Former President Bill Clinton, obviously irked at being temporarily upstaged by a senile Jimmy Carter, has
surfaced again on Meet the Press to claim that the same "vast right wing" conspiracy that targeted him over
the Monica Lewinsky affair is now after Barack Obama. Carter, who recently argued that all criticism of
Obama is based in racism, had momentarily stolen center stage in the political theatre of the absurd, and
Clinton clearly felt that the only way to snatch it back was to make an equally controversial claim and to do
so on national television.
To listen to these prominent Democrats rail against their political opponents. one would suppose that they
must all be addicted to pharmaceutical sleep aids. How else could they possibly get any shuteye with so many
Nazis, Ku Klux Klanners and other free radicals prowling the land? Bill Clinton, aided and abetted by wife
Hillary, sought to distract the nation from his infidelity by claiming that a faceless fascist throng, led by
Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr, was actively seeking his political demise. Seeing his claims as a pathetic
attempt at misdirection, Americans could hardly wait to get Clinton and the Democratic party out of office,
handing the leaders of the so-called conspiracy an overwhelming mandate in the next election. Proof that
conspiracy works, according to the Clintons.
But in the cold light of day, Americans must evaluate such conspiracy theories for what they are: a colossal
misdirection to distract attention from failing policies, mendacious arguments and dirty politics on the part of
those crying foul. It is, after all, the only face-saving alternative to rescue their mounstrous egos from the fact
that America is rejecting their policies, their behaviors and their political philosophy simply because they do
not agree with them. It would seem the principle is that when dissent reaches critical mass, it must be the
hallmark of conspiracy.
And so, when Michael Moore makes a film mocking capitalism, that's just art and free speech. But when
Americans express outrage at Democratic healthcare plans and spending boondoggles at town hall meetings
they are mere "asttroturf," or "brown-shirted Nazis." When socialist billionaire George Soros seeks to buy
elections and put up his own private money to publicize the administration's policies, it's just self-expression,
but when biggovernment.org releases videos exposing ACORN as crook-advising, tax cheating, HUD fleecing
thugs, it is libelous. When the New York times runs moveon.org's full page commercial accusing a fine
American general of betraying the nation, but steers carefully around major coverage of communist, racist
Obama "czar" Van Jones and the emerging ACORN scandal it's no problem, but when Fox News covers them
in depth it is misuse of the airways, abuse of the public trust and proof that the network is nothing but the
mouthpiece for right wing radicalism. In other words, "ours doesn't stink, but yours does."
It was Abraham LIncoln who wisely said, "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people
all the time. but you can't fool all the people all the time." Apparently the Democrats prefer P.T. Barnum's maxim
that "there's a sucker born every minute." But as Lincoln knew, the intelligence of the American people should
not be underestimated, nor lapses in gullibility mistaken for permanent abdication of patriotic duty. It is true
enough that America has been temporarily mesmerized by a pretty face. But the increasingly panicky protestations
of Clinton, Carter, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and other leaders of the left that seek to portray Obama as a victim
of a senseless, racist, Nazi mob of conspirators has begun to fall on deaf ears. The folly of their deficit spending,
spcial giveaway, unendning bailout, freedom restricting, debate stifling, private sector invading, socialist mentality is
catching up with them. Americans are beginning to "get it" by the millions, and what the Democrats have mistakenly
labeled a "vast right wing conspiracy" is, in fact, just freeedom in action. It's a "vast American conspiracy" to get
rid of stupidity, waste and frayd in government and finally kick the avaricious politburo in Washington out of our
private lives. Vive le conspiracie!
