Ken Burns is a liar who rewrites history for his liberal-radical-left-PC audience! 20 posted on 10/15/01 4:16 PM Pacific by TrueBeliever9 |

- BUMP!

- I think that history will view this much differently. They will say I made a bad personal mistake, I paid a serious price for it, but that I was right to stand and fight for my country and my constitution and its principles...

- ...[bill clinton], a man who will be regarded in the history books as one of our greatest presidents.

I suspect that, to spite us all, - Arthur Schlesinger will live to 120
- just so he can write
- the definitive clinton hagiography.

- History Lesson
- by Mia T
-
- Someone--was it Maupassant?--
- once called history "that excitable and lying old lady."
- The same can be said of historians.
-
- Surely it can be said of Doris Kearns Goodwin,
- the archetypical pharisaical historian,
- not-so-latently clintonoid,
- Lieberman-Paradigmatic
- (i.e., clinton is an unfit president;
- therefore clinton must remain president),
- intellectually dishonest,
- (habitually doing what the Arthur Schlesingers of this world do:
- making history into the proof of their theories).
-
- The Forbids 400's argument is shamelessly spurious.
- They get all unhinged over the impeachment of clinton,
- claiming that it will
- "leave the presidency permanently disfigured and diminished,
- at the mercy as never before of the caprices of any Congress."
-
- Yet they dismiss the real and present--and future!!--danger
- to the presidency and the country
- of not impeaching and removing
- this admittedly unfit, (Goodwin)
- "documentably dysfunctional," (NYT)
- presidency-diminishing, (Goodwin)
- power-abusing,
- psychopathic thug.
-
- Doris Kearns Goodwin and those 400 other
- hog-and-bow-tied-save-clinton,
- retrograde-obsessing historiographers
- are a supercilious, power-hungry,
- egomaniacal lot in their own right.
-
- For them, clinton validates
- what Ogden Nash merely hypothesized:
- Any buffoon can make history,
- but only a great man can write it.

Jimmy Carter was a pathetic man. He was clearly out of his depth in dealing with foreign affairs, we have him to thank for the beginnings of Islamic fundamentalism in Iran. He showed no guts in dealing with Iran (ie. not backing the Shah). His domestic policies had inflation up to 25%. His character was as useless to America as Clinton's. The world lost respect for us during Carter's failed administration. Just because he was "nice" does not make him good.

THIS JUST IN: the current hostilities have finally given Bill Clinton a chance at immortality. He is now the only President to dodge the draft in two wars. Consistently, he is the only American President...

from the above...
But the further we get away from the Clinton years, the more damning they seem. The narcissistic, feckless, escapist culture of an America absent without leave in the world was fomented from the top. The boom at the end of the decade turned out to include a dangerous bubble that the administration did little to prevent.
The "peace-making" in the Middle East and Ireland merely intensified the conflicts. The sex and money scandals were not just debilitating in themselves - they meant that even the minimal attention that the Clinton presidency paid to strategic military and intelligence work was skimped on.
We were warned. But we were coasting. And the main person primarily entrusted with correcting that delusion, with ensuring America's national security - the president - was part of the problem.
Through the dust clouds of September 11, and during the difficult task ahead, one person hovers over the wreckage - and that is Bill Clinton. His legacy gets darker with each passing day.
