GUT CHECK
Re: Enemy Central's To Your
Stealth! :
I nominate the writer who termed Christopher Hitchens a "house drunk" for being too gutless to attach his name to his slanderous article.
As someone who has read Mr. Hitchens and heard him disassemble the dogma of the religiously delusional, it goes without saying that this anonymous writer wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell (if, indeed, such a fantasy existed) against Hitchens in an honest debate -- with or without alcohol factored in.
Shame on you, gutless wonder. You're my enemy of the week.

Great read on Ron Paul and Gibson. The real problem is what they
give is no longer news. How did their personal "gut" feelings
override their whole purpose for sitting in that chair, to report
the news? And as their market share continues to slip away to their
utter dismay and finger pointing, they miss the whole point that
what they are doing is a disservice to the public. Just give me the
facts. I don't care what any of them think, and the assumption that
they need to tell the public what to think is a lot scarier than
anything Jerry Falwell ever did.

Oh, so little time and so many deserving enemies of the week. As
usual they all deserve the award and censure but I must once again
take issue with your final choice. Surely Charlie Gibson is an
enemy among enemies. The failure to lead with Jerry Falwell's death
and much more importantly the reluctance to praise this noteworthy
individual is appalling. Falwell was a good and spiritual man who
was an easy and welcome target for the "sophisticates" in the
mainline media who never did believe and the religious left who
long ago gave up believing in the redeeming virtues of religion.
What an awful reflection on our modern culture. Of course if you
had not mentioned Gibson's selective "censoring" of the news I
would have been blissfully unaware of it since I stopped watching
the network news sometime around 1970. So perhaps it is better to
give Gibson and his kind no attention at all (after all, if a tree
falls in the forest and no one hears it, was there really any
noise?)

McCAIN-AMNESTY
Re: W. James Antle III's No Amnesty
for McCain:
Johnny, we knew ye all too well. Bye-bye.
-- C. Vail
Excellent article entitled "No Amnesty for McCain." I'm a
Republican. If it's him v. Hillary, I stay home on Election
Day.

As far as I am concerned this amnesty bill is just one more nail in
the coffin lid of McCain's campaign. How any conservative in good
conscience could vote for the man who created "campaign finance
reform," voted against tax cuts, advocated doing away with gun
shows, killed the nuclear option with his so-called gang of 14, and
finally as much as claimed that our troops routinely tortured
prisoners with his fabricated legislation...well, I have absolutely
no use for him and it will my sincere pleasure to work against him
at every opportunity.

Senator Cornyn of Texas will be asking us to send him back to Washington, but let me tell him that if he votes for this bill of McCain/Kennedy he will not get my vote. I will never vote for someone that cares more about illegals in this country that they do American citizens.
The parts of this bill to secure the border is a joke, they have not been able to do it up to now, just what makes them think it will be done now. They have laws on the books about hiring illegals, but very little it done about it.
If this bill passes you can kiss the Republican Party goodbye,
all the illegals already here will be signing up and voting for
Democrats to keep their welfare going. Already it has been found
that hundreds of illegals signed up to vote in the San Antonio
area. Since we print ballots in Spanish, it is easy for them. Why
do we print them in Spanish if you have to speak English to become
a citizen and you are supposed to be a citizen before you can vote?
Just another waste of taxpayer dollars.

This conservative Republican from Arizona will never be voting for
McCain. McCain-Kennedy amnesty and McCain-Feingold speak volumes
about McCain, and I for one do not want him as our President let
alone our Senator.

Mr. Antle has summed up the McCain presidential bid succinctly: Finito, Morto. I'll spare my fellow readers my McCain mantra, suffice to say, his haughty tin-eared duplicity on immigration is McCain-Feingold redux. Our legislators, sadly with the President's help, have once again played a legislative three-card monte on us. The sham pretenses of McCain-Feingold, at the expense of the Constitution, are repeated with the so called "enforcement triggers" under this bill, which cynically, the Washington elites know full well, have never, and will not now, be implemented by the bureaucracies.
