Tim. That was a great post and try as I might I could not find anything there that I would disagree with. It is all so common sense.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car... If you're Sean Connery you can also kill with just your thumb. IC

In case you have forgotten, Jesse Jackson, a married man, has lost all credibility in consequence of his affair with a woman. Before that affair became known, Jesse Jackson was a champion of many minority causes on his own volition and when called by "underprivileged" minority groups to help them. The writer of the email seems to have forgotten that it was Clinton who gave the blacks a great boost, self-esteem and respectability by giving them opportunities that the writer takes exception with. In other words, Clinton made possible the things that the writer of that email dislikes and/or disagrees with. So, in a sense the complainer was barking up the wrong tree. However, what he wrote rang a responsive chord in many folks who don't know things better and who just respond to knee-jerk reaction. Clinton even went out of his way to point out that President Jefferson had a black mistress and several children by her and that their descendants are living among us. Even Clinton himself was rumored to have fathered a black child --- a son said to be living in Australia! (In case you haven't heard it yet, there are whites who say, "When you've got black, you don't go back....."). No wonder we have so very many black Americans in America, eh? <ggg> Yea, Clinton was responsible for a number of ills that America faced in his time and even today. Yet he was hailed and praised as a great president while he was in office. Again, in case you have forgotten, there are many folks who still want him to be President but unfortunately for them, the law does not allow him to run for a third term for their sake. How was it possible for minority groups to say and do the sort of things that rile so many folks? Clinton, of course. He was such a very politically-correct and extremely popular fella!!! It is no exaggeration to say that Clinton made 9/11 possible. I have already said this in an earlier post. Like it or not, it is a fact that the majority of Americans tend to root for the underdog! I am not surprised that the claims for privileges, fairness and justice of most of the minority groups, from within and without, that so rile the writer of that email, actually do have the tacit approval and support from lotsa' underdog-lovers! What has brought about all that whining and complaining? The answer lies in September 11th 2001! And the very many underdog-lovers in N. America!!! Oh well, that is the price we all have to pay for living in a "democratic" country. Because, in a democracy, the majority has the privilege to be wrong! <ggg> The anger, outrage and mass-hysteria that tsunamied the #1 nation in the world, in the aftermath of 9/11, has caused all hitherto suppressed emotions against blacks and minority groups to surface. As someone put it, "All the gloves are now off....." Another said, "Vietnam made me feel guilty. But now I am proud I blasted our enemies 30 years ago."

Immoral authority November 4, 2002 The new anti-war movement is going to have to do better than Jesse Jackson as a spokesman if it has any chance of being taken seriously. Did you hear what the make-believe reverend said last weekend while speaking to a few thousand protesters in Washington? "If we launch a pre-emptive strike on Iraq, we lose all moral authority." That's right. He said it. He actually said it: The adulterer posing as a man of God. The shakedown artist and con-man posing as a selfless leader of his people. The co-opter of street gangs in Chicago posing as a law-abiding citizen. The apologist and defender of brutal tyrants posing as a human rights advocate. Moral authority? What would Jesse Jackson know about moral authority? He is an authority on one thing – immorality. No, maybe one more – hypocrisy. Jackson is an opportunist waiting for an opportunity to happen. Who is he kidding? He would love nothing more than for America to lose its moral authority. The man hates everything about America except for the way it showers him with attention – and undeserved wealth and adulation. Now, let me say I have immense respect for the new anti-war movement – even if I disagree with it. I have opposed most recent military adventures in which the United States has participated. It just so happens we have no choice but to pursue Iraq – and the entire terrorist infrastructure it supports and shields. This is not Serbia, folks. This is a country that deliberately attacked the U.S. in a big way. Iraq has sponsored al-Qaida for a decade – along with Iran and others. We have to take them on one at a time, and it's Iraq's turn. If we don't do it now it will soon be too late. Forget the U.N. resolutions. That's not what this is about. It's about terrorists getting their hands on nuclear weapons – if they don't have them already. Do these people remember the World Trade Center? That was nothing compared with what a few nuclear devices will do. It's now or never for Iraq. Jesse Jackson and his friends would like us to forget about Sept. 11. They'd like us to forget about it for many reasons. People like Jesse Jackson haven't been able to get nearly the attention they got before Sept. 11 – attention on gripes and concerns which now seem trivial by comparison. Do you know why we don't listen to Jackson any more? Because his issues are trivial. They are phony. They are not life-and-death issues like terrorism. So, now he sees a chance to co-opt a life-and-death issue – the impending war. And, as usual, he's on the wrong side of this issue, too. Listen to him whine: "We must not be diverted. In two years we've lost 2 million jobs, unemployment is up, stock market down, poverty up. It's time for a change. It's time to vote on Nov. 5 for hope. We need a regime change in this country." What does Jesse Jackson care about jobs? He's never had one in his life – unless you call "shakedown artist" a job description. Just when it seemed like the world had caught on to this phony, up he pops again – like a bad penny. But, I guess it's good news that the crowds he draws are smaller than ever. I guess it's good news that the causes he supports are more unpopular than ever. I guess it's good news that more people are wise to Jesse Jackson than ever before. I just couldn't let that remark about "moral authority" go without comment – and I wasn't sure anyone else noticed. I know how difficult it is to actually listen to this man speak. I got physically sick at the sound of his voice. If this is the best the new anti-war movement can do, there's an excellent chance we're going to win this war – both on the battlefield and here at home. worldnetdaily.com
