Chestnuts In The Fire

Chestnuts In The Fire

Columnist Ted Lang "What goes around comes around," or so the saying goes. I guess what it implies is poetic justice. And speaking of justice, this writer has long clamored for it as regards felons Janet Reno and Bill Clinton. In fact, it has been my basic yardstick to judge both the morality and trustworthiness of our current ruler, President George W. Bush.

A situation has now developed that I find quite humorous were it not for the fact that it is so sad and tragic. I remember back to the now-politically incorrect Aesop Fable involving the cat being used by the monkey to pull hot chestnuts out of the fire. If memory serves, the cat did the risky business of grabbing the chestnuts while the monkey ate them. The cat was too distracted doing the heavy work to notice the monkey consuming the spoils of its labors. It's kind of similar to American taxpayers being robbed of their money by Congress to fund phony, unnecessary wars and communist dictators.

And of course finding meaningful lessons of life with good moral punch lines as offered by the writings of Aesop are as hard to find today as are lessons to be learned from true American history.

As I have pontificated on numerous previous occasions, the failure of President George W. Bush, America's chief law enforcement officer, to prosecute Reno and Clinton, has dissolved not only any and all respect I ever had for both him and the Republican Party, but has brought into serious question the entire legal system and our system of government as well.

Of course, mature advanced thinkers, worldly pundits and loyalist Republican friends advise me to "Get real;" Clinton and Reno are members of the world class elite, and as one know-it-all, Bill O'Reilly, has often advised, the rich and powerful protect the rich and powerful. Then this very same "No-Spin Zone" kahuna is reduced to hand wringing when it comes to the seeming epidemic of attacks on our children, the debacle of income taxes, the vulnerability of our borders and the astonishing influx of illegal aliens.

But if I am a simpleton, what is O'Reilly? Wasn't it Clinton and Gore that opened up our borders and relaxed our INS laws banning illegal aliens so that the latter could be converted to Democratic votes? And as they welcomed undesirable aliens longing for American welfare and handouts, didn't Reno and Clinton follow orders from their Communist leader, Fidel Castro, and ship Elian Gonzales back to Communist Cuba? One small boy for communism, and millions of votes for Democrats.

And didn't Reno gas and burn to death 26 children in Waco, Texas in 1993? And wasn't this all "for the children?" Hasn't Jocelyn Elders, Clinton's former Surgeon General, written a book concerning the latest left-liberal disestablishment agenda whose objective is the further destruction of the American family by urging the legitimization of pedophilia? C'mon Bill, get real!

Offering that a former president shouldn't be prosecuted is based upon only two possibilities; one, our politicians are all phonies and liars and don't really believe in equal "justice for all," so who cares whether it is "under God" or not? And the second possibility, Hillary still has her filthy little blackmail book and George and/or his old man are in it!

And now Gary Aldrich, the former FBI agent who authored a best seller concerning the criminal activities in Clinton's White House, is launching a campaign to expose Reno for the criminal she is. It seems he's convinced that huge amounts of money will be shipped to Reno from the other Red phonies in Follywood. Remember that little Red twerp, Martin Sheen, plantin' one on her? Yuk!

O'Reilly is ticked at Florida Governor Jeb Bush because of scandals involving his socialist child protective service. "Governor Bush and Cardinal Law are powerful men. They can get things done. They choose, choose [emphasis] to let things get out of control." [The O'Reilly Factor - "Talking Points Memo" - August 15, 2002.]

So former FBI agent Gary Aldrich has offered to appear all over Florida, and offered to speak and reveal to voters the unbelievable criminal activities of his former boss. Why? With all that Red cash coming out of Follywood, and the fact that Bush's brother led The Algore by 20 points in Florida before the presidential election, yet almost lost to the buffoon from Tennessee in that state, there is now a real possibility that Reno will become the next governor of chad paradise. Let's hope so! ***
