Somehow, they have gotten off track. Was it just a
bad day? An urge to be politically correct? Or have they
been sucked in to that vacuum created by the Democrats
flying at Warp Factor 9 headed to leftist land? You decide.
Unequal Justice Around Law
Friday, February 9, 2001 7:00 p.m.
Days before independent counsel Robert Ray
yanked the eject lever on the Clinton escape pod, Sen.
Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Newt Gingrich, and John Kasich were
on the airways. Like the Olivia Newton-John song "I Honestly
Love You," I honestly love these three who have served
America well.
However, "Orrin Newt-and-John" did the big
180 as all three sang sweet songs of pushing a pardon
for the Most Famous Felon.
But why? Perhaps it was an urge to join
the kumbaya kooksthe "trade principles for traction"
troupewho believe throwing the Dems a bone gain
you firmer footing in moving the Republican agenda forward.
We all want our president to have a good
working relationship but these three should know the outcome
of extending olive branches to leftists. They are grabbed,
whittled razor sharp, then chugged back to where they
came from as the conservatives run for cover. Orrin Newt-and-John,
you guys are veterans! You don't know the game yet?
Or, was it is possible these three were
told the Ray deal was coming and they were asked to send
up trial balloons to ease the future shock of decent Americans?
Why did Orrin Newt-and-John, who have served
their country so honorably, denigrate justice and equality?
Why complain about Marc Rich being pardoned because he
"never even served any time" if you did not want Slick
to even be prosecuted? Why?
Bill Bennett was right. Where is the outrage?
Not with these three.
I saw outrage firsthand in November from
the commoners. I walked among young children coloring
signs for a rally saying "we love George Bush" and "Al
Gore is a liar." I talked to their parents who took off
work and were willing to march on Washington to prevent
Gore from overthrowing the next government-elect. Why
can't these three have the same outrage that their constituents
have when it comes to justice and Bill Clinton?
Another possibility is Orrin Newt-and-John
bought the bogus belief that world stability would crumble
if the ex-leader of the free world was seen by all not
to be free but sitting on a concrete slab in jail.
Isn't that a great safety valve for all
future Clintonites. Trash the laws and commit felonies
yet Senators will not convict you while you are in office.
"Wait till he leaves office," they say. Then when you
do leave office, they suggest you be pardoned! With this
perverted thought process, elected leaders won't let any
president ever be held accountable for crimes. It presents
a bad "image" to the rest of the world.
Image! It's all about image.
On George W. Bush's inaugural day, in typical
crass Clintonian style, Slick shamelessly reviewed the
military troops at Andrews, deftly holding back smirks
for the cameras as he walked by these men of honor. When
a grin did breakout from thinking of his pardon, he thought,
"if Reagan was the 'Teflon President' then I am axle grease
laced with WD-40."
Orrin Newt-and-John helped draw the blueprints
for continued future corruption. Do anything and everything
while in office and your golden parachute is a combo box
of million dollar speaker circuit fees wrapped with a
non-pardon pardon.
The Statue of Liberty was restored between
1984 and 1986 including replacing some iron ribs with
stainless steel so that this symbol of enlightenment would
stand for many years to come. Concurrent action by Clinton
involved revving up corruption in Arkansas to maximum
RPMs.
In 1998, some granite and marble stones
in the Washington Monument were restored. As proud craftsmen
painstakingly restored that symbol of our nation, Clinton
was having a felonious good o'l time but the Senate did
not have the backbone to squash his corruption. Just ask
David Schippers.
Granite.
Marble.
Stainless steel.
Materials of strength are used so our most
precious symbols can endure for decades to come. Our values,
laws, and our proud history do not need that type of restoration
these structures received as written words do not succumb
to corrosive elements.
Yet, our most precious words now rotnot
from the elementsfrom the spit of Bill Clinton.
Stop the mockery in our courts! That precious
oath should be changed to, "Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, even though
you don't need God's help?" Slick did not need to fear
God if he had no need to fear the Senate. And if it is
OK for Slick to commit perjury, why threaten the common
folk?
Orrin Newt-and-John, grab those three chairs.
We are headed over to the U.S. Supreme Court. . . . OK,
fine. Now sit down. Slick has some free time nowadays
and he is up there on the architrave, with a jackhammer,
where the "Equal Justice Under Law" isor was. After
all, you did not want equal justice. If you are more into
adding than subtracting, then go have him engrave "Unequal
Justice Around Law." Another Clinton legacy.
Or, was it the image thing? Is image more
important to you than "all men are created equal"? Slick
is our equal. Abe Lincoln said so. Now don't tell me you
three scratched off Lincoln's words from that old document,
did you?
Go ahead, Abe. I know you have to turn.
