I guess you may have gotten me on the impeachment issue but then again, Clinton's cigar playing was no match for Nixon's Watergate As I said last week, this is a typical liberal reaction to commission of a wrong: "It's okay, because [fill in name] did wrong, too". If you'll review your posts, and those of the other liberals on this board, you'll find that this, in one form or another, is the response to the vast majority of accusations. It's okay, because someone else did it. What bull! I told my kids, damn near every day, "it doesn't matter what [fill in name]'s parents allow THEIR kids to do. It just doesn't matter. What matters is what YOU do. We don't refer to others' versions of right and wrong. We establish our own, and we live by them. Right and wrong is absolute, not relative to someone else's right and wrong." I do this because I don't want them making the same mistake liberals, collectively make, i.e., moral relativism. You simply can't get righteous outcomes when you have a varying standard of righteousness. What you have done is to somehow attempt to lighten Clinton's horrible behavior (lying, lying, lying, cheating on his wife, selling out the national interest in too many ways to count) by comparing it to Nixon's. Of course, your plan backfired anyway. While Nixon was certainly in the wrong, his abuse of power in no way compares with that of Clinton. Nixon's problems stemmed from a single incident (that we know of, at least). Clinton's administration was by far the most corrupt of modern times, and perhaps in the nation's history, culminating in a series of pardons that can only be described as a national embarrassment. Nixon was a pretty good president who made a fatal mistake. Overall, even with his moral failure, he had major accomplishments -- as a result, he was able to restore some level of dignity to his presidency before his death. Clinton was sorry from minute one, and as a result, his failed presidency cannot take credit legitimately for even one significant accomplishment. History will remember Clinton only as a horrible, failed president. Of course, lots of us in Arkansas knew that before he was ever elected. If you can't put forth a legitimate argument against this post please don't bother to reply. You'll only show your shallowness [again].
