>> The present administration has corrupted and politicized every
>>aspect of the national government. This is especially true of the secret
>>police agencies. It is also true of the courts and the justice
>>department. If the present gang of thugs are re-elected, there is not
>>going to be any check on their activities. This bodes very ill for
>>ourselves and our liberties. We saw the Brady's there on the podium. We
>>saw Waco. If we let them stay, we are next. This bunch has already
>>shaken off scandals that would have brought down any previous government.
>>After this election, we will have no other check on them. They will call
>>all the shots. The press covers their butts like a diaper. The
>>investigative agencies are corrupted. The courts are corrupted. It even
>>appears that the intelligence agencies are in the same sorry fix. How
>>then, are the Clintons to be brought to justice? How are we going to
>>maintain what little remains of our liberties?

>I would add the following modifier: this is the base problem.

>I believe that we are at a juncture where the rule of law is at stake.

>Do the laws of the land apply to all, irrespective of individual
>party politics and individual power?
>
>Do they apply to the intelligence agencies, when gross moral violations,
>like massive drug-running, have occurred? (We aren't talking fine points
>of covert operations here.)

>I think that for the long term health of the Republic, the best thing
>that could happen would be a Clinton victory, re-election of Republican
>majorities in House and Senate, and full scale investigations into the
>CIA drug running, drug money corruption in the banking and political
>systems, and the Clinton's felonious behaviour in raising political funds,
>burying bodies, and just plain doing what it takes to consolidate power.
>
>What happened to Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and William Colby? Why is
>Clinton's Lasater connection brushed under the rug? What about the
>bit players (Furgeson and Jerry Parks) who have turned up dead?
>
>If Bush (former CIA director) gets dragged into this mess, then so be it.
>Ditto for Ronnie Reagan. If Ollie North's diaries implicate others, then
>too bad. Nothing but a fully energized Republican Party, willing to push
>the law to the brink of a Constitutional crisis is going to resolve any
>of this. If he has got the evidence, let Starr step up and bring down
>a standing President.
>
>The legislative control of the TLA's is an issue that has recurred for the
>past 40 years or so. Its time for a gloves off rehash of these issues,
>with at least the threat of impeachment raised as a real possibility.
>The Agency was making so much money on their cover operations and running
>so many private airlines that they were totally outside Congressional control
>in the late 60's and 70's. Well, its happened again in the 80's and 90's.
>
>The alternative is to slip a little closer to Banana Republic status, with
>two or three classes of people, all unequal before the law, "disappearances"
>and large flow of illegal money the norm.
>
>Remember, Nixon was re-elected by a landslide and Colson went to jail for
>improperly viewing *one* FBI file.

>P.S. I agree totally on the AR15 toting wannabees. The examples we've seen
>thusfar are a bunch of thoroughly infiltrated nitwits. I'll state right now
>that I know enough history to *run* from anyone expousing any kind of
>"revolution".
