And admission of 'I have made mistakes' is enough pablum for the feel-gooders who don't want absolutes in their lives.

Reminds me of the antics of that extortionist extraordinaire, ol Jessie Jackson. An apology is the blanket that makes the horror disappear (tho it festers underneath). Ya have to wonder why Jessie never refers to Martin Luther King's famous words from his 'I have a Dream' speech, the part of the dream that said he someday hoped people would be "...judged by the content of their character and NOT by the color of their skin". Ah.....the word JUDGEMENT appears here. But for liberals-to judge is akin to throwing the first stone, as you mentioned above, and it is evident that these vascillating worms want our society to refrain from ever making judgements. ( Unless, of course, such judgements involve actions taken by conservatives or Christains, etc.)

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.

Allowing bill clinton to committ PERJURY while the President of the United States is proof. The constitution means nothing to them, unless it advances their agenda towards a full blown state run, cradle to grave, society. Bill Press said as much today on CSPAN.

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.
