BILL CLINTON'S
DEADLY FAILURES

IS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS FINALLY DEAD?

By: Gary Aldrich

President Bush has set the nation on a course starkly different from the previous Clinton Administration's approach of investigating and indicting terrorist perpetrators. Most agree today that Clinton's response was a deadly failure, but many involved in the protection of national security knew it was a disastrous course before it became U.S. policy. Those who objected to the Clintonista's new world order tactics were immediately scorned.

In addition to shadowing terrorists, hundreds of Clinton Administration FBI agents fanned out all over the country to find "violent conspiracies" among abortion clinic protesters, and they infiltrated the meetings of flannel-shirted militia types deemed to be the real threat to Bill and Hillary Clinton's political agenda. Janet Reno had FBI agents checking moving dirt piles to nail environmental criminals, and deadbeat dads were looking over their shoulders for the "G" men who they knew could not be far behind.

How many FBI agents were tasked to interview church-goers, while real terrorists were conducting slave auctions, or rounding up Christians and killing them by the thousands? While their co-conspirators poured into our country and roamed freely, in other countries they murdered innocent civilians, some of them our citizens and hid behind religious belief. They willingly became human bombs, but we were expected to address insanity with a FBI business card and a subpoena for a grand jury appearance. When will somebody in Congress ask the big question: How many FBI agent man-hours were wasted on frivolous, politically correct nonsense while Osama Bin Laden was getting ready to kill thousands within our borders?

These were murderous, crazed lunatics, but somebody in the Clinton Administration apparently saw terrorists in a different light. After all, didn't they pardon Puerto Rican terrorists? Murder, bombing, and torture isn't so bad, I guess, when the terrorists are promoting a movement seen in harmony with your own political beliefs. After all, isn't everything - including terrorists - relative?

What is it about a religion that proscribes mutilation of a woman's genitals and the stoning of a woman suspected of adultery that bothers squeamish people like me? The fact that women are literally treated like cattle, and can be beaten in public and killed in private is unacceptable. This cannot be passed off as simply a cultural or religious difference. Why didn't we conclude that angry, hostile, violent behavior could someday be turned upon us?

These terrorists said they would attack us, they did attack us, and we had no protections in place to stop them. Two decades of law enforcement taught me that criminal violence has no logic - its just violence. Terrorism is political- criminal violence, a tool excused by the Left who finds terrorism useful when honesty fails them. Terrorism is a brutal attempt to seize power when verbal persuasion is not working. In other words, when lies are not enough, you blow people up.

While Bill Clinton and his crowd expended enormous energy demonizing law abiding U.S. citizens for wanting to own guns - a guaranteed right in the U.S. Constitution - religious extremists were arming themselves with the latest military armaments and technology. While Bill Clinton wagged a finger at us for our anger at his frivolity in our Oval Office, on our time, terrorists were plotting, bombing, killing our citizens and striking our military installations and equipment.

Bombers turned into butterflies were the politically correct vision for the man from Hope who "loathed the military." Many of the Cold-warriors that didn't buy into his hookah pipe-dream were harassed into early retirement.

However, there were plenty of people who were in perfect lockstep with Clinton. Some of these same people appear on TV today and tell us what we should do next. If they had a clue about what to do, why didn't they do it when they had the chance, and the power? And, why should we listen to them now?

When Bill Clinton assumed command, his first concern was making the U.S. military safe - for gays and lesbians. Attacks against U.S. interests began in early 1993 with the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Somalia. Today, Osama Bin Laden's henchmen brag that they shot down U.S. helicopters, and they slit the throats of three U.S. servicemen, before dragging them naked through the streets of Somalia. What did Clinton do? He bombed an aspirin factory and some sand dunes, which amount to symbolic gesturing. Hardened terrorists were apparently not impressed with Clinton's "pop" gun approach - they were only encouraged, inasmuch as they were still alive! It's the terrorists, stupid!

Republicans in the White House may be bad for welfare programs, but nobody - I repeat nobody can ever make the case that a Republican president has ever been soft on national defense. Democrats are infamous for the creation of crisis and false choices. They have led us to believe that if you have a strong military and maintain a strong intelligence capability, that somehow you cannot inoculate children, or rid neighborhoods of toxic waste. Now we face real biological terror, and you can't get much more toxic than the site which used to be the World Trade Center.

Did "political correctness" die along with our collective naiveté on September 11? Try speaking these words:

"Tighten up the U.S. borders! Arrest or detain any illegal immigrants who may have had a part, or knowledge about the terrible event on September 11th. Bomb any country that encourages attacks against the US, and kill their leaders. Rebuild the U.S. military. Report suspicious activity. Take a careful look at those who are joining you on your next airplane ride then plan violent acts against any who attempt to take over the flight. And carry your wonderful cell phone at all times - even in your SUV - dial 911 when you see something that alarms you. Pay attention to what's really important - alertness may save your life, or the life of your neighbor."

Are you at odds with anything you just read aloud? Maybe PC is dead. After thirty long years of wandering in a hazy Woodstock wilderness its just possible that we've become a nation managed by adults. The liberal P.C. crowd has suddenly lost all credibility. Good riddance to the New-Left, "flower power" and all the other nonsense that have now made America a dangerous place to live.

Why did the CIA continue to give surreptitious support to bin Laden and his people after the end of the war in Afghanistan, after bin Laden turned against America in the Gulf War, after the first bombing of the WTC in 1993, after the embassy bombings in 1996, as is detailed in Richard Labeviere's book Dollars for Terror? In fact, even the attack on the USS Cole does not seem to have changed minds in the CIA, if we are to judge by actions.

Was the CIA just practicing bureaucratic CYA? Or were they and Clinton in fact pushing some esoteric globalist agenda, as Labeviere believes?

Three cheers for Gary Aldrich, for saying it like it is. Gary had to take it on the chin during the Clinton administration, but NOW he's got a voice, which can be heard.

The choice is clear either political correctness dies or we as a nation will be extinct.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Memo to Bill Clinton:

Thanks, you psychopathic rodent, you pitiful lawyer excuse for a humanoid.

I blame you, you despicable disbarred sociopath, your evil wife Hillary, the endlessly vile Janet Reno, and the rest of your DNC vermin for emasculating and corrupting the INS, CIA, Department of Justice, and FBI.

While you Clintons partied endlessly, al-Queba invaded and prepared over eight long years. There is far too much innocent blood on your evil hands.

As long as we have Fienstien, Pelosi and Boxer in DC we will know the PC Groupd has a foundation. As long as we have entire communities that are non-citizens the PC Group will have a speaking body. The NWO and the UN hate our Constitution and Bill of Rights. As long as they exist we will have formidable enemies especially when we provide their budgets.

Good piece - one quibble.

What is it about a religion that proscribes mutilation of a woman's genitals and the stoning of a woman suspected of adultery that bothers squeamish people like me?

Proscribe means condemn. I assume Gary's not squeamish about supporting religions that proscribe these things. A victim of Clintonism should be especially aware that proper use of words matters.

Bump!

While PC and the "New Left" aren't quite dead, they are certainly on life support. Sadly, it will likely take another attack or two on US soil before this country can finally pull the plug on these two horrible institutions.

One of the best things I have read on this subject! My hubby tried to say something like this to a local news reporter last night while being interviewed. He was edited totally out of the piece! PC may not be entirely dead, but perhaps it is wounded a bit!

Interesting Thoughts

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000 President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000.... Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S.sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people would be alive today.

An interesting question: This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show. Without casting stones, it is a legitimate question.

There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charity.

The other sponsors terrorism.

That being the case, why is it that the US government has spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past ten years than Osama bin Laden?

It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir.

Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir.

This from two people who have spent the past 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events!.........Incredible!!
