I'm not stupid or hopeless. What I said was that the important issue is, when in time Clinton signed the execute order, and whether he left the timing up to the military or controlled the timing by the execute order.

The Military HAD NO CHOICE! They had to act at that point. Your Ham-Fisted attempt to deflect makes me think you are a Clintonista! Tell us--What Role did you play?-

But the robotic repetition of this transparent concoction did not possess any of Mr. Clinton's psychopathic flair.

God help me. I love that line too much.

Oh, ME TOO!!! lol

Condit is God's second slap in the face to America to wake the Sheeple. I still don't think it will be the last.

In addition to the English girl when he was at Oxford I believe that there was a girl at Yale where the security police had the records of her complaint--guess we should all buy and read Hitchens book now that it's out in paperback--also I think that Elizabeth Ward Gracen went public at one time about unwelcome rough treatment in the back of the limo when b.c. was governor of Arkansas and then backed off when threatened with an IRS audit.

Condit's a scumbag, but Bubba Klinton is the king of scum.

"They are afraid of the absolutes which adherance almost always means making certain judgements. They do not WANT to be held to a higher standard, such a thought is repulsive to them because it would disallow their rampant desparaging of our culture, the coarsening and divisions they are working so hard to accomplish so that they can justify their heinous trend towards state control. "

I agree with you... and let's face it... deep down mankind is a rebel. We don't like being told what to do... it's that simple. As you can tell I think the whole conversation boils down to a spiritual problem in our country/culture.

Anyhow, what's kind of humorous to me is what you said about those that don't want absolutes and how it shows their hypocrisy (at least IMHO). They say their are no absolutes... which of course is an absolute statement. Basically it's a 'meet the new boss... same as the old boss' kinda situation. They don't like established religions (in particular Christianity) and want to replace it with their own man-made concoction (dogmatic paganism perhaps??)

Anyhow, I forgot to mention irony of ironies here [similar to what you said about JJ referring to the MLK 'I have a dream speech."

Basically it's this: if you remember back in '93 when Clinton was innaugurated he mentioned his favorite Bible verse, which is Galations 6:9 which is...

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

When I heard that I almost choked... as I had a hunch his version of 'doing good' wasn't what most of us would find good (in particular raising taxes... moving us in a socialist direction).

Anyhow, the irony of it all to me was that IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THAT VERSE in Galations you will find this:

"Do not be deceived: Good cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."

To me, Clinton's legacy is Galations 6:7 pure and simple.

No, I believe hillery started out loving bill, and is now co-dependent because of the power. I think you are on the right track. Clinton is a rutheless manipulator. Based on his abuse of other women, there is no reason to think he has not emotionally raped and absolutely shattered any personal strenghth Hilary ever might have had. He probably conned her early on into thinking that he's the best she could ever do, and that she's lucky to be with him. Then as she became involved in the criminal acts and a beneficiary of them as well, leaving him was not an option. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

My bad (regarding the posting of this already.) I did a search for this and thought I covered all the bases. Appologies please.
