W's State of the Union & Even More About Ford

A guy in the Citizen's Voice today wrote a letter pointing out something I've always wondered about: Why was it all that good for Ford to have pardoned Nixon? Didn't it give the impression that individuals in positions of extreme power & authority must not be held accountable for their actions? Has the country really been in better shape because of this attitude? W., of course, is the perfect example of precisely this very approach to government, a direct political descendant of Tricky Dick. In last night's State of the Union address, he promised to get us stuck in Iraq for a long time, not to get out. Of course, Iraq, is different from Viet Nam in the sense that the Viet Cong never set out to rule the World. The moslems, though, are looking for absolute world domination. I read in the American Legion's magazine that we can all thank that other super_genius, Jimmy(Billy's big brother)Carter for having forcibly ousted the Shah from Iran in the late '70's & welcomed in the monster Ayatollah who referred to the U.S. as the Great Satan. Since then, islam in the Middle East has gotten the upper hand over us all.
