 JUST AMAZING
Perhaps you read a headline over the weekend about out-of-wedlock births. It seems that we've reached an all-time high in this category in the U.S. In 2005 almost four out of every ten babies born in America are born to single women. Compare this to 1960. The rate then was about 5.3%. Now it is 37%. Now you just might imagine that there is a federal agency that is supposed to deal with this. If there's a federal agency that deals with the standardization of screw threads, there must be one that deals with matters such as birth control. You're right. There is, or at least there's a person. The deputy assistant secretary of population affairs. Part of the Department of Health and Human Services. This deputy assistant secretary oversees the Title X family-planning program. His job is to provide birth control information to the general public. He's also responsible for providing information on such matters as HIV and other STDs. Over 4000 clinics around the country are funded by this program. Well ... we have a brand-spanking new deputy assistant secretary. He's a doctor from Massachusetts. An OB-GYN. So he should know all about birth control, right? Well, think again. Dr. Eric Keroack doesn't believe in birth control ... of any kind. In short .. .the guy's a loon. Here are some of the amazing utterances and opinions of our new family planning czar: - Condoms offer no real protection from herpes or HIV.
- Fifteen out of 100 people who have sex (outside of marriage, I presume) will get AIDS.
- The use of birth control is demeaning to women and degrading of human sexuality.
- A woman who has an abortion will be eight times more likely to get breast cancer before she's 45.
- If you have premarital sex you won't be able to bond with your wife or husband and your marriage will most likely be a bust.
 See? He's a loon! All of those statements are provably false .. yet our president, George Bush, has made this whacko the nation's go-to bureaucrat for family planning!
What the hell is Bush thinking? Oh ... forgot. The Republicans just got kicked in the teeth and Bush thinks it's because they abandoned their core conservative values. Now to some of us core conservative values might mean less government, lower taxes, less spending, more individual responsibility and defending our nation. Bush must somehow think that these core conservative values mean pandering to the so-called "religious right." Anyone who thinks for a nano-second that this country is going to accept abstinence as the preferred form of birth control is completely out of touch with the American people. Someone's been listening to Don Wildmon a little too much here. HERE COME THE INVESTIGATIONS
Now you really didn't think the Democrats were going to take control of both the House and the Senate and not do a little investigation, did you? After all, now they have control of the one thing they can use to keep the administration lawyers busy for a very long time: subpoena power. All this talk about bipartisanship cooperation in the new Democratic Congress has just gone out the window. The first order of business: investigating the Bush Administration. It's going to be a long two years.
For the Left, it will be impossible to pick what they want to investigate first. Since November 7, they've been running around saying they're not going to investigate the president or the administration. That's a complete lie. Not only are they going to do just that, but they're going to get started as soon as possible. Imagine the possibilities...the Iraq war...Katrina...Halliburton...it's too bad for them they only have two years!
They won't go for impeachment because they don't have the votes, so Nancy Pelosi's promise there is more of a statement of reality than anything else. But just wait...everything else under the sun will be investigated. Including the Medicare prescription drug program. Come to think of it, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad investigation.
NO LIBERAL AGENDA? THINK AGAIN
It's always been puzzling that when Democrats are running for office or when they're explaining their victory, they always have to try and convince people they're not who they say they are. They simply cannot let the public know who they really are or what they really stand for. To do so would be political suicide. The general electorate simply does not swing as far to the left as they do.
At any rate, there was John Dingell, Charlie Rangel and Barney Frank on TV over the weekend saying that they wouldn't pursue a liberal agenda in the next Congress. They want to government from the middle, we were told. They'd like to prove that they can govern. So just what sort of proposals are going to be part of their mainstream agenda?
One of the first thing will be raising the minimum wage. Yeah...that's not a liberal agenda. Then there's the issue of the deficit. Democrats absolutely cannot wait to raise taxes on "the rich" to "pay for" the extra government spending. Any other supposed mainstream ideas they have will be just as liberal. Perhaps what they're trying to do here is change the terms ... create a new political language where tax increases and government interference in business decisions isn't considered "liberal." The more likely explanation is that they know they don't have the votes to deliver the true liberal goals of socialized medicine, eliminating the wage cap on Social Security taxes, more power to unions, killing talk radio, and destroying what we have of school choice. So ... lay low until after 2008 when they have even more power! Then stand back!
Democrats have been out of power for a dozen years. They haven't waited on the sidelines all that time just so they could win and then govern just like Republicans. Democrats have a leftist agenda and they intend to pursue it fully. It's all in the timing. LEAVING IRAQ HONORABLY
 Republican In Name Only, Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, wrote a column over the weekend for the Washington Post in which he outlined how we can cut and run in Iraq. By the way, notice that whenever Hagel writes or says something criticizing George W. Bush or his policies, the media fawns over him as a "key" or "influential Republican?" The media bias never ends.
At any rate, Hagel's column was predictable. It said we can't win in Iraq, etc. Maybe he's right. But what's really at work here is the legitimizing of the surrender stance. Previously, Americans didn't find it acceptable to surrender in Iraq. To just walk away with nothing to show for 4 years of war wasn't an option. But the mainstream media and the Democrats have been working on the public at large, with tactics such as:
- The promotion of the draft. This was done to float an idea that will never happen in order to create the fantasy that we'll have a draft, which most people oppose.
- The pushing of the Vietnam template. Iraq is compared constantly to Vietnam, which it has nothing in common with. The war in Iraq no more has anything to do with the Vietnam War than it does World War II.
- The promotion of any and all bad news. Something bad happens in Baghdad? It's front page news. A single car bomb goes off? There's nothing more important. All news from Iraq must be bad to push the anti-war, anti-Bush Administration template.
And so it goes. By the time it's all said and done, people won't mind total surrender...just the way Democrats and the mainstream media want it.MEXICAN INVASION NEWS I thought you might like to know that some professor (what else?) from the University of Oklahoma is pushing the idea of allowing non-citizens to vote in Oklahoma. The only requirement would be that you be of voting age. The professor said, as I told you these people would, that these non-citizens (meaning Mexicans and Hispanics) "have jobs, families, homes and are paying taxes here" and therefore they should vote. This is just the beginning. Why do you think Democrats are so hell-bent on enabling the Mexican invasion? They see every single person coming across our border with Mexico as a potential vote ... and they're convinced they will vote Democrat. The professor, Dr. Bob Darcy, says the anti-immigrant fever will die down once society absorbs them .. just like the Jews and the Irish. Professor Bob doesn't seem to recognize, however, that the Jews and the Irish wanted to assimilate into our culture. The Hispanics by and large do not! When the Irish, Jews and Asians came here it was immigration, and it was legal immigration. Someone tell Dr. Bob we're being invaded. Then see if you can actually explain the concept to him. WHEN IS THIS STRANGE WOMAN GOING TO JUST GO AWAY?  Yoko Ono is making news again. She wants the anniversary of the death of her husband (that would be John Lennon) to become a day of worldwide healing. She bought a full-page ad in the Sunday New York Times urging readers to accept responsibility for all the violence and suffering that is going on around the world. It's our fault, she says, because we have failed to intervene on behalf of victims around the world.
Yeah, Yoko. That works. As I remember, we intervened on behalf of the victims of Saddam's poison gasses, torture chambers and rape rooms. That worked out real well for us, didn't it. By the way .. your husband wrote perhaps the most hideous song in the history of modern music. "Imagine," I think he called it. Maybe you can show us how you feel about the insipid line "imagine no possessions" by giving away all of your stuff! Imagine no Yoko Ono.
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to point and laugh at.
(Drat! Can't think of a fourth line,) OH YEAH! GET ME A GRADUATE DEGREE IN THIS! First it was Black Studies. Remember when that started? Young socially oh-so-conscious men and women rushing off to college to get a degree in Black Studies? Then we had Women's Studies, Queer Studies and so on. Well .. here's your latest. Fat Studies. Yup, at an ever-increasing number of colleges and universities around the nation you can now spend tens of thousands of dollars a year to send your young son or daughter off to get their bachelor's in Fat Studies. Just think about all of the wonderful career opportunities this will open up for your spawn! Maybe they can get a double major? We have one not-so-young lady named Stefanie Snider (she's 29) at the University of Southern California who is writing her dissertation on "the intersection of queer and fat identities in the United States during the 20th century." Oh Joy! I'll just have to have her on the air as a guest when she finally publishes! Sixty-thousand words on fat lesbians. Don't you know her parents must be proud of what their investment in her education has brought forth? WHAT AN INCREDIBLE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND Can't remember a holiday weekend in Atlanta with better weather. And since it was Thanksgiving weekend, I should say how thankful I was that the wishes of John Lewis, Shirley Franklin and Andrew Young were granted and John Eaves was elected to chair the Fulton County Commission. I must say that this weekend would certainly have been sullied by the site of all of those police dogs and water hoses being turned on Atlanta's blacks over the holidays. FLIPPING OFF THE FANS ... TWICE ... HOW NICE The Falcons stunk up the joint yesterday ... badly. How many dropped passes were there? Four? Five? The fans booed, as they should have .. and then Michael Vick flips them off as he heads into the locker room after the game. Not once .. but twice. Nice going, Michael. Get your check book out. Oh yeah ... Vick later apologized. Here you go: "First and foremost, I would like to apologize for my inappropriate actions with fans today. I was frustrated and upset at how the game was going for my team, and that frustration came out the wrong way. That's not what I'm about. That's not what the Atlanta Falcons are about. I simply lost my cool in the heat of the moment. I apologize and look forward to putting this incident behind me." Don't know about you .. but it sounds to me like someone wrote that for him. I'll just bet he looks forward to putting that incident behind him. Still a fan though. I like the owner, the coach, Warrick Dunn and Alge Crumpler. Roddy White? He'll be OK .. but he may have cost the game yesterday. But .. in the end .. it's all bread and circuses. How 'bout da Bears! ENOUGH! I'LL PAY IT OFF TODAY ON THE SHOW! Last Wednesday I told you the story of a church that wanted to do something nice for a Katrina refugee. So ... they bought a home and gave it to a Katrina family. Gave, not loaned. Title and all. Then this lovely New Orleans family proceeded to prove the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished. I told my listeners that I would pay the story off --- explain what happened --- during the Information Overload Hour. Well, wouldn't you know it, my flagship station broke away from that hour for a local press conference, and the listeners of the stations that don't carry the Information Overload Hour were not amused. Let's just say I got some abusive email. So ... today during the show I'll pay it off. Promise. REDNECK SCRAP BOOK There's more than one way to get a flat screen "wall mount" TV. Leave it to a redneck to come up with this one. Fancy! More in the Redneck Scrap Book. READING ASSIGNMENTS

Seems the global warming doom-and-gloom types have a little egg on their face. After all sorts of predictions about how bad this year's hurricane season was going to be, turns out it was one of the quietest ever. In fact, we had the fewest hurricanes in 10 years. Looks like Al Gore's minions are going to have to go back to the drawing board.
Speaking of global warming, the Supreme Court is hearing a case this week that could effect the country's policy on global warming. A number of states are suing to require the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide emissions more. Will the high court actually rule on the existence of global warming? Perhaps...of course a decision is months away.
Hugo Chavez is at it again...this time he is vowing to beat "the devil." Of course, the devil would be the United States. He's favored to win the next election in Venezuela, which should come as no surprise. Funny how he criticizes the U.S., without whom his country would not be loaded with the billions in oil cash it has.
Ward Connerly, a California activist who has been opposing affirmative action for quite some time, says the race-based preference programs are nearing their end. He points to the success of ballot initiatives in other states. Have people had enough of hiring quotas? Maybe.
The Alcee Hastings situation is heating up again. Will Democrats approve putting the former impeached judge in charge of a Congressional committee? Maybe...but the Democratic leadership should look back in time at their comments they made when they voted to impeach Hastings.
With Democrats poised to take control of both Houses of Congress, Michael Barone takes a look at where they go from here. Since the Democrats didn't actually run on any ideas in the last election, it takes some guessing as to the direction they'll be going.
Robert Novak explains why Chuck Schumer, the junior (in stature) Senator from New York is so happy these days. He says Schumer, who runs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, did extremely well in electing Democrats in the last election.
All this talk in the media about "realism" when it comes to Iraq is actually another word for surrender. Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan write that pulling out of Iraq would do us absolutely no good in the war on terror, nor would it help us in the Middle East.
Professor Mike Adams talks about his love for firearms in his latest column...the kind of thing that isn't too politically correct these days. But it wasn't always the case that Adams liked guns...he takes a look at the path of his interest as well as his conversion of others to carrying a piece.
Star Parker weighs in on the Michael Richards dust-up over his racist comments at a comedy club. Is the former 'Kramer' star a racist? Parker says who knows...or cares. But she says the reaction to his comments say something else about this country. A British poll suggests that most parents are completely unaware that their son or daughter is sexually active. Hint: If your daughter smokes, she's having sex. |
