Boy Scouts Under Attack in Connecticut: "Imagine for a moment that you are a radical leftist with a singular agenda: destroy the fabric of American society. If you could pick as a target a group that has been instilling civic values and virtues in young males for nearly a hundred years, a champion of the ideals, morals and principles this nation embodies, who would you pick?
If you said the Boy Scouts of America, you would be dead on the mark. For more than a decade, the left has worked to wear down the Boy Scouts. The spearhead of this effort has been the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU has attacked the Scouts in California, Illinois and New Jersey, just to name the states that had particularly high profile cases. To its credit, Boy Scouts of America has stood firm in this firestorm."

Michael Moore's Hypocrisy: "That's one of the many important differences between America-hating liberals like Michael Moore and patriotic Americans who support our president. We know where the line is, we have basic standards of decency and respect. Michael Moore isn't just a slob in the way he looks, he's a slob in the way he acts. Turning a man who faces the nightmare of prescription drug addiction into a punchline in order to make a Santa Cruz audience cheer is an ugly, sloppy, foul thing to do."

Did you hear that one weary firefighter in California, with smoke billowing all around and ashes and cinders falling from the sky, was rebuked for air pollution because he smoked a cigarette? But, well. This is California.

1. Going After the Gipper
It looks as if CBS is about to depict one of the greatest American presidents as a forgetful, inattentive, callous lout with a domineering, pill-popping spouse, who royally bumbles his way through the Oval Office.
In its upcoming miniseries on the Reagans, CBS is apparently planning on leaving out any reference to the infectious optimism of the Gipper, which helped to conquer Jimmy Carter's malaise. And it's probably not going to mention the 1980s boom that ended the gasoline lines and salvaged the economy.
Ironically, the man once known as the Great Communicator is in the grips of Alzheimer's disease and can't speak for himself. This cruel fact makes the decision of CBS all the more heinous, if indeed its leftist hatchet job is carried out as currently scripted.
One of the scenes has Nancy Reagan urging her man to do more to help AIDS sufferers, but her hard-hearted husband supposedly responds, "They that live in sin shall die in sin."
Scriptwriter Elizabeth Egloff admits making up the statement. The truth is that, at a time when the disease was not widely understood, the Reagan administration made the decision that AIDS patients were entitled to protection from discrimination.
Here's a bit of background on some of the key players in the made-for-TV Reagan rewrite:
Leslie Moonves, chairman of CBS, has spent time with overweight overlord Fidel Castro and schmoozed at Renaissance Weekends with the Clintons.
James Brolin, who plays Ronald Reagan, is the hubby of Barbra Streisand, the Democratic Party's virtual ATM. Brolin has already had some practice playing a reprehensible Republican. He's been involved with NBC's "The West Wing." He's also one of the Left Coast libs who signed on the anti-recall dotted line for Gray Davis.
Judy Davis, Nancy Reagan's supposed stand-in, is an Australian actress who has stated publicly, "If this film can help create a bit more questioning in the public about the direction America has been going in since the 1970s, I guess then I think it will be doing a service."
The Left Coast Report says, despite the CBS racket, we can hear Reagan now, with a fighter's resolve, a commander's confidence and a leading man's charm: "There they go again."

Read this if you ever feel tempted to backtrack on your french antipathy. Click on the following link.
Jonah Goldberg: French Fried: France turns into even bigger foe: "I was wrong about France. No, no, this isn't prelude to an apology for being the earliest and biggest popularizer of the Simpsons' nom de French: 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys.' Rather, what I was wrong about is that the French are even worse than I thought."
