CLINTON LEGACY: THE COST OF REAL CORRUPTION
By Christopher G. Adamo
PARTISAN POLITICS, LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, POLITICAL CORRUPTION, & ABUSE OF POWER: THE POLITICAL LEFT'S USE OF
AMERICA'S LEGAL SYSTEM TO ATTACK REPUBLICANS, WHILE IGNORING THE INCESSANT SLEAZE & SCANDAL THAT OCCURRED
DURING THE CLINTON PRESIDENCY -- HOW THE DISHONESTY & BETRAYALS OF THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION SERIOUSLY
JEOPARDIZED THE SECURITY & VERY EXISTENCE OF THE U.S.A. -- THE PRICE WE ARE PAYING FOR THE CLINTON POLITICAL
MACHINE'S ENDANGERMENT OF AMERICAN NATIONAL INTERESTS
FULL STORY:
From the moment of Tom Delay’s indictment, Liberal grandstanding has been relentless. Its most notable mouthpieces, led by the
ever-shrill House Minority Leader (Democratic Party Floor Leader) Nancy Pelosi, characterized the indictment as solid proof of a
“culture of corruption” among the Republicans.
Similar Democratic Party Liberal caterwauling greets each new suggestion that some
high-ranking Republican might have “outed” Valerie Plame as a covert CIA
operative. The political Left virtually salivates at the possibility that Presidential
Adviser Karl Rove could be the “fall guy,” despite the inarguable fact that
Plame was neither covert, nor was her CIA status a secret at the time her
name was disclosed.
Not wanting to end up on the wrong side of these controversies,
Conservatives are reserving judgment on Delay and Rove, awaiting the
official outcome of the judicial charades that must now follow.
Unfortunately, their reluctance to directly confront such deception will
only be perceived as weakness.
Such restrained behavior may, once again, do more harm than good in a
political climate where the law is increasingly invoked, not as a guardian
of justice, but as a weapon by which the powerful can dominate the weak.
For more than a decade, political posturing and “spin,” long a means of
supplanting uncomfortable facts with glib soundbites, has become the primary
tactic of the political Left. To date, nobody has engaged in such behavior
more perniciously than former President Bill Clinton, abetted (and perhaps
driven) by his wife Hillary.
In a newly released book My FBI, former FBI Director Louis Freeh outlines the
incessant sleaze and scandal that ensued from the moment the Clintons
ascended to power. Yet, even the events described in Freeh’s accounts, despicable though those events are,
pale in comparison to the worst betrayals of the country by the Clinton
administration.
Some international events of this past week, if taken in their proper
context, reveal the frightening truth of just how egregiously America’s
security, and indeed its very future, was deliberately compromised by the
Clintons.
For the second time in two years, China launched a manned space vehicle,
this time carrying two Chinese astronauts, into space and retrieved it
safely on the plains of Mongolia. This mission would have been impossible
for the Chinese, had crucial technology not been given to them by such
corporations as Loral Space Systems, with the blessing and enabling of the
Clinton White House.
Predictably, the Chinese space program is thoroughly politicized and
ambitious, with stated goals of a Chinese space station and manned moon
landing by 2010. Whether or not the date slips, China clearly poses a far
greater technological threat than it otherwise would have, without the
collaboration of the Clintons.
China is fighting a new “Cold War,” borne up by American dollars, which it
fully intends to win. This time however, the administration of President
Bill Clinton played the same role as did the Rosenbergs in the last one.
Just as the infamous couple delivered critical nuclear technology to the
Soviets in the late 1940s, the Clintons sold critical missile technology to
the Communist Chinese in return for campaign contributions, the dubious
nature of which vastly eclipses any accusation against Delay from even his
most wild-eyed critics.
Counting on the technical ignorance of the “X-Box” generation, Clinton
dismissed the horrendous technology transfers as merely benefiting
“commercial satellite technology.” But as any marginally savvy space
enthusiast knows, the technology required to orbit a satellite is identical
to that necessary to hurl a Chinese nuclear warhead into the American
heartland.
It is unclear whether America should return to the moon and thus reestablish
space supremacy, or simply pursue technology on the home front and, in
regards to space feats, rest on its laurels from the 1960s. In any case,
the only unacceptable course is to return the country to those Leftists who
originally fomented the crisis.
In the wake of the Islamist terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Clinton’s treacherous dealings with the
Communist Chinese were shoved from the limelight. But even in the aftermath
of that horrendous event, the sordid fingerprints of the Clintons were once
again apparent, thwarting efforts to truly understand how such a thing could
have transpired.
With Jamie Gorelick working from the “inside” and Sandy Berger on the
“outside,” the 9-11 Commission was capably prevented from identifying the
culpability of the Clinton White House in leaving America vulnerable to
attack.
More than four years after leaving office, the Clinton political machine
continues to seriously endanger the interests of the nation. Yet Nancy
Pelosi and the Democrats remain steadfastly unaware of any “culture of
corruption” here.
And America has only begun to pay the price.
