McCain/Clinton drinking contest
The
NY Times offers a look at the friendly relations between Sen. John
McCain (R-NV)and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and whether this means that if
they are presidential contenders there will be a kinder gentler campaign.
The Times also would have us believe that their friendship began after
Hillary decided to have a vodka-drinking contest with the boys:
Two summers ago, on a Congressional trip to Estonia, Senator Hillary Rodham
Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting that the group do
what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest.
Delighted, the leader of the delegation, Senator John McCain, quickly
agreed. The after-dinner drinks went so well — memories are a bit hazy on
who drank how much — that Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, later told
people how unexpectedly engaging he found Mrs. Clinton to be. "One of the
guys" was the way he described Mrs. Clinton, a New York Democrat, to some
Republican colleagues.
Traitors rally
Editorial by: Roger Wm. Hughes
The
NY Times has begun to rally people to the defense of a National Security
Administration employee who seems to admit he broke the law by making public
national secrets that he swore to keep confidential.
The usual suspects are soon to push forward the injustice being done by the
justice department in enforcing the laws, which state individuals who give
national secrets to anyone, including socialist subversive organizations
like the NY Times, for whatever reason have broken federal criminal law.
According to the Times the (ACLU) American Civil Liberties Union and a
liberal group known as
National Security Whistleblowers Coalition. However, the biggest
defenders of Russell D. Tice, 44, of Linthicum, Md. from having to tell the
truth before a federal grand jury will be America’s leading socialist media.
After all, they can’t afford to have their spies begin to pay the price for
leaking national secrets that they then get to publish for a profit.
Tice has admitted he discussed unclassified information about the security
agency with reporters for The Times and other publications. He also claims
he always was careful not to reveal classified information.
Tice’s testimony is sure to lead the grand jury closer to anyone who did
reveal secrets that were classified and the divulging of those secrets was a
crime under federal statutes.
Tice also stated, "I feel this is an intimidation tactic aimed at me and
anyone who’s considering dropping a dime on criminal activity by the
government,"
Such a statement makes a person wonder just how innocent of criminal
activity Tice is. It would not be in Tice’s interests to lie to a federal
grand jury.
There are many who believe the President doesn’t have any war powers that
enable him to keep America safe. There are many who believe the whole
business of a Central Intelligence Agency is just plain wrong. There are
even those who believe that no one is really out to kill us. They even
believe that everything is America’s fault. They are dead wrong, and there
is no reason to let them make the rest of us extinct.
The give-peace-a-chance crowd has every right to try and implement their
"Disarm America" stance. They have every right to take issues to the court
where they arbitrate whether the President has a right under the War Powers
Act to set up military tribunals to decide the fate of prisoners at "Gitmo."
However, those who do not want to be blown up have every right to work their
political will on making sure that we do not have traitors working in our
intelligence agencies. Let us just hope for our sake that we can work our
political will in time.
