At the time, President Clinton presented the move as something perfectly ordinary: “All those people are routinely replaced,” he told reporters, “and I have not done anything differently.” In fact, the dismissals were unprecedented: Previous Presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, had both retained holdovers from the previous Administration and only replaced them gradually as their tenures expired. This allowed continuity of leadership within the U.S. Attorney offices during the transition.

Also at the time, allegations concerning some of the Clintons’ Whitewater dealings were coming to a head. By dismissing all 93 U.S. Attorneys at once, the Clintons conveniently cleared the decks to appoint “Friend of Bill” Paula Casey as the U.S. Attorney for Little Rock. Ms. Casey never did bring any big Whitewater indictments, and she rejected information from another FOB, David Hale, on the business practices of the Arkansas elite including Mr. Clinton. When it comes to “politicizing” Justice, in short, the Bush White House is full of amateurs compared to the Clintons.-http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009784

Well, well, well:

Take sacked U.S. Attorney John McKay from Washington state. In 2004, the Governor’s race was decided in favor of Democrat Christine Gregoire by 129-votes on a third recount. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and other media outlets reported, some of the “voters” were deceased, others were registered in storage-rental facilities, and still others were convicted felons. More than 100 ballots were “discovered” in a Seattle warehouse. None of this constitutes proof that the election was stolen. But it should have been enough to prompt Mr. McKay, a Democrat, to investigate, something he declined to do, apparently on grounds that he had better things to do.

Politicize, eh?

What’s Next?

I swear I was thinking that very thing just yesterday.

How much does it take? Do 30% of our fellow Americans truly believe that to be a patriot you have to blindly follow our President? Blindly? No questions asked?

Does your political affiliation mean so much more than the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill Of Rights, The Girl Scout Pledge and humanity? Many will get their BVD’s in a wad over that question. But you’ve got my Hanes bunched too.

For years now I have sat back and passively dismissed members of the opposition who would question my patriotism. Well fellas, I QUESTION YOURS.

Day after day, the truth of the depth of incompetence and corruption surrounding this administration floats to the top of the pool like a Baby Ruth in a Caddyshack movie. The American citizen is then forced to bite it.

This is America. Land of the free and Home of the Brave. We have the chance to be not a hyper-power as PNAC would suggest, but a greater-power for goodwill, peace and health throughout the world. That does not mean being some pantywaist chicken-hawk. Decency and strength are not mutually exclusive.

The Bush Administration and its minions are an embarrassment to our nation. The public that voted for change last November is our great pride. The constitution-hugging patriots who bring us back on course in 2008 are our source for faith in truth, justice and the American way.

Write your representatives.

Why all the foam, you pinko partisan hacks?:

The e-mails certainly don’t appear to corroborate the allegation Democrats keep repeating: that U.S. Attorneys were fired for going after Republicans, or for failing to go after Democrats. Instead, judging from the e-mails, it appears that the White House was genuinely concerned with performance issues, such as a failure to go after drug smugglers, and — hold onto your hat — an insufficient focus on illegal immigration cases. Yes: the White House fired a U.S. Attorney for going too easy on those illegal aliens!-http://patterico.com/2007/03/14/5953/la-times-tries-to-make-a-mountain-out-of-the-molehill-of-e-mails-on-the-us-attorney-firings/

This is just put out there to provoke discussion. It is long, but worth reading. Remember Richard Lam was the Democrat Governor of Colorado 1975-1987.

Subject: Speech from former Govenor Dick Lamm (How to Destroy America)

This is important to all of us FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE “CONSERVATIVE” SIDE OF THE FENCE, READ THIS AND LEARN TO UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS BETTER THAN EVER. FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT ON THE “CONSERVATIVE” SIDE OF THE FENCE, PLEASE READ AND LEARN A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT.

Wherever you stand, please take the time to read this; it ought to scare the pants off you!

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado . In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America ‘s finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, “Mexifornia,” explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America . The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States . He said, “If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let’s destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that ‘An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.’”

“Here is how they do it,” Lamm said: “First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country.” History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: “The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.” Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of nati

Defending the Bush administration has become a joke. Bush’s failures out number his few successes ten to one. The American public elected George so we got what we deserved the second time around. Richard Nixon’s place in history will be replaced in 2008. Let me remind you of a few of his famous words. “You are doing a great job Brownie”. Let me add ‘You too are doing just as great of job Bushy”.

Continuing the article. I won’t post the whole thing because it is too long. Have fun and discuss without using invectives.

Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans.”.

Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America , “Invent ‘multiculturalism’ and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Third, “We could make the United States an ‘Hispanic Quebec ’ without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: “The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony (dominance) . Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.”

For once, it seems as if a comparison to the previous Administration (and the ones before that) is appropriate. It demonstrates the continuity of certain political acts. I noticed the “responses” were more “Bush is destroying America” and nothing much on topic. That alone tells me you’ve got something there. It also demonstrates why more and more people like what Obama has to say - and why Hillary is losing ground. Liberal Dems and Famcon Reps may not like Giuliani’s personal life - but it’s shaping up that Democratic control of the White House is not a given in ‘08.

I didn’t write the introduction. Had I done so I would not have labeled it a conservative vs. liberal thing, but rather a cultural thing. Having grown up in a bilingual extended family in Louisiana where they were doing their best to stamp out French as an everyday language of the street. I have mixed emotions, but I do see the value of having one common language of government and commerce and how multilingual/multicultural societies lead to division and conflict.

I, too, think that having English as a common language for government and commerce is beneficial, but we should not be denying our kids the opportunity to learn the other languages of the world. I had the option to pick from about 5 different languages to learn when I was in school, and it has served me well in my world travels, as well as the understanding of language and semantics in general.

Regarding the thirty percent - there seems to be a general rule in political views that about 20-25 percent of people will hold to almost any view (amazing, I know - but it’s like that “80/20” rule in business - 80% of your time is taken up by 20% of the employees, etc). Even at the height of Watergate, with Nixon about to resign, about a fourth of the electorate thought he was just dandy and the rest of the country was out to get him.

The view of the 30 percent doesn’t mean the rest hold the opposite view - there’s a broad spectrum there (they may think Iraq’s turned into a royal (an earlier acronym) SNAFU but agree or are just above ambivalent on other issues) and that’s where the battle for the votes will be.

Goldie - if you access the entire article (you can google it) you will see what Lamm’s point really is. I don’t think that anyone who has any sense, liberal or conservative, wants to take the position that we should not teach our children foreign languages. I speak French and Spanish and a little Welsh (useless but fun) and I see the value in it. I do agree that we must have a common language and culture to be a truly united people. I think allowing second and third languages as a matter of routine is very distructive of a common, united culture. We made that decision early on as a nation, that is why German was not ever used in official documents despite it being the second language for over 100 years.

Paul,

You may want to google “The Reichstag Fire Decree”. It is the legislation passed by the German parliament in reaction to the burning of the Reichstag building. It restricted civil liberties, opposition parties, and is considered by many as the key point when the Nazis solidified power even though they never had won at least half of the votes cast in any previous election. It was sold to the German people using fear as the incentive.

This was followed quickly by the Enabling Act. This legislation allowed Hitler’s Cabinet to enact laws without going thru the parliament. It also allowed Hitler to pass laws that could “deviate from the Constitution”.

Hitler then entered into a period where he passed laws directed at Jews, the mentally ill, etc. Civil liberties went out the window.

In a final step toward controlling the German state, Hitler appointed judges and prosecutors who would do his bidding. Many opponents, intellectuals, jews, communists, leftists (redundant?), and others were tried on trumped up charges and executed or sentenced to long terms.

Think about it…..

That’s a very good example. It’s served as a textbook case when people ask “how can this happen?” Granted, the German state was relatively new and they’d only recently adopted a democratic government. The parallels extend to not only established governments (the popular series “24” is handling this theme this season) but to emerging democracies - Iraq - as well.

Another element that formed my opposition to universal conscription (not universal service, in nonmilitary sectors, as you’ve pointed out) - my dad once told him that when he was a kid (in a community where there were lots of nonEnglish speaking immigrants - Italians, Germans, Poles, Swedes) - that a kid came into town with a crew cut. Some of the old guys got indignant - they’d fought a war (WW I) and didn’t want that “Prussian militarism” in their town. One (German) guy said that’s why his ancestors left - so they wouldn’t get drafted.

BTW - thanks for the Brown Derby tip. Lots of good reference and opinion material there.

I’ll be out most of the day. I wanted to leave you with a book suggestion.

Try Tony Hendra’s “The Messiah of Morris Avenue”. It is a very quick read…more of a novella.

The book is set in the near future. All levels of government are now in the hands of Christian Fundamentalists. Civil liberties are non-existant. TV and the film industry have been legislated into producing only government-approved material.

Then, in New York City a young man is noted going around and talking to people about self-sacrifice, love, etc. He heals the sick and feeds the hungry. He is half Puerto Rican, half Irish (I think).

Some newsperson sarcastically asks him if he thinks he is Jesus, returned.

When Cheney and advisors such as KKKarl Rove are given free reign for creating policy, we end up with the current situation in the White House: allowing propagandists such as Jeff Gannon to infiltrate the press corps, placing government-sponsored “news items” in various media outlets without disclosing the real source of the “news”, manipulating intelligence reports in order to support a chosen occupation of a foreign country, leaking classified CIA information in an attempt to denigrate those who oppose you, etc…. these are all un-American values for our government and should be discussed in public and stopped!

Congress should broaden the investigation to determine whether any other prosecutors were forced out for not caving in to political pressure — or kept on because they did.

There was, for example, the decision by United States Attorney Chris Christie of New Jersey to open an investigation of Senator Bob Menendez just before his hotly contested re-election last November. Republicans, who would have held the Senate if Mr. Menendez had lost, used the news for attack ads. Then there was the career United States attorney in Guam who was removed by Mr. Bush in 2002 after he started investigating the superlobbyist Jack Abramoff. The prosecutor was replaced. The investigation was dropped.

My earlier response to LuckoDull regarding the attorney firings was this has occurred in several administrations. If it’s a prerogative of an administration, fine.

Goldie, your 8:37 response missed the mark. The original comment was “First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country.” You reply with “so in your conservative viewpoint, we should all have learned the language of the Cherokee and the Sioux way back when???”

That is correct IF we wanted to become one with the Cherokee or the Sioux and follow their ways. But since we wanted to take over and make this our country, we continued to speak our native language, English and this became the USA. And the Sioux and Cherokee people were reduced to a minor part of America.

Now if we want the Mexicans to assimilate into OUR country we must insist that they learn out language and interact with our government in English. If we want to let them TAKE OVER our country then let them keep their language and we should learn Spanish and provide all official paperwork in Spanish. Then we, as Americans, will become a minor part of the Republic of Mexico.

However, that is irrelevant. Hitler wanted to destroy democratic institutions everywhere. Bush no more wants to destroy democratic traditions than Clinton did.

What I am getting at, Truthsayer, and you are part of the problem, is that some people can’t see the value of our form of government.

Had Hitler succeeded in building a ‘United States of Europe’ from the Urals to the Pyrenees, that would have been very, very bad.

But if the light of democracy as evinced by our freedom documents is snuffed out by the apathy - of people like you- that would be worse.

When Bush ordered that Jose Padilla be held as an “unlawful combatant” in 2002 - in clear opposition to the Bill of Rights — he should have been immediately impeached.

Diversity is alright with most of the anti immigrant crowd as long as the diversity is WHITE. The immigration issue is about race. Period. A bunch of scared to death chicken little xenophobes and nativists that are scared to death of losing some “culture” that none of them can even define. Furthermore, the Republican party literally screwed themselves by pandering to the racist and bigoted right wing. The immigration issue alone cost the party millions of votes for years to come.

That’s right, the Associated Press reports that Republicans said they are “prepared to strip $2 billion in federal money out of social services” from the state budget. You can’t make this stuff up.

Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer’s budget director said: “I’m at a loss as to why we wouldn’t want to have our federal tax moneys we pay to the federal government returned to us.” I’m at a loss, too. As I said, it’s about as ridiculous as holding oneself up at gunpoint. But then, that’s the Montana Republican Party for you.

Goldie, Have you ever heard of the Brady Bill? How about that “assault rifle” ban that Slick Willie passed? ANY restrictions on what weapons I can own is a infringement on my Rights.

As far as education in Georgia, I think your party had control for the last 150 years and got our educational system into the shape it is in. The “Repugs” are good but it will take more than 3-4 years to fix all the problems your party has caused. And education is just the beginning of things the “left” has messed up in Georgia.

Walt - I was off by one year. But I was right about the circumstances of Germany’s union. I lifted the following from Wikipedia. Please read.

Over a five-month campaign, the German armies defeated the newly recruited French armies in a series of battles fought across northern France. Following a prolonged siege, the French capital Paris fell on January 28, 1871. Ten days earlier, the German states had proclaimed their union under the Prussian King, uniting Germany as a nation-state, the German Empire. The final peace Treaty of Frankfurt was signed May 10, 1871, during the time of the bloody Paris Commune of 1871.

Midori/Goldie - please tell me how I haven’t a clue? I was right and I verified it. The problem with historical facts is that they usually can be verified. I verified mine. Here’s another one for you. The 1866 date was for the Confederation of Northern Germany which did not include Bavaria, Austria, Wurtemburg and Baden. Austria and Liechtenstein opted out of a united Germany. Germanic peoples have had a long tradition of democratic thought and traditions. England is just one among many nations with those traditions. The Weimar constitution and the current constitution of the DFR are but continuations of those often interrupted traditions which produced such luminaries as Martin Luther, Kant, Jung and Goethe. Lamentably Germany also produced Marx and Hilter. The Kaiser was a nut and he started a terrible war, but not without the support of the elected Reichstag. Class dismissed.

{{{{{Blackadder added-“I’m at a loss, too.”}}}}}

Are these two too stupid to know that the money that went to Washington came from the working people of Montana, but the money being returned is going to more Government?

Blackadder - If you understood the basic tenets of federalism you would understand that states have every right to refuse federal funds. If they do, then the feds can’t make them do certain things they don’t want to do but must if they take the money. In fact, the founding fathers never envisioned giving one red cent to the states. Federal taxes (until 1913 only tariffs except during the Civil War) were meant to be for FEDERAL duties like policing the ports and national defense.

The Unification of Germany took place on January 18, 1871, when Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck managed to unify a number of independent German states into one nation, and thus created the German Empire, from which all of the states since that time bearing the name of Germany descend.

RW, I hope you get your taxes back: specifically the billions and billions of tax dollars being wasted in Iraq. You can’t support a war without tax money and if you look at where the biggest chunk of tax dollars goes, you’ll see it is provided to the military.
So, quit complaining and support the troops.

Walt - you were wrong about EVERYTHING and you just do not want to admit it. If you would check all of your facts you would avoid some embarassing situations. Prussia was not all of Germany. It did not definitively control Germany until unification in 1871. There was a long tradition in much of Germany of free thought and democratic traditions, as I have noted earlier. The free cities like Bremen, Frankfurt, Cologne and Nuremberg are the best examples. Hanover also had a long tradition of democracy, although limited. Democracy was always quite limited in Europe, even in England with the longest tradition of democratic institutions of the major European countries. Hungary also had a long tradition of democratic institutions as did Bohemia and Moravia. Switzerland’s democratic institutions started in its German cantons. Again, verify it. Class dismissed!

I didn’t say I didn’t want to pay any taxes. I want every level of government to be fully funded to do what they are duly and Constitutionally charged to do, nothing more nothing less. You can’t possibly think that Governments are running like well oiled machines, with the one exception being Iraq.

Moral waivers

I have heard the term moral realtivism thrown about before. This is in reference to the comments by Peter Pace, who I think should not have to apologize for his personal beliefs. I do think it is out of line to do so in uniform however and that should be acknowledged.

However, there is now a clear exapmle of moral equivalency in the armed forces, namely that a moral waiver may be granted for felonies, but not for homosexuality. I guess this means that the armed forces view homosexuality as a worse moral infraction.

7% of the US budget is hefty chunk that could be better spent on Americans: health care, education, infrastructure, military quality of life, etc.

But this 7% is only in supplements that go to Haliburton and logistical stuff. It does not include health care for the war wounded. It does include military wages for the warfighters. It does not include death benefits for those who died in the war. It does not include mental health issues.

Looking at just the supplementals is vastly underestimating the total cost of the war in Iraq.

Walt - if you are still on here, I can oblige you now. First of all, Common Law is not a document, it is a body of law, still in use which has been made by tradition rather than by statute. Much if not most of it has been codified. There is no document called “common law”. However, several documents in German history do have a corresponding “value” including Martin Luther’s 92 Theses in which he asserted independence over the Church and the emperor in matters of religion and conscience. The Swiss cantons’ declarations of independence from the Holy Roman Emperors also come to mind. Also in Hungary there was the Golden Bull, very similar to the Magna Carta and other “bulls” published by various German states.

However, Germany, like the rest of Europe used Roman rather than common law. Sorry to disappoint you, but there just is not a “common law” single document, and as I alluded to earlier, it was really not democratic in the strictest since as it was “traditional” law based on tradtional rights.

Please get all of your facts right or you will continue to embarass yourself. By the way, I am no fans of Germans in general. I find them crude, base and unfeeling and they serve bad food. However, I will defend their history and culture when the facts demand it.

There is a guy named Tom Hartman on Air America who has taken over Al Franken’s spot. If you get a chance, give him a listen, you can stream AA online if it is not on the radio. Not particularly a funny guy, not a screamer or an outrage guy either, but very sharp. He is the only guy I have heard speaking about the benefits of tariffs and the consequences of an unfettered free market. I have not heard anyone anywhere speaking like that before. Interesting stuff on what defines a third world country vs a first world country, he defines it less as the wealth than as to the net import/export of raw materials vs finished goods. Anyway if you get a chance to listen to a few shows I would like to hear your take on it, it is always good to get a fresh perspective now and then.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., called the decision to move as “an example of corporate greed at its worst.” “This is an insult to the U.S. soldiers and taxpayers who paid the tab for their no-bid contracts and endured their overcharges for all these years,” Leahy said in a statement. “At the same time they’ll be avoiding U.S. taxes, I’m sure they won’t stop insisting on taking their profits in cold hard U.S. cash,” Leahy said.

RE: I served in Germany at the end of the Second War. I am not of german descent. Germany today represents the strongest democracy in eastern Europe. Germans fall over themselves to be fair. They are acutely aware of their tragic history. Along with France they are a beacon to the young democracies of the former Soviet Union. The StaatsOper in Berlin is world class. Its Art and Theater are excellent. The restaurants are quite good. My personal preference is middle eastern food. With the largest turkish population outside Istanbul, there are plenty choices. Und, ach, das Bier ist ausgezeichnet!

Its both amazing and tragic the way everyone seems to be quibbling about prosecuting attorneys being replaced when we have our own border patrol,deputy sheriffs and atlanta police officers being lynched by black hate filled so-called "activists",as well as our own pack of "illegal immigrant loving"egotistical portfolio,camera hugginprosecuters(buzzards).Officer Ray Bunn of the Atlanta ploice dept. is being attaked and vicimized by hate filled black racists for protecting himself from Corey Ward,a black person,who had just broken into a vehicle and then tried to ram a vehicle into officer Bunn who then fired at the vehicle to try to stop Ward and Ward lost his life.Ward was in possession of cocaine,marijuana and a large knife and at the wheel of a deadly weapon,an automobile.Whos choice was it to commit these crimes?Corey Ward,thats who.There was a black officer with officer Bunn.Is he being prosecuted as an accomplice?This is ridiculous and the so-called activists know it.So istead of wasting our energy on attorneys being firede(clinton fired every one of his in order to side-step the whitewater lies)we should focus our attention and inteeligence on righting the travesty`s being commited on those who put teir lives on the line for all of us every day.I know it will be tramatic for some of you to think about something besides “global warming”or latte at “starbucks”(oh dread!)but try and do something constructive with your time,you know ,something positive for a change.Hey!You might just like it!

Not only that: This is gym boy we’re talking about, right? Goes to the gym and works out.

World War 2 ended in 1945, 61 years ago. Let’s just say Daniella was 18 back in 1945. That’s 79 freaking years old.

How many of you know any 79 year olds that work out in the gym, show of hands please.

These liberals are so full of crap.

There is absolutely nothing from them based in reality.

RW, my bad. Biz takes me here and there, and sometimes I just don’t have the time to logon to follow the lateset threads. Like the one on Germany. I mean, here I am in Atlanta! Whoda thunk it?

Still, in the great scheme of things, you have never wavered from your canard that Iraq was the true axis of evil and Saddan was the devil incarnate.

In my limited blog time lately (you know know how consulting can be… feast and famine)… I just want to remind you about how right I was about the real terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan and what a sucker you were for falling for the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld “SADDAM IS THE LORD OF TERRORISTS” fairytale.

Andy and Doughnut, that goes for yo, too.

Sara/finch/seeker/mirror/bonscott/slobberingdrunkenidiot,

You’ll be very hard pressed to find a single time anywhere that I have said Iraq was the true axis of evil and Saddam was the devil incarnate. I’ve often said it certainly would be by now had we let the French and Russians get the sanctions lifted and us kicked out of the enforcement zones.

So I guess the difference is you wanted him to gain that strength and I figured it would be a good idea to, in the immortal words of the late great Don Knotts as Barney Fife, nip it in the bud.

Oh, and YO to you too!

Walt, did the UN Sanctions change Saddam’s intentions and was the UN going to be in Iraq until Saddam’s death?

How many countries has the UN actually “contained”?”

Iraq was contained by us, not the UN.

Shame on you for not knowing.

Walt, you are only partially addressing the questions I pose to you. That is the diversionary dance practiced by many. I try to be more thorough in my analysis of complex situations.

So, I repeat; did the UN Sanctions change Saddam’s intentions and was the UN going to be in Iraq until Saddam’s death?

How exactly did WE contain Iraq?
