-Caveat Lector- "Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:15). THURSDAY MAY 20 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Living the lie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- We turn our eyes from the carnage on the evening news as NATO pipe bombs -- excuse me, cluster bombs -- another 100-or-so Albanian refugees, huddled in the forests and fields to escape the terror. Limbs, lives, and dreams -- all severed and strewn about the nearby farming landscape. The evening talking-head quickly delves into the technical details of NATO's fancy little gadget. The general who is his guest gratefully obliges with the specifications. Clinton's Killing Machine drones on, devoid of purpose, launched with an affront to the Law of the Land, fueled by the budgetary surplus, sugar-coated with lies, spoon-fed nightly to mothers and fathers, grandparents, and the generation that will inherit the burnt out case that once was the most respected nation on earth. As it is with men and their leaders, so it is with nations: "Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:15). Historically, America has relied upon technology to protect us during armed conflict. The smooth-bore muskets of the British were no match for the more accurate, rifled barrels of the Kentucky longarms. Their modern equivalent -- America's nuclear shield -- has been handed over by those whose hatred for America is matched only by their greed and lust for power. For a pittance in campaign contributions China bought our nuclear secrets from the Democratic National Committee, acting as banker for the Clinton-Gore White House. For its treason, Clinton-Gore gained four more years to lie about the economy. Treat it like a poll: find out what the nation's economists think is necessary, then deliver those numbers at the end of the month. Why risk the unpleasant surprises that real numbers could generate? Men and women who supported a liar for president -- and begged their senators for his reprieve -- have no claim to anything better. Let the good times roll and pass the stock options! If you're a Baby Boomer, your son or daughter doesn't know what a military draft is. You can explain it, when our "volunteer" force collapses, its technological advantage stripped away, because the proceeds paid for the last election. Tell little Suzy that it's OK to be captured: Prisoner of War camps have rules guaranteed by international treaties. And anyway rape, torture, mutilation and murder are nothing more than different forms of free expression. Judge not, that ye be not judged. Tell young Johnny that driving an Abrams tank is a lot like driving the family's Sport Utility Vehicle, except that the lifespan of the battlefield operator is frequently measured in minutes or hours, not the decades of suburbia. Comfort yourself with the thought that the end, when it comes, will probably be quick. Frame your stock brokerage statement with Johnny's death certificate and your daughter's last letter from the POW camp -- a poignant reminder that nothing is free. Even DOW 10,000 has its cost. Always remember: "It's the economy, stupid." And when push came to shove, you did your part. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- � 1999 Western Journalism Center ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_mcmillan/19990520_xccmc_living_lie.shtm l Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: ....a benefit/subsidy protection racket!
