SO ... DID HE SAY THE RIGHT THINGS?

This for all of you "die-hard Reagan Republicans" out there ... you know, the ones who are acting like you're not going to support John McCain in this year's election .. and who may even sit this one out. By now you should have heard about McCain's speech yesterday before CPAC. Here are just some of the things McCain said he would do:

• Continue to carry the fight to the Islamic radicals and goons wherever we can get to them.
• Close the borders .. tight .. before any consideration is given as to what to do with the illegals who are already here.
• Not sign a bill with earmarks in it. ANY earmarks in it.
• Reduce the size of government.
• Not allow the expansion of entitlement programs
• Make the Bush tax cuts permanent
• Cut corporate tax rates.
• End AMT
• Develop free market solutions for health care, and respect for the right of free individuals to make choices for themselves.

If John McCain gets the Republican nomination, I will.... vote for him vote for the Democrat sit home write in Neal Boortz

I don't know, but that sounds like a fairly good conservative platform for me. Sure, there are things that I, as a Libertarian, would change. For instance, not only would I block the expansion of entitlement programs, I would start a rollback. Making the Bush tax cuts permanent would not be enough .. there's the FairTax. And then there's my idea for a 10th Amendment Commission .. and I would like to see the systematic elimination of all government schools, beginning with transferring power to local governments and mandating voucher and school choice programs as a prerequisite for any school to get any federal government money at all.

But .. McCain is the guy. He's going to be the nominee unless something really bizarre happens. If you don't support his candidacy .. if you sit out the election .. just how much influence do you think you are going to have during his presidency? That is ...if your actions don't put Hideous Hillary in office.

AND AS FOR THE FAIRTAX ...

OK .. here comes the pitch. McCain is not on board with the FairTax, neither does he oppose the idea. He has told Congressman Linder that he's interested and he's looking at it.

McCain is going to be looking for votes and support. He's going to be looking about to see what the American voters are interested in ... where their minds are. He already knows the FairTax is on your minds. But does he think the interest is fading? One sure way to get the message across to him would be for the new book "FairTax, The Truth: Answering the Critics" to debut way up there on the New York Times bestseller's list. The book goes on sale next Tuesday. I have book signings – two of them – in Atlanta next week. Others are being scheduled. But the first week here is the important one. The debut position of FairTax, The Truth depends entirely on how many books are pre-ordered from places like Amazon.com and how many are sold from next Tuesday through the following Monday. If, for instance, the book debuts as No. 1 it will be a sure sign to the McCain campaign .. and to many congressional and senatorial campaigns as well, that the interest has not faded ... and that a book on taxes can still go to number one.

Detractors will say that I'm just pushing this to make money. Most of you know that I haven't taken one cent from the sale of any FairTax book. The royalties on a book you can buy on Amazon.com for ten bucks aren't worth this push. I believe in the plan ... I want you to believe in it also. Buy the book, read it, and all of those objections you've heard to the FairTax idea will be answered.

The book is No. 24 on Amazon.com this morning. You can click here to order your copy(S). Let's see if we can get it pushed up and start the ball rolling for the Tuesday debut. Here's your link to order.

IGNORE 'CLIMATE CHANGE' ...

... go to jail.

That is according to one scientist, David Suzuki, who says that political leaders who ignore the science behind climate change should be thrown in jail. At a conference in Montreal, he said that politicians should be held legally accountable for ignoring the science. In fact, he goes as far to say that it is an "intergenerational crime." Now the back pedaling begins. A spokesman has now said that the call for imprisonment was not meant to be taken literally. Yeah, right. I think the same should be said about their incessant alarmism over global warming.

Here's the exact quote. Dr. Suzuki said, "What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there's a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they're doing is a criminal act."

Remember ... look into this nonsense and you'll see that the whole global warming scam is all about weakening the American economy and assaulting free enterprise.

Hopefully you will remember an article I mentioned on the air earlier this week. The newspaper article contained all sorts of dire global warming predictions .. and then carried a quote from a University professor. An assistant MUSIC professor. Yeah ... let's take that seriously.

WHEN IS HILLARY'S ANNIVERSARY?

Wedding anniversary, I mean. Just thinking, but wouldn't it be nice to have a separate day every year for people to celebrate sham marriages? Considering the important role this sham marriage is playing in our country today, it's the least we could do.

GREEN THE TAX PAYERS

This is what Nancy Pelosi is doing with your tax dollars. In her "Green the Capitol" initiative, she has already transformed the Congressional cafeteria into an expensive, organic café. Her next move is to spend nearly $90,000 on carbon offsets. And I'm sure that is just the beginning.

Last summer, Nancy decided that she wanted the tax payers to buy carbon offsets to balance out the 24,000 tons of carbon emissions from House operations. The offsets were purchased from the Chicago Climate Exchange, which offsets carbon through investment in other U.S.-based environmentally friendly projects. Isn't that sweet? Don't you feel better knowing that your tax money is supporting these projects simply because the aging hollow-eyed hippie from Haight-Ashbury decided to turn on the air conditioning last summer?

The chief administrative officer of the House has welcomed the Government Accountability Office to examine whether the carbon trading market place is "mature enough to substantiate the spending of taxpayer dollars on offsets."

Look, folks. This "Green" scheme of Nancy Pelosi's is nothing more than a feel-good excuse for power hungry politicians.

UNIFORMS GO GREEN

And in case you haven't had enough news about government politicians "going green" ... the Muncie Sanitary District in Indiana will be sporting new uniforms come spring. The uniforms will be made from the same recycled soda bottles that they collect every week.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management gave the district a $5,000 grant to purchase 100% recycled jackets, T-shirts and polo shirts for 140 employees. The grant specialist for the district, Lina Gordy, says that this is just the latest effort to "go green." It will supposedly save the local government money that it typically spent on city employee uniforms.

Other grants that have been awarded to this district include a $45,000 grant from the state to purchase 5,000 reusable grocery bags, and a $42,000 grant to purchase metal and concrete recycling bins for the campus of Ball State.

Your tax money at work. Does it occur to you that these governments have too much money to spend?

TERRORISTS CANNOT BE MUSLIMS

The Philippines has passed the third reading of a bill that will forbid the media from describing suspected terrorists as Muslims. In other words, it would be illegal to tell the truth. This bill is known as "An Act Prohibiting the Use of the Words 'Muslim' and 'Christian' in Mass Media to describe any Person Suspected of or Convicted for Having Committed Criminal or Unlawful Acts, and Providing Penalties for Violation Thereof." Boy is that a mouthful. It was, not surprisingly, introduced by a Muslim Congressman. That "Christian" word was thrown in there to appease the masses, I guess.

Aren't you excited? This government is going to use its power to "end the stereotyping of Muslims as kidnappers, drug pushers and terrorists." Since when did it become the government's role to make it illegal to tell the truth?

Well ... wait a minute. We do have McCain Feingold.

Remember ... Not all Muslims are terrorists. But all terrorists seem to be Muslims. Quite a religion they have going on there.

MANDATORY SPANISH

A Texas school district has been accused of forcing students to learn Spanish. For children attending the Timberline Elementary School in Grapevine, Texas, it is mandatory to take Spanish as a second-language requirement. The mother of one fifth grader, Leigh Allison, says that the policy makes life easier for Hispanic immigrants and that her daughter shouldn't have to conform to the demographic.

Texas requires all students to study a second language when they are in elementary school and middle school. While most students choose to study Spanish, it seems like other languages aren't really an option for students ... at least not at Timberline Elementary School.

Two questions. Do Hispanic immigrants take English as a second language? And how long will it be until Arabic is required as a second language option?

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Did you know there was a Hillary Clinton perfume? Neither did we.

The New York Times basically ignored the news that the Iranians were, in fact, proceeding with their nuclear ambitions ... but The Wall Street Journal did not.

Peggy Noonan says that Barack Obama is now poised to beat Hillary Clinton. That would be something wonderful to watch.

Mike Huckabee has no plans to drop out of the GOP race. It must be all of that evangelical support that is keeping him alive ...

Speaking of Huckabee ... what are McCain's thoughts on the vice presidential sweeps?

McCain may be the Republican front-runner, but Republican voter turnout could be a big deal come November.

Mona Charen ... "Why They Can't Vote for McCain."

Michael Barone explains how in the hell these candidates have gotten to where they are in the presidential race.

Hillary and Obama are taking jabs at each other's healthcare plans ... they are arguing about which plan will use more government coercion. In the wonderful world of big-government Democrats, the move government uses force to compel citizens to comply with Democrat dreams, the better.

Here's an interesting article that describes how the media's focus on "group identity" is tearing our country apart, using the same tactics as Marxists professors of the early 20th century. Now what have I been saying for so long about the war on individualism?

Berekley, California was going to lose its federal funding, until the mayor, all of the sudden, decided to apologize for the treatment of the Marine recruitment center.

What kind of taxes will politicians think of next? In New York, Eliot Spitzer wants to label flavored alcohol as liquor so that it can be taxed at a higher rate.

Tobacco could kill 1 billion people in the 21st century "unless governments act now to dramatically reduce it," according to the World Health Organization. Maybe so, but most of those 1 billion people will be fools and idiots. What's the loss?

A lawmaker in Colorado Springs is trying to explain why he called unmarried pregnant teens, "sluts." Is it really that hard to understand?

A party in the Netherlands wants to ban burqas not only in all public places, but also at home.

I know that you all are just waiting at the edge of your seats to see how FEMA is going to respond to the aftermath of the tornadoes in the South.

A man was arrested for growing marijuana in his home after a county worker smelled marijuana on his tax payment.

As noticed above .. and in case you don't actually read the notes ... The global warming cult marches on. This moonbat scientist wants to jail politicians who "ignore" global warming.
