Here is a letter to the editor of my local paper published just before the 2000 elections. It says it all!

Mob-Clintonites share similarities
After nearly eight years of listening to and watching the activities of the current administration, I began to notice some striking similarities between the Clinton-Gore administration and some of the organized crime syndicates that operate in our country. The following is a brief comparison of the Clinton Family and organized crime.
1. The bosses of each organization ride around in big black Cadillacs guarded by security teams equipped with automatic weapons.
2. Both organizations like telling business owners how to run their businesses, how much of the profits they are allowed to keep, and who they should hire. Non-compliance can result in devastating consequences.
3. Members and/or friends of both organizations have served time for felony convictions or for refusing to testify under oath.
4. Members and/or friends of both organizations have fled the country to avoid prosecution in a court of law.
5. Both organizations have had members and supposed friends who possessed first-hand knowledge of questionable activities turn up dead in wooded areas on public land under very mysterious circumstances.
6. Both organizations use an ostensibly legitimate operation to conceal their endless attempts to defraud the community, to plot the destruction of their enemies and competitors, and to control as much of the lives of as many honest, hardworking people as they possibly can.
7. Showing even verbal disrespect to the head of either organization can result in detention by intimidating men wearing dark suits and dark glasses.
8. When questioned by a law enforcement agency, both groups rely heavily on the Fifth Amendment.
9. When questioned by a law enforcement agency, many witnesses can barely remember their own name.
10. When questioned by law enforcement or the media, those witnesses/participants who do elect to answer questions present nearly identical, almost word-for-word testimony.
Some of the differences between the Clinton Administration and the Mob that I have noticed are:
1. The Mob can afford to pay their attorneys without soliciting voluntary donations from the taxpaying public.
2. The women with whom mobsters keep company are far more attractive than the women who are involved with the Clinton Administration.
3. Last, but definitely not least, no leader of any organized crime syndicate ever stood before a Supreme Court justice, raised his right hand while placing his left on a Bible, and swore an oath to uphold the rule-of-law and the Constitution.
Kudos to the author of this excellent letter and to the newspaper for printing it. Thanks for posting it.
Nice job!
A Socialist Government is far worse than the mafia. Want proof?
The mafia won't reward deadbeats and freaks in exchange for votes by crippling the most productive among us.
The mafia understands the need for incentives and support to keep the money-makers producing. Hell, we already pay for the privilege of keeping our homes (property tax), having a job (income tax), having a business (business tax), buying products and services (retail tax). The mafia would be a welcome relief!
Most entrepreneurs, and good workers, would actually flourish in a mafia-controlled government. Why?
The class system of Socialism is just slavery. Entrepreneurs are a threat to the ruling government as they have the ability to change class and thereby threaten the monopoly on power. They are crushed under Socialism, using the tools of class justice and class envy.
Socialist justice, you see, is not really justice, it is an agenda. In an O.J. Simpson/Microsoft/SCOFLAW/obesity and tobacco class-action/Janet Reno world, justice is politicized and scandalous. Votes and raw power are the locus of control. Justice under the Clinton appointees (47% of sitting federal judges today were appointed by the SinkMaster) is all about class justice as against the 'evil' corporations, entrepreneurs and the rich.
A Godfather justice system (as portrayed in the movies by Marlon Brando) would actually honor and respect good people, and punish the weasels and the unproductive. Is it pretty, no. But again, a welcome relief in comparison to the Socialist version.
The Socialists would gladly rape and pillage the economy and degrade it to third-world conditions for the masses. The ruling elite would still continue to enjoy luxury and decadence by whatever means necessary. And in comparison to the oppressed majority, they would live like Arab sheiks. The evil bastards actually enjoy the contrast. Can you say 'Mugabe'?
