Bump!
I thought that he was the one who was regretting the chance to prove himself as a wartime president. Wasn't he regretting that Bush, the new president, was getting the chance that he deserved?
Most of us can concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Just try harder.
Safe from whom? The crimes committed by the Clinton administration and DNC (like stealing presidential elections using illegal money from Red China, like blackmailing congresspersons using illegal information from FBI files, like killing cabinet officials because they were about to turn states evidence in Chinagate and CampaignFinanceGate), and the Bush administration's ignoring all those crimes, pose a much bigger threat to this nation's survival and the freedoms we enjoy than any terrorist or other nation ever could.
No. It is people, like you ... people who blindly ignore the fact that very serious laws were broken and that the DOJ isn't even investigating those crimes ... that got Clinton elected and reelected. People like you are no different then the democRATS who put Clinton into power and now keep his wife there. And by the way, I voted Republican in all of the last elections and I still feel this way.
Until you or someone else explains the circumstances surrounding the death of Ron Brown, I'm not willing to rule out any possibility. If they could murder a Secretary of Commerce (and 34 other important people) on an Air Force plane and get away with it, I imagine they could do anything.
Texaggie79 slandered the Michigan Militia by calling them "freaks".
In post 226, I asked him what's his beef with MM.
I asked him if he knew any MM members.
I asked him if he knows any "freakish" acts by MM members.
I asked him if his opinions come from Time Magazine. (Is this what you consider me "hanging" him)?
I mentioned my limited experience with MM.
I asked him what branch of the government he worked for. (Is this where I called his loyalties and intentions into question)?
I thought the play by play was very civil.
Incidentally, you might check his post 231. It didn't help anybody understand the other party's point of view. The slander got worse; he's now quoting militia members saying things I doubt they said (at least in front of Tex).
Hmmmm. When have I heard this before? January, 1998 maybe? Something about an intern?
In addition, Andreas Strassmeir the director of security at EC, told Ambrose Evans-Pritchard flat out there was a government informant at EC. Evans-Pritchard believes Strassmeir was referring to himself. (A member of the Texas Light Infantry tailed Strassmeir one night and watched him go into an ATF building after punching in the combination lock numbers from memory.)
Dennis Mahon, head man at EC (or Robert Millar, the spiritual head) (or both) was also a government informant.
Bear in mind, all these folks are open Nazis, neo-Nazis and/or white supremicists espousing violence and they are all reporting to our government. Brings to mind the Communist trick of creating "opposition groups" where the government can keep track of them, eliminate them, use them to commit acts the government itself cannot commit or discredit them (remember Cointelpro) as it sees fit.
I think the people who sneer at any mention of government involvement are forgetting the Reichstad (sp?) fire. But, of course, that happened "there"; it could never happen here.
The BATF received $100,000,000.00 increase in their budget after OKC. I would bet the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts would not kill innocents for 100M but I can't think of too many other organizations I would automatically eliminate. Before you say BATF, remember Ruby Ridge and Waco.
It most certainly IS the job of John Ashcroft's DOJ--and ultimately the Bush Administration--to rout out endemic corruption of the past Administration's DOJ, FBI, and CIA, so as to rid his Administration of said corruption. If investigations into why the FBI chose to cover-up the OKC/MidEast Terror Connection lead to Reno or Clinton, IMHO it is Ashcroft's/Bush's responsibility to hold them accountable.
"His number one responsibility to to keep us safe."
Do you not see that allowing Rampant Corruption within the Highest Echelons of our Federal Government to go unpunished diminishes the security of us all?! The two are closely interlinked.
