Hell Freezes Over!
by Minority Mike
Great balls o’ fire! Katy bar the door! An’ shut my mouth wide open! I ain’t been this stunned since Biggun Stump said he couldn’t go fishing with me one weekend ‘cause he was going to a Meryl Streep film festival! My head is spinnin’ fer sure. The reason for my bewilderment is that one of the foulest bunch of socialist organizations known to man, and one of the foulest socialist men known to any organization, issued a couple of statements the other day that actually ring true! Believe it or not – an’ I know how hard it is to believe – The American Civil Liberties Union and the treasonous bastard formally known as President Clinton both said some things that contain facts! Astoundin’ ain’t it? Hell it’s damn near extraterrestrial! I know y’all find it hard to swallow, but just look here what these droopers had to say.
THE ACLU – In case you missed it, John Ashcroft and his so-called Justice Department set fire to the Constitution the other day and the first piece of it to fall to the floor in ashes was the Sixth Amendment. Your right to private counsel is now just so much dust thanks to a counselor who did it in private! Ashcroft – such a fitting name – has declared that the Feds will now be allowed to listen in on conversations between people held in federal custody and their attorneys. This includes people who have not only not been arrested, but those who haven’t even been charged with anything! John Law and his pals only need to "detain" you should they alone deem it necessary to prevent violence or terrorism! By law, the Feds can now "detain" you forever should they happen to label you a suspected terrorist! To their credit – and I can’t believe I’m writing this – The ACLU spoke out in dissent! Laura Murphy, the ACLU’s Washington office director said, "The idea that this could be happening to innocent people is really disturbing. A lawyer’s effectiveness can be dramatically diminished if the government is listening in, making a client fearful of disclosing all that the attorney needs to know to mount a forceful defense." In an example of incredible understatement, Murphy described Ashcroft’s action as "a terrifying precedent."
If you think this outrageous rape of the Constitution only applies to criminals you are criminally mistaken. This applies to anyone the Feds wish to "detain." Got an NRA sticker on your vehicle? Belong to a militia? Feel like booing the next fork-tongued politician that comes to town? Want to pray before kickoff at the next high-school football game? Are you one of the firemen who jeered Hillary off the stage? Do you reserve your God-given-Constitutionally-affirmed-payed-for-with-the-blood-of-patriots right to dissent from the agenda of the monster known as the federal government? Then I’ll be seeing you in detention soon because brother, that’s where those of us who love our country but fear our government, are heading.
The ACLU has issued a mountain of crapspeak in the past, but I’ve got to take my hat off to them on this one. For once they got it right.
BILL CLINTON – The treasonous former President and Pervert-In-Chief spoke to about a 1000 dim-witted Hillary Youth at Georgetown University the other day and inadvertently told a little bit of truth! I’d never heard Billy Jeff speak the truth before so you may be able to understand my confusion when I read the following statements attributed to the man who makes Benedict Arnold look like Yankee Doodle.
"...If you live in a country where you’re never required to take responsibility for yourself, where you never even have to ask whether there’s something you should be doing to solve your own problems, then people are kept in kind of a permanent state of collective immaturity and it becomes quite easy for them to believe that someone else’s success is the cause of their distress."
Truer words were never spoken and brother, Bill Clinton ought to know. This disgusting piece of walking sewage has spent his entire life working for the rise to power of the irresponsible and collectively immature. For a guy whose credo seems to be "The Big Boys Made Me Do It," this is an astounding piece of self-analysis. Concerning the freezing of terrorists bank accounts, the man who doesn’t know what color he is had this to say:
"We need to strengthen our capacity to chase the money and get it, and we need some legislation on that."
Words of wisdom from a ruthless tyrant who knows all there is to know about chasing money. If Bill had ever uttered the words, The Buck Stops Here, he wouldn’t have been talking about responsibility, he would have been talking about the buck. I’m confused about the legislation part though. Bill rarely bothered with legislation while he was busy destroying the country. Executive orders were more his style.
So there you have it. Truthful statements from folks who think truth is a four-letter word.
Next thing ya know Morris Dees will be joinin’ The League of the South and Jesse Jackson will get a job that doesn’t involve extortion. No doubt about it, Hell has frozen over!
Y’all take care now, hear?

I get asked all the time: “How do I get on this bump list?” Well the answer is you can’t! The FreeRepublic Master Bump List is not a list of people who get notified about a topic appearing on FreeRepublic but it is a list of topics that you can click on and have posts relevant to those topics displayed to you. There are many topics like “WOD_list” (War On Drugs) or “Homeschool_list” (Stories that Homeschoolers may be interested in) or “Homosexual Agenda” (A list of articles related to that topic). And they all appear on the The FreeRepublic Bump List
When you are reading an article you can add it to the list by posting a reply to that topic and in the “TO” box put the name of the list you want it to appear on preceded by an “*”. For example if you want the article to appear on the War on Drugs list then put “*WOD_list” in the “TO:” box instead of someones screen name. You can also put it on several lists by separating the list names with a simi-colon “;”. Then when you want to see the list go to The FreeRepublic Master Bump List and click on the link for that list.
Uh oh. Been pursuing extra-curricular activities lately? LOL
I say, since we are so busy changing things, that some things are too important for congress or the government to decide. I say that such radical changes, such as, immigration, abortion, treaties such as GAT and NAFTA, the Terrorist Bill, and all listed in this article, must be taken out of the hands of goverment, and placed in the hands of citizens by popular vote, up or down on an issue.
This is really the only way to bring government to heel and make it more subject to the will of the people, and the only way to bring accountability and insure that the reins of power are always in the hands of the governed.
