Every poll shows it. The California public -- where most of the political battle to date has been fought -- thinks energy companies are responsible for the crisis and favors price controls -- the Democrats' socialist solution -- by a whopping 70%. We are losing because the Democrats are attacking us with images ("price gouging energy companies") but we are opposing them with arguments ("it's about supply and demand") that are over many voters' heads. If you don't think so, consider that 57% of California Republicans also support price controls. We are losing because we haven't told the public that the Democrats and environmental extremists are waging a war against them -- against their prosperity and freedom.   In politics the weapons of battle are sound-bites and images. Images are created by a story. The Democrat story is this: Republicans are in the pockets of greedy oilmen who are gouging the public; Democrats are the friends of the people. Democrats will use government to save consumers from the clutches of greedy oilmen and their politician cronies. Fear is a powerful emotion. If Democrats are allowed to plant these fears in the hearts of the voting public, we will lose the 2002 elections.

Quinn was much more than an actor to me as I was growing up. The first film I ever remember seeing was Elia Kazan's "Viva Zapata," in which Quinn played the brother of Emiliano Zapata, the peasant leader of the Mexican Revolution. Five years old and sitting in the ornate Kimo Theater in Albuquerque, N.M., with my parents, I remember crying out loud in the auditorium Quinn's line as he rode across the screen after Zapata was killed: "No, no, he's not dead. He's in the mountains with his people." The movie, whose screenplay was written by John Steinbeck, can be seen on classic movie stations on cable sometimes and still brings tears to my eyes.   Mexican and other Latin actors were relatively common in the '40s and early '50s. Gilbert Roland, Cesar Romero, Desi Arnaz, Ricardo Montalban, Carmen Miranda, Dolores Del Rio and Linda Darnell were romantic leads in many a Hollywood movie. But Quinn stood apart from the others. As he once observed, he rarely got the girl in any of his movies because his looks weren't the classic, fine-featured variety favored for those parts.

The combat pits motley Macedonian government forces -- equipped with mid-20th century military hardware -- against National Liberation Army (NLA) ethnic Albanian guerrillas armed with assault rifles and mortars.   If they're lucky, Macedonian troops and security police ride to the battlefields in trucks. Men move on foot through forests and villages, trying to avoid ambush. In these circumstances, foot soldiers in the 21st century don't move any faster than soldiers in the 17th century.   At times, the weapons employed are genuinely 17th century. On June 4, NLA guerrillas attacked Macedonian positions with explosives loaded on a horse-drawn cart.

For instance, Thursday will be an historic and important day for American taxpayers from coast-to-coast. It's a day when the federal government finally will be required to give you some of your money back. -- on average $1,600 per year per family.   Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL), other Congressional leaders, and hard-working taxpaying families will join President Bush at the White House for the official signing of the much-touted tax relief package.

By Bonnie Chernin Rogoff   In the long-awaited sequel to the original horror classic "The Invisible Man," the mercurial Senator John McCain, promoter of the soft money ban with benefits no one could see or understand, returns to his Senate Body. He claims he is no longer masquerading as a Democrat, but has changed back to his original form, as a Republican.   Having recently returned from his weekend jaunt with Senator Tom Daschle (D-S Dak.) Senator McCain has assumed his former identity. As the Beatles once sang, John McCain is "Back In The USSR" (United States Senate Republicans).   But not for long, dear friends, not for long?!

By my calculations we have been paying reparations for years. Affirmative action. Welfare. Taxing many and giving to others. If I took money from someone to give to another I would be in jail. Rewarding failure and penalizing success. Blackmail, bribes, extortion etc. carried on by some to get something in return. And none has resolved problem discussed by Ms Chavez.  -- Bob VeigelRe: Jeffords and Vermont I winced when I heard about the extent to which the State of Vermont has become a haven for the counter-culture. The people there can no longer be laid back. You must move to take full control of your legislature as you've already begun to do. Or at least rid the chamber of those seeking to erode the basic principles of God, family and love of country, irrespective of party affiliation.  -- M. Gordon   I think Jeffords was never a conservative much less a Republican and he was just looking for an excuse to jump ship -- if it hadn't been that it would have been something else -- good riddance. But we need to get more Republicans elected in 2002.  -- Frances Shannon, Spring Branch, TXRe: Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt's Comments on Education ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Pres. Bush is being led down the "Primrose path", that road paved with good intentions, on education (where he is expanding the role of the federal government). My guess is that he is inclined to agree with Charlotte Iserbyt, and if so, he should go with his inclinations, not the popular prevailing views in Washington, DC.  -- Brian Lynch, Austin, TXRe: Is "The Contender" How Hollywood Really Sees Conservatives? The answer is "No. This is how they portray conservatives to the public, for the purpose of undermining belief in conservative principles. McCarthy was right, the public was naive, and we are beginning to see more clearly that Hollywood is little more than a "vast propaganda machine" for the political ideology of the left. This is a "causation, not a correlation", to borrow a term from the statisticians from the election mess. Contrary to their self-serving press, Hollywood no longer writes what the public wants to see. They write what they want the public to believe. Take your pick of platforms, comedy, satire, drama or action / adventure, offerings over recent years have been little more than outright advocacy for world government, leftist ideology, glamorization of the bad behavior of Democratic politicians, and attacks on the constitution and the rights contained therein. If conservatives are going to put this to rights, we need to be less naive about the venom housed in the snakepit of Hollywood. We also need to fund some movies that portray things more accurately.  -- Gregg Bish, Fremont, MichiganRe: Counterfeit America I loved it. Every freedom loving American should be shouting this from the roof tops. I have been telling young people for years that they have lost their freedoms. Most respond with blank stares, a few have told  me "You're Nuts".  -- Willard F. Schmehl, Cool, CA   Great column. I look forward to all Dorothy's columns. This one was especially good.  -- Katherine Krehbiel   Counterfeit America, An Imitation of Freedom is a very good article. Everything written in the article is true. What was omitted was the founders of such policies. THE UNITED NATIONS! Of all the primary concerns we citizens each have, please move "getting the US out of the UN", then "getting the UN out of the US" to the #1 position. This will do more for correcting our national concerns than any other single item. As long as the GOP continues to slowly allow our sovereignty to be given away I will not support the GOP.  -- D. Burch   Way to go Dorothy! MAN it's great to see that there actually IS someone else alive on this planet who has their head screwed on straight!  -- Earl Carter[IMAGE]  [IMAGE] SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
