Just Screwing Around
Human Events ^ | 2/9/09 | D. R. Tucker

February 12, 1999 was the day social conservatism died in America.

On that bitter day, President Bill Clinton was acquitted in his impeachment trial. The United States Senate determined that his perjury and obstruction of justice in the Monica Lewinsky scandal did not warrant his removal from office; the Senate’s view was shared by two-thirds of the American people. With that decision, traditional American morality bit the dust.

Four days after Clinton’s acquittal, the late Paul Weyrich wrote an open letter to the American conservative movement in which he declared:

Cultural Marxism is succeeding in its war against our culture. The question becomes, if we are unable to escape the cultural disintegration that is gripping society, then what hope can we have? Let me be perfectly frank about it. If there really were a moral majority out there, Bill Clinton would have been driven out of office months ago. It is not only the lack of political will on the part of Republicans, although that is part of the problem. More powerful is the fact that what Americans would have found absolutely intolerable only a few years ago, a majority now not only tolerates but celebrates. Americans have adopted, in large measure, the MTV culture that we so valiantly opposed just a few years ago, and it has permeated the thinking of all but those who have separated themselves from the contemporary culture.

I forgot to add that to this day I’m still skeptical about the results of that DNA result! It looked like the mother was paid off to disappear. She was gone in a FLASH!

There was a report back then that the mother and son had been whisked off to Australia and the son enrolled in school there.

True, he's making millions.

Today, however, all can see he's the living embodiment of Dorian Gray's picture.

I remember that day well. I posted something about on my very own web page shortly afterwards. The funny thing is that even though I've long since switched to another service provider the site is still up.
