Bill

I really don’t understand why people put former President Bill Clinton on top of a pedestal to be worshiped for what he has done for this country.  Quite simply put, Bill Clinton committed adultery.  How people can praise such a man and not admonish him is beyond my human understanding, which folks may therein say I have little.  It’s not to say that the former President Bill Clinton is the only leader, of this here free world, to commit such a lurid act of adultery.  Some of the greatest leaders of America have committed adultery, like Thomas Jefferson (it was technically rape, as he did it with his slave who had no choice in the matter) and John Kennedy (who did it with Marilyn Monroe - coincidentally ‘found dead‘), yet today the people praise their deeds all the same.

It’s one thing to say that these leaders abilities were not compromised by their sexual actions, but it’s another thing to say these leaders were good human beings.  People need to understand that it doesn’t take a good person to make a good decision, that in fact a bad person can make what the people may pervieve as a good decision all the same.  Though, it is the fact that we somehow accept bad people to make what we may perceive as good decisions that, in the end, makes us a screwed up people (to put it simply, I tried to put it complicatedly but I couldn’t think of anything that made sense).

To merely think that we as a nation, a body of peoples, may elect a good-hearted person to carry out a deed that one could perceive as transcendental in nature, that is to say the Presidency, seems to be beyond the scope of human imagination, at least mine as we discussed before.  Yet here I sit typing these words wondering, if not aloud, whether if ever such a thing could happen.

My argument stands that it’s one thing to get divorced and then go about with other people, but it’s an entirely different thing to do such sexual things with another person while still married.  Doing so shows that the human being lacks the willpower or ability to make the relationship work, or on the other side of the coin lacks the courage to end the relationship.

For the people of this county who believe in the righteousness of Bill Clinton, you have to ask yourself, would you explain to your kid the biography of Bill Clinton?  Would you build this man as a character by which your children could look to for knowledge and understanding?  How would you explain that part where he had oral intercourse (for lack of a cleaner word or phrase) with his assistant (or assistants as it seems)?

It may be so, that there are other leaders out there (including those of present) who may be of good character but ill minded in the decision making department.  I could quarrel with them the same way I do with Bill Clinton, but in the end a leader’s measure of character out weighs their decision making abilities.  In the end, by no accident of our Constitution, it is not the leaders who choose to make the decisions, it is in fact the people who choose the leaders who make the decisions.  Therein to be fair I say, ‘just as much as it is our fault for choosing a man with bad character, Bill Clinton, it is rightfully so our fault for choosing a leader with bad decision making skills.’

In a sense, if you are unable to fully digest my diatribe, I would say this, ‘Bill Clinton needs to shut up and head in the direction of the nearest sunset just as much as Bush and Co. need to take a permanent vacation.’

(On a side note, I would expect the latter half of this not to make too much sense considering the lateness of the hour, but if it does - all the more better :)
