Great, now WorldNetDaily is calling all citizens to assasinate the President.

Some people are really getting pretty scary. We need more FBI and Secret Service agents, NOW !

No matter what the President does to citizens or the country, it is OK.

BJ Clinton feels our pain!

The Dow is above 11,000!

Wrong.

I find it very difficult to see any likeness of Caesar in Bubba. Bubba seems less a man than Caesar and of considerably less talent and intelligence. Nor do I see a likelihood of the troops rallying behind Bubba. He isn't one of them nor is there any indication that they can be rallied to topple the republic. The essay seems contrived at best. It does not give us any real insight into Bubba's heart and mind.

That's not to say that there's no danger. Bubba could find himself in the right place and right time if things were so bad that an election was delayed. Or the people felt that it would be best that he should stay in office a little longer. Bubba might be feeling lucky; he might be feeling real lucky. But such dangers to the republic seem highly unlikely at best-- like a bump in the road or a three day winter storm.

It does not appear, however, that this poor writer is now encouraging us or representatives to repeat with Shakespearean drama... Et tu Tom Daschle? Nor is it in the wind. This poor writer reminds us that even Caesar's death could not restore the Republic. And, though, men and women cannot resist the temptations of ambition and opportunities, our republic continues along-- or, at least, it continues to hobble along.

I will endeavor to hope that it shall hobble along a bit further. I am less confident, however, that the ship will weather the storm well. Who will die and who will lose their fortunes is a more tragic drama that may unfold. Bubba had his chance to redeem his presidency, but he failed to ready us for the storm. Obviously, he's no Churchill either.

Foil,

You are scary! I read the whole article -- learned some history that Shakespeare didn't tell me about -- but didn't see any mention of Clinton.

You been helping BillyBob sniff white stuff? You are having serious halucinations!

Stan,

(Thunderous applause)Exactly. Clinton may well have Ceasarean ambitions (wouldn't be the first or the last), but he's hardly in a position to pull it off. Despite assertions to the contrary, he is only popular with Jane and Joe average. The media has done little to sheild him (I know every speck of body fluids on the infamous dress, and all the sordid details about what new and innovative things there are to do with a cigar and I did not get that from a conspiracy-talking web site, it was from good old CNN and MSNBC), the military regards him as an embarrasement, as do beltway-insider politicians. Even fellow democrats talk in terms of how to distance themselves from him, in preparation for the next election. If Clinton leads an army, to take over the country, the irony is, it would have to be an army of the people.

Clinton is simply an anomaly. The majority of Americans, for various reasons are willing to look the other way, in regards to his many and meaty sins.. Maybe it's the "I feel your pain" bit. In a cold world, a little empathy, even if it's faked, can go a long way.

Certainly you realize that WorldNetDaily is part and parcel of the VRWC. The article could have just as easily been made to fit JFK. He used drugs like he was Elvis, was an oversexed womanizer, had connections in the Mob and high finance, and plotted murders (Castro at least). Yet folks think he was the finest example of a President in history. And his succesor was even worse...

Note that I am not condoning Clinton's exploits. I'm just pointing out that there are multiple agendas at work here. Don't be suckered into thinking you've figured it all out.

Foil:

Perhaps you should take a remedial reading course. Nowhere in the article was assassination of politicians called for. Please keep your silly and uninformed words in your mouth, not the mouth of the article writer.

If the President really "feels our pain", why can't he take that nice budget surplus and return it to his overtaxed "subjects". Social Security is going to tank no matter what. As for the deficit, why can't we get a handout from the IMF? Everyone else does...

-- Gia (laureltree7@hotmail.com), September 03, 1999.

Yea, that's the ticket, we need a handout from the IMF.

Did my attempt at humor go awray? :(

Gia,

There is no "surplus". It's all smoking mirror's.

Are you saying they LIED to us?!?!?! Shame on you. :)
