What about the time, right after Waco, when he passes the buck and said, "You better ask Janet Reno about that."
Perhaps you need a refresher course on American History since January 20th, 1993.
He should have been tried, convicted and hung for his crimes. He should not be walking among us. He defiles the ground he walks on. He's the lowest of low, the sleeziest of sleeze. He'd be more at home living in a septic tank, or the NYC sewer system, than walking among free people.
I pray that I outlive him so I can urinate on his grave.
Some few had to hound a howl for justice during his shameful tenure. It fell to us as a sacred trust.
Lest the nation forget, this small forum will always sound the call. As Edmund Burke said of Hastings in his Manager for Impeachment presentation:
Re-read this and know that there are those here that will ever flow with animosity, in the grand tradition of Burke.If it should still be asked why we show sufficient acrimony to exact a suspicion of being in any manner influenced by malice or a desire of revenge, to this, my Lords, I answer, because we should be thought to know our duty, and to have all the world know how resolutely we are resolved to perform it. The Commons of Great Britain are not disposed to quarrel with the Divine Wisdom and Goodness, which has moulded up revenge into the frame and constitution of man. He that has made us what we are has made us at once resentful and reasonable. Instinct tells a man that he ought to revenge an injury; reason tells him that he ought not be a judge in his own cause. From that moment revenge passes from the public to the private hand; but in being transferred it is far from being extinguished. My Lords, it is transferred as a sacred trust to be exercised for the injured, in measure and proportion, by persons, who feeling as he feels, are in a temper to reason better than he can reason. Revenge is taken out of the hands of the original injured proprietor, lest it should be carried beyond the bounds of moderation and justice. But, my Lords, it is in its transfer exposed to a danger of an opposite description. The delegate of vengeance may not feel the wrong sufficiently: He may be cold and languid in the performance of his sacred duty. It is for these reasons that good men are taught to tremble even at the first emotions of anger and resentment for their own particular wrongs; but they are likewise taught, if they are well taught, to give the loosest possible rein to their resentment and indignation, whenever their parents, their friends, their country, or their brethren of the common family of mankind are injured. Those who have not such feelings, under such circumstances, are base and degenerate. These, my Lords, are the sentiments of the Commons of Great Britain.
Lord Bacon has very well said, that "revenge is a kind of wild justice." It is so, and without this wild austere stock there would be no justice in the world. But when, by the skilful hand of morality and wise jurisprudence, a foreign scion, but of the very same species, is grafted upon it, its harsh quality becomes changed, it submits to culture, and, laying aside its savage nature, it bears fruits and flowers, sweet to the world, and not ungrateful even to heaven itself, to which it elevates its exalted head. The fruit of this wild stock is revenge regulated, but not extinguished, -- revenge transferred from the suffering party to the communion and sympathy of mankind. This is the revenge by which we are actuated, and which we should be sorry, if the false, idle, girlish, novel-like morality of the world should extinguish in the breast of us who have a great public duty to perform.
This sympathetic revenge, which is condemned by clamorous imbecility, is so far from being a vice, that it is the greatest of all possible virtues, -- a virtue which the uncorrupted judgement of mankind has in all ages exalted to the rank of heroism. To give up all the repose and pleasures of life, to pass sleepless nights and laborious days, and, what is ten times more irksome to an ingenuous mind, to offer oneself to calumny and all its herd of hissing tongues and poison fangs, in order to free the world from fraudulent prevaricators, from cruel oppressors, from robbers and tyrants, has, I say, the test of heroic virtue, and well deserves such a distinction. The Commons despairing to attain the heights of this virtue, never lose sight of it for a moment. For seventeen years they have, almost without intermission, pursued, by every sort of inquiry, by legislative and by judicial remedy, the cure of this...malady, worse ten thousand times than the leprosy which our forefathers brought from the east. Could they have done this, if they had not been actuated by some strong, some vehement, some perennial passion, which, burning like the Vestal fire chaste and eternal, never suffers generous sympathy to grow cold in maintaining the rights of the injured or in denouncing the crimes of the oppressor?
My Lords, the Managers for the Commons have been actuated by this passion; my Lords, they feel its influence at this moment; and so far from softening either their measures or their tone, they do here, in the presence of their Creator, of this House, and of the world, make this solemn declaration, and nuncupate this deliberate vow: that they will ever flow with the most determined and unextinguishable animosity against tyranny, oppression, and perculation in all, but more particularly as practiced by this man...; that they never will relent, but will pursue and prosecute him and it, till they see corrupt pride prostrate under the feet of justice. We call upon your Lordships to join us; and we have no doubt that you will feel the same sympathy that we feel, or (what I cannot persuade my soul to think or my mouth to utter) you will be identified with the criminal whose crimes you excuse, and rolled with him in all the pollution of ...[this] guilt from generation to generation. Let those who feel with me upon this occasion join with me in this vow: if they will not, I have it all to myself.
Clinton is accosting strangers in the street to defend himself because he KNOWS he either screwed up, or did something wrong deliberately. As the terrorists waited until he was out of office to do this, I suspect the latter is the truth.
dep
He's a rapist who bombs aspirin factories to turn attention away from his crimes.
No, we are not harsh, we are honest.
BTW, welcome to Free Republic.
a) The depth of knowledge of the Middle East and Osama bin Laden and related topics you will find here.
b) The balance, sophistication, and consistent debunking of bad information you will find here in the face of concerted efforts of all kinds of extremists to hijack this forum.
The well-documented depths to which Clinton did in fact go. He is a bad, bad, bad man. Much worse than I thought possible.
Just the fact that Craig Livingstone walked barefoot thru confidential files on up towards a thousand members of the opposition party without cause--and was never punished except for losing a job he should never have even been considered for in the first place--would have been quite enough to impeach any Republican president. And you, mister
Nouge member since September 24th, 2001
voted for x42's reelection even knowing all that, and Travelgate, and . . . what's the use! Unbelievable!
Man, you ARE a newbie, aren't you.
This thread is downright gentle on the Disgraced, Impeached, Rapist, Treasonous, (ex) POTUS
formerly referred to on this forum as DIRTPOTUS.
Now he is just x42 and is considered to be as relevant, useful and valuable as a used condom floating in a septic tank.
He will never be forgiven for the damage he did to America. We will never forget that this is the guy who ate pizza and got a blow-job while discussing the deployment of troops in the Balkins. We will never forget his lies, his treason or his immorality.
If you are looking for sympathy for that pile of buzzard puke, you have come to the wrong shop.
Gee... Anyone think I am being harsh here?
Sorry, it is my belief the only regret bubba has is not being the center of attention.
He is a sociopath. He is the center of his own universe.
7000 THOUSAND civilians are dead bevause Party Boy Prez was too busy getting Blow-Jobs and sending ou his minions to destroy people like Ken Starr.
You are partially responsible because "actions have consequences"......your parents should have taught you that.
