Posted on 11/08/2001 7:40:28 AM PST by TommyDale

Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."

If "we" as a nation are paying any kind of debt, it is for electing X42 IMPOTUS.

x42 quotes from the article:

we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness

This battle fundamentally is about what you think about the nature of truth

This man is sick sick sick.

A writer couldn't put so UNself-aware a character into a novel, because no editor would find it remotely reasonable.

Does this mean that in his eyes, we don't need to pay reparations? What a joke of a president.

As a "Native American"! Bill Clinton and all these other jerks do not speak for me. Why the hell would I wish pain on misery on others? Clinton makes me sick.

TAKI'S TOP DRAWER
Taki

Friends of Osama

If Bill Clinton did tell the girlfriend of one of the Beatles that he could do a much better job against the Taliban were he president rather than George W. Bush, it only confirms what some of us have known all along: there is no bald-faced phony, no lunchbucket pilferer more petty than America’s 42nd president. Mind you, if he said it, and I’m sure he did, knowing Clinton, he will just as surely deny it. Denial, after all, is what Clinton’s legacy is all about, a lesson he learned early in life, one that has served him well throughout his career.

The other lesson that’s served him well is the token gesture. It was Clinton who went on the air and announced that the perpetrators of terror against Uncle Sam would be quickly rounded up and brought to justice. It was Clinton who ordered a few cruise missiles to hit Sudan after he got caught with his pants down.

It was Clinton who ordered investigations after the bombing of the USS Cole last year and then went back to business as usual. It was Clinton who cut and ran from Somalia after some of our boys were killed in battle and their bodies run through the streets of Mogadishu.

Now put yourself in Osama bin Laden’s shoes. After such halfhearted responses from the numero-uno power on Earth, he would have been very stupid not to escalate.

The rot, of course, began with Jimmy Carter. When the hostages were taken in Tehran, Carter pulled a Clinton. From the mullahs’ point of view, the peanut farmer looked as intimidating as Shirley Temple, and half her size. At the time, I was asked by an editor of a political weekly (he was considering me as a columnist) what I would do were I president.

Easy, I told him. I’d carpet-bomb Kum or Isfahan, and land the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions at Tehran to rescue the American hostages. "What about losses?" asked the incredulous editor. "No matter how many hostages were killed, and how many of our soldiers, it would be worth it for the future," was my answer.

Let’s face it. Soldiers are trained to fight, but also to die. Carter took the soft option, and ever since America has been the patsy. Any attack on America is risk-free as far as militant Islam is concerned, so the attacks have escalated ever since.

But back to the venal and power-crazy Clinton. It was he who through demagoguery fooled the people yet again while decimating America’s military. It was he who undertook to destroy America’s intelligence agencies by posting people like John Deutch and Nora Slatkin as heads of the CIA, who in turn implemented a "human rights scrub" policy. Deutch and Slatkin were no accidental appointments.

They were Clinton’s way of implementing his anti-intelligence, 60s antiwar theories. It was Clinton, with the grotesque Hillary whispering in his ear, getting back at the institutions whose men–and few women–he never managed to fool: the military and the intelligence agencies.

Hundreds of years? No. The payback for those injustices would have occurred earlier.

No. This payback must be for more recent evil.

If this IS payment back, then it is more likely for the rape and plundering of the United States
and the attack upon many of its citizens by X42 and his people (who are still holdovers).

This ex-criminal White House official is driven by his pathological need for the limelight. He gnashes his teeth every night, I am sure, that he didn't have the chance (translation: DIDN'T HAVE THE SPINE to fight for us) to be the CINC during this crisis. How can the media keep printing his garbage?????!!!

Clinton can say this crap and it comes off as gospel. When Falwell and Robertson say the WTC disaster is the result of promiscuity, homosexuality, abortion, yada yada yada, they get flamed by the media. ( I think the point Falwell and Robertson were trying to make is the US was targeted as the "great satan",and these aspects of american culture are slouching us towards Gommorrah).

I am sick of the "Indian" question. "They" are constantly clamoring for special rights and treatment from selling their own "tribal" car tags at discounted rates, to not paying taxes at their stores, to running casinos and other gambling establishments. Why do I put the words "indian" and "tribe" in quotes? Because in reality there are almost no Indians left. There are only a handfull of full blood indians left but the "tribes" number in the tens of thousands due to their allowing as little as 1/64 blood to be included in a tribe. (percentage is different for each tribe) Many "indians" are as white as any scotlander or as black the ace of spades. We should no longer recognize these "tribes" and dispense with the special treatment of a few at the expense of the rest of us.

gary,

Does this not explain why Klintoon failed to go after the "terrorists". It appears that he was giving them a bye as his little way of making amends to all the oppressed peeples of the world.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that a President can be impeached even after he leads office. That would at least strip him of ever using the title "mr. president". This man is a TRAITOR!!!!!!!!

If there was any justice in this country, clinton would be in Levenworth.

I'm not sure if that is exactly the way Rush said it so I didn't use qoutation marks, but it is close.

And Rush is right.

I am always amazed at how many Jack@$$es think that religious intolerance and persecution began with the Christians and the Crusades. How many years were Christians being hunted down and fed to the lions.
Clinton ought to be praising America. Where else in the World could a stupid S.O.B. be elected to the office of President.

No. We need ot be cocksure of ourselves and act in our own self interest with confidence and strength. The world respects power and only power that is real and not simply paper. Tears over loser regimes are only an attempt to corrupt the winners from within.

We do not need blind arrogance. However, we do need clear eyed self-assertion. Clinton an dhis ilk hates and fears that. This is why he dismantled US security as best he could and so is really at bottom for 9/11 and so much more.

When Clinton first raised his bulbous head from the foxhole after 9/11 and "visited" NYC, I just loved it when the Fox reporter approached him on the street and asked, "Mr. President, don't you feel responsible for all this?" WJC froze because even he knew the real truth, then recovered with the same old bs spin he is best at.

Given Clinton's ACTIONS as President,young black women should be sex objects, and if they resist, raped and then publically castigated and vilified. And black men should be taxed to death.

In all the history of the world, only Western Civilization saw fit to abolish slavery. Here in the United States, we fought a civil war because we could not exist half-slave and half free. In the sixties whites and blacks marched in solidarity to push for civil rights. It'll be a cold day in Hell before we see other cultures--anywhere--show the same degree of magnanimity.

Worth repeating.

I think the point they were trying to make is that if we do sinful, evil things, God will withdraw his protection from America, and America will descend into the same abyss of corruption, violence, and impoverishment that is the lot of ninety percent of the nations on Earth.

We want special consideration from God, without returning special consideration to God. And it doesn't work that way.

So the Native Americans have special rights and are clamoring for more. Isn't that quite interesting. Let me see the Black Hills which were to stay part of the Sioux reservation under the Great White Father's treaty...oh yeah but that was until gold was discovered in them there hills. And certainly White Sands was an equivalent to where the apache and other tribes were from when they were relocated. And certainly the Cherokee have always clamored for special rights after being relocated to Oklahoma. Yes the bad ole' Cherokee who mixed blood early in the process when in North Carolina and Georgia. Such bad indians clamoring.

Do you think the American sheeple are finally seeing the light of what a sick perverted traitor we had as a President? He talks about payback ? I would hate to be in his shoes to receive his just pay back which is called the law of reciprocaticy (sp?). This law is accepted and preached in " all religions". It will be very interesting to watch.

Let's also have some honesty that many blacks were sold into slavery by other blacks in Africa. Come to think of it...gee Mr. Clinton you piece of puke, slavery existed before the good ole' US existed. Ohhh my there's a non-revisionist history for you.

At the end of his speech, Mr. Clinton — who was impeached for lying under oath about a sexual relationship with a 21-year-old White House intern — said the entire issue revolves around "the nature of truth."

"This battle fundamentally is about what you think about the nature of truth," he said, noting that God has imposed on us the inability to ever know "the whole truth."

And we all know what Bill thinks of the truth. Does he ever listen to what he says?

He didn't say anything like that. Somehow you turn an argument against special privileges for people of marginal Indian descent into saying "we" (who?) should pay higher taxes and not be able to own businesses. Kinda makes me wonder what drugs you are on.

As for the "idiot" remark, what part of "NO personal attacks" don't you understand?

As a Native American, Indians do not want any special rights. We only insist that all treaties be observed. The Constitution specifically states that Congress may make treaties with Indian nations. Words have meaning and their are consequence if they are violated, since they were sworn under the auspices of the Creator.

So, we can infer from the dirtbag's statement that he approves and enabled the attacks. Since we have "atoned" for our past behavior, the next attacks (and, of course, therewill be some) will be gratuitous. If they hit your tax-payer funded Harlem office, Billy-boy, will that be payback, too? Did your wag-the-dog missile strikes p**s Osama off?

It is entirely possible that what is eating Bill's brain are spirochetes.

Is this the same guy who used missiles on civilian targets in Serbia, and the Sudan, to try and distract us from a personal problem he was having?
