the rest of the country
is. The retort can be summed up quite easily… again.
Bill Clinton lied under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit
of which he was the plaintiff. He also engaged in sexual activities
in a federal workplace with a subordinate federal employee and
lied about that as well under oath, an offense that anyone else
would be probably sued and jailed over. It has been speculated
that Clinton has engaged in sexual activity, consensual and not,
and has used the power of the United States government to conceal
those activities through lies and witness intimidation.
Both Robbins and Sarandon know that the afore mentioned activities
occur on an almost daily basis in their Hollywood neck of the
woods, thus their inability to accept that the custom, while
routine, is illegal.
Robbins offered this
hypothesis: "So it's more of a high
crime and misdemeanor to lie about oral sex than it is to lie
about intelligence that forces a country into war?"
Many nations shared the accepted intelligence with a President
and later Senator Clinton, John Kerry, numerous Democrats including
Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger long before George Bush took
office. Why Robbins remained silent then with all the inside
knowledge he obviously possessed is troubling. Blaming Bush now
is simply opportunistic and humorous.
The interview with Vidal was later followed by “comedy” bit
by Sarandon and Robbins in which they displayed Christmas cards
they supposedly received from politicians.
"Season's Gropings" from Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'm
Dreaming of a Really, Really, Really White Christmas" from
Rush Limbaugh that Sarandon pronounces ‘limbow’,
and "Enjoy the Audit" from George and Laura Bush. Can
anyone show me one report of a liberal or group that has complained
of being politically targeted for a IRS audit? Did any one of
these liberals ever come to the defense of one of the many conservative
groups targeted for a politically-motivated audit ordered by
the Clintons?
Sarandon also asked "Do
Republicans ever get in trouble for having sex? It seems like
it's only the Democrats. And religious
figures..."
Well, according to
ABC News “More Republicans Satisfied
With Sex Lives Than Democrats. New 'Primetime Live' Sex Survey
Reveals That More Republicans (56 Percent) Are Very Satisfied
With Their Sex Lives Than Democrats (47 Percent).”
The poll analysis “included a breakdown by many subgroups,
including region, age and even political party affiliation, which
is the topic of results released” on October 19th.
Of those involved in a committed relationship, who is very satisfied
with their relationship?
Republicans -- 87 percent; Democrats -- 76 percent
Who is very satisfied with their sex life?
Republicans -- 56 percent; Democrats -- 47 percent
Maybe that’s some indication of why Bill Clinton’s
criminal activities were ignored, condoned, and later excused
by liberals like Robbins and Sarandon. Their sex appears to be
as shallow as their politics.
Wouldn’t that explain the tabloids…?
Who Set Up
Who?
Remember
that National Guardsman who offered up that sucker punch of
a question to Donald Rumsfeld about the lack of armor
on
vehicles in Iraq that sent the liberals into a temporary
state of ecstasy. For those of you who missed out, it turns
out the
question was given that National Guardsman in advance by
a boastful Edward Lee Pitts of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Well, on Tuesday night’s “Special Report” Brit
Hume brought up information that the mainstream press has sat
on to this day. “According to senior Army officers, about
800 of the 830 vehicles in Wilson's Army regiment, the 278th
Calvary, had already been up-armored" when the question
was posed during Rumsfeld’s visit to the troops. The remaining
vehicles were up-armored within 24 hours of the widely publicized
query.
"Before hand
we worked on questions to ask Rumsfeld about the appalling
lack of armor their vehicles going into combat
have. While waiting for the VIP, I went and found the Sgt. in
charge of the microphone for the question and answer session
and made sure he knew to get my guys out of the crowd."
- An e-mail later sent to Chattanooga Times Free Press editors
by reporter Pitts
So much for
just reporting and not creating the news. It’s
even at the point where reporters violate basic journalistic
ethics and openly brag about it without consequence, that is
as long as they’re taking swings at the Bush Administration.
Then again, I’m only a simple web columnist. Who am I
to tell THEM how to do their jobs…?
They Make It So Easy
As if
the Oil-For-Food scandal isn’t enough, our beloved
United Nations has another rather sticky issue to address.
In what Robbins and Sarandon would probably consider a private
matter, recently discovered homemade porn videos filmed by a
UN logistics expert in the Democratic Republic of Congo have
sparked a sex scandal that I dare sanctimonious liberals to compare
to Abu Ghraib.
The perv in question was… French!
The poetic justice of being lectured on morality by the French
before the war, now turning out to be the slimy pigs we knew
them to be all along, is astounding and quite satisfying.
The suspect turned his bedroom into a studio for videotaping
and photographing sex sessions with young girls. The bed was
reportedly surrounded by mirrors, complete with a hidden camera
he could operate from the bed with a remote control. He was nabbed
in a police sting operation before he could rape a 12-year-old
girl. Three home-made porn videos and more than 50 photographs
were found.
According to reports,
investigations have already turned up 150 accusations of sexual
misconduct (68 allegations in the town
of Bunia alone) by UN staff and peacekeepers, despite the UN’s
official policy of “zero-tolerance”.
According to the Times
of London, “victims spoke of incidents
of rape, as well as ‘rape disguised as prostitution’ where
a girl was raped and then given money or food afterwards to give
the appearance of a transaction having taken place. Three civilian
UN staff have already been suspended. A man who worked for the
UN’s investigative arm in Kinshasa has resigned after being
accused of consorting with a prostitute. The Frenchman with the
homemade pornography accused of pedophilia was sent back to France
in October and is in jail facing charges of sexually assaulting
a minor.“
So it turns out the
French have Saddam money in their wallets while enjoying every
sexual deviancy in the process. Nothing
from the big networks on this, but are we really surprised? After
all, it’s all about sex.
I kinda look forward
to this one playing out… next year. tRO
