I have been paid to express my opinion for 29 years.   Never before have I been driven to the bathroom, becoming violently ill, over something somebody said.

Not until now.

My wife and I were enjoying a little getaway at DisneyWorld this weekend when I saw that filthy, miserable Hanoi Jane standing at a podium in front of a few thousand anti-war creeps.   

So Jane Fonda is back, eh?   Things are only going to get worse before they get better.

How long will it be before people are burning American flags again?   How soon before freaks are standing in America's airports in order to spit in the faces of returning soldiers from Iraq, like they did to returning soldiers from Viet Nam?   I wonder when Jane Fonda will pay a visit to Iraq so that she can pose with some terrorists with that big, goofy grin she sported when perched on the North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun?

It really is enough to make any good American retch.

Unless we speak out against the Jane Fondas and Tim Robbins and Sean "Spiccoli" Penn of the world, we will deserve them.  Until we drown their pitiful, leftist voices out with shouts of patriotism and support, this will be our fault.

Seeing Jane Fonda Saturday was enough to make me wish the unthinkable:  it will take another terror attack on American soil in order to render these left-leaning crazies irrelevant again.  Remember how quiet they were after 9/11?   No one dared take them seriously.   It was the United States against the terrorist world, just like it should be.

It's time to stand tall, speak loudly and defend America against these enemies like Hanoi Jane.

She's back.  Are we going to let her get away with it....again????

After a couple of days in bed warding off a nasty cold, I'm ready to get back in the saddle today in a big way:  I'm scheduled to interview one of the Southern Methodist University professors who is leading a drive to block the George W. Bush Presidential Library from being located on the leafy Dallas campus.

I can't wait to speak with her.

When I do, I'm going to ask her about grace.  It's something that Methodism is all about (full disclosure:  I'm a practicing member of the United Methodist Church).   Our pastor continually preaches about the virtues and spiritual gift of God's grace.  And when I keep reading the ugly things that supposedly religious professors and Methodist instructors are saying about our commander-in-chief, I just keep wondering why they seemed to have missed that part of the sermon.

No one really disputes that President Bush is a man of deep religious conviction.  His own pastor proudly describes the president as a "good, devout Methodist."  In fact, I often wonder if the reason so many on the left seem to despite President Bush is because he proudly and boldly proclaims his Christianity.

So the concept of a group of an admittedly small, yet vocal, professors from a Methodist college in America trying to embarrass our president with such a blatant lack of grace is simply astounding.

The lady I'm going to interview on my radio show today is literally an "Associate Professor of Christian Education."     Some Christian, eh?

I can't wait.

It's good to be back to work.

I'm sitting in my radio studios fielding phone calls from people who are positively hysterical over the hand-wringing going on over the execution of a couple of Saddam's henchmen in Baghdad.

Apparently, when Barzan Ibrahim dropped through the trapdoor, his head came off.  Ibrahim was the once-feared and terrifying leader of Saddam's revolutionary court.  The two men were convicted of having numerous people murdered, including by being sent through meat grinders.

Death by meat grinder.  Boy, that sounds a lot worse than having one's head snapped off, eh?

The squeamish reaction to the recent hangings is a perfect example of the bleeding heart boobs who oppose the death penalty for anyone.   It was the same thing with Saddam's execution.  The people who opposed it, like the New York Times ("Was There A Rush To Execute Hussein?") are just anti-death penalty.

Personally, I'd rather have my head come off in a split second than dangle from a rope for a minute or more.  I'd rather feel nothing, like the guillotine once offered, than ingest gas or get shot before a firing squad.

And as so many talk show callers are pointing out, having one's head lopped off is CERTAINLY easier than being put through a meat grinder.

Death is death.  Get over yourselves, bleeding hearts....!

When I moved to the Dallas area a number of years ago, I did so for a variety of reasons.  After having lived in the New York City area for a number of years, I suppose I was ready for a somewhat calmer, slower pace.  The company that syndicates my radio show is based in the Dallas area so it would be easier to work with the sales staff and network personnel.  And most importantly, in the weeks after 9/11, our Empire State Building studios were being evacuated regularly, and it's pretty tough to do a national radio show while you're standing out on Fifth Avenue.

My wife and I like the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  There's a goodness to the people here, a real solid quality of life and standard of living, not to mention reasonable housing and cost of living expenses.

But I'm positively ashamed of my hometown in reading about the Dallas-based pizza parlor, some place called "Pizza Patron", which is now accepting Mexican pesos for payment for its pizza pies.

Oh brother.   Now we have an American pizza chain taking peso?   What's next, grocery stores allowing Mexicans to pay with pesos?   Should immigrants from Mexico be able to pay their phone bill with Mexican currency?

The insanity continues.  Companies continue to patronize and cater to Hispanics, in a desperate attempt to get their business.  I guess "Pizza Patron"s pizzas aren't good enough on their own merit, the owners have to conjure up a cheap publicity stunt in order to sell product.

Here's hoping enough people stay away from "Pizza Patron" so that they'll either re-think their idiotic pesos policy or they'll go out of business.  It's pretty unlikely that "Papa John's" or "Dominos" will be accepting pesos any time soon...

Have you heard about the case of the 9 year old girl who has been butchered surgically in order to have her growth stunted?   This is about a sick a story as you'll hear.   It basically involves a family who tragically is caring for a 9 year old girl who is severely mentally and physically disabled.  She can't sit up or care for herself and stays on a pillow that her family evidently carries around.  According to news reports, the parents, who understandably have a tough time caring for her, don't want her to grow.  If she's bigger, it will be harder for them to take care of her.     So they've subjected her to a hysterectomy, a breast tissue removal, and have had her injected with hormones in order to stunt her growth.

Listen, my heart goes out to anyone who has a loved one in such a physical or mental condition.  I can't even begin to imagine how tough it must be to face that challenge on a daily basis.   But surgeries to stunt her growth in order to keep her small, so she can be carted around by her family like a pet rock?

This is yet another attack on the culture of life in America.  Abortion, Terri Schiavo, and now this.   Absolutely dreadful.

Every time I watch Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel, I'm reminded of how terrific he is.  Last night, he brilliantly compared the two huge news stories of the new year:  the death of President Gerald Ford and the hanging of Saddam Hussein. 

Bill pointed out that these two stories are a perfect illustration of the ongoing battle in our world between good and evil.  We said good-bye to a kind, decent, patriotic American President.  And we bid good riddance to a brutal, evil dictator who thought nothing of having innocent human beings slaughtered.

In a way, the deaths of Gerald Ford and Saddam Hussein are a metaphor for the war on terror.  We have good, decent, freedom-loving people who completely understand why we fight.  And we have another side that only wants to tear down the Bush Administration, attack the military effort, and complain every step of the way.

Once more, O'Reilly's "No Spin Zone" does a masterful job in putting difficult topics in a form and style we can all relate to.

Way to go, O'Reilly!
