Spielberg - “Into The West” Where All Whites Are Racist Killers
- By Warner Todd Huston
Proclaimed as TNT network’s “most ambitious original production”, DreamWorks Television Productions has teamed with the network to present an epic tale of the American west which just concluded over the weekend of July23rd. Executive producer Steven Spielberg hoped to show us what the building of the west was like in a 12 hour miniseries as big as the open ranges upon which the real stories played out.
According to the official web site: “INTO THE WEST follows two multi-generational families, one settlers and the other Native American, each telling the dramatic stories of the development of the West from their distinct points of view.” Unfortunately, this claim did not translate to the screen. Instead, what we were given was a 12 hour movie entirely from the view point of the beleaguered Native Indian tribes (the Lakota Sioux in particular) and those apparently few whites who thought those Indians were the better example of humanity……..

When Do We Get to See Judge Roberts Forged “Secret Memos?”
- By Justin Darr
America is suffering from a bunch of P.E.S.T.’s. Victims of Post Election Selection Trauma, or more commonly know as crazy liberals who have decided to hate democracy because George Bush beat them twice. Shortly after the November election, the American Health Association identified this affliction in Boca Raton, Florida, with some of its symptoms being: “feelings of withdrawal, feelings of isolation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nightmares, and pervasive moodiness, including endless sulking.” How Rob Gordon, Executive Director of the AHA, was able to differentiate these symptoms from the normal behavior of most liberals I have no clue, but none the less, it is a serious threat. “You don’t want an epidemic of suicides,” Gordon warned. True, suicide is a terrible tragedy that should be prevented at all costs, even if the people doing it are knuckle biting, surrender monkeys.
However, Rob Gordon was wrong on two points. The first is Gordon felt the P.E.S.T’s would soon fade away “as the troubled Kerry supporters adjust to reality.” Mr. Gordon sounds like a good man, but he must live a very sheltered life, liberals inability to “adjust to reality” is congenital. And second, he should have added “compulsively writing fake government documents” into his list of symptoms ………….

Scouting and America
- By Hans Zeiger
It was nine years ago this month that I sat at a picnic table under rain-soaked tarps at Camp Hahobas learning the basics of Boy Scouting. Brad and I were the new Scouts in Troop 174, and to us, getting to Eagle Scout seemed like a daunting task. While older Scouts went off to work on merit badges, Brad and I stayed back in our campsite with my grandpa, our Scoutmaster, learning the essentials of survival, environmental stewardship, First Aid, knots, plant identification, and Scout spirit.
My grandpa has been involved in Scouting for nearly six decades of his life. Four of his sons, and seven grandsons have been involved in Troop 174. He spent a career as an elementary school principal, but he likes to say that he himself got more out of Scouting as a kid than he ever got out of school. Now that I’ve experienced Scouting, I have to agree.
And a new study by Harris Interactive shows that Boy Scouts are more confident, more skilled at leadership, more interested in helping other people, and more likely to graduate from high school and college than their non-Scout peers. Of former Scouts surveyed, over 80 percent say that Scouting has taught them respect for life and property, care for the environment, honesty, and group cooperation. Two-thirds of former Scouts, and 83 percent of Scouts with at least five years in the program, say that they have been better leaders in real-life situations as a result of having been Scouts ………

Kosovo Fallout (Another Clinton Turkey Comes Home to Roost)
- By R.A. Hawkins
Before I get to the point in this commentary I want to frame it properly. In order to do that, as well as keep it short and to the point, I’ll first summarize rather briefly.
The Moslems were killing the Christians so Clinton pushed an arms embargo against them. When the Christians began killing the Moslems Clinton wouldn’t lift the embargo. He did get a man to let the Iranians know we would look the other way if they smuggled weapons into the Moslems. (It was another of the definition of ‘is’ things for which he was so well known.) This deal broker later had to fall on his sword for Caligula on the Potomac when he was nominated to run the CIA by Clinton and that deal he brokered came out. A new force was born in the region called the KLA. They were, in many cases, trained in ’special’ camps in Afghanistan.
The KLA was a big supplier of heroin to both the western and eastern European nations. That was their source of funding. That and the numerous murders and assassination plots was why Milosovic got fed up with them. Bill Clinton allowed the Iranians to extend their influence into that region and the result was Yugoslavia running the troublemakers out………….

Senatorial Surrender at the Border
- By Chuck Busch
Politicians are just so anxious to get back to business as usual and fulfill their “vision” for America’s future. This terror war has been a huge “nuance”. National security is hard. Why worry about porous borders and an understaffed underpaid under-equipped Border Patrol Force when there are so many more fun things to spend money on? So what if 20 million unknown individuals have snuck into the country? Let’s just make them all Americans and then they will be our brothers. See what great humanitarians we are. Problem solved.
This seems to be the attitude of a majority of U.S. Senators who last week rejected two amendments to the Homeland Security Bill passed last year that would have funded another 2000 Border Patrol Guards and added capacity for detaining 8,000 more alien invaders. As a result of this half-hearted interest, only 1000 more guards will be recruited and only 2,240 detention beds will be added.
You would think after the grisly Madrid bombings last year and the most recent attack on western civilization by militant fundamental Islamic radicals in London, that our elected representatives would double their efforts to correct the most obvious weakness in our defense against international terrorism. Incredibly, that is not what is happening. Senator John Ensign, (R-Nev) to his credit, tried to restore the number of border guards to the original 2000 with an amendment and Senator John McCain wanted to increase the number detention beds to 5, 760. Unfortunately for the American people and future terrorist victims both amendments failed.
The excuses given for not pushing through even this meager measure are pathetic and even frightening as they reveal just how feeble and shortsighted our government officials are in their response to combating terror. Senator Charles Schumer (D-New York) said the amendments would take money from local law enforcement. He said the solution is “not in strengthening the borders” but to support the people “who defend us and, since 9-11 have new duties.” His flawed thinking should be obvious to everyone except for those New Yorkers who keep voting this guy in. The “duties” of those local and state officials would be a lot less demanding if the problem was stopped at the border ………..

The Federal Judiciary and the Culture of Consensus
- Eric Reikowski
Last week on NBC’s Meet the Press, Tim Russert sat down with Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) to discuss the passing scene in American politics. After a brief discussion about the war against militant Islam - I mean the war against “terror” - the subject of the Supreme Court vacancies came up. Schumer and Hatch, prominent members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, each weighed in. But it was Schumer who made the most important points on the matter, though it is unclear at this time whether he or his fellow Democrats realize it.
Schumer stated he hoped President Bush would choose a “consensus nominee” that would bring the country together. He also urged Bush to foster constructive dialogue with the Senate so that someone “we could all agree upon” would be appointed to the court. In making his case, Schumer mentioned President Clinton’s meeting with Senator Hatch prior to nominating Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the high ………..

You must remember this, a kiss isn’t just a kiss
- By Michael M. Bates
It was Sunday evening at a casual Orland Park restaurant. A couple, in their late 20s or early 30s, held hands, deeply kissed and couldn’t take their hands off one another. The young lovers were both men.
Often in articles relating to changing social mores, the writer begins by assuring readers he’s no prude. That’s not happening here.
I live a sheltered life by design. I know that I’m an old fogy, a fuddy-duddy and a stuffed shirt. Oh, and of course a curmudgeon too……………….

Will Lois Lane Be An Unwed Mother In New Superman Film?
- By Frederick Meekins
In DVD’s I have of the classic Max Fleischer Superman cartoon’s, Lois Lane is depicted as the embodiment of American femininity as she carries herself simultaneously with spunk and lady-like decorum.
As the foremost expression of American popular culture, the changes in Superman over the years can be used to map the extent of the nation’s moral decline……
