Bill Clinton - The Immoral Moralist

While visiting China on September 11th, former President and intern lover Bill Clinton stated "I think it should be a cautionary tale for Americans, for Chinese, for people all across the world to remember what really caused this horrible act is that these people became gripped with the madness of believing that they were so right and the rest of us were so wrong that they could kill totally innocent people in pursuit of their political objectives."

Bill's biggest mistake is speaking on moral beliefs in the first place. He should really stay with subject matters for which he has some basic understanding. His second mistake is equating religious belief with a "political objective." Bill, terrorists aren't trying to win an election, they want us dead because they see us unholy, evil and worthy of their wrath. Do I agree with them? Not even close, but Bill, some people believe in things to the point that they are willing to die for them. If I equate you with Satan, no amount of focus groups, political correctness or multi-cultural education is going to change the fact that I think you're Satan. If its a religious belief, then the change must come from within the religion, not from an exterior, political stance. Its like fighting a naval battle with tanks... wrong weapons for the wrong battle.

Clinton continued further in his speech to dismiss the concept of an absolute truth. As a Catholic, I was offended by that dismissal. My faith is based on some absolute truths. All faiths are... these truths are not up for discussion or reinterpretation... some things are just morally wrong.

Unfortunately for Poor Ol' Bill, he's never believed in anything. He lives in a world without right and wrong, but of legal and illegal, of what you can get away with and what you can't. Its so transparent that he is incapable of comprehending a world where someone could believe in something so much that they would sacrifice their life for it. Such as God. Or your country. Or your family. Lets take a look at Clinton's record on these examples:

• God... sure, he visits churches during campaigning, states he's a believer, yet openly desecrates the sacremental vows of marriage by justifying infidelity. When faced with the sacriment of marriage, the man can't keep his fly zipped up.
• Country... This coming from a man who avoided Vietnam by going to England and then speaking out against the war. Enough said.
• Family.... Here's a man who justified cheating on his wife by having "non-sex" sex with an intern. Its obvious he only believes in himself and I don't know of anyone who would die for him... wait a minute, there are some Secret Service that would bite the bullet for the horny old man, but that's part of their job description.

In the future, I wish former President Clinton would excuse himself from speaking on faith, morals or values. He sounds like a blind man speaking on painted works of art. Leave the moral discussion to those who have them, Bill.
