Undisguised hate

Former Education Secretary William Bennett recently said that if you wanted to reduce crime in America, "you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down." The title of the linked article above is completely misleading. The remark was not "a crime comment" as the heading suggests. If this is not blatant racist rhetoric, I have no idea what is.

Secretary Bennett is a Fox News contributer.

Freedom for some

I headed over to the Iowa Memorial Union this evening with a couple of friends to listen to a lecture delivered by Tammy Bruce, a self-identified "openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Bush progressive feminist."

In her speech, Ms. Bruce labeled all public interest groups and worker unions remnants of Communism. In addition, she said that the only freedom that exists is "financial freedom” – and she urged members of the audience to obtain it.

Despite her praise of U.S. forces overseas and her infatuation with money and material wealth, Ms. Bruce was still rather motivating and very entertaining. Besides the fact that she completely ignored me when I raised my hand, she turned out to be okay . . .

A Tribute to Our Heroes

I know there is a lot going on with today's news, but I did not see any news broadcast even mention that today is Labor Day.

To all of America's Working heroes, Happy Labor Day.

If you'd like to send a Happy Labor Day e-card, I encourage you to visit the AFL-CIO.

"When a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose."
Donald Robert Perry Marquis (1878-1937)
