This is why I respect President Bush as much as I do. He tells it like it is. No matter whether you agree with him or his policies, you can always count on him standing by his word. In Washington, these days, that’s a rare guarantee to get. A big problem with Clinton is that you never really know what you’ll get, because he’s always testing the water before he commits himself. Maybe you agree with him today, but if he gets wind of a poll stating the opposite, he’ll flip faster than a truck stop pancake.

Back to President Bush. The Chixie Dicks once again proved what immature asses they are on television last night. Today, I read that Bush has made a comment regarding the Chicks, and instead of trying to argue it in my own words, I’m going to use Bush’s words, as they are exactly on point with my feelings.

Of the singing Texas trio, who have been outspoken critics of the U.S.-led war, Bush said, “The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind.”

At the same time, Bush added: “They shouldn’t have their feelings hurt just because some people don’t want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street.”

and this, my friends, is what leaders are made of.

The head of the National Organization for Women’s Morris County chapter is opposing a double-murder charge in the Laci Peterson case, saying it could provide ammunition to the pro-life lobby.

“If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder,” Morris County NOW President Mavra Stark said on Saturday.

Give me a total break. First of all, the two bodies were found in different locations. How do you consider a child found a quarter of a mile from his mother to be unborn?

If we even granted you an argument that the baby was delivered after the murder of the mother, it is completely asinine and inapproriate to make such a public statement shortly after such a tragedy. Ms. Stark, you and your feminazis are so damn repugnant, you can only focus on your pro-abortion agenda and nothing else.

Why do you call it pro-choice anyway? Call it what it is, “pro-abortion”. It’s not like you’re out protesting for adoption or foster care options…. no, you stake your whole argument on the timeframe which allows the killing of a child.

In the Democratic Party’s own platform, it says, “The Democratic Party stands behind the right of every woman to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of ability to pay. We believe it is a fundamental constitutional liberty that individual Americans - not government - can best take responsibility for making the most difficult and intensely personal decisions regarding reproduction. Our goal is to make abortion less necessary and more rare, not more difficult and more dangerous.

First of all, conservatives do not argue the government has a right to interfere with personal choices, unless it involved the protection of a person. Just like the government has the right to step in and prevent the murder or punish someone for the murder of an adult, so too should they for children. No, you’ve come to realize your argument is a tough one to defend, but on principle you tread forward. It helps you to call it “choice” instead of “abortion”, or “fetus” instead of “baby”. It’s funny, because when someone tells me they’re pregnant, I tell them “congratulations”…. whether two weeks or nine months into it. Why do we say congrats to someone who is a few weeks pregnant? Because we understand that with the exception of an accident, act of nature or intentional termination of the process, a human will result. We know it’s not going to be a carrot, or a tomato, or a rabbit. We know, from the moment of conception, that nature’s course will continue to develop the child created at conception. You don’t hear people walking around congratulating pregnant women on that “small mass of tissues implanted in your body”…. but for your abortion arguments, that just what you call it, and it helps you sleep at night. (by the way, when was the last time you heard of a tumor, or a mole, or a gallstone growing into a baby?)

(by the way, the Constitution says “all MEN are created equal”, so in your literal world of calling it a ‘fetus’ instead of a ‘baby’, we could just as well say the equality clause of the Consitution doesn’t apply to you or the women you represent…. semantics can be a bitch, no pun intended)

In addition, you try to define a “baby” as one that is “capable of supporting itself outside the support structure of the mother”…. what about newborns who nurse? They are completely dependent on the mother and would not survive without the mother (or someone to help)…..something to think about…

Bringing up the abortion issue in this murder case was the dumbest thing you could’ve done for your cause. It shows your one-sidedness. It shows your selfishness. It shows your hypocrisy.

I just have one question to ask you Ms. Stark, when you’re sitting around a warm, cozy fire this December with your family enjoying Christmas, remember an unwed mother many years ago, subject to ridicule, wondering what would become of the mass of tissues inside her and ask yourself…..

What if Mary had been pro-choice?

NEW YORK (AFP) - Former US President Bill Clinton blasted US foreign policy adopted in the wake of the September 11 attacks, arguing the United States cannot kill, jail or occupy all of its adversaries.

“Our paradigm now seems to be: something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us,” said Clinton, who spoke at a seminar of governance organized by Conference Board.

“And if they don’t, they can go straight to hell.”

The Democratic former president, who preceded George W. Bush at the White House, said that sooner or later the United States had to find a way to cooperate with the world at large.

“We can’t run,” Clinton pointed out. “If you got an interdependent world, and you cannot kill, jail or occupy all your adversaries, sooner or later you have to make a deal.”

He said he believed Washington overreacted to German and French opposition to US plans for military action against Iraq and suggested that the current administration had trouble juggling foreign and domestic issues.

“Since September 11, it looks like we can’t hold two guns at the same time,” Clinton said. “If you fight terrorism, you can’t make America a better place to be.”

When I finish laughing at this joke of a man, I will address each of his comments individually. I mean, what an ass. First he ignores a longstanding tradition of former presidents critizing the current administration. Sure, it’s just a tradition, but ignoring it in wholesale fashion shows what kind of person this is.

Now, onto his comments.

“something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us”

Well, yeah. When it comes to terrorism and threats of societal destruction, mainly our own, it does give us a right to tell others they’re with us or with the terrorists. Do you notice how Clinton trivializes 9/11….’sure it was bad, I feel your pain, but if anyone in the world disagrees with us we should be the first to give in and appease… how dare we ask others to hold themselves to a higher standard’….

Hell, afterall, this is the president that was held to no standard whatsoever.

“If you got an interdependent world, and you cannot kill, jail or occupy all your adversaries, sooner or later you have to make a deal.”

So let me get this straight. Clinton is proposing that at some point we need to make a deal with the terrorists. Interesting. Of course, this is coming from a man who sold nuclear secrets to the Chinese in exchange for campaign donations. He’s suggesting that we give in to the demands of the terrorists at some point in the hopes that will stop the assault on American interests. He’s saying a payoff is in order. ‘give them what they want and they’ll leave us alone’….. you ignorant, draft-dodging coward.

“He said he believed Washington overreacted to German and French opposition to US plans for military action against Iraq and suggested that the current administration had trouble juggling foreign and domestic issues.”

Of course he thinks we overreacted to the German and French. This is the guy who said it was “just about sex” when he lied to the American population, destroyed and hid evidence and lied under oath. Anything can be whittled down to a “simple misunderstanding” with a guy who can parse the meaning of the word “is”. I also think it’s ironic he says this in light of the evidence our soldiers have found in Iraq regarding Germany and France’s deals with Saddam in violation of international law and at a detriment to our troops. He hates the U.S. military and supports any method to get rid of it, legally or not.

With respect to juggling foreign and domestic issues, I damn near choked on my Dr. Pepper when I read this. Clinton is the guy who rode the wave of a good economy without having to put much effort into it, and STILL managed to enjoy the massacre in Mogadishu, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, the rise of Osama bin laden and failure to capture him when foreign governments offered him to the U.S. on a silver platter THREE TIMES, the proliferation of al Qaeda worldwide, the continued assault on Israel and last, but not least, years and years of corporate scandal involving Enron, Global Crossing, Tyco, etc. Please explain to me how Clinton did squat either foreign or domestically.

Mr. Clinton, you are an absolute shame to this country. You side with the appeasers of this world who would give anybody their asking price and call it “foreign relations”. You side with the war protestors of the war on Iraq who DID give aid and comfort to Saddam. You carry yourself like those who faded into history as nothing more than a footnote. If it weren’t for your obnoxious, self-serving, loathsome and disgusting need for publicity, you too would be shelved away somewhere in the annals of American history as a man who stood for nothing, wanted everything and in the end left a legacy of deceit, corruption, terror and shame.

Don’t go away mad, Clinton…. just go the f— away!!!
