 FOLLOW THE MONEY
This morning we hear stories from NASA scientists about
dire predictions of incredible heat --- 110 degree temperatures in Atlanta! --
if current climate trends continue. This is all from a new computer
analysis! Oh my! There's a few things to remember here. First,
it's a computer model. Output is wholly dependent on input. Just
what are the programming parameters used in the development of that model?
Did the scientists overstate the role of CO2 in the warming of our atmosphere?
Did they understate the role of water vapor? Where there programming
inputs for predictions on the numbers of huge SUVs evil rich people are going to
buy? Second: Just where do these NASA scientists get their funding.
On whom are they dependent for their continued employment? In case you
haven't checked lately ... these people work for a government agency completely
dependent on government funding. When you're dependent on government
funding that would mean your fortunes rise and fall on a political tide.
Right not the political cause du jour for those in charge of funding NASA
is .... man-made global warming.
Connect the dots.
SHARPTON SLURS MORMONS
The implication from Al Sharpton
[video] was clear. Mormons
don't believe in God. What else could he mean when he said "those of us
who believe in God" will beat Mitt Romney." You liberals out there can
parse those words all you want, but the meaning is clear. We believe in
God, he doesn't. But will there be any price to pay for this race pimp?
Are you kidding? He's black! He's the man who brought down Don Imus!
He's the man that Democrats bow and scrape before! Al Sharpton, the man
who talked of "white interlopers" and "Greek homos;" the man who has the blood
of innocents on his hands, is bulletproof.
THE 2006 HERO OF THE YEAR
 Jeff May is an Ojibwe Indian from Minnesota. Readers
Digest named him the
2006 Hero of the Year. I had never heard of Jeff May
until I opened a letter from a listener yesterday. My guess is that you
have never heard of him either.
Here's the story.
About two years ago a young male wearing a black trench coat walked into the
Red Lake Senior High School in northern Minnesota. He was carrying not one, not
two, but three guns. He started shooting and killed eight people, injuring seven
more .... then Jeff May took action. A teacher? No ... Jeff May was a sophomore
at Red Lack. Sixteen years old, perhaps 15. (Can't nail down his exact age). Jeff was doing
algebra problems with a pencil when the shooter entered his classroom.
After May saw what was happening he rushed the gunman ... armed only with the
pencil. He stabbed the shooter in the side with the pencil and the two
started struggling. Jeff May was shot in the face. By this time the
police showed up, and the shooter killed himself. Jeff May's
teacher, Missy Dodds, says he saved many of his classmates lives, and hers.
Other news reports put the number of lives that Jeff May saved at a dozen.
After the incident he spent a lengthy time in physical, occupational and speech
therapy for his injuries.
Was Jeff May a hot-shot student athlete at Red Lake?
Not known. His pictures show him to be a slightly pudgy teenager.
What you can't see in those pictures is a heart the size of a basketball.
Can you folks imagine this? Nothing like this could
ever happen, right? Someone walks into a classroom blazing away with
multiple guns, and a student -- a 16-year-old -- rushes him with a pencil?
No .. this just has to be a work of Hollywood fiction. No teenager could
possibly ever show such bravery.
But it's not, and he did.
What happened here? Hard to say. Maybe Jeff
May was raised in a culture where self-defense was praised rather than
condemned. Maybe he was raised in a home with a strong father. Maybe
his Ojimwe culture celebrates individualism.
Another question: Why haven't I heard of Jeff May
before yesterday? We certainly get all of the gory details from every
school shooting, and this Red Lake shooting in 2005 had been the worst since
Columbine. Why wasn't Jeff May celebrated across this country? is it
possible because his actions are politically incorrect in our current culture of
government dependency?
And why is the idea of self-defense so unpopular with the
left? Why, when someone acts to save their own life and the lives of
others, do we invariably get some public official or politician warning us about
the dangers of "taking the law into our own hands?"
Remember, please, the leftist war against individualism.
Self-defense is a uniquely individualist pursuit. There you are, an
individual person, using deadly force to protect ... yourself! Don't you
know that in this age of big-government that this is a job for the police!
About 20 legislators in South Carolina have now introduced
legislation that would allow anyone in South Carolina with a concealed weapons
permit to carry that weapon on a government school or college campus. The
only other state in the union with such a law is Utah. Get this passed in
South Carolina and you will make South Carolina school grounds among the safest
in the nation. Liberals, however, are going to scream bloody murder. They
will fight tooth and nail to defeat this measure .. and my guess is that they'll
probably succeed.
Why is it that liberals hate the idea of an armed citizen
so much? They can read the statistics just like we can. If they care
to research the matter, they will learn that people with concealed carry permits
simply do not commit gun crimes! So, the liberal opposition to
citizens carrying guns simply cannot be excused over fears for general public
safety. The facts simply don't bear those fears out. There has to be
something else at work here, and there is. Liberals don't like armed
individuals because they are .... individuals. Carrying a gun for
self-defense is, as I said, a uniquely individual pursuit. It's a loud
statement by an individual citizen saying "I own my life, and I have the right
to take deadly action to defend it." The liberal believes that your life
belongs to government, and that it is the government's job to protect it.
Thank God Jeff May didn't buy it.
FT. DIX TERRORISTS WERE HERE ILLEGALLY. IMAGINE
THAT!
 How do you feel about border control
now? It turns out that the three of the Muslims arrested in connection with the
terrorist plot to attack Fort Dix
are, in fact, illegal aliens. There is no documentation that they came into
this country, which means that they were smuggled across the border. And not
only that, but they have lived in the United States and enjoyed the benefits of
being U.S. citizens (even though they are not) for 23 years, since 1984. Wow,
maybe I had hair then!
Border control is vitally important to
the safety and integrity of this country. I don't care whose feelings are
getting hurt by preventing them from entering illegally. If you can't do it
legally, if you can't follow the proper laws of entry, then stay where you
are. We don't want you here. And even more so, I don't want terrorists in
my country. And guess what folks, they didn't come from the Canadian border.
They came from Mexico, as we know because they entered the U.S. near
Brownsville, TX.
I don't sit here all day long and toot
my own horn because I like the sound of my voice. Illegal immigration to the
United States is unacceptable and the fluidity of the Mexican border, and the
criminals who cross it, demonstrate why it needs to be tightened. How much more
evidence do we really need?
OH ... by the way. That Muslim
group? The Council on American-Islamic Relations? They were out
there beating the bushes looking for news outlets insensitive enough to connect
these Muslim terrorists to the wonderful, peaceful, serene, peace-loving
religion of Islam Sorry, the connection has been established, and all of
the blubbering from CAIR doesn't change that. Converts? So what?
I don't care if they were converts or not. Muslim converts are still
Muslims ...even more so. They weren't born into it. They chose
it.
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY MONTH
In honor of May being
Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, we'll feature a daily reminder for you to
be safe on or around motorcycles. Today, how about
two hot
chicks in a catfight...while riding motorcycles. Okay, it's a commercial,
but I don't think you'll mind. Actually a listener says it's from a movie with gratuitous product placement.
Hey, same thing, right? It'll be like the optical illusion...what
product?
Check out
Monday's,
Tuesday's and Wednesday's
if you missed them.
REDNECK SCRAP BOOK
Yep, we have to add this to
the stack of redneck tattoos. Classy! More in the Redneck Scrap
Book.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
We asked, and you sent them in. Listeners report that
these companies block access to boortz.com from
their servers.
This morning, Neal talked about News/Talk 750 WSB Meteorologist Kirk
Mellish's analysis of the global climate change question.
Check out his paper on the subject here.
The Asheville Citizen-Times is not what you would call a
conservative newspaper. Not by a long shot. I even wrote about this
newspaper in my book "Somebody's Gotta Say It." The Citizen-Times did,
however, see fit to publish this column today:
"Taxpayers should consider the wisdom of the FairTax Act."
Republicans threaten to desert Bush on Iraq war.
The Democrats will lose the presidency because of two issues: national
security and, you guessed it, taxes.
Things aren't looking too swell for
Columbian-US relations.
President Uribe's visit to US Democratic leaders fell apart this week.
Columbia is an important US ally in a region where Venezuela's Hugo Chavez holds
strong influence.
Oh please.
People are getting upset with Starbucks for hosting coffee cups with sayings
that appear to be "anti-God."
Tony Blair will step down as Prime Minister as of July 1.
Republicans want to
"reboot" their party's politics. Right now they're all talk.
