CLINTON PUSHING EXPANSION OF THOUGHT CRIMES Excerpts from Neal's Nuze by Neal Boortz Right now the U.S. Justice Department can prosecute crimes – crimes that would ordinarily be state crimes – if the victim happens to come under some protected racial, color, religious or ethnic grouping. Now Clinton is pushing to have this so-called "hate crime" legislation expanded to include sexual orientation. If he is successful than the only group in this country that will not have this special federal protection will be straight, protestant white males. A murder is a murder, a rape is a rape, an assault is an assualt ---- regardless of which group of people the victim can claim membership in. Under these "hate crime" laws the crime is treated differently based on the identity of the victim. The concept of a "hate crime" is based on a presumption of the thought processes of the criminal. The assumption is made that the crime is committed because the criminal "hated" or harbored some similar thoughts toward the victim. This means that a "hate crime" is really a "thought crime." If Clinton gets his way, a person attacking me could only be tried in a State court. If, however, I was gay, that person could be tried in a federal court. Now would someone please tell me how this squares with the idea of equal treatment under the law? ARE WE REALLY READY FOR THIS? The lead in the Washington Post story this morning reads: "With remarkable speed, a consensus supporting the deployment of U.S. ground forces in Kosovo has formed in Washington, and a Washington Post – ABC News Poll shows a similarly dramatic shift in public opinion, with 55 percent of the public saying they would support such a change in policy." In the meantime, expectations are growing that Slobby Milosevic will soon start a withdrawal of his troops from the Kosovo region and will signal a willingness to cease offensive military actions in return for a cessation of the NATO/US bombing. The nasty little secret here is that Milosevic has already achieved his goals. As far as the ethnic cleansing is concerned, Kosovo is getting cleaner by the minute. Most of the ethnic Albanians have been scattered .. and the remaining few should be gone in just a few days. In other words. Milosevic has won. It's his victory. Clinton's air raids gave him all the cover he needed to accomplish his goals. JOHN GLENN BURIED THIS ONE A YEAR AGO It was a front page headline in the Sunday Los Angeles Times. In another era it would have gone through the media like a fire --- surely ending up on all of the network evening newscasts. But, it's not another era. It's the Clinton era. The story is simple. The Chief of China's military intelligence evidently secretly directed funds from the communist government in Beijing directly into the campaign coffers of the Democratic Party and Bill Clinton's re-election effort. As it turns out, the story didn't make it any further than the LA Times. It didn't even hit the network newscasts. You will remember that there were some hearings about this Chinese connection to the Democrats and the Clinton Campaign last year. You should also remember that the hearings were sabotaged – and effectively killed – largely through the efforts of just one U.S. Senator. That would be Ohio's John Glenn, who was then generously awarded a trip into space on the Shuttle. boortz.com

MORE ON MULTICULTURALISM 4/7/99 Excerpts from Nealz Nuze by Neal Boortz Yesterday I told you about the requirement at the University of Georgia for one course in "multiculturalism" before you could graduate with a degree in arts and sciences. Wow! Did I ever strike a nerve on this one. It seems that a goodly number of the UGA students are not one wee little bit happy with this requirement. At best, they generally consider it to be a waste of their time and money. At worst, they consider it to be a complete absurdity designed to insure the continued employment of the professors who teach this multicultural nonsense. We heard from a long-term professor at UGA who told us the essence of multicultural studies at UGA. Throughout yesterday afternoon the professor's comments were more or less dittoed by a succession of e-mailers. Basically, here is what you learn in the study of multiculturalism: Every single bad or negative thing that has ever happened in the history of mankind: every war, every act of depravity or cruelty; every famine, disease, epidemic and hang nail; every scornful look, rude gesture, and impolite dismissal; every rejection, red light, traffic jam, termite infestation, pimple and moat in the eye; every broken pencil; every copy machine out of toner, and every flat tire is the sole and exclusive fault of some protestant, straight white male lurking nearby. On the other side of the coin: every ray of sunshine, every act of human kindness, every blooming rose, every love song, every smile on the street and every helping hand from a stranger ... indeed, every positive development in the history of mankind is the result of the efforts of some person who is not white and is not male. The entire multicultural and diversity movement is nothing less than another wearisome element of the war against the individual and the war against merit currently being waged in this country. The most demonic leaders of the left – people like Lenin and Hitler (yes, dammit --- Hitler. His party was the National Socialist Party of Germany) have made it clear that the concept of the individual, and of individual merit, must be dishonored. Today's multiculturalists are carrying that anti-individual torch forward. JESSE JACKSON SETS HIMSELF UP TO BE USED AGAIN So – the Sloganmaster, Jesse Jackson, is talking to the Yugoslavian government about releasing the three U.S. soldiers they captured. Do any of you truly feel that any success he has will be because of his superior skills at negotiation? If so, you are probably the same ones who think that Clinton is responsible for our good economy. The Yugoslavians may well turn these men over the jackso9n. If they do, it won't be because of what a wonderful man he is. It will be because Milosevic recognizes that this would be a good way to embarrass Clinton. It is a violation of federal law for Jackson to interject himself into this situation in this way .... but nobody will stop him. That, as you know, would certainly be a very racist thing to do. boortz.com
