Bill Clinton: U.S. Should Be Weaker
Many of you may not believe this, but it's true: the last thing I want to do on this program is talk about Bill Clinton. He's the past, but he keeps speaking up and I just can't avoid him when he does. Clinton spoke at the 92nd Street Y in New York City and double-dissed President Bush for his handling of the U.S. economy and Iraq. He also went after his supposed best buddy Tony Blair on this need to disarm Saddam.
What really jumped out at me in Clinton's speech was his remark that the United States should be strengthening the United Nations and other mechanisms of cooperation. Quote: "We need to be creating a world that we would like to live in when we're not the biggest power on the block." He wants us to be weaker! A growing cabal of Democrats actively seek to diminish U.S. standing, both economically and militarily. This is amazing. The Democrats are setting themselves up to benefit if the U.S. economy crumbles or if the war in Iraq goes horribly. It's sick.
Note that Clinton says "when" we're not the biggest power, not "if" we're not. Frankly, most past presidents have a view more like Bush and Reagan of America's kindness and superior form of government than Jimmy Carter and Clinton. Our economic system is the most humane in the world - and the American people are a special people. It's freedom that made our nation great, as socialism and communism sought to kill that freedom and make us all slaves to the government. Support for those feel-good systems explains why Clinton and Carter are more popular outside the United States than they are here.
Clinton made the wrong-headed point that Bush's 2001 tax cut erased the surplus. Of course, there was no surplus only a "projected one" based on inflated Commerce Department figures. Besides, the Bush tax cut consisted of $300 and $600 rebates costing $50 billion. How is that responsible for a deficit of $400 billion? Does 400 minus 50 equal 350 or does it somehow equal less than zero? The deficit is caused by all the larding up of the budget, led by Democrats, but which Republicans haven't done a whole lot to slow down. Despite all of that, the deficit isn't that big a deal, expressed as a percentage of GDP.
Madeleine Albright was the first to talk about how we don't want to be the lone superpower, and Jimmy Carter is out there fully guilt-laden over the primacy of the United States. So I guess we know why Clinton slashed defense and intelligence spending in the face of all these terrorist threats and attacks. He wants a weaker United States. This is why Clinton talks about the signing the Kyoto accords which would destroy our economic system - in the face of stories like that one out of Ottawa saying that pine trees pollute. He doesn't believe in what Reagan called "the shinning city on the hill." We're going down, and Clinton wants to help us get there.

Thought the same was until the day while in Atlanta "PERVERT" told us that we should follow what "BLIX" says, before "BLIX" ever blixed.
The "pervert" owes the MRS., big time and she wants that power back.
A third of this nation was repulsed by what the Clintons were trying to do to us, however, two-thirds believed we the one-third were picking on him, all about "SEX", it was his private business.
So long as they have access to our national security intelligence, I won't be taking my eyes off either of them.

"It seems to me if we would think about it like that it would be much more likely to lead all Americans, without regard of their party, to making the right decisions about how we should approach a lot of these problems that we face."

Bill Clinton couldn't even keep his pants on in the Oval Office--why should anyone care what this skunk has to say.

During the Sh*tbags occupation of the Whitehouse, Hillary lived "vicariously" through him, making and enforcing policy, smearing the detractors, etc. Now the situation is reversed, The Sh*tbags doing the work that Hillary did during the occupation. Those two are salt and pepper shakers, you cant have one without the other. Now more than ever, Im convinced she is running, effectively putting the sh*tbag back in office.

The one-third of us who were the stalwart opponents couldn't stand him on principle but I suspect that one-half of the other two-thirds supported him only because economic times were good and they wanted nothing to disturb the "good times". The remaining one-third either saw nothing wrong with what he did ("hey, so what if I did it look at what the president did") or are so reflexively liberal (like most of the NOW bunch of hypocrites) that they totally ignore what they would most strongly condemn in anyone they disagree with.

How do those those words have anything to do with the contents of any speech made at that location?
To: freekitty; All
You know, all you hear from the RATS is "quit talking about Clinton, he's ancient history, yadda yadda yadda. As long as he keeps himself in the spotlight, anything he did as POTUS and any drivel he spews now is fair game for criticism." IMHO

Clinton and Carter need to go ahead and move. If the US is weakened, even more will be murdered by Marxists,dictators and tyrants than the millions that have been the last 50 years. Clinton and Carter have so much blood on their hands.

I say this with every ounce of sincerity possible: you have no idea how much I had to bite my tongue when I read this thread.
To: Paul Atreides
I have a pretty good idea. FR has posting guidelines that prohibit my real feelings from being posted. Never has one man earned my contempt the way this clown has...
