WHO'S GOT THE BALLS - BILL CLINTON OR CHRIS MATTHEWS?
Chris Matthews is getting so conservative they're going to have to start putting Rush Limbaugh on their pannel. Their explanation for all the protests and violence in the Mideast now is saying "They really don't hate America. They love America and envy us and want to come here. The people they're really mad at are their own repressive governments but they know they'll be killed if they protest them so they do the next best thing and protest Us". If any of this is true then how come they don't praist their own government in Iraq and praise the United States for getting rid of Saddam Hussein and letting democracy flurish? Congaliza Rice says she believes in the best in human nature and that the world yearns to be free. This piece on Sixty Minutes was another of those stock puff pieces. But Chris Matthews went on to attack Bill Clinton. He attacked him because the people of the world loved him and praised his actions. They went on to say on that show, "Bill Clinton has it easy. He doesn't know what it's like. He's not the President and doesn't have to bear all that responsability. He can take the easy road". These people seem to forget that Bill Clinton actually was president for eight years. Bill Clinton the next morning took on FOX news. He wasn't going to let that interviewer stand his ground. As Randy Rhodes put it- - he knew he was in for a personal attack and stood armed and ready to defend himself. "You people have two sets of questions. One for me and one for the rest of your conservative friends". Clinton soundly and surely laid to rest all this speculation about how his adminestration was soft on terrorism. I would want Bill Clinton defending me if I were ever accused unjustly, as Christians like to do by inference a lot of the time with me.
The Elderados and the rest of the right have undergone a complete credibility melt-down. If you look at the straight facts the democrats stack up better every time. When Clinton was going after Bin Laden in 1998 everyone called it "Monica's War" and "Wag the Dog". When the Cole was bombed in late 2000 Bill Clinton had in place plans to go after Bin Laden. Bush scrapped those plans and didn't want to hear about terrirism. He referred to going after these people as "Swatting flies". As you Woodward fans know, all George Bush cared about from day one is going to war in Iraq. Iraq was a constant obcession of this president. After "Black Hawk Down" it was actually Republicans in the house of representatives that pounded the plodium and demanded that we withdraw our troops from Samalia. Rush referred to the opperation as "Meals on Wheels" and said the only real purpose of the military was to kill people and smash things. Larry Elder has attacked our presence both in Kosevo and Bosnia, and also in Sudan, should we decide to go there to prevent genocide. According to Larry Elder the perpous of war isn't to promote humanitarian goals. (I guess it's to burn villages and rape and kill women and children like we did in Viet Nam) Two prominent people were either fired or demoted who were anti terror experts in the Clinton Adminestration. One of them was formerly knows as the terrorism tzar. The Democrats are reminding us now that if we had stayed in Afghanistan we would have captured Bin Laden within the year. Some have charged that the republicans "space" the release of key news events to when they need a sudden boost in the polls. These people keep saying Bush is up in the polls. With Chris Matthews, Sixty Minutes, and ABC with their movie singing the Republicans praises, stranger things have happened. If they want to pull a massive recessitation job on the Bush adminestration they'll have to live with it.
I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that in the latest StarTrek movie a bunch of our side went to war against a neighboring planet. But the enemy had some frightful new device that just melted people and ships like wax. But they wanted to keep their weapon secret lest we find out about it and perhaps steal it and investigate it and find out how it works. So what they did was convince the world that Star Fleet's excellent Captains had suddenly screwed up making a lot of stupid and blunderous military decisions thus tarnishing their reputations now that they were dead. In this way the truth was hidden from us. But for some reason I came out of the theater thinking "Maybe that wasn't the REAL Star Trek movie that we came to see but some kind of givernment knock-off, showing us what they wanted us to see".
I don't "Have it in for the Bush Adminestration". I'd like to see them do something smart for once. But at the same time I am "evolving" on other issues. According to a program today- - the middle class has only rarely been a major factor in world civilization history. Those times that the middle class has been a major factor, society had advanced culturally. The goal of conservatives beginning with Reagan is to return the middle class we have had in this country back more to a status of continuing poverty. Allan Greenspan has admitted that his goal is to see the unemployment rate as high as possible. These conservatives "historically" according to Al Frankin, have been against Social Mobility. These people are "undeserving" in the eyes of the rich. Classic conservatives believe in semi rigid classes of rich and poor. Various Democratic Presidents have tried to level the playing field so that the little guy gets a chance but now it's a rigged crap game. The goal of federal money managers is always to keep the worker insecure in his job and drive down the wage base and to maximize corporate profits. On the subject of the City of New Orleans there are people like the mayer who want to keep New Orleans a "chocolate city". It's amazing how whites are intimidated by that phrase. But what do rich whites want to do? They say the storm did everyone a favor and now they can clear out the ghettos and put up fancy developments for the rich to boost the tax base. Meanwhile places like Houston may not be as tollerant of Blacks as was their native crascent city. Changing subjects again, there is some government study that says cars should get forty miles to the gallon on the highway and how this would go a long way to solving our energy problems. As to the vanishing Polar Bear due to a diminished winter hunting season, I imagine Rush Limbaugh might just way "Well, the Polar Bear like the rest of us is just going to have to evolve like the rest of nature- - and adjust its habbits to today's Realities". That's what the American worker needs to do. He has to "adjust" himself to the reality of not affording things that his parents had afforded when they were his age. We'll just see if things can't work out better than that.
