Now, World Net Daily, a.k.a. Joe Farrah, doesn’t like President Clinton. Therefore, the writings in World Net Daily reflects this even though he may deny his bias affects what he decides to publish or not publish.
President Clinton has done no more wrong than any president of recent history and, in fact, when compared to others, has done far less wrong. If, for example, Reagan and Bush had been as fully investigated by independent investigators during the Contra affair as Clinton was by Starr, it is highly likely the American public would have had the truth, rather than being subjected to another cover-up by our government and the media.
True, Mr. Clinton did receive oral sex from an intern and did lie about the act under oath. But, if the evidence being received from former CIA agents is correct, both Reagan and Bush lied under oath about far more serious matters, that of selling drugs to Los Angeles citizens and having full knowledge of the Contra affair.
Every congressman now standing behind national ID’s, directly taxing citizens on their incomes, social security fraud by the government, and gun control laws are all violating their oaths of office. Each has taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, not to increase the power of the United States (which applies only to the District of Columbia; in other words, only to the federal government and its holdings, Guam, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, to name a few).
The problems we citizens face don’t exist because of Clinton. The problem is, in part, with the fact that the federal government has far exceeded its limitations and is removing rights and liberties of the citizens, the rights and liberties they all swore under oath to protect. In fact, major problems (far exceeding Clinton and his women) started three to four decades before Clinton was born.
Problems also lie with the fact that members of Congress are bought and controlled by big business interests. The liberties of citizens and Constitutional provisions take a back seat to this when it comes to government satisfying their greed.
Other problems lie in the fact that the two controlling parties don’t want to limit government but want to increase its power over the citizenry. It wouldn’t matter if Joe Blow was president; the government would still be pushing for this. Any rhetoric to the contrary is just that - rhetoric.
Many of the problems cited as being caused by Clinton actually began during Reagan years, continued during the Bush years, and, under Clinton, still go on. Of course, this refers to China. But, Clinton didn’t start them anymore than Nixon started the Viet Nam war. And, yet, it was called “Nixon’s War” by media people and enemies of Nixon, whether they were Democrat or Republican.
As for Nixon and Watergate, I didn’t know anyone who believed that both parties weren’t doing the same thing or that Nixon should have resigned. I supported Nixon during Watergate as I didn’t think his resignation would help this country. Needless to say, since the FBI has files on so many politicians, isn’t it rather obvious that surveillance without permission or court order is rather common place (including on private citizens)?
During the 70’s and 80’s, we were arming other countries which later became enemies, including Iran and Iraq. Did Clinton start it or have anything to do with it? No, but Republican leadership did. And, to put it simply, we were trying to buy the support of
nations.
I will state this. I don’t support support any president belonging to either of the major parties and will not. It doesn’t really matter which party a president comes from since,
when you get right down to it, it is virtually impossible to separate one from the other. Both parties behave following the philosophies of the Federalist Party during the implementation
of our Constitution.
I also believe nearly all the above problems relate to the practice of terms of congressmen not being limited. And, why aren’t they since the highest office in the land is limited. After all, anything that Congress wants, Congress can get regardless of any person who happens to be president. Besides - do you really think members of Congress who have been around since dirt can truly relate to the common man and his problems? To the public in general?
Limited government as a goal is pure hogwash when coming from members of either party. One, or even a few can say it is the party’s intent as often as they wish but the only thing that counts is what is enacted. So far, through the two parties, all that has been done is increasing the power of the parties, the power of the federal government, and distorting or removing rights and liberties of citizens.
Unconstitutional and fraudulent measures are used as is misapplication of IRS and Social Security codes. Privacy rights have been affected more by Republicans in power prior to Mr. Clinton’s administration than they have by Mr. Clinton during his administration.
Distortion of the Second Amendment has been done by both parties and, of late, has been the goal of the Republican Party more than the Democrat. Realize, however, that the Democrats has the same goal. Totalitarianism depends on control of arms being totally in the hands of government.
So, why focus just on the President? Doing so is journalism at its worst. The problems with our constitutional liberties will not be solved by doing so, nor will we earn the respect of other nations. And, for certain, it will not earn the respect of thinking Americans who can see past biased reporting.
I am for freedom of speech but journalists reporting the news also have a responsibility to the public, to present news in an accurate, unbiased manner. I don’t care what a reporter thinks; I only care that I am receiving facts without the personal bias of some person that I usually find later on is bigoted and quite used to lying.
Opinionated editorials are fine - as long as the other side is also presented. And, of course, as long as both are based on facts. If not based on facts, then, of course, we must
discount them as being ramblings of a distorted, prejudiced thinker. And, the media is full of those.
Why? Well, the answer to that is simple - sensationalism and hate, whether factaul or not, sell.
