I knew a few would get past my first sentence to see what I was driving at. Having seen some of your other work, it's not surprising you responded with understanding.

Let me help improve your morale a bit more. You wrote:

1. Bill Clinton forced all men into the gutter as he made himself, with the media's help, the lowest common denominator.
2.It is refreshing to see people recognize true virtue and honor it.
3.It's just that we are working overtime to pull ourselves out of the gutter Clinton forced us all into, women included.
1. (I think you meant Clinton forced the standard into the gutter, as if he were the standard most men would strive for (actually reinforcing the media's Feminazi expectations). But what you wrote lets me stress a more important point.)
No Man can be forced into the gutter by Bill Clinton or anybody else unless willing. Others' choice of perceptions are not their fault. It's why the wise use a Godly standard, not the human, to establish their character. This is true even of those who don't call themselves religious. (We can thank God for that too.) :)

2.Yes it is. It's wonderful so many blossomed, that we recognize the real thing after so long a draught. It's also why articles like this one have popped up like toadstools after a soaking. See? The fungi, too, come out to the sites of known decay -- because that's all they know.

3.I doubt you were really there. But whether or not you were, you will help others see they're gonna be happier striving for the higher standard, and that is a very good standard to set for yourself. Keep it up. The battle has just begun.

Thanks for the compliment. I guess I was really referring to the mind of Clinton and his attempt to make us all like him. Instead of doing what most great and virtuous men do in lifting others up, Bill Clinton did his best to pull us down with him. I think it would be correct to say that many of us had no intention of entering the gutter with him, but we couldn't help but be somewhat soiled by his infamous effort, even if it was just by the fact that we are Americans and he happened to have been born here also.

One of my favorite excersizes has been in using Bill and Hillary Clinton as examples of how I don't want my kids to turn out. Define the word 'LIAR' to them and you can't find a better personification of it than Bill Clinton.
