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.

Yes I don't think pc is quite dead but I hope it does die and we can have civilization back again.

An articulate and accurate article. A must read. Thankyou.

"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."

Gary clearly meant "prescribes" rather than "proscribes" an error, certainly, but a common one which people should be able to correct in their heads based on the context of the sentence. Hardly a big deal, and not at all comparable to eight years of relentless lying on the part of the clintonistas.

[BigWaveBetty]

My guess would be that proscribe is a typo.

Prescribe: To set down rule or guide; enjoin.

You wouldn't have beaten me if FR wasn't running so slowly today! :-)(or is it just me?)

These facts are just more nails in the "legacy coffin" of "The Great Emasculator". Of course, it is also the legacy of his witting (cynical opportunists), or unwitting (useful idiots), enablers / supporters.

Actually ... it is more their legacy than it is his. That sociopath could not have obtained the power and control he had in the State of Arkansas and eventually over the whole USA, without their wholehearted, continuous, and defensive support.

If any of you don't know who Gary Aldrich is, he is the ex-FBI agent who worked in the Clinton White House, quit in 1995, and wrote the book, "Unlimited Access" in 1996 (of which I have an autographed copy). He was special agent of the FBI for 25 of the 30 years he worked for the FBI, and was one of only two agents assigned to the Clinton WH.

Here is an excerpt of what is on the inside dust-cover flap: "Unlimited Access is Aldrich's electrifying expose` of a presidential administration with a great deal to hide - *and willing to put America at risk* to keep it hidden."

What Gary Aldrich wrote in his book is continuing to be vindicated, and so is he.

"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."

Give us your take on this Mr Communist sympathier jade.

"When Bill Clinton assumed command, his first concern was making the U.S. military safe - for gays and lesbians."

And your take on this sympathizer jade.

Gary, this says it all. Thank you for all you have done and all you continue to do. You have captured what went on for eight years in about 10 paragraphs. That is no small feat. Thank you!

YES!!!!!

Sir,

If I might interject a thought about the extremes of where PC was taken under the Clintoninskies (that is Bill with a little Monica on the side), I agree that this nation was taken far down the pure path toward a pure communist state. But, as with any social ill or experiment, the pendulum can be halted from swinging too far in one direction if there are enough sane minds that can take a stand against it.

On the reverse side of that potential swing in the opposite direction, I would caution against too much freedom being excercised in the limitation of the individual's personal rights. History, if it is anything, is cyclical in nature. Swinging one way, and then the other, but always in a set rhythem with a certain predictability over a long enough period of time.

I would recommend all concerned individuals to obtain a copy of a book written by Melanie Wiggins called: TORPEDOES IN THE GULF, Galveston And The U-boats, 1942 - 1943. Texas A&M University Press, ISBN 0-89096-648-6. Ms. Wiggins writes a compelling story of how this nation was not at all prepared for the terrorism that descended on it when the German U-boats started sinking almost an oil-tanker a day, and more of other types of shipping also in the same time period.

The reasons that I recommend this particular book to averyone in America to read is based on the fact that the current anxiousness and dred that this nation currently finds itself is an almost complete rewrite of what people of that day were talking about and also feared.

This nation is stronger than the one or two per cent of nay-sayers that seem to be so vocal, and short of all the ICBMs in the world being launched in the next fifteen minutes, will be fine through this current and very definite real crisis.

What makes this current situation slightly different than what is so compellingly told in the above mentioned book is that we as individual American can control our current situation, they could not.

As the terrorism of indiscriminate submarine warfare, which I might add we also did during WW-II, so shocked the average American of those days, the U-boats were eventually hunted down and completely defeated. So too will the modern terrorists.

There may be further individual or collective acts of terrorism against this nation or some other in the world. The point that I would encourage every American to do is to go to their front door and look outside. Life goes on for most of America, even for those of us who may have lost friends or loved ones during the WTC attacks.

For any terrorism to succeed, the victims of that terror must not learn the lessons of the attacker, not adapt to those lessons, and not be committed to hunt those responsible for such terrorism down and put them six fathoms under either dirt or water.

The average citizen of the world of 1914 could not comprehend the horror of submarine warfare, or of how to defeat the threat. The same things were said about the machine-gun, tank, mines, aircraft, missiles, and atomic weapons. A perfect world would not have such weapons, but we in the human race adapt, learn, and overcome. So too shall we adapt to this latest form of warfare.

We should all take heart in the fact that G_d allowed this nation and the world to enjoy and benefit from the leadership that George W. Bush is giving this nation. The alternative to the outcome of the Florida elections would have meant a world beyond description.

I am sure that Albert Gore in a perfectly likeable person in real life. The only problem that Gore seems to have is the fact that he himself never quite knew who he was, or should be. George W. Bush never had that same character flaw, and this nation and the world is able to see what we here in Texas knew through his almost two terms as governor of this great State, he is a man to be trusted to say what he means and says what he means.

Now, if the Taleban are any smarter than a deer caught in the headlights of a car going sixty miles an hour down a Texas country road, they will get off that same road and into safety. The toilet-paper heads that seem to be making the decisions for the Talebans do not seem to be as smart as a common white-tail deer, so they will end up getting smacked over the hood of an irresistable force called George W.

As they say here in Texas, "If you mess with the bull, you are going to get the horns." ALSO, are we all not glad that we were not GORED to death in the last presidential election?

Political correctness is alive and well......just not in regards to the war. PC is a war we have to fifgt after we get rid of this more pressing war.

[old patriot]

The real definition for Political Correcness is to give EQUAL RIGHTS to everyone, not special rights to any segment. Civility to all and compassion to the needy, but not a tear to tyranny.
