Attack Sub
Lieutenant in a Bethlehem, PA newspaper.
In January a new President will be sworn in as the
forty-third President of the United States, thus ending the most disgraceful and
scandal-ridden Presidency of the past two hundred and twenty-four years of our
nation. This gives cause for a celebration and a reflection upon things that I
never, ever again will have to be witness to.
For those West Point, Naval Academy and Air Force friends
of mine, I recognize the pain that you in particular have endured these past
eight years with this loathsome Commander-In-Chief in the White House. To my
honest, hard working friends and family members who value honesty and integrity
among our elected officials, you have endured more than United States citizens
should ever have to endure. But alas, in January, the thoroughly disgusting and
shameful occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will be cast aside and hopefully
forgotten by the nation that he has so terribly dishonored.
In order to celebrate his upcoming departure I have
drafted the following piece which I have appropriately entitled, "Never
Again."
Never Again
Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton walk down
the steps of Air Force One while a proud Marine in full dress uniform crisply
salutes him. A Marine who fully comprehends duty, honor and country in a way
that the man he is saluting never will.
Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton on Veterans'
Day place a wreath on the hallowed Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while he
dramatically bites his lower lip in an effort to appear that he cares or even
appreciates what this place is all about. A place where truly brave men and
women who personally paid the ultimate price for freedom are forever
remembered.
Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton on national
television wag his finger at each and every American and unconscionably lie to
us.
Never again will I have to witness Bill Clinton sending
young men and women of the military into frivolous but life-threatening action
to deflect attention from the personal scandals that confront him at home.
Never again will I see Bill Clinton's name on a ballot.
Never again will I be embarrassed by Bill Clinton's
disgusting and abhorrent behavior with a twenty-four year old woman in the Oval
Office.
Never again will Bill Clinton have the power to conduct an
eight year "social experiment" with the United States Armed Forces,
driving the best out while systematically crippling the overall capability,
effectiveness and morale of the remaining troops.
Never again will I have to be embarrassed to say Bill
Clinton represents me, a proud citizen of the United States of America.
Never again will Bill Clinton be able to sell the historic
Lincoln bedroom to the highest bidder, the Chinese, felons, and other
disreputable characters.
Never again will I have to watch Bill Clinton departing
church with his equally pitiful wife, clutching an oversized Bible in his hand
as if to make us believe that he has repented for any of his misdeeds.
Never again will I have to see a joint session of Congress
rise to their feet in the Capital building when the deceitful and shameless Bill
Clinton enters the chamber. And finally,
Never again will I have to refer to Bill Clinton as
"President of the United States."
May God Bless America.
And on that day I'll stand and cheer unless his almost
equally loathsome VP gets elected.
