Tax Slaves
Dependence Day Recap
 Was
it just a coincidence that Independence Day fell just after the
halfway mark of the calendar year, exactly at the time when money
you earn starts going in your pocket and not to Washington? Are
we celebrating independence from the six months of tax slavery that
just passed? Oh, I get it now. Go ahead and watch the fireworks.
George Bush and the Republicans now have so much of
your slave money going to African education and various "global
poverty programs" that it makes one feel that they swallowed
a sousaphone on the 4th instead of a hamburger. Imagine, you slave
away for six months, then celebrate Independence Day, and scatter
off to work the following Monday knowing that you are now a slave
to millions of Africans trying to learn the ABCs.

Empire? What Empire?
Reading what two commentators have recently penned
would make you think that the United States is pursuing a course
of imperialistic domination over planet earth. That's OK. Sometimes
the best seller list shows books at the top of the heap that are
fiction. We can let some commentators dabble in fiction also, can't
we?
I prefer facts.
So President Bush, an acting moderate in 2000, who
Republicans hoped would be a conservative, but who started showing
liberal leanings early on in 2001, and who is now a full fledged
socialist on fiscal and social issues, with not the least bit of
nationalistic tendencies, has these two calling him an imperialist?
Oh, I forgot. Fiction, fabrications, and fallacies
must get equal time in commentator land.

Some make you laugh. Some make you angry. But they all
give you that "shake your head in amazement feeling"
and make you wonder if they really believe what they said.
Connie Chung from CNN's Connie Chung Tonight
July 24, 2002—Some "dung from Chung" on James
Traficant's pending expulsion later that evening:
Chung: Kate, is Congressman Traficant going to be able
to speak himself?
Sentry: No Dung, Traificant's style has been that of a laid
back, mellow, quiet sort of fellow over the years who never
speaks his mind. This is an expulsion and Traficant wouldn't
speak?
Chung:: Kate, it is so easy to laugh about all of this
because he's so colorful.
Sentry: Dung, it is easier to laugh at the injustice in your
"fair and balanced report" that you never mentioned
one word about Robert Toricelli who was given a "Clintonian
Style" wink and a nod from the Senate for crimes just
as bad as Traficant's.
Chung: And, Bill, one final question. You know, most members
of Congress who have found themselves in trouble, criminal
trouble, have gracefully resigned, right?
Sentry: Dung, two words—Bill Clinton. And Dung, two
more words—Robert Toricelli.

 It
is possible Bush is a conservative. One could say that the bloating
of federal expenses in proportion to the bloating of Ted Kennedy's
backside has established the tradition of a bloated statist government.
In that sense, these people may not be so ignorant after all. Since
Bush is conserving the tradition of socialist spending sprees then
that makes him a conservative.
Twisted but true.

No Conflict Between Liberty and Security
What we should be choosing between is not liberty and security,
since the second is only a means to the first—but between appeasement
and security. . . The persistence of the terrorist danger
is a result of our government's failure to act on the evidence it
already has. We know that terrorists are the agents of certain militant
Islamic organizations—such as Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas—which
use terrorism as a tactic to destroy the non-Islamic West. —Guest

Talk Radio Has Mellowed
Once the rage of the airwaves, now talk radio sounds more like a
branch of the weekly presidential address. Mimicking the popular
line and national mood builds careers. Just look at the latest rising
star - Sean Hannity. Since 911 his script has been insufferable.
We expect Rush to play to the party faithful and count on Oliver
North to take the hard line, but where is the intelligent inquiry?

Remember Gulf War One?
Its all sounds improbable, I know. We are often reminded these days
of how restricted religious worship is in the Arab world. Evangelical
activity in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can earn a foreigner prison
time; death rewards the Christian convert. Last year, 14 Ethiopian
and Indian Christians were jailed and then expelled from Saudi Arabia
for worshipping in their homes. But one exception is Kuwait, the
country we liberated in the first Gulf War . . .—Guest Column

The Tobacco Fat Police Are Here!
A January 2002 ABC News report says it all in the title: "Whose
Fault is Fat?" It is clear that we have created a culture of citizens
with a total lack of personal responsibility. Smoke too much? There
must be someone else to blame. Eat too much? It must be someone’s
fault. —Guest Column by Daniel Colella
The Fat Settlement
It has been obvious for a along time now that liberals can produce
"victims" faster than the government can come up with programs to
"cure" and "help" them. Well, maybe the two are running about neck
and neck. Meanwhile, a few more lawsuits like this one and the government
will have a nice new treasure chest full of "fat settlement" funds
to pass around. —Guest Column by Deborah Venable
Tired of the centrist mumble? Here are some refreshing
comments straight from the"tell it like it is" school.
Pat
Buchannon
This $37 billion comes on top of $15 billion the IMF sent Brazil
last year and a $41 billion Brazilian bailout in 1998. Why is Uncle
Sam bailing out these deadbeats, yet again, when Americans have
gotten zero help from the government while a two-year bear market
has gutted their 401(k)s and stock portfolios?

Unequal Justice Around Law
|
|
Just proving once again that
there is "Unequal Justice Around Law" for
celebrities, athletes, and politicians.
|
|
|
| July 30, 2002 Senator Robert Toricelli (D-NJ) |
| |
|
 The
take? About $120,000 in cash, diamond earrings, diamond
cufflinks, 12 Italian suits, cashmere coat, projection
TV, $4,000 grandfather clock, $5000 in antiques, camera
equipment, stereo equipment, $9200 Rolex, a Persian
rug, . . . all bribes in exchange for a business deal.
The man in question, David Chang, was not even called
as a witness by Democrat Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii).
The verdict? A "shame on you" from the
Senate ethics panel. And James Traficant (D-OH)? He
gets banished from the House and 8 years in jail for
similar offenses.
The difference? Toricelli walks the party line. It
was payback time against Traficant who viciously criticized
Janet Reno and Bill Clinton.

Charges: 14 including four felony charges. Charges
include assault, terroristic threats, conspiracy,
and weapons offenses.
The Verdict? All charges dropped except two pending
mideameanors. The judge? Was the judge biased? Look
what the good judge said: "Put it this way: Once I
got on the case, I couldn't wear my Iverson jersey,"
the judge joked.

| "Saudi Arabia is a long-standing friend
and ally of the United States. The Saudis cooperate
fully in the global war on terrorism and have the department's
and administration's deep appreciation."— Pentagon
spokeman Victoria Clarke in reaction to a scathing report
on Saudi Arabia. |
| |
|
 Friend
and ally? Not according to the Defense Policy Board
that briefed the Pentagon. The boards stated that
""The Saudis are active at every level of the
terror chain, from planners to financiers, from cadre
to foot-soldier, from ideologist to cheerleader"
. . . "Saudi Arabia supports our enemies and
attacks our allies," said Laurent Murawiec, an
analyst at Rand. . . "the kernel of evil, the
prime mover, the most dangerous opponent" in the Middle
East."
Some luminaries that make up the board include Henry
Kissinger, Newt Gingrich, former House Speaker Tom
Foley, ex VP Dan Quayle, ex-military officers, and
the think tank Rand Corporation.
As I state in Read The
Label, page 4 of this Issue, I will place
my bet on the Defense Policy Board, not the Pentagon,
on who is the "better label reader".
