I'm sure your postings are excellent, but your artwork is... distracting.

Democrats are traitors....
Republicans are AMERICANS
What gets me is that he still collected an engagement fee. A former President speaking on current American policy, against that policy, is a big break from tradition and a dangerous precedent.
There is a reason why former Presidents are supposed to remain out of politics, except when tapped by sitting Presidents to use their celebrity status for some cause or another. Comments regarding current policy are supposed to be noncommittal at worst, or non-forthcoming at best.
Former Presidents are supposed to fade into the woodwork. It is a very important part of our traditions that is geared toward maintaining the stability of our Republic. It is just as important as the immunity former Presidents receive from prosecution for actions taken while they were in office. These are traditions that are important to securing our Republic from the same forces that brought down past democracies and republics in our distant past.
The Clintons have too much pride in themselves, and not enough love for our country. They must be viewed with suspicion because they will put their good over the good of the nation. They have done this in the past, and they will do it again, and the immunity tradition has given them is being abused by them. If they continue to push the envelope, I wonder if Bush would be willing to set aside tradition to put the Clintons in their proper place.
Thanx. It's supposed to be....

...which is the slammer, at a minimum.
Bush, I'm afraid, doesn't seem to understand their danger.

"Bush, I'm afraid, doesn't seem to understand their danger."
You are so right. Your post (and the artwork is, as usual, insightful and brilliant.
Well done.
<< A CALL TO IMPEACH CLINTON IN ABSENTIA >>
G-d bless you, Dear Mia but aren't you being too kind?
Why stop at only one of the evil recidivist bastards?
Or waste time with impeachment?
Sedition?! subversion?! Treason?! All in time of war and in the face of our nation's enemies.
The example set by General Washington in the matter of Major John Andre: - ordered by Military Tribunal and carried out at noon of October 2, 1781; - springs to mind as an excellent example of how the Clintons' perfidies might be put behind us.
And perhaps behind each of them?
Back-to-back at high noon!
Short drop.
Does the US have an extradition treaty with Absentia?
Thanks for putting into words what I find the most disturbing about this whole deal.
I believe Clinton is consistently attempting to diminish the US as a superpower.
That is his theme nite and day. We must give up power. We must share. We must come under a multi-national governance.
<< Bush, I'm afraid, doesn't seem to understand their danger. >>
Wish I could any longer believe that.
More and more I am of the opinion Bush's primary instinct insofar as the Clintons are concerned is to first protect the Oligarchy - 'do unto others - and second centers on his belief in the inseparability of the Office and its occupants.
And never mind the insurmountable mountain of evidence - down to their looting of the knives and forks - of their having spent eight years bemanuring the joint. And their along the way and for pennies on the Million Bucks flogging to their Peking masters a Trillion Dollars worth of our Nation's most vital nuclear and military, computer, rocketry, engineering, aeronautical and every other imaginable secrets and treasures.
Bush knows all of that.
Bush is a politician.
I agree with you. There's a patrician mindset that almost works in opposition to the political one.
But, in the end, it necessarily reduces to a failure to understand the danger; if he understood the danger, how could it not trump all his other priorities?
