CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT BIRTH OF CHRIST
December 12, 2001
Mr. Speaker, the school prayer issue is out of control, literally. Students
in Pennsylvania were prohibited from handing out Christmas cards. Reports
say students in Minnesota were disciplined for having said merry Christmas.
Now if that is not enough to find coal in your athletic supporter, check
this out: A school board in Georgia removed the word ``Christmas'' from
their school calendar because the ACLU threatened to sue. Beam me up. If
this is religious freedom, I am a fashion model for GQ.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the fact that Christmas is not about a jolly old
fat man. Christmas is about the birth of Christ.
CHINA'S TWO-TIMING OF AMERICA
Nvember 28, 2001
Mr. Speaker, reports say that China is two-timing Uncle Sam big time.
With one hand China slaps Uncle Sam on the back and wishes us well in
Afghanistan. With the other hand China sells missiles and weapons to Iran
and Iraq and continues to funnel support under the table to the Taliban.
Bottom line, China continues to aid and abet our enemies.
Beam me up.
I yield back the fact that the Taliban are a fly on our face, but China
is a dragon eating our assets. Think about that.
A CHALLENGE FOR VICTORIA'S SECRET
June 20, 2001
A California woman has set a world record by hooking 7,000 brassieres
together to create the biggest bra ball in history. This bra ball is a
protest against the way women's breasts have been exploited. Now, if that
is not enough to challenge Victoria's Secret, this buxom diva has filed
a lawsuit against another artist who is also building a ball of bras.
Think about it. America's courts are bogged down with drugs and murder,
and now we will be tied up with 200 pounds of Maidenforms. Unbelievable.
Even Slappy White of hillzoo.com cannot believe this. What is next, Congress?
A stainless steel panty hose contest?
Beam me up. I yield back the fact that all this money being used for this
litigation would be better served if they put it towards a cure for breast
cancer.
ABOLISH THE IRS
July 18, 2001
The IRS said last year's 81 percent error rate dropped to only 73 percent
this past year. Unbelievable. The Internal Rectal Service screws up 73
percent of the time and then brags about it.
If that is not enough to cause your 1040 to crepitate, IRS agents gave
the wrong advice to taxpayers only 50 percent of the time last year, according
to an investigation.
Beam me up. The IRS does not need more workers; the IRS does not need
more money. These stumbling, fumbling, bumbling mistake-prone nincompoops
have got to go.
I yield back the need to pass the Tauzin-Traficant 15 percent flat retail
sales tax, abolish the income tax, and abolish these nincompoops at the
IRS.
UNISEX RESTROOMS, WHAT IS NEXT?
June 12, 2001
Mr. Speaker, last week a girl was crowned prom king in Washington. This
week we learn a whole new classification term for men and women: Transgenders.
That is right, transgenders. Ohio University has designated 30 restrooms
as transgender-type restrooms, able to be used by both men and women at
the same time.
They are officially called unisex restrooms. Unbelievable. What is next?
Unisex locker rooms with thong/jock support dispensers? How about Maxipad
vending machines in locker rooms? Beam me up.
I yield back this higher education business as yet simply getting high.
HIGH GAS PRICES
May 8, 2001
Mr. Speaker, government investigators said, and I quote, there is no conspiracy
by petroleum companies to raise gas prices in America. Unbelievable.
Who is kidding whom here? Gas prices are over $2 a gallon, and, in addition,
it just seems every weekend they just raise them 25 cents a gallon just
for the sake of it.
Mr. Speaker, if that is not enough to flatulate your rectangle, the oil
companies announced that gas prices will hit $3 a gallon this summer.
Beam me up, Mr. Speaker; those so-called government investigators are
either on the payroll of those oil companies or they are smoking dope.
I yield back the biggest rip-off in the history of the United States of
America.
THE SELL-OUT OF AMERICA
May 2, 2001
Mr. Speaker, the Great Lakes are now open. The first foreign ship to dock
in Cleveland, Ohio, carried 10,000 tons of steel from Russia. While mills
are closing in Cleveland, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh, steel mills are
closing all over America. Ten thousand tons of illegally dumped steel
just came in to America. Unbelievable.
Think about it. It is getting so bad the Army almost bought, without Congress'
interference, black berets for the Army from China. Beam me up. If our
trade program is so good, why does Europe not do it? Why does Japan not
do it? Why does China not do it?
I think it is time to put things in order in America, my colleagues. Enough
is enough. I yield back the sell-out of America, wholesale, to Communist
dictators, and the loss of jobs to these socialist, communist countries.
ABOLISH THE IRS
May 1, 2001
Mr. Speaker, a government investigation said that the IRS gave, quote-unquote,
wrong information 50 percent of the time. In addition, they say one-third
of all calls to the IRS go unanswered.
Unbelievable. According to my math, the IRS is upside down about 80 percent
of the time. If that is not enough to give your 1040 a hernia, the IRS
says, give us more money and we will solve our problems. Beam me up. The
IRS does not need more money. Congress has got to abolish the IRS.
A recent national poll says 70 percent of American taxpayers favor the
Tauzin-Traficant 15 percent national sales tax. No more forms, no more
tax on capital gains, savings, investment, education, inheritance. Think
about it. And the IRS is abolished.
I yield back those stumbling, fumbling, bumbling, nincompoops at the IRS.
PASS FLAT SALES TAX AND ABOLISH IRS
March 27, 2001
Mr. Speaker, in 1998, Congress reformed the IRS and included two of my
provisions. The first transferred the burden of proof from the taxpayer
to the IRS; the second required judicial consent before the IRS could
seize our property, and the results are now staggering. Property seizures
dropped from 10,037 to 161 in the entire country.
The IRS had a license to steal, and they were stealing 10,000 properties
a year. And if that is not enough to tax our gallbladders, the IRS is
now complaining the new law is too tough. Beam me up here. It is time
to tell these crybaby IRS thieves that we are going to pass a 15 percent
flat sales tax and abolish them altogether.
I yield back what should be the next endangered species in the United
States of America: The Internal Rectal Service.
PEACE IN THE BALKANS REQUIRES INDEPENDENCE FOR KOSOVO
March 22, 2001
From the United Nations to heads of state, everyone is hoping against
hope for peace in the Balkans. I do not want to rain on everyone's parade,
but in my opinion there will never be peace in the Balkans until there
is independence for Kosovo. The bottom line, it is the right thing to
do. Ninety percent of the citizens of Kosovo are ethnic Albanians. Freedom
and independence for Kosovo is the only long-term solution for a lasting
peace in the Balkans.
I yield back the fact that map boundaries have been redrawn regularly
throughout history to accomplish peace.
TIME TO PASS A FLAT TAX
March 20, 2001
From the womb to the tomb, Madam Speaker, the Internal Rectal Service
is one big enema. Think about it: they tax our income, they tax our savings,
they tax our sex, they tax our property sales profits, they even tax our
income when we die.
Is it any wonder America is taxed off? We happen to be suffering from
a disease called Taxes Mortis Americanus.
Beam me up. It is time to pass a flat, simple 15 percent sales tax, and
fire these nincompoops at the IRS.
Think about it.
I yield back the socialist, communist income tax scheme of these United
States.
AMERICA IN DANGER
March 21, 2001
Mr. Speaker, America is in danger. China just built their third missile
base, and North Korea referred to Uncle Sam as an aggressor. Think about
it. We are now looking down the fangs of a dragon.
China is going after Taiwan, North Korea is escalating tensions, and Janet
Reno is doing Saturday Night Live. Beam me up here.
While President Reagan crippled communism, Reno's actions have absolutely
reinvented the greatest threat America has ever had and no one is looking.
I yield back all those Chinese missiles pointed at American cities.
BERETS SHOULD ONLY BE MADE IN AMERICA
March 13, 2001
First, the Air Force bought Chinese boots. Now, the Pentagon is buying
berets made in China. The Pentagon said China is cheaper. Unbelievable.
What is next? At 17 cents an hour, will the Pentagon hire Chinese soldiers?
Unbelievable. Think about it. The beret once signified our elite ranger
force. Now it is about to become a product of communism.
Beam me up. What has happened to the common sense of America? I say it
is time to tell the Pentagon we can hire generals and admirals a lot cheaper
from China, too.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the fact that the berets should only be made
in America and should only be worn by the elite Army ranger force.
CONGRESS SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT NARCOTICS
March 7, 2001
Mr. Speaker, every major city in America is experiencing booming heroin
sales. Kids with eyes watering and noses running are running the streets
and dangerous. Now, if that is not enough to scare the welcome wagon,
our borders are wide open. Wide open big time.
While Congress is building halfway houses, narcoterrorists are coming
across the border and treating it like a speed bump. Beam me up.
I yield back the fact that we are wasting billions and billions of dollars
on a failed narcotics policy that could provide for a prescription drug
program for every senior in America. Wise up Congress and let us really
do something about narcotics.
RECORD ADDICTION PROBLEM
March 1, 2001
Mr. Speaker, another underground tunnel was found on the Mexican border
with a half of a ton of cocaine in it. Dug by hand, the tunnel connected
a home to a sewer system, ultimately to Mexico.
Now if that is not enough to dust an angel. This is the sixth tunnel found
since 1995. Think about it, kids are strung out on heroine and cocaine
all across America, while drug pushers are running relay races with backpacks
full of narcotics under and across our borders and Congress does nothing,
because it is sensitive politically.
Beam me up. Beam me up here. Shame, Congress. American children are strung
out, and I yield back a record addiction problem of the world in the United
States of America.
THE IRS CAN NOW RAID CHURCHES
February 28, 2001
Mr. Speaker, imagine a raid by 150 policemen. Was it a mob bust in Russia?
No.
Was it a drug warehouse in China? No.
It was a church in Indianapolis. That is right. The Internal Revenue Service
raided a Baptist Church seizing the pastor, and, in fact, removing the
pastor by force. Unbelievable.
Now, everyone knows there is two sides to every story. Think about it.
In America, you cannot pray in school, but now, the IRS can raid churches.
Beam me up. America is going to hell in a hand basket.
I yield back the Gestapo attitude that just keeps growing in our Federal
Government.
MONICA, MARC RICH AND A PHONY FINE
February 14, 2001
First there was Monica. While Congress investigated cigars and pantyhose,
China was spying and buying America. Now it is Marc Rich. True, Rich does
not deserve a pardon. But once again two big pardons in the form of plea
bargains have been overlooked, namely, John Huang and James Riady, two
crooks that illegally funneled cash to the Democrat National Committee
and to investigate them now would be double jeopardy. Beam me up.
What are we coming to, Congress? This was not only slick, this is sick;
and America may someday die because of it.
I yield back a phony $8 million fine for James Riady that will be paid
for by Chinese Communists who are taking $100 billion a year in trade
surplus out of America's economy.
BUYING OUR WAY INTO BANKRUPTCY
February 7, 2001
Mr. Speaker, the trade deficit is at $10 billion a week, $40 billion a
month, a half trillion dollars a year. Unbelievable. Japan continues to
take $60 billion out of our economy a year, and China is now taking over
$100 billion a year out of America, and both Japan and China continue
to keep American products out.
Now, if that is not enough to neuter your dragon, China has missiles pointed
at us.
Beam me up. A Nation that buys more than they sell will go bankrupt, and
a Nation that allows illegal trade destroys all American industry.
I yield back the bankruptcy of America's steel industry. Day after day
the filings continue to mount up.
SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT'S TAX CUT
February 6, 2001
Mr. Speaker, there are opponents trying to kill President Bush's tax cut.
They say it is too big, it is not targeted. They say it is even retroactive.
Now, if that is not enough to glorify a 1040, they say they are upset
because all Americans would get a tax cut.
Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. I support the pro-American, pro-worker, retroactive
tax cut of President Bush.
Let me say this, Congress: there are not two or three United States of
America, there is just one; one people, under God. And one tax cut that
qualifies for all of America strengthens our Republic.
I yield back the fact that we have a Tax Code that would give Hulk Hogan
a hernia.
WHITE HOUSE NOT ONLY INSTITUTION TRASHED
January 31, 2001
Mr. Speaker, graffiti on the walls, furniture destroyed, doors glued shut,
garbage in refrigerators. Sounds like Animal House, but I am talking about
the Clinton White House. Now if that is not enough to wax your windows,
former President Clinton has said, and I quote, he wants "a complete
and thorough investigation into this crime at the White House." Beam
me up.
This is the same President that wanted no investigation into Chinese Communist
cash being funneled to the Democrat National Committee, and we let him
get away with it. Unbelievable.
Mr. Speaker, the White House was not the only American institution that
was trashed. The Clinton administration not only trashed, they shredded
our Constitution.
I yield back the garbage at the former Clinton White House.
