2008 Fatigue Already Setting In

Opponents of illegal immigration are frequently and incorrectly branded as racists because we value the rule of law in this country.  Jackasses like this kid in Colorado chanting “white power” during a discussion of immigration don’t help our case.  To make matters worse, I can’t even blame it on this kid’s government education.

 

We finally figured out what it takes to deport an illegal immigrant:  They have to catch TB.

 

Fred Thompson will announce this week that he is officially running for President.  It still doesn’t matter; even if he manages to win the nomination he will lose to Hillary anyway.

 

Barack Obama’s campaign says they need to win Iowa or New Hampshire to mount a significant challenge to Hillary.

 

The headline says it all on this one:  “White House Hopefuls Love Iowa Ethanol.”  They don’t love Nebraska or Kansas ethanol.  It’s just prostitution, also known as campaigning.

 

Republicans might finally be coming around on the FairTax.  If they actually put it on their platform then maybe we will have reason to support them.

 

“Dangerous chemicals” from Iraq were found at the United Nations headquarters yesterday, requiring the FBI’s help to remove them.  But remember, Saddam did not have chemical weapons!

 

Uh oh.  Less than half of all published scientists are endorsing the theory of man-made global warming.  Don’t expect the environmentalists to listen; they’re still ignoring NASA’s mistake.

 

Did you irresponsibly borrow more than you can pay back?  It’s okay, the government will bail you out!

 

Now the American Cancer Society is getting on the no-health-insurance-sob-story bandwagon.  Socialized medicine, here we come!

 

Government school police officers in Houston are in trouble for distributing a guide to Ebonics.  Wouldn’t it make sense for them to be able to understand their subjects?

 

Here’s some fodder for the religious right:  a judge overruled Iowa’s gay marriage ban.  This is sure to become an issue for Republicans in the primaries.

Weeeeee're Back!

The Jeff Scott Show has finally returned for this semester, with a new time slot.  We will now be on Noon-2pm every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  As you will see, there are a few additional changes to the program…including right here on JeffScottShow.com!

 

 

 

Not only does Hillary support a national ban on smoking in public places (not a surprise), so does “conservative” Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (video).  Further proof that neither party cares about liberty.

 

Scientists are claiming that Los Angeles is in a 1000-year lull in seismic activity.  Wait, I thought that “global warming” was supposed to cause MORE earthquakes?  Somebody has some explaining to do…

 

The United States is the most heavily armed country in the world, with 90 guns for every 100 people.  The Left is sure to hate this, but consider the alternative:  Based on experience in the United Kingdom, gun crime would almost double if guns were banned.

 

A United States Border Patrol official claimed that their job is not to stop illegal immigrants, but only to stop terrorists.  He has since apologized, claiming that he needs to do better “articulating his talking points.”

 

This is an excellent column on National Review Online by Robert Rector that shows how much “poor” Americans have.  Of course, that’s not enough for Democrats such as John Edwards.

 

Speaking of the poor, America’s poverty rate dropped last year.  But of course, the talking point for the liberal media is the increase in the number of Americans without health insurance.

 

Government school teachers in Illinois are losing their job because they don’t speak Spanish.

 

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to end dependency on government…with a bigger welfare program.  This looks intelligent when you call welfare a tax credit.

 

The Army’s frat party antics at Abu Ghraib weren’t organized abuse after all, just the antics of a few renegade soldiers.  I still promise there will be worse abuse here at Mercer in the name of “brotherhood” in the next few months.  Potential pledges, watch out!

 

“Crazy Aunt” Cynthia McKinney says that blacks should consider third parties.  Somehow I doubt that she and I would agree on the best third party…

 

Another person I thought I’d never agree with:  Fidel Castro says that Hillary-Obama is the winning Presidential ticket.

 

A New York judge upheld a NYC ban on the use of metal baseball bats in high school games.  Hopefully more places will follow suit.

 

The Pope is at it again.  First he gave the world the “Ten Commandments for Drivers.”  Now, he’s busy condemning legal tax evasion.  It’s nice to know that there aren’t any more important religious issues, such as a burgeoning threat from Islamic fundamentalism.  Catholics must be so proud.

 

Since I just offended our radical jihadist friends, I should probably point out that the United Nations is trying to solve the problem of Islamophobia.  Of course, “Islamophobia” includes anything that might offend the mullahs.
