If the presidential election weren't so serious, two-thirds of it would really look like just one big joke on the order of a Saturday Night Live parody. That two thirds, of course, would be the media coverage and the Gore campaign.  

The media morons in the morning are impossible to watch. They are so totally ridiculous it's doubtful they do anything political that is not programmed by the White House, the Democratic Party or the Sore-Loserman campaign. It's all pure biased propaganda, in other words.

  Someone gave Gore some TV time last Monday Evening (and again Tuesday afternoon), which was interesting. Again, it seemed like a comedy parody sketch. For instance, with a straight face, Gore actually told the nation that there were still some ballots in Florida that were not counted. Which means, of course, that there are still some ballots left that have only been recounted two or three times and didn't yet produce the result he wanted.

  Another laugh and a half came when Peter Jennings tried to say that he is not politically biased. Right, Pete. You're convinced. None of you in the liberal national media are biased. Sure. You in the network news just think socialism and federal government control of everything is somehow supported by the Constitution.  

One interesting point was brought up on a morning radio show hosted by one of these guys who claims to be a libertarian but actually supports an authoritarian style big government.  

Anyway, the topic brought up by a caller was about those many thousands of illegal aliens voting. The caller asked why there couldn't be "voter background checks." The host said that would be unconstitutional because it could tend to impede voters' rights. The caller mentioned that the very same thing is done with guns. "That's different," the talk show host said as he hung up on the guy.

Indeed, "that's different" for the liberals in the media. The Constitution is a menu to them. They pick and chose the parts they like and disparage the rest.  

Last weekend, Fox allowed their resident socialist, Juan Williams, to broadcast this enlightening piece of nonsense to the nation: "You can't let a statute stand in the way of the will of the voters." Hey Juan, how about we vote to divvy up your paycheck for the next year and take your house and car away? According to you, laws do not count. So, if we vote on it, we can do that. Idiot!  

That's as bad as the radical-left Florida Supreme Court saying that they will not let "a hyper- technical reliance upon statutory provisions" get in the way of what the Gore campaign's liberal lawyers described as "the will of the people."  

The Gore campaign paid big bucks to get Jesse Jackson to rent a mob for demonstrations in Florida (I sincerely hope no one believes they do that free). And, it was fine for the DNC to pay big bucks for the racist Al Sharpton to organize caravans from New York to Florida. But, let a few Bush supporters get together in a proactive way to show their support and then the whiner Holly Joe gets trotted out to label them as a "mob," hinting that they might actually be a threat to the Constitution. A threat to the Constitution, Joe, is the "Third Way" socialism you promote as chairman of the "Democratic Leadership Council" and its sister organization the "New Democrats."(1)  

Then comes New York's answer to a socialist Humpty-Dumpty, Jerry Nadler. He was bused into Florida to watch the vote recount of the recount but fell asleep and didn't actually "see" any of it. Anyway, Nadler felt free to call the Bush supporter's rallies "a whiff of fascism." Probably we should mention here that Nadler is a card carrying member of the House Progressive Caucus(2), which is a front organization for the Democratic Socialists of America.(3) The DSA, of course, is the domestic arm of Socialists International, out of London.(4)  

Well, the Socialists International just so happens to be intermixed with the Fabian Society(5) socialists in London, which in turn was financed by the same Cecil Rhodes of the Rhodes Scholar program at Oxford University.

This, of course, brings us right back to Joe Lieberman and Bill Clinton. The Rhodes Scholar program teaches the "Third Way" of incrementing socialism and the Fabian Society professes it. Lieberman, as chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council and the New Democrats, is one of their major functionaries here. The members of the Progressive Caucus are more or less just useful idiots with a vote in Congress. The national media is the propaganda arm of these socialist organizations.  

All that being true (don't believe me, check the references), even that short thumbnail sketch is enough to prove a dark political conspiracy brewing in the background that could be very unhealthy to the freedom of the American people.  

Democratic Party pollster Pat Caddell called it correctly in an interview with Chris Mathews on Hardball: The Democratic Party is "no longer a party of principles, but has been hijacked by a confederacy of gangsters who need to take power by whatever means and whatever canards they can say."  

Some of today's "Brown-Shirts" wear suits.  

So, yeah, two-thirds of the election looks like a big, sick comedy skit. One very strange point is there are whole classes of people out there in the "Blue" zones who profess to want freedom yet were bamboozled into voting for authoritarian socialists.

We can't prove there was a plan, of course. But, when the list of places Democrats were mixed up with vote fraud gets up to 30 some major areas, it sure looks like it was organized.  

After all, it was the White House that sent out thousands of credentials to non-citizens and illegal aliens that allowed them to vote. The White House also forced INS to hurry up and make tens of thousands more green card holders, who were expected to be Democrats, citizens. And, it was the White House that stopped the decades old practice of voting on military bases. It was also the most favored fund-raisers of the White House who were involved in various vote fraud schemes around the country -- either in person or by financing them.  

Through the television networks and Voter News Service, the Gore campaign received early vote count projections. Gore was supposed to win Florida, but that went south on him. Still, the Gore campaign was able to put together a quick disruption campaign that began even before the Florida polls closed.  

First they called their useful idiots in the Party to hit the streets and stir up questions about the ballots and "civil rights" issues. Then they hired a telemarketing company to call 5,000 people in strongly Democratic minority neighborhoods and spread rumors of ballot problems. Simultaneously, they called in hundreds of union lawyers and as many of the goon squads as they could muster.  

A couple hours after the polls closed, the Gore campaign already had protesters from around the country flying in and had stirred up a few hundred of the locals.  

The rest is history. Nevertheless, let's continue on and get a few more of the inconvenient facts out now.  

So called "American citizens" living in Israel voted absentee. Except, anyone voting in the election of another country, or serving in its military service, may not also vote here. Worse, we all know the story of Gore's army of lawyers inventing bogus laws in a memo to stop as many American military ballots from being counted as possible. One excuse was, wrongly, that the ballots needed a postmark. They don't need either stamps or postmarks.  

So, let's get really inconvenient here: Why were absentee ballots accepted from Israel via fax, then? Anyone know where the stamp or postmark would be affixed on a faxed ballot? Tain't there!  

Then comes the inconvenience of the hotshot lawyer David Boies and his platoon of shysters lying to the Florida court(s), including the Florida Supreme Court. They reported an Illinois case to the Florida Supreme Court, saying that dimpled chads were approved there. That was untrue, of course. That Illinois case said just the exact opposite.  

There's also that inconvenient federal law (3 USC 5) that requires that all of a state's election law must be settled before the election, not changed during the vote count as the Florida Supreme Court (and some local courts) did. The hotshot Boies, and his platoon of attorneys, should have known that. They probably did, too.  

So, what's the penalty for an attorney intentionally misinforming the court(s)? Permanent disbarment seems appropriate, for starters.  

But wait a second here. There were also a bunch of lawyers on the other side of the bench who are responsible for knowing this stuff, too. Will these judges get punished for basing an opinion on bogus law? Impeachment sounds good. Disbarment, too. After all, they blew the most important case of their lives. The opinion was unanimous. That means that not one of them checked into anything. Professional negligence, that's called. Stupid, too.  

Two radical left law professors out there pimping for Gore want to be U.S. Supreme Court justices. Well, just as an aside for newsletter readers, perhaps we might relate a little totally inconvenient information as far as they are concerned. They hate State's Rights, but now must support them because it fits Gore's needs for the moment. However, I happen to remember seeing them come out of a meeting in Washington just after the Printz case was decided and the federal bureaucracy went into what I called a Prozac week.  

At that time, these law professors said, and I remember distinctly, that the administration should ignore the Supreme Court's opinion in Printz because, in their opinion, the Court went too far.  

Now they want to be Justices. It will not happen. Because, this scribbler knows where there is video tape of their inconvenient pronouncement. And, I would have copies of that five minute tape provided to half of the Senate and available on the Internet for the world to see if either of those rabid-left lawyers were ever nominated.  

Now for some "good" inconvenient news. Well . . . good for many of us, anyway.  

A while back (November 9 issue, I think) USA Today published what soon became a famous map identifying the counties around the country won by Bush and Gore. Bush was depicted as the red zone, Gore the blue.  

In all, Gore won 677 counties around the country. George W. Bush, on the other hand, won 2,434 counties.  

As published, Gore's blue area encompassed a total of 19 States. Gore won a total of 580,000 square miles of the country, which has a population of 127 million.  

Dubya, on the other hand, won 29 States. The total red area is 2,427,000 square miles of the country, with a population of 143 million.  

Those of us who live in the "Red Zone" know that the living is much better here. We have most of the farm country, a more comfortable living standard and -- gasp! -- most of the civilian owned shooting irons in the country. So, it was very interesting to read an addendum to that information by Hamline University School of Law Professor Joseph Olson.  

According to Professor Olson, the average murder rate in the liberal "Blue Zone" won by Gore is a whopping 13.2 per 100,000 residents. While the average murder rate where most of the guns are, in the "Red Zone" won by Bush, is but 2.1 per 100,000 residents.  

Yet another inconvenient fact that Al Gore, Jr. better get into his thick skull very fast is that two-thirds of the American people are now very tired of hearing about him and his conniving campaign of lawyers. George W. Bush is clearly the man the people want, at least for the next four years.  

Back in old England, the noblemen got tired of the arrogant King John's tyrannical rule. "The law is in my mouth," the dictator proclaimed. Not anymore, the lesser nobles told him on June 15, 1215 as they took charge of the situation in a meadow called Runnymede. At the point of a sword, they forced the king to sign the Magna Carta.(1) Therein, he conceded certain rights to the people.  

The Magna Carta started a trend in protecting the rights of citizens against arbitrary and capricious "proclamations" by those in government. As for our history, anyway, it led up to the Declaration of Independence and then our Constitution.  

The authors of our Constitution wrote, in the very first sentence of the body of the Constitution, that: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall be of a Senate and House of Representatives." That is the supreme law of the land. Well, it's supposed to be, anyway.  

But, times are changing. And, as many Americans are learning, our rights are quickly diminishing -- usually in favor of the expediency of big government.  

All of us are familiar with the blatant insolence of Paul Begala, that rabid-left moron who was a White House aide, when he proclaimed: "Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool." That statement was in reference to Clinton's unilateral ability to make law by executive order.  

Is that any different than the arrogant King John saying " the law is in my mouth"? It most certainly does not sound like it from my humble abode out here in the beautiful foothills of Appalachia.  

But, even Bill Clinton cannot write fast enough to sign all the unilateral laws he wants passed before leaving office. He need not be bothered, either. Every year, they have increased the budgets for the hundred and some regulatory agencies. Therein sit many thousands of regulation rangers -- minor bureaucrats just itching to write rules and regulations that also have the force and effect of law.  

So, as his going away present to the American people, Clinton turned all these bureaucratic socialists loose to do as they will.  

According to a Hill Rat last week, there are to be about 26,000 pages of new rules and regulations (laws) published soon. The LA Times says it's 29,000 pages. But, what's 3,000 more pages of regulations between friends, eh?  

To totally screw up our economy, Clinton proposed new rules mandating that the sulfur in diesel fuel must be cut by 95%. According to the fuel and trucking industries, that action would cut diesel fuel output by 20% to 30% and greatly increase the price for truckers. Which means, because most of what we purchase is delivered by truck today, we can all expect price increases across the board.  

And, of course, Clinton wants to designate the Alaskan Wildlife Range as a national monument. That would stop all oil drilling in an area where no one lives, hardly anyone ever visits and very few critters live.  

Sen. Frank H. Murkowski (R-Alaska) protests, of course. He said the plan would also severely restrict timber harvests in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, an "outrageous exercise of arbitrary decision-making."  

Whatever. We need the oil and it's not doing anyone any good under the ice up there.  

Representative J.C. Watts Jr. (R-OK), chairman of the House Republican Conference, says: "This administration's primary goal is to increase bureaucracy and the size of government until it invades every cubicle and every workplace in America. These last-ditch efforts are the last gasps of an administration bent on increasing the size and scope of government at every level."  

Congress can, of course, defund a few of these regulatory agencies and put them totally out of business. No one but bureaucrats and their friends in the radical- left non-governmental organizations would mind. In fact, when Republicans took control of Congress in 1994, they promised to do just that. They didn't. Also, one of the first new bills Republicans passed was a law allowing Congress to overturn regulations. But, the craven Congress has never used that authority once. Not even once.  

Representative Christopher Cox (R-CA) said, the new Congress "might" decide next year to reject all of Clinton's new rules and regulations as a package. That's their responsibility, but it will never happen. They're too busy chasing lobbyists for campaign contributions, taking "fact finding" trips and holding fund-raisers to pay much attention to protecting our liberty.  

The only hope we have, really, is that President George W. Bush will use the power of the executive order to remove a few dozen executive orders and a few hundred rules and regulations.

  Some people think this is a fast and furious election. It's true, too. In its quest to steal the election, the Gore team has dozens of distractions in operation on any one day. Anyone trying to keep track of everything would need either reams of paper or a very good database.  

Itemizing the expense of it all would be a major chore, too. But, in this case, no one wants to keep very good records of expenses.  

Anyway, from my point of view, vote fraud has always been fun to watch and the Democrats have always been quite good at it. It's just that, in years gone by, the media didn't help them so much and it wasn't publicized.  

For instance, I can still remember one election year when I was young and often worked for an important politician. I was always a Republican, the politician was not, but he was a good guy and I needed the extra cash.  

Anyway, I ended up working at our state's Democratic convention one year way back then. Part of my job for the politician was to keep my eyes and ears open and report whatever undercurrents were developing.  

Well, I apparently noticed a lot more than I was supposed to that week. For instance, I noticed two of the world's most corrupt union bosses holding court there. They were twisting arms right and left and paying "campaign funds" in large denominations for favors. And, I noticed a couple famous players from the organized crime world there doing some of the same things as the union bosses. Turns out, the crime bosses and the union bosses were good friends. That was no real surprise to anyone. Still, it was rather interesting to actually see the interaction in real life.  

The first day of the convention, the brother of a state legislator I knew decided, out of the clear blue, that he wanted to run for lieutenant governor. There were two others who wanted the job, but they were more or less wimpy jerks and no one really cared one way or the other if they ran or not.  

I reported the information immediately, of course. My boss thought it was very funny, for some reason. I was told to watch what the guy did and learn a little about "inside" politics. So, I did.  

The would be Lt. Gov. needed to get noticed if he was to get the nomination. That would require big bucks immediately as this was already the first day of the convention. Following him around a little, I noticed that he went right to where the guys with the big bucks were. Soon, most of the big money men were in a corner talking with the politician. But, I didn't see any money change hands. Silly me, I thought he may have been rejected.  

Later in the evening, an aide to one of the money men tapped the would be Lt. Gov. on the shoulder and they walked out to the lobby. Two of the money men were there and the four went outside to the back of the parking lot. Already out there were a few of the Bernie bent nose types. The enforcers, we called them.  

Well, it wasn't three minutes until they popped the trunk on a Cadillac sedan and lifted out a large brown paper shopping bag. I learned later, the bag was full of money.  

When we entered the convention hall the next morning, we were greeted with full sized, self standing photograph cut outs of the new Lt. Gov. candidate and they had his campaign literature and signs all over the hall.  

He got the nod, of course. But I never did learn what he had to give up to get the position. Nothing's free, after all.  

Later in the man's checkered life, just as that job was ending, he began looking for something new. There happened to be a very private meeting between a few politicians and friends in a nice ethnic bar on a cold Thursday night. Therein, it was decided that the state needed an appeals court. So, the Lt. Gov. became the first chief appeals court judge. He kept that cushy job for quite a few years.  

Getting elected was easy for Democrats. They had well paid committees to get votes. One committee hit all the union halls. Another "helped" all the old folks in nursing homes and hospitals vote absentee. There was a committee for each religious denomination. And, of course, there were the groups to work the bars. All were well financed with plenty of "walking around" money.  

In those days, money was easy for the Democratic Party operatives to come by. For instance, the numbers game was local. So was the football card scam so many people liked to bet. Even most of the bookie money stayed local.  

There was a cost of doing business, though. Instead of taxes, a "tribute" had to be paid to the local organized crime honcho and another smaller one to the Democratic Party "working" fund. That way, both Bernie bent nose and the boys, and the local police, stayed away.  

A lot of this still goes on. Some of it is much more sophisticated nowadays. But, much of the Democratic Party's "walking around money" still comes from some very interesting sources. For now, let's just say that huge chunks of that cash was never on anyone's books and never reported as campaign expenditures.  

Also, the last time Congress changed the campaign laws, they opened an enormous loophole that allows political action committees to exist. Lobbyists, of course, all want something. Therefore, the money lobbyists pay to politicians today is no less of a bribe than those illegal funds received in brown paper bags forty years ago. Except, today most of it is legal, so they no longer call it bribery.  

Ask Al Gore how he is paying all those lawyers.    

  ** uhuh **

The President said he is reducing taxes.

uhuh.

Congress says they are balancing the budget.

uhuh. Sez who?
