I think a female president's husband would be referred to as "First Gentleman"
In Bill's case I think First Douche Bag would fit batter.
The clintons' little game is sui generis. This thing goes way beyond standard DC conflict of interest, both in the payoff and in the global implications.
My God, even crooked Russian Mafiya men are more honest than this.
Probably both. Slavery is still covertly, sometimes not so covertly, in Arab and other Muslim lands. Especially white slavery, but then Billy Jeff isn't picky as to color anyway. He doesn't seem to very picky with regards to other atributes either. AFAIK, his only requirement is female, at least I think that's a requirement for him. Yah Never know though.
agree 100%. With Wife as senator he just saddled her for an ethics investigation.
They'll change their tune - but it won't matter. The MSM won't notice...

What can we here on FR do to see that happen ?
If one is careful to distinguish a statement of fact from a statement of opinion, he's pretty accurate, with his facts. His opinions OTOH, are usually a POS.
Any Chappaqua chatter on this?
That's showing me! Just scoop up your marbles and go home! Sorry if I ruined your day by disagreeing with you.

contact Drudge, and keep the story on FR. Do google searches on Clinton publically commenting on dubai. Search to see if Hillary has quotes supporting it. connect the dots.

I'm really surprised more Freepers are not aware of the place of militant, conquering Buddhism in the course of human history.
I do know something about Buddhist history as concerns Tibet. Tibet conquered much of China (that's how Mongolia came by their Buddhism) a lot of India and was moving west through Afghanistan which was scaring the bejeebers out of the Arabs further west. It was achieved by Songsten Gampo's rapidity, ruthlessness and efficiency. An efficiency achieved by immediately patriating the conquered and making them paid soldiers and workers. All the conquered were citizens. But he had no interest in spreading Buddhism.
As far as forcing Buddhism on the conquered that's not possible. Buddhism doesn't work if forced on someone. Period. First of all non- proselytizing is one of the first and most strongly impressed teachings. If a would-be student can't accept that it isn't possible to take the first step on the path. Nothing will happen for them. It simply cannot be taught by force and without the teaching there is no practice and since there's nothing to believe in it is all about practice.
Songsten Gampo was Buddhist but that was very early and Buddhism was a very small influence then. It was to be in his grandson's time that the well know "dawning of the dharma" occurred. Songsten did not impose the dharma even on Tibetans as the native shamanic religion of Bon was still prevalent and hostile to Buddhism.
I also know that the tantric Buddhism introduced to Mongolia from Tibet must have occurred in his grandson's time.
I would never tell you that there have never been militant Buddhist sects, most monasteries served as forts or castles in their region, but their militarism was self defensive in nature. The conflicts came more from the secular interests of local warlords and very seldom as an imposition of religious doctrine. From a Buddhist perspective there's just no point in it.
The reason your first comment struck me as funny was that you said something about Buddhism kicking around the state and then you come back and speak of theocracies. Since, in a theocracy, the religion is the state it made a humorous mental picture of someone trying to kick themselves. I figured you'd say Tibet and I already had a picture of the Dalai Lama doing that. What a hoot!
That may keep you out of trouble.

Welcome! :-)

Pretty.
Trying for a segue here: Have the clintons lost their marbles? (Did they ever have them to lose?)
