Re: Mudboy Slim and the Libertarians' "Simple Lust Fer Justice"

Dear Mr. President:

A number of months have now passed since the United States Senate failed in its Constitutional Duty to uphold and protect the sanctity of the Office of the Presidency of the United States, by sleep-walking through a sham Impeachment Trial and thereby allowing a blatant Perjurer, Obstructer of Justice, and out-and-out lowlife to retain the once-revered Oval Office. While this failure was indeed disappointing to millions upon millions of patriotic Americans accross this great land of ours, it will ultimately prove invaluable in targeting specific Effete Elite Senators for future removal from elected office. Senators who believe elected officials are above the Laws they themselves enact have no business retaining their Seats of Power, and they will be dealt with in due time. However, the immediate crisis facing this Nation is the indisputable fact that its highest elected official is not only a proven Felon, but we have since learned you are an alleged Rapist (Juanita Broaddrick and others), an Abuser of Power (IRS-Gate, File-Gate, the dog-wagging Kosovo Massacre, and the heretofore under-reported manipulation of the National Media), and a bought and paid-for Communist-Chinese Traitor to the national interests of the American People. And let no one forget--least of all the Rosenbergs--that TREASON is at the very least an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!!

This, of course, will not stand! The wheels of justice may turn all-too-slowly for this man's taste, but they are already turning in preparation for the Re-Impeachment of you, William Jefferson Clinton. Senators who are already on record as approving of a Felon in the Oval Office will soon be presented with the opportunity to weigh in on whether or not they support a TREASONOUS TYRANT whose acceptance of bribes from the Red Chinese Military Leadership--and the "quid-pro-quo" sale of sensitive nuclear technology to same--has resulted in an increasingly dangerous future for all Americans (and an expensive new Cold War with our #1 Geopolitical Foe going into the next Millenium)!! And please realize that, if 34 Democratic Senators vote in defense of your TREASON, it will serve as a well-deserved death-knell for the once-honorable Democratic Party...and we'll still convict you and dispatch you from office after the congressional Balance of Power has been dramatically altered on 7 November 2000!!

However, for the good of the Country--and the Office of the Presidency--we in the so-called "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" for Justice are willing to give you one last chance to do what you should have done well over a year ago...RESIGN!! RESIGN before Labor Day '99 and we on the Right may find it in our hearts to curtail the inevitable March To Justice somewhere short of your wasting away the rest of your days calling some Bubba "Schnook'ems" in a 7'x10' honeymoon suite in some Federal Penitentiary. Of course, Hell'ry could still make conjugal visits...LOL! Just blame me, if you'd like, a self-proclaimed "Right-Wing Zealot!" for your premature flight from office. Perhaps you can even "spin it" in such a way as to get you some sympathy points and improve the electoral chances for both Algore AND your wife... nice legacy, by the way...ROFLMAO! Sure, you'll have to give up your Presidential Pension and, of course, you'll be disbarred, but most likely your jailtime can be kept to a few short years. After all the pain and embarrassment you have thrust upon your wife and daughter, will you not spare them the ignominy and pain of having a husband or father rotting away the rest of his once-promising life in prison for TREASON?! For if you do not RESIGN soon, I--and many others--will do everything in our considerable power to guarantee you that the inevitable Tsunami of Justice will proceed as follows:

RE-IMPEACH. CONVICT. DETHRONE. DE-PENSION. DISBAR. INDICT. CONVICT. IMPRISON. DISCARD KEY. (COURT-MARTIAL/CONVICTION FOR TREASON PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION.)

I don't mean to put too fine of a point on this, Slick Willie, you have been officially put on notice! Enjoy the music, then FACE THE MUSIC...RESIGN NOW!!

Quite Sincerely,

Mudboy Slim

"TERRORISM: SADDAM HUSSEIN'S WEAPON OF CHOICE!!"

"Faced with an obvious impending plethora of evidence showing the threat posed by Saddam Hussein in the form of ballistic missiles, chemical agents and biological weaponry, foes of toppling Saddam have changed tactics. They now focus on what they claim is a lack of evidence linking Iraq to al Qaeda. First of all, links to al Qaeda are not the question. Our enemies in this conflict are Islamic militants (“Jihadists”) from several groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and al Qaeda who have been at war with the United States since at least 1982.

"An odd alliance of Buchannanite neo-isolationists and radical Hollywood leftists, such as Susan “What did Iraq do to us?” Sarandon, would have you believe that Saddam Hussein has virtually nothing to do with terrorism and is an arch-enemy of the Jihadists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Saddam Hussein’s ties to terrorist groups have been documented by investigative reporters, intelligence operatives, authors and politicians from both the left and right for years. In fact, only recently have neo-isolationists and Hollywood radicals called his ties to terrorism into question. As part of the cease-fire agreement that stopped the Gulf War in 1991, as contained in U.N. Security Council Resolution 687 (April 3, 1991), Iraq agreed that it must not commit or support terrorism or allow terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq. Along with virtually every other condition in that resolution, Iraq has violated this one early and often. Despite what you may read in your newspaper or see on television news, Iraq has a long history as a state sponsor of terrorism. In fact, Iraq has been included on our State Department's list of terrorist sponsoring nations for two decades—long before the Gulf War. Now, suddenly, critics of U.S. policy are all but claiming that Saddam Hussein has no ties to terrorism. Their mantra seems to be: “Where is the proof?’

"Why are the neo-isolationists and Hollywood radicals asking for “proof” of Saddam Hussein’s ties to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups? Because they know that it will be virtually impossible to produce. As former CIA director James Woolsey once said: "Hearsay is not admissible as evidence and almost all intelligence is hearsay. Evidentiary standards are the wrong standards." Had we insisted upon hard, courtroom evidence, the Taliban regime would still be in power in Afghanistan today. The fact is, Iraq shelters known, wanted terrorists, allows terrorist groups to maintain offices within its borders and operates a terrorist training camp at Salman Pak, complete with the fuselage of an airliner for practicing hijacking.

"....It has also been reported that members of the Jihadist Palestinian terror group Hamas trained at Salman Pak and that Saddam has paid large sums of money to surviving family members of suicide bombers. One indisputable terror crime that Iraq was involved in was the attempted assassination in 1993 of former President George H. W. Bush during his visit to Kuwait. In fact, President Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile strike in retaliation for that failed plot, which was put together by Iraqi intelligence. In the past few years, two independent investigators have uncovered evidence that would seem to indicate Iraqi involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Dr. Laurie Mylroie published a book entitled “Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War Against America.” That book details evidence of Iraqi involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The book has been updated and republished as “The War Against America: Saddam Hussein and the World Trade Center Attacks.” William F. Buckley, Jr. said that Mylroie’s book “reports persuasively that Saddam Hussein was the sponsor of the 1993 attempt on the World Trade Center. Lest you believe that Mylroie is just an arch-conservative idealogue writing in support of the Bush administration, you may want to know that this book was published in 2000, before George W. Bush was even elected. Furthermore, Mylroie is a former adviser to none other than Bill Clinton. Most importantly, however, in her book, Dr. Mylroie reveals that Jim Fox, the director of the New York FBI at the time of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, concluded that Iraq was behind the bombing. Moreover, one of the suspects still wanted in the 1993 World Trade Center attack, Abdul Yasin, is known to have fled the country and is now in Baghdad. That fact alone puts Iraq in violation of UNSCR 687."

"A message on official state letterhead in which Black graphically describes what happens to a fetus during an abortion!!"

"RICHMOND -- A Republican lawmaker infuriated Democrats Wednesday by sending members of the Senate pink plastic fetus dolls with a letter asking, ``Would you kill this child?'' Del. Richard Black of Loudoun County said the doll, which he described as a ``little Barbie doll baby'' in its first trimester, was intended to remind senators of the human side of abortion. It was accompanied by a message on official state letterhead in which Black graphically describes what happens to a fetus during an abortion. ``This is the size and shape of an actual first-trimester baby,'' the letter reads. ``Abortionists kill most babies at this stage of development.'' Both the Senate and House are considering several important abortion bills in the closing weeks of the session, with conservative legislators confident many will get through with veto-proof margins. The tide of conservatism in both chambers has so alarmed DemonRATS that more than a dozen lawmakers attended a news conference Wednesday where they railed against measures they say will set abortion rights in Virginia back to the days before Roe v. Wade."

Since our goofy, buck-toothed MORON of a Governor so boldly declared his "Conservatism" in last year's election, I'm sure he'll GLADLY sign whatever legislation comes his way that saves the lives of UnbornChildren...Right?!

"Bush Call UN's Bluff!!"

"Saddam Hussein has been playing the UN for a fool for 12 years. He'll do so for another 12, if it lets him. He has just ordered his field commanders to prepare to use chemical weapons in the event of war. "The very weapons," Bush noted ironically, "the dictator tells the world he does not have." Bush also recounted the stark links between Saddam and global terrorism, even while the State Department was issuing a worldwide warning to Americans of an increased danger of chemical or biological terrorist attacks. The dots connect. Saddam believes he can buy time by dribbling out small concessions day by day. Yesterday, he coughed up one scientist for UN arms inspectors to interview. One, out of thousands in his employ. He says he may now allow overflights of U-2 spy planes to check on Iraqi facilities (that is, until the heat is off, whereupon he will likely shoot them down). The world mustn't be tricked. It's all a Saddam sideshow just to stop the clock."

Awesome...give US the UN Security Council blessing or display to the World the Franco-Germanic powerlessness to effect World Events as America Liberates Iraq despite them!!

Way to go, Dubyuh...when you got the good hand, raise the stakes, then PLAY IT!!

UN SUCKS...MUD

BTW..."Gestures are cheap. His only option is immediate, complete and unconditional disarmament. But as Bush and Powell have proved to a mathematical certitude, Saddam has not disarmed and he has no intention of disarming - ever. In fact, he is rearming. Nations like France and Germany might not want to face up to these verities. But, as Bush said, "The game is over. Saddam Hussein will be stopped." The President is willing to seek a new resolution to underscore the Security Council's resolve. He'd like to have - and he deserves - the UN's support, but he's prepared to go it alone.

Yer NOT Alone, President Bush, Patriotic Americans stand behind you 100%...MUD

"Dubyuh's Rope-A-Dope Strategy"

"On Aug. 30 of last year, after hearing a summer's worth of go-it-alone honkings, Jim Winkler, the general secretary of the United Methodist Church, warned that the Iraq conflict "can and should be dealt with by the United Nations. ... No member nation has the right to take unilateral military action without the approval of the UN Security Council, approval the United States has not received." Two weeks later, Winkler's worst hopes were realized when Bush spoke in front of the General Assembly, asking for a resolution that he would later receive, and portraying Iraq as the UN's most important test of credibility to date. As Jonah Goldberg of the UN-hating National Review put it, "Somehow, Bush managed, once again, to do exactly what his critics wanted him to and defeat them entirely in the process." This tactic has come to be known, by critics and admirers alike, as the "rope-a-dope" strategy, in honour of the novel way boxer Muhammad Ali defeated heavyweight champion George Foreman in Zaire 28 years ago. Faced with a much more powerful opponent, Ali taunted him before the fight ("You have heard of me before you were young. You've been following me since you were a little boy. Now, you must meet me, your master!" according to Norman Mailer's The Fight), surprised everyone by aggressively attacking Foreman in the first round, then spent the rest of the night leaning defensively against the ropes, deflecting and absorbing punishment, and successfully counter-punching with precision and surprise when the big man wore himself out."

Very interesting article, IMHO...MUD
