This is an absolutely outstanding essay and I am delighted you posted it. This essay echoes my thoughts/feelings exactly on the damage Clinton did to our youth while president. Though I am 44 years old I well remember the "trauma" of the Nixon years (which pale in comparison to what Clinton did) and the cynicism which this bred in the youth of my era. In some respects this cynicism might have been healthy but it would have been far, far better had Nixon behaved in private in the same manner he behaved in public. One's private behavior is in fact more important than one's public behavior because, of course, private behavior is the true example of a person's character. Clinton has his "enablers" and it would be well to remember as the years continue who and what enabled him; my personal pet peeve is mainstream media and Hollywood. That these two enablers never condemned Clinton's behavior (and this behavior warrants condemnation) tells me that we should never, never trust the media nor Hollywood to "represent" American values... unfortunately, however, not only do they represent our values they try to tell us what our values should be. Thanks for the post - it gives me hope for our nation.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. Having met many intelligent and articulate young people such as this one, I am still optimistic about the political future and conservative leadership of this country. I believe that tomorrow's conservative leadership is more conservative than today's leaders are and will put that charlatan Bill Clinton and his political cronies in jail where they belong. All the hampering that we get from the cynics only heightens our resolve.

We are of the same generation and you're right - this guy exceeded even the lowest antics of Nixon. No doubt in my mind that Clinton will be remembered as one of the worst presidents of our history who was blessed by a good economy fueled by the American people's ingenuity and hard work. I must say, however, that for all his putrid ways, I still give LBJ the "honors" of the most dishonorable president of all time.

As to the article, my son is about this author's age. I'm amazed to see how closely their ideas track. It took the last 2 years of Clinton and this current unpleasantness to wake him up, but I'm pleased to have raised another conservative!
