“You, senator, I know, were the only person that I know of who suggested declaring war. In retrospect, you were probably right.” Source.

Those were the exact words of former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, during the 9/11 commission hearings, after being questioned by commissioner and former Sen. Bob Kerrey about the Clinton administration’s lackadaisical response to the terrorism against the U.S. that occurred from 1993 to 2000.

You see, back then if I remember correctly, Albright was talking tough like she was actually going to handle business and take on terrorism head on. So was her heroic boss, Clinton. However, if I remember right, it actually took Clinton some time to master the tough guy approach to terrorism. In the beginning, he was pretty soft, well…very soft. And, of course, he never really dealt with the problem.

For example, after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 Clinton urged us not to overreact, and, in an interview on MTV, described the bombing as the work of someone who “did something really stupid.” That’s not exactly tough talk. Source.

Terrorism continued.

Then he got bold. After the attack on the Khobar Towers barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, he said “The cowards who committed this murderous act must not go unpunished.” Source.

Terrorism continued.

He then got his rhetoric right (no pun intended) the time of the embassy attacks. “We will use all the means at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice, no matter what or how long it takes,” he said. “We are determined to get answers and justice.” Source.

Terrorism continued.

By October 2000, when al Qaeda bombed the USS Cole, Clinton had the routine down perfectly. “We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable,” he said. Source.

Terrorism continued.

The fact of the matter is that Clinton is responsible for doing too little about terrorism during his eight years in office, in which there were several attacks against the U.S. Here is a quick recap of the terrorist attacks during his reign:

• 1993 World Trade Center bombing – killed six and injured 1,000.
• 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia – killed five soldiers.
• 1996 al-Khobar towers bombing in Saudi Arabia – killed 19 and injured 200 soldiers.
• 1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa – killed 257 and injured 5,000.
• 2000 bombing of the USS Cole – killed 17 and injured 3 sailors.

And the Bush Administration…

• 2001 World Trade Center bombing (all planned during the Clinton Administration) – killed 3,000 + innocent people.

And, what did Bush do? He is dealing with terrorism despite being scrutinized by the main stream media; and if that means occupying Iraq than so be it.  While I am no Bush apologist and am very critical of some of his policies (immigration, border security), I can truly say with confidence that we are safer today than we were with Clinton.

And I still don’t understand why uninformed liberals actually believe that Bush caused 9/11 to happen; that his foreign policy while in office for 8 months caused this cowardly act.

I have been struggling between Romney, Giuliani and Thompson for several weeks now and I have finally decided that Fred is the right man for the job. Out of the three, he clearly exemplifies true conservative values. One indicator is his voting record during the eight years in Washington was well received by ideological right-wing extremists; guys like me of course. You can see where he stands on each issue here.

Also, not only is he elect-able, but it’s very clear to me that Fred can stand toe-to-toe with just about any opponent thanks to his star power, personal appeal, and strong communication skills.  He also has superior facial recognition from his role as Arthur Branch on the television show “Law and Order.â€?  Now, I won’t back a candidate just because they are elect-able; I was a strong supporter of Tom McClintock during his run for the Governor of California even though everyone and their mother knew that he didn’t stand a chance against liberal Arnold.

Moore importantly, Fred has the balls to stand up against liberal scum like Michael Moore, yet he does it so professional! Watch the video below…

I am not a big fan of free speech because some people well, umm…just make an idiot of themselves when they open their mouths; but like it or not, it does exist. So, I wonder what the big deal is when Anne Coulter called John Edwards a “faggotâ€? back in March. Everyone who saw the tape knows that she was only kidding, yet she continues to get attacked by the mainstream media and liberal blogs. The fact is that Ann Coulter has the right to say any damn thing she wants; even if it’s that she wishes John Edwards would be killed in a terrorist assassination plot (sounds quite similar to the comments made by Bill Maher about Cheney a few months back – and where was the outrage?).

Yes indeed, seems like Anne’s comments are a tad bit extreme but let’s go back to all the things that liberals have said that the media hardly ever reports:

Rosie O’Donnell (aka: the beast) – The Bush administration was behind 9/11.

Michael Moore – I personally hold Blair more responsible for this war than I do George Bush. The reason is, Blair knows better, Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?

John Kerry – You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.

Ron Paul (who?) – We had 9/11 coming to us because we were attacking Iraq.

Natalie Maines – Just so you know, we’re ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas

Janine Garofalo (horrible actress and failing talk show host) – This dumbing down and this pseudo patriotism, which is very conveniently partisan, because the dumb and the mean love patriotism…Yeah, it’s my country right or wrong. Well what of these colors don’t run? What do you mean? I don’t know. They use the word evildoer with a straight face, knee jerk reactionary phrases that go down well from the Republican Party with the dumb and the mean and then the mean pretend that it’s unpatriotic to be critical of your government.

Hillary Rodham Clinton – This administration is waging war on poor children.

Al Gore – He betrayed this country! He played on our fears! He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure pre-ordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place!

Cindy Sheehan – George and ***, you are both shameful cowards who are sending our brave young people to die to make yourselves and your buddies unbelievably and fabulously wealthy. Neither of you have any idea of the true human, sorrowful cost of war nor do you care that you are ruining lives by the thousands and thousands. You both disgust me beyond belief.

This fat liberal kid on Youtube – I hate Anne Coulter. I just hate her. She is a meany head. I hope she is killed and her bones are ground up to make bread; and that bread is broken by Jesus and that bread is fed to 5,000 people. Amen.

So, for all you cracker head liberals that read this blog…why is it always a double standard with you? You bitch, complain and cry about tolerance yet exercise none whatsoever. You hate capitalism, but did you know that the Edwards camp made $300,000 in campaign contributions using the video of Anne’s comments? I bet not!

By the way, before you start sending me hate mail saying that I hate the US and the Constitution, I was only kidding about hating free speech!! I have done far more for this country than most of you…have a sense a humor.
