WRITTEN IN STONE: AN ARCHITECT DEFINES THE CLINTONS

WRITTEN IN STONE: AN ARCHITECT DEFINES THE CLINTONS

by Mia T, 12-30-02

If mutability of meaning was necessary for the survival of the clintons--their survival hinged ultimately on the deconstruction of words and laws--it is more than a little ironic, and a manifestation of the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego, that clinton's monument to himself will necessarily define the clintons with the permanance of great inviolate places of iconic architecture.

While a huckster removes meaning from institutions --the wife picked up where the husband left off--an architect encodes meaning in buildings. James S. Polshek, the architect with the dubious distinction of having been commissioned to build the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, believes that a successful architectural solution must necessarily be rooted in relevance.

Just as Polshek's buildings have physical layers, so too do they have layers of meaning. His Rose Center for Earth and Space, for example, is informed formally and programmatically by the historic architecture of a designated landmark even as it redefines itself, (often too self-consciously, in my view), in Star-Trekian terms. Reduced to its essence, the building is the nascent universe before the Big Bang, the promise of the undifferentiated cell in its mother's womb,

The "bridge to the 21st century" was, perhaps, clinton's most delusional conceit, so it is not surprising that it would become clinton's self-referential metaphor of choice. His library was to be that bridge, if he had anything to say about it...

 

 

The architect is often the master of the inside joke, witness Robert Venturi's postmodern chairs. Venturi exploited--unabashedly and with abandon--the vocabulary of Las Vegas, its stage-set-as-reality and its roadside culture--bright, clashing, ugly and fake. The architect's inside joke is his hedge against the sycophancy that comes with patronage.

The flip side of the encoded meaning of the architect is the terrorist's decoding ot it. To bin Laden, the World Trade Center was Jewish capitalism encoded in urban space. If Polshek's vision of clinton's library is a bridge, the inside joke is that, at best, it is a bridge to nowhere.

More likely, it is a bridge to the 7th century...or a doublewide to house clinton double-speak. Take your choice.

The stain that Clintoon left on our country is like the one that was left by Hitler on Germany.

Wish I could spell: Make that "Dictatoress" (probably not a word). If not, "Dictator" will suffice. That is Hillary's goal. She will not be satisfied until she IS America's Stalin. Don't you understand?

Absolutely splendid work.

Genuis, I say.

The Clinton Liebrary will be a shining example of what truth in government is all about.

The Death Toll for the clintons has yet to be closed out. I have faith that they will rank right up there with the Greatest Mass killers of the last two centuries. If one of bill's gifts to the DPRK goes off on South Korea, who will you blame? The child who pulled the trigger, or the man who gave a child an atomic bomb?

Spare us the lectures and the psycho-babble, please.

This nation will atone for the sin of electing Clinton for the rest of all our lives. 9-11 was just the beginning of his legacy. The stain of his corruption, his flagrant lawlessness, and abuse of power will reverberate for years to come.

Famous philosoper, Sayatona, I believe said: "those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it."

Would to God Hitler had such a critic as MiaT before he took full power. Would to God Stalin did as well. Would to God the same for Mao, the same for Pol Pot.

You, "kid", have absolutely no concept of the vile evil that is STILL THERE haunting and threatening to destroy more Americans than 9-11 ever took.

There is ONLY ONE REASON Hitlery Clinton is not in full power in this nation right now. God's mercy and grace, and His powerful answer to the prayers of millions!

MiaT has taken the measure of the Clintons and will not stop her "obsession" until their curse is fully removed from this nation. I only pray that the curious will look at her warnings - and the ridicule - (done with challenging brilliance - enough to hide the truth from "the evil" while revealing it to those seeking the truth) and heed them. By the way, the Clintons do not take ridicule well. If Hitlery gets her way - you won't have to worry about MiaT or others who KNOW the truth about the Clintons and are working to get those truths OUT while there is still time (such as our own Doug from Upland). Under the next Clinton reign of terror, such "protest posts" will not be allowed and those doing so will likely be in jail or worse.

Dictators do not tolerate protests or criticism well.

And your ignorance of what makes Hillary Clnton "tick" boggles the mind. Do some research and come back and talk.

Thanks for the reminder: the clintons and their sycophants will be a continuing danger to humans until they completely stop wiggling.

You present a false dichotomy. The Koreans are responsible adults and if they should set off a nuclear bomb, they will be held accountable. Clinton should, of course, get some of the blame, but the overwhelming burden is on the shoulders of the trigger-man.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have broadband.

Your boss must really be bothered by this one...

Mia T: This is off subject, but I have heard that there is a picture of the Klintoons burning the American flag on the Kremlin steps. Taken sometime in the 1960's. If this is true, do you have that picture? Friends say it was published in newspapers prior to 1992 elections. I would love to see it. Thanks.

All I know is that should Hillary run for president, Free Republic must and will play a huge roll in exposing her for the lying witch she really is and the only way to do that is to be on hand, freeping at every location she shows up to....

Good job Mia T. (The subliminal message is to ignore these Clinton lovers, as loud and abrasive as they are.) I like your reference to the bridge to nowhere a well as the fact that the Lie Berry looks like a double wide. I repeat, good job.

Do you really have to ask? W. will be blamed for it. You keep forgetting the DNC, the major networks as well as most of the world have declared the Klintoons to be infallible.

Oh, go over to some lesbo site & enjoy yourself there. We here are not/ will not let these evil purpetrators rewite history. If you don't like it tell those two sycopaths to shut up & leave here to their commie roots. And make sure they take that daughter thing with them.

Why not use a replica of this one? --

It looks like a Borg ship carrying a bloated ego.

Yes, FR will fight "the evil", of course. But, I don't think she will "run" for the Presidency. I think she will attempt to seize it.

I agree. Hillary won't run for President. She expects to be handed it.
