After rambling for several hundred words about the vast contributions of sodomites to US government Bubba concluded his proclamation with these words…
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2000 as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. I encourage all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that celebrate our diversity and recognize the gay and lesbian Americans whose many and varied contributions have enriched our national life.
"IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fourth.
Signed: WILLIAM J. CLINTON
COMMENTS BY ED DEVRIES: Did Bubba find time between bimbos to read the Constitution to which he referred in his "proclamation"? Has our illustrious Commander and Thief found constitutional authority for the issuance of such a proclamation?
NO, HE HAS NOT!!!!!
But just in case he had, I reread the Constitution today. According to that Grand document CONGRESS has the power to issue such a proclamation in the form of LEGISLATION but the executive branch (headed by the president) does NOT possess this authority.
The ONLY proper and LEGAL way to issue such a proclamation would be for 1- Congress to pass a bill making June the Federally recognized Sodomite Month 2- for the president to sign that bill into law. NEITHER has happened.
Even if it did - and I wouldn't put it past our sissy "Republican" congress or our sexually perverted president - the individual States would have no Constitutional obligation to observe such a law since it would deal with matters which Congress has no Constitutional authority to oversee.
So while Congress DOES have the authority to make such a law binding on all FEDERAL TERRITORIES (i.e. Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc. Congress does NOT have the Constitutional authority to bind the individual states to such a law. States would be at liberty to either observe or refuse observance.
I wonder if G. Dubya Bush supports this law? He probably does.
This boys and girls is your civics lesson for this week. So much for the once great Republic.
"The right of parents to raise their children as they see fit was upheld in a Supreme Court case this week. The court declared that parents have a 'fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control' of their children, and ruled June 5 that a Washington state law went too far in permitting a judge to order visiting rights for grandparents over a mother's objection.
Parents will have more clout in dealing with social workers in allegations of child abuse, and will force the government to show more deference to parental decisions in private education or home schooling, said Jordan Lorence, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund. 'They won't be able to override parents in those areas, or load up restrictions against them.'"
Comment by BIS editor Tim Stowe: If parents have the 'fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control' of their children then parents should not just have "more clout" in dealing with social workers. If parents REALLY have the 'fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control' then social workers should be OUT OF A JOB!
A church's lawn sign was carted off by the city. A crew from the Washington, D.C., Department of Public Works arrived at Lincoln Park United Methodist Church June 1, disconnected the new $5,000 sign, loaded it onto a flatbed truck and drove away, The Washington Post reported. On the sign were the words, 'Was it Adam and Eve or Adam and Steve?' and a reference to Genesis 2:18-25, which describes God creating Eve for Adam. . . Neighbors have campaigned for two months to get rid of the sign, saying it "screamed the church's moral teachings".
The church says it was not the sign, but what was on the sign that angered residents. "If the gay community can rally and have a movement to support their right to a cause, why can't we freely express our beliefs?" pastor Harold D. Lewis, Sr. said.
[Religion Today, June 8, 2000]
TCN - Freedom of speech is only granted to those who are politically correct; this is the American-socialist way. Had the church been promoting abortion, sodomy or globalism, they could have been granted monies to increase the size of their sign.
In the news this week, the Clintonistas are taking credit for news that violent crimes committed by perpetrators using guns are 35% lower now than in 1992. As with any news pertaining to the "gun problem," the administration paraded out a bureaucrat to call for additional gun regulations. "Despite our success, we must not become complacent," said Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder. "There are still 89 Americans, including 12 young people, dying every day from gunshot wounds."
Mr. Holder did not happen to mention that, while gun deaths are down, gun ownership is at an all-time high! "States with the largest increases in gun ownership also have the largest drops in violent crimes," says Yale University's John Lott. "Just as higher arrest and conviction rates deter crime, so does the risk that someone committing
a crime will confront someone able to defend him or herself."
The Federalist reviewed the latest Centers for Disease Control mortality statistics -- the official statistics used by Clinton and company -- and found a few additional facts worth mentioning. Regarding the accidental deaths of children from birth to age 14, the CDC lists: auto (2,608), drowning (1010), pedestrian (675), bicycle (201), and gun accidents (142). "It turns out that among all the causes of accidental deaths of children, the chances of death by a gun accident are the remotest," notes Walter Williams.
Gun homicides in the same age group totaled 346. As for Holder's claim of "12 young people, dying every day," he is including the 17-19-year-old gangsters and drug dealers -- who target primarily each other -- among the "young."
For all ages, of a population of 270,000,000, there were 13,522 homicides involving the use of a gun. Tragically, while blacks compose 12.8% of the population, they account for more than 50% of all homicides -- mostly black males killed by black males.
Interestingly, the CDC includes gun deaths by "legal intervention" or self-defense among the total cited above. The Federalist also inquired about the actual number of legal shootings in order to distinguish between those and illegal homicides, and the CDC declined to release that figure.

Mr. John Rocker made some stupid ethnic remarks and was suspended from baseball and required to attend sensitivity [AKA "re-education"] training. Football star Ray Lewis admitted to obstruction of justice after trying to cover up for a few friends who killed a couple of people, got a year probation from the court and is in line for a raise from the NFL.

Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, who fancies himself a contender for the Vice Prevaricator's Vice Prevaricator slot in the upcoming presidential election, told a congressional committee at last year's hearing on the Wen Ho Lee security scandal at Los Alamos: "I, me, I will run the department, not the fiefdoms that existed in the past. ... I would just ask you to let me run my department. Give me a year to see if I've performed. Call me up again, and I will appear again to see whether I have initiated the reforms that I said I had."
In the wake of this week's spy scandal (missing computer hard drives containing nuclear secrets from the "X Division"), Richardson was too busy addressing the National Press Club to show up and answer the Senate's questions about the "reforms" he initiated.
"I seriously wonder if we don't have better security at our Wal-Mart stores than you do at the Los Alamos labs," Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell said to the DOE lapdog who did show for the hearings. "The Congress and the American people have a right to ask what the devil this administration is doing to us."
"What the devil" pretty much sums it up!

I disagree with the 'throw us out' article. Although I think the republicans could have done more... they did impeach Bill Clinton; they did shoot down socialized medicine and several supreme court justice nominations. They fought Clinton legislation and tax increases, and they did all of what they did do with an ongoing full frontal assault by not only the Executive Branch of government with the backing of the Justice Department, but also the major media of America. It was the Perot vote that got Bill to Washington in 1992 and if Gore wins it'll be the Buchanan or Ventura vote that will get him elected to office.
TCN - Yes, the House did impeach Clinton, but the Republican-controlled Senate refused to do their duty and remove the skunk from power. In fact, their refusal confirmed his authority to do anything he chooses to do with impunity. TCN has no quarrel with the House that did their job faithfully and honorably. We would like to see many of these servants of the people take the place of the fat-cat insiders in the Senate, if other good Representatives can be found to replace them in the House.
As for Perot being the catalyst to Clinton's election, hardly. It was limp-wristed, spineless "Republicans" that were more concerned about their wallet than about doing the right thing at the polls. They bought the lie that Clinton was the reason for economic growth and winked at the obvious errors of his administration in hopes of personal profit.
If GW selects a less than pro-life running mate, NO true conservative will vote Republican.
"Nationalism remains a dirty word used by internationalists to describe backward nations who disagree with the interests set by global elites."
--Michael Patrick
"Summing up the Clinton presidency is not easy. But the president inadvertently described himself when attacking his critics: 'They have no guilt and no shame.' If there is a better epithet for Bill Clinton, it has not yet been written."
--Doug Bandow
"Until we begin to rediscover the national values that for centuries have allowed us to rise above our natures
and act as civilized men and women, our country will continue to suffer the steady deterioration in standards that disturbs us all."
--Rep. Tom DeLay
"If a second American Revolution is going to occur, it will be fought ... between those who wish to defend God and country against those who have no belief in God and no loyalty to any country."
--J.R. Nyquist
"Some blame President Clinton for the corroding of our culture. He has played a part, but he could not have done it without the public's acquiescence...."
--Cal Thomas
Government's job, according to Bush, 'is to change hearts.' That would certainly surprise our Founding Fathers, who once thought that government's job was to secure the individual liberties of its citizens. You see, changing the heart is the job description of churches, not governments."
--Cato's Jerry Taylor
"The problem the vice president has this week is that on March 15th he got on national television, he looked the American people in the eye. He made a bold political statement. A few months later when the polls go down he's backing off. This manipulation and deception has continued for 7 1/2 years. This is about honesty and trust."
--Rep. Lindsey Graham
TCN - Rep Graham is speaking of the use of soft money for running TV ads. Repeatedly Gore promised that the Democrats would not use soft money "unless and until" the Republicans used it. This week the Democrats ran the first ads. The Republicans will respond with their first soft money ads next week.
Two weeks ago it was reported that once the press got word of the Mayberrys' living conditions, Mr. Compassion (the Vice Prevaricator) promised to renovate the "house." This week, that offer has apparently gone the way of his promise not to use soft money to fund campaign advertisements.
"I'm packin' my stuff up, and they can take this house…," says Mayberry, who will be leaving her children with relatives while she and her husband sleep in their truck. "We ain't got the money for motels right now," she says, but after collecting her husband's disability check, they will be looking for another residence.
Can you imagine what the press would do with this story if Mayberry were a tenant of Vice President Dan Quayle? Former ABC White House correspondent Brit Hume notes: "[Gore] belittles the compassionate conservatism that is argued for by George W. Bush, and purports to be the real thing, the real man of the people, the real man of compassion. And yet you see this unattractive sight on his own property. ... The only thing more unattractive has been the behavior in this instance of the news media. Major networks have ignored the story. Most major newspapers have run only one wire story on it. It's a pretty darn good and compelling story."
