It is nice to see that another young person feels exactly the way that I do in regards to the Clinton Crimes.

Thanks.

No problem. When I was first reading this article, I found myself just nodding my head in agreement with everything that this guy was saying. His political experience just really parallels mine, for it was because of my disgust with Bill Clinton that I first got interested in politics, even though I was in 5th grade when he first got elected.

then do not rationalize that a president's disgraceful actions are somehow acceptable."

No problem, I have met many other bright and intelligent young people through political conferences for young people (Young America's Foundation) and am not worried at all of our future conservative leaders because of the positive experiences that I have had at conservative political conferences such as this.

Fine, cogent post, skillfully written.

I'm impressed and of course, I agree with Jason as to the negative influence the Clinton era has had and will continue to have on our country and especially our young people.

That's a real concern and I can only hope that as the misdeeds and consequences of the Clinton Presidency continue to unfold over time, that America will begin to really reject these people as they see them for what they are.

The fact that George W. Bush is such a starkly different President (an honest man with integrity) is a big help in exposing Clinton for the moral failure he was and is.

Thanks for the humor, it is much appreciated. I really am grateful that my parents aren't morally obtuse and were able to bring me up with a moral compass.

I thought that this piece was very well written, especially for a 17-year-old person.

Let me tell you something. I have more faith in this unjaded kid than I do most of our leaders. I appreciate your comments.

I have hopes that as the years go by and the true actions of the Clintons get exposed WITHOUT the White House War Room to spin the oh so pliable media, the majority of us will realize what a shining stinking dead fish they were. Of course, speaches like the "Guilty Christian Europeans" just given by Bill and the "Bush Tax Cut destroys the WTC Recovery" of Hillary will help in these efforts.

I'm 18 now and am a left-leaning libertarian, but I am one of the few major "clinton-haters" in my family (as my grandma would put it). I despise him because he is proof to me that those with the right connections can never be punished

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.
