THE PRESIDENT IN THE ATTIC--WHO IS BILL CLINTON?

REASON Magazine* May, 1999

 

--a senator to Henry Hyde

 

 

It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope.

We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,

and listen to the song of that siren

till she transforms us into beasts.

Is this the part of wise men,

engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?

Are we disposed to be the number of those

who, having eyes, see not,

and having ears, hear not,

the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost,

I am willing to know the whole truth;

to know the worst, and to provide for it.

-----------------Patrick Henry

 

In a dark time, the eye begins to see.

----------------- Theodore Roethke

 

But even as Clinton fails to grasp the scandal's metabolism

he understands all too well its most significant byproduct.

You can see it in his eyes.

 

Once reflecting a Machiavellian confidence,

they now dart back and forth reflexively,

searching futilely for approval,

attempting desperately to dispel his own certain knowledge

that his moral authority is gone. . .

forever

None had the 'time' or the inclination to dump the Clintons maybe because Washington, DC is truly the cesspool of the world. They have seen like crimes for years? They've become so hardened to the fact that many of their colleagues like Ted Kennedy have behaved in the Clinton manner for years and they of course knew Clinton's history before he ever came to Washington. The Clinton persona is pervasive in political circles around the world.

There are a few good men and women in politics but for the most part statesmen as America once knew them, are not on the scene today. The filth of the Clinton years has finally disclosed how far the politicians have fallen from an already precarious perch.

Are We The People any better for letting such un-principled servants run the country? I think we had better start bailing before the ship really sinks and we can start with the petty political hacks like Jessie Jackson not paying his fare share in taxes and PETA retaining a tax exempt status and all those like them; we had better stand shoulder to shoulder and loudly declare through the voice of the land, i.e. news papers and media and tons of mail to our elected that We've Had It with Washington and Politics as usual, Political Correctness and all the blooming rhetoric you get during an election year. You have to ask...who is the fool here? Well, I am not and I am going to try to do something about it!
