I usually get some negative reponses when I'm openly critical of Bill
Clinton.  However, it scares the wits out of me when I realize that
Bill Clinton will probably be in office as the world plunges into the
Y2k crisis next year.  Don't email me to say the Clinton scandal isn't
a Y2k issue.  It is.  Leadership is a most critical issue in the face
of ANY crisis, and especially Y2k since the woefully unprepared
government has one of the biggest Y2k problems around.  The included
message below will hopefully wake up a few more folks to the
seriousness of the problem in the Whitehouse.  Unfortunately, Clinton
is just the tip of the lousy leadership problem iceberg.

The letter below was written by sixteen-year-old Christopher Vincent.=20
It appeared in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, and was picked up and
read by Chuck Colson on his national radio show, "Break Point." Colson
called the letter "brilliant." I agree with Chuck Colson--the letter
below is well worth reading to your friends, sending to your local
Editor, or sharing with any small groups you belong to.

---begin included letter---

RE: Character Matters, says 16-year-old To the Editor:

I am 16 years old. Though I am not old enough to vote, I am writing
this on behalf of my generation. The recent speech by the President
and the reaction of our nation to it gives me reason to write this
letter in hope that those who read it will be challenged to look
closely at the condition of our nation.

In the President's speech he admitted to having a relationship with
Monica Lewinsky that was "improper" and "wrong." Then he said that it
was time to move on.

Many people have said that the President's private affairs are his own
business and people should not pry. Others have said that the
President's private affairs do not affect the job he does. The
President himself touched lightly upon the supposed injustice of
prying into his personal life in his speech.

Hugo Grotius once said that a man cannot govern a nation if he cannot
govern a city, he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family,
he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself, and he cannot
govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason.

The President is accountable to the people. We must know whether he
can control himself or not. If the President cannot control himself,
he certainly is not capable of governing a nation. Yet we sit in our
selfishness and refuse to look at the truth because it does not feel
good. We look at the nation and see a booming economy. We look around
and see prosperity and say, "Why should we mess this up?"

And yes, Mr. Clinton has helped with all these things. But there are
better things than financial security, and there are worse things than
poverty.

We give the control to a man who can make us feel good but cannot
control himself.

I would like to call your attention to a recent international affair
where Pakistan and India were developing nuclear weapons. The
President offered a deal to Pakistan saying that if they would stop
developing nuclear weapons the United States would protect them in the
case of an attack. The Pakistani minister of foreign affairs said that
he did not believe that the President (Clinton) would follow through
on his promise. This was because he saw the character of our President
and realized he could not be trusted. This endangered the lives of the
citizens of Pakistan and India, more than 900 million people.=20
Although war has not broken out, we must heed the warning: the
character of the President effects the entire world.

The American people have chosen to become selfish, and my
generation--your children--are growing up seeing the highest authority
in America, a man who cannot control himself. Why should I put others
first when the President himself will not even put his duty to his
wife or his nation before his sexual desires? I'm asking you, the
generation that holds the voting power, to think of your children and
the future of the world. If we cannot trust our President to fulfill
his marriage vows, can we trust him to do what he has promised us?

And if we cannot trust the man our parents elect, can we trust our
parents? You owe it to the world, you owe it to God, and you owe it to
your children to consider this.

// Mistaken Belief:  The USA is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy //

I'm on a bit of a patriot tear today, so I'm throwing in this section
as a free bonus...

The talk show host of my favorite radio show (who seems to be ignoring
his on-the-air statement over 100 days ago that he'd do a show on
Y2k), recently stated that we live in a Democracy.  An astute caller
managed to get through the busy phone lines and attempted to set the
record straight.  Apparently many people are cluess about our own form
of government.  Below is some information from "Inform America" at
http://www.informamerica.com/ that will help inform and educate folks
about this issue.

---begin insert---

Many Amercicans mistakenly believe we live in a democracy. After all,
doesn't our own president keep referring to America as a "democracy"
whose job it is to make the whole WORLD "safe for democracy"? The FACT
is that America is NOT a democracy and never HAS been. America is a
REPUBLIC. Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states: "the
United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a
REPUBLICAN Form of Government". You pledge allegiance "... to the
REPUBLIC for which it stands UNDER GOD..." The word "democracy" does
NOT appear in the Constitution, the constitutions of any of the 50
states, or the Declaration of Independence.=20

ALL democracies throughout history have died when a majority of the
public realized they could vote themselves their "FAIR SHARE" of the
benefits from the public trough. Samuel Adams, Father of the American
Revolution, stated: "Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes
itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide".
It's not America's job to make the whole WORLD "safe for democracy".
Democracy isn't SAFE ! It's America's job to defend and protect our
constitutional God Given/Inspired REPUBLIC.
