News/Current Events KEYWORDS: 10 BUBBA Navigation: use the links below to view more comments. Just as CNN and all the other major news media will treat this one, much to my chagrin. How can this crap be overlooked while Lott is decried from the highest towers? This individual never hesitates to slander a Republican. I would appreciate any assistance you might be able to offer is forming a rational response. The letter I received is below: I have a file copy of a letter that I wrote some time back, praising and defending Bill Clinton, and I do not hesitate to send it, in reply to anyone who criticizes Clinton, especially when they do it to irritate me! He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in most places, and vastly reduced welfare roles. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades, and actually achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination. But he was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for his actions and he continues to this day, to have unprecedented popular approval ratings for his job as president. In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-torn Bosnia; He bombed Iraq, when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evidence of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He became a global proponent for an expanded NATO, more open international trade, and a worldwide campaign against drug trafficking. Under Clinton's leadership, the United States was able to reduce military spending, since we did not need a large military. Peace was achieved through diplomacy instead of threats and a huge arms buildup. Clinton's flights abroad kept the United States at the forefront as a peacemaker and as an effective negotiator. Under this present administration, our "excess tax money " has recently been "returned" to our nation's wealthiest citizens. Our present unsound fiscal policy should be a wonderful gift to our grandchildren. Our hopes for eliminating the national debt were dashed with the election of Bush, who at once set out to cut taxes for the wealthy, and increase military spending to an unbelievable record level. It seems that the old method of diplomacy to achieve peace, has now been replaced with a philosophy of superior military power, as a means for enforcing this nation's policy as defined by the president. This aggressive policy has alienated many of our allies, who now consider the USA as a country that threatens world peace, under the guise of fighting terrorism. Not only have our foreign relationships suffered serious decline under Bush, but our National economy continues to deteriorate, as unemployment, bankruptcies, foreclosures, and Corporate Insecurity are constantly a major national problem. World peace is now in jeopardy, as threatened by the global goals of George W. As recent events would now confirm it would appear that a good share of the so-called unprecedented economic performance was due to widespread financial reporting fraud that occurred under Clintoon's watch, and was discovered under W's. As a former federal employee I can attest to the fact that virtually every government agency fudges their books and reports, and as most government employees vote for the RATS, it does not stretch credulity to believe they would fudge certain vital statistical data to enhance their boss's agenda. BTW, in a 1991 graduate finance class I predicted the future economic performance would be driven by political manipulation, not actual performance. Not by my superior knowledge of finance, economics, or accounting, but by my knowledge of democrats and government employees. The Senate did not find him not-guilty of the charges as the impeachment wasn't a set of charges but rather a conclusion based on the charges the Senate failed to even hear. The Senate's job was not to determine guilt or innocence but to decide to remove or retain the employee - they chose to keep him. He remains impeached, and it is really a fun tweak to call to him as "the impeached former president" whenever referring to him in conversation with liberals. I wish that I could help you, but I feel that it will take cold hard facts to refute the person of whom you speak. I am on your side, it's just that I am not the person to ask. I hope that someone comes along who can help, because I would really like for a Clinton-lover to be shut up. Somehow, I don't think that you will have much luck talking with this moron. I regularly send items like this to Brit Hume and to Fox & Friends. They don't seem to be afraid to do the politically incorrect thing and expose this type of thing to a broader audience. In his global quest for campaign cash, for a paltry $100,000 clinton permitted his friend at Loral corp to sell technology to the Chinese that enabled them to add MIRV capabilities to their ICBM's under development. On their own, the Chinese might have spent 10 to 20 years perfecting such capabilities. Due to clinton's greed, our advantage from literally trillions of dollars spent in missile development over 50 years were wiped out in an afternoon for a lousy hundred grand donation. Tell your friend, thanks to his vote, his great grandchildren will be paying to buy back that advantage. More Black men were put in jail under President Clinton than under Presidents Reagan and Bush (43) combined. President Clinton ended the welfare program that Black leaders vociferously argued was necessary to keep a firm safety net in place. And when the talk of "mending" affirmative action arose; Recessions have occurred at roughly ten year intervals as marked on the graph (1958, 1970, 1975, 1982, 1992). At the same time he , he reduced the military by 600,000 personnel and increased operational use of the military. By 1999 the Clinton administration had undertaken a record-setting 48 peace enforcement and combat missions. It was a phony peace which is now beginning to be evident. Five FBI agents working full time on Islamic terrorism after OKC was criminal dereliction of duty. We are not far from seeing the definite proof of the Iraqi connection at OKC. Any CEO of a Fortune 500 company could have run the economy -- we didn't need a rapist criminal to do it. We didn't need a guy who allowed our missile secrets to be sold to the ChiComs and then accepted a bribe from Bernie Schwartz to keep him out of prison. If Clinton was the only Democrat who could have presided over an economy that was on the upswing in George Bush's last two quarters, then the Democrat Party should never again nominate a presidential candidate. As we have seen with the failure of the dot coms, much of the economy was smoke and mirrors. George Bush is picking up the pieces of the disaster and going after the cheating execs. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in most places, and vastly reduced welfare roles. Thanks largely to the beginning of a long-term economic growth cycled, created by the economic policies of Ronald Reagan, we reaped economic benefits because when people keep more of their own money they start businesses and employ people. Shorter depreciation causes businesses to invest in capital equipment, giving jobs to those who manufacture the equipment, those providing raw materials, and everyone in the distribution of the equipment. The crime rate dropped because of actions such as "Three Strikes" in California. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades, and actually achieved a budget surplus. The budget would have been balanced much earlier had the Democrats given what Republican presidents have wanted for a long time -- a line item veto. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination. Check out the 1989 lawsuit by black legisla...
