Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."

This is too easy.

Perhaps ol' Billy should wear sackcloth and ashes for about 35 years for penance. Or maybe he could donate all his own personal cash and assets to the NAALCP.

In deference to tokyo rose, I think the appropriate name for our ex-president is "Kabul Bill"

If Clinton knew anything about history he would know that the Crusades were childsplay. Over the centuries Arabs attacked Arabs and Jews, while Seljuks and Mongols, Mamelukes and Ottoman Turks, all slaughtered more Jews (and more Muslims) than the Crusaders ever did. The world has been the home of many nasty individuals and groups, and only in the 20th century have we had the liesure to decry what they did.

Hundreds of years? No. The payback for those injustices would have occurred earlier.

No. This payback must be for more recent evil.

If this IS payment back, then it is more likely for the rape and plundering of the United States
and the attack upon many of its citizens by X42 and his people (who are still holdovers).

Mr. Clinton, wearing a gray suit and orange tie, arrived 45 minutes late for the event. Some students camped out overnight to obtain tickets ...

That statement ought to read:

Mr. Clinton was nursing his typical, daily cocaine hangover and arrived 45 minutes late for the event. His telltale bloodshot eyes were bleary, and his nose was so reddish in color that it appeared to have been stung by a killer bee ....

Clinton also is addicted to public praise. A very dangerous man, indeed.

This fecklesss heterodock is soooo twenty minutes ago. I've done my own investigation and traced the anger of the terrorist to their mistreatment at the hands of a waitress in Denny's resturant.

I advocate the take over of all server jobs to Federal employees. I am appaled at the random hiring of people who have little or no experience in this field.

"If you live in a country where you're never required to take responsibility for yourself, where you never even have to ask whether there's something you should be doing to solve your own problems, then people are kept in kind of a permanent state of collective immaturity and it becomes quite easy for them to believe that someone else's success is the cause of their distress.

Isn't this, Mr. Clinton, the type of country you, your loving wife and your liberal cronies were trying to transform this great nation into?

Thank goodness you're out of office!

"This country once looked the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights or because they were thought of a less than fully human.

So, Bill, those executive orders, you know, the ones taking away Americans property rights, were justified because you felt those people weren't "fully human".

If you live in a country where you're never required to take responsibility for yourself, where you never even have to ask whether there's something you should be doing to solve your own problems, then people are kept in kind of a permanent state of collective immaturity and it becomes quite easy for them to believe that someone else's success is the cause of their distress.

Bill, isn't this what you, and all liberals, want poor people in America to believe? You have worked hard to convince poor people here that rich people are evil.

In one breath, you, not only, want us to forgive all debts owed, you want us to spend more, then you say they should solve their own problems.

Please, Bill, let someone, who isn't high on drugs, write your speeches.

He knows about terrorism, because he remembers all those Black Churches being burn while he was growing up in Arkansas. This guy has never told the truth, and yet they keep paying him to lie.

Does anyone know where a full transcript of Clinton's Georgetown speech (blaming America for September 11) can be found?

Rush went on a rant about this in his opening monologue today. Aptly pointing out that, while slavery is a fact of American history, it is also a fact of history of may nations, and a current fact in some places . . . we had to fight a war to settle that issue--and did.

My critique of this and all socialism is simply:

"It is not the critic who counts . . ."

. . . and socialist agitprop consists of nothing but criticism of people who are "actually in the arena."

This particular bit of socialist agitprop is aimed at historical political figures for not being sufficiently morally superior to their contemporaries and predecessors. Well, there have been and presently are socialist regimes, and they are not consistently morally superior to their contemporaries and predecessors, either. Least of all the USSR, where young WJBC unaccountably enjoyed a winter's month or so. You know, the country which slaughtered--or slaved to death--millions of its own citizens . . .

Socialists heap scorn on the bottom line because the signal flaw of socialism is inefficiency. Those "actually in the arena" produce goods and services efficiently because of the discipline of competition and the bottom line.

It's a direct result of a more recent past, HIS TENURE! Ignoring terrorist activity and loosening immigration!
