Subject: Never Again!

Bethlehem, PA - Editorial

In another ninety-five days a new President will be sworn in as the
forty-third President of the United States, thus ending the most
disgraceful and scandal-ridden Presidency of the past two hundred and
twenty-four
years of our nation. This gives cause for a celebration and a reflection
upon things that I never, ever again will have to be witness to.
For those West Point, Naval Academy and Air Force Academy friends of
mine, I recognize the pain that you in particular have endured these past
eight years with this loathsome Commander-In-Chief in the White House.
To my honest, hard working friends and family members who value honesty and
integrity among our elected officials, you have endured more than United
States citizens should ever have to endure.

But alas, in ninety-six days, the thoroughly disgusting and shameful
occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will be cast aside and hopefully
forgotten by the nation that he has so terribly dishonored.

In order to celebrate his upcoming departure I have drafted the
following piece which I have appropriately entitled, "Never Again."

Never Again

Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton walk down the steps of Air
Force One while a proud Marine in full dress uniform crisply salutes him.
A Marine who fully comprehends duty, honor and country in a way that the
man he is saluting never will.

Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton on Veterans' Day place a
wreath on the hallowed Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while he dramatically
bites his lower lip in an effort to appear that he cares or even
appreciates what this place is all about. A place where truly brave men and
women
who personally paid the ultimate price for freedom are forever remembered.

Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton on national television wag
his finger at each and every American and unconscionably lie to us.

Never again will I have to witness Bill Clinton sending young men and
women of the military into frivolous but life-threatening action to deflect
attention from the personal scandals that confront him at home.

Never again will I see Bill Clinton's name on a ballot.

Never again will I be embarrassed by Bill Clinton's disgusting and
abhorrent behavior with a twenty-four year old woman in the Oval Office.

Never again will Bill Clinton have the power to conduct an eight year
"social experiment" with the United States Armed Forces, driving the best
out while systematically crippling the overall capability, effectiveness
and morale of the remaining troops.

Never again will I have to be embarrassed to say Bill Clinton represents
me, a proud citizen of the United States of America.

Never again will Bill Clinton be able to sell the historic Lincoln
bedroom to the highest bidder, the Chinese, felons, and other disreputable
characters.

Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton departing church with
his equally pitiful wife, clutching an oversized Bible in his hand as if to
make us believe that he has repented for any of his misdeeds.

Never again will I have to see a joint session of Congress rise to their
feet in the Capital building when the deceitful and shameless Bill Clinton
enters the chamber.

And finally,

Never again will I have to refer to Bill Clinton as "President of the
United States."

May God Bless America,

You may just have an alcoholic, coke snorting, nasty guard AWOL-for-two-years, slacker, who's proposing to spend half of what Clinton has spent on defense. Sounds like a good trade in the Bizarro world. Then again, I thought these guys were supposed to be president, not Sunday school teachers. No wonder the military is so ********* up if that was an actual "officer" who wrote that little silly diatribe. It's a subliminable world.

AndrewFseries, I like it, I also can't wait to get rid of that loser. As Commander in Chief he should receive a "less than honorable" discharge from the Oval Office.

Kilroy, are you saying that military personnel should be praising what Clinton has done? I read and reread your post and I just could not figure out where you are coming from. I really don't understand where you are coming from about the military being ********* up either, could you explain?

Hmmm... Where shall I begin? Let's see, there was Eisenhower who had his girlfriend. Kennedy had all his girlfriends. Johnson, I don't quite remember. He had a dog that he yanked up by it's ears. Oh yeah, he did good when it came to civil rights. Then came good old Tricky ****y and Spiro Agnew. Both left office in disgrace. Then there was Jimmy Carter. Not much to say about him. Pretty lackluster. Never got into trouble. Only thing is, the country didn't do any better under him. He did get us into deregulation, but I'm not so sure that was all that good for us in the long run. Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Fumbling Ford. How can we forget about him and his substance abusing wife, Betty? Anyway, after Carter, there was Alzheimer Put the Country in Trillion Dollar Dept Raygun. Nobody is gonna tell me he wasn't suffering from the effects of Alzheimers during his last year or two in office. You don't "just" get Altzheimers. It's a progressive disease. Remember in the last couple of years in office how flustered he got when he had to answer questions? Remember overhearing Nancy prompting him with answers? Oh yeah, what about Iran Contra? Can't forget that. Then there was Even More Debt Bush. Like Jimmy Carter, he was a very moral man. Unfortunately, he continued Raygun's spending strategy. Plunging us into even more debt. Oh yeah, great plan, cut the government down by spending more money and creating even more debt. Finally, we come to Clinton. Hmmmm... Suddenly, the national debt stops growing. Then, it starts shrinking. Geeze, more millionaires and billionaires are created in the last 8 years than any other 8 year period prior. What's going on? People are getting filthy rich! This can't be! This guy is immoral. He got caught with his pants down, yet we're making money. Unemployment is down. People are driving gas guzzling $30,000 trucks! Geeze, there's so much money floating around for people to spend on trucks and gasoline and new houses.

Yeah, bring back those days when we had "moral" people in the White House. Bring us back to the days of Raygun and Bush where we'll increase the national debt and we'll be going bankrupt in record numbers again. Oh yeah, I'm excited. The military boys and girls can salute Dubya proudly while the rest of us loose our jobs and quietly go bankrupt again, but hey! Dubya's a moral man. Yeah, Right!

This country does great when there's a Republican controlled Congress and a Democratic Whitehouse. When there's one party controlling both, we don't do well at all.

It will take us 25 years to undo the damage Bush and a Republican Congress will cause in the next 2 years if he wins the election.

Ya know, Republicans call the Democrats "Tax and Spend." Well, the Republicans just spend. Recent history has proven that.

My prediction: If Bush wins, the Democrats will take control of Congress in two years. Al Gore will run for the House and he'll be voted in as Speaker of the House. Bush will become a victim of the "0" curse (Presidents who are elected in years ending in zero get shot/assasinated). Cheney gets his fourth and this time fatal heart attack after jumping for joy because he just became the new President. Guess who then becomes the new President? Al Gore.

Uh, yeah 2000Lariat, I think that's what I said. Let's see...... Under Reagan there was a collision between the USS Cook and USS Mars in which one service member was killed (an officer, too), Reagan also sent a peacekeeping force to Beirut that resulted in the Marine barracks being attacked and blown up, under Reagan the USS Stark was attacked by an Iraqi fired missile resulting in the deaths of 37 crewmen (U.S. response-NOTHING), under Reagan the USS Samuel B. Roberts struck a mine in the Persian Gulf, and Nancy wouldn't wake his old *** up from a nap when Navy fighters mixed it up with Libyans in 1981. Under Bush the USS Iowa suffered a gun explosion in its number two turret which resulted in loss of life, under Bush the USS Conyngham suffered a fire which reulted in loss of life, under Bush the USS White Plains suffered a fire resluting in loss of life, under Bush the USS Dahlgren suffered a fire resulting in loss of life, under Bush the Navy's Tailhook scandal broke, under Bush the U.S. was involved in the misadventures of Kuwait and Iraq which resulted in, get this, Sadaam Hussein still in power and Bush out of a job within two years (what were we going to accomplish there?), under Bush U.S. troops were sent to Somalia where they were harassed and eventually had to leave. Yes 2000Lariat, the military was quite prepared under those two presidents, the body count seems to back you up here. I'm still a little bit fuzzy, however, as to how W. knows military honor when he himself avoided the draft in Vietnam by getting a coveted air nasty guard spot from which he remained AWOL for two years (went to the head of the line through some string pulling by his daddy). And how much military time did **** get in? He was prime draft age. Oh yeah, just as much as Clinton, ZERO (he had a student deferment, too). Spare me the morality and "honor" crap. What a joke. The stock market's kicking ***, the economy's strong. So what if Bill wants to mess around. If Hillary's willing to put up with it, big deal. Think W. can do better? I doubt it. I would almost rather have Dan Quayle for president (another low-I.Q.-draft-dodging-dope-smoker)

Kilroy & Dennis-
I couldn't agree more with you guys about what you have written. I feel that I am better off now than what I was 8 years ago....Granted 8 years ago, I was still in Highschool, but I have a feeling that if the Republicans had stayed in power, I would be working my a&& off, and I would still be driving my 79 F250 because I couldn't have afforded my 1999 F150.
All I can say is GO GET'EM GORE

Democrat President, Republican House & Senate. Who makes the laws? Not the Prez! Greenspan has 100% more to do with the economy than Clinton. Clinton has little to do with the stock market & economy. Pick any 8 year period (besides the great depression and maybe a war) and people are most likely better off than before no matter who was president. It's from an increase in technology which relates to an increase in the standard of living.

Lets mention specific things Clinton has done that he is directly responsible for (The $500 per child tax credit comes to mind) versus things that are influenced by a lot of different factors.

You could put tons of quotes up here by *****...I Mean Gore. "I am just a dumb ***, that thinks I invented the internet....now as your leader, I want to take away some of your personal freedoms.....I am against everything....and cannot except, that I will not win this election......I do understand that Governor Bush may not be the smartest man, but he is a HELL OF A LOT SMARTER THAN ME.....VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE".....

Do you understand, they might not be the 2 best, smartest, whatever.....but BUSH is damn sure BETTER than AL "DUMBASS" Gore.

I would just hope, that all you guys that drive 4x4 trucks, go hunting, any outdoor activities.....etc....voted for Bush, cause these are some things that Gore wants to take away. Al "friggin" Gore, what a turd.

I do know that Bush sends murderers to die, and that is exactly what they deserve. He will make a good president, better than Gore anyway.

I know I'm not the only Republican on this board that likes Bush.
