Would God lie to us ?

 I guess there is no fool like a fool for God ! Dean Merrill,

    vice president of the International Bible Society, wrote President

    Clinton - who at least tells the truth most of the time - that he

    betrayed his own leadership of the country when he lied about the Monica

    naughtiness.

            Mr. Merrill must take the WORD OF GOD very seriously . But

    God must be a more brazen liar than Bill Clinton - if HE is the source,

    the AUTHORITY behind the Good Book .

            If lies were made of dynamite , the Holy Bible would blow up a

    whole city every time a credulous believer opened it !

         Let us pray that the crackpot Religious Right does not drive a

    democratically elected president , the Honorable Bill Clinton, from high

    office.

           The Truth shall KEEP us free !

The last time I was inside the Nathanael Greene Homestead -

    recently vandalized by scumbags ( Providence Journal, Jan.4 , page C6 ) -

    it was , I recall very well, as guest of young Thomas Greene , the

    descendant of the famous general, second in command to George Washington

    during the Revolutionary War. At least a spark of Nathanael , I see,

    survives in Thomas , now president of the homestead's board of directors :

          " Those robbers better thank their lucky stars they're not within

    arm's reach . "

             This same Thomas Greene was a very well liked member of our

    Conversational Spanish class at Community College of Rhode Island . It

    was taught by Olga Ingelse ( forgive any misspelling ) . The class

    members went their separate ways about 20 years ago. But we spent

    the last day as guests of Thomas Greene at the old homestead of

    the illustrious General Nathanael Green . It was a very pleasant

    end to Conversational Spanish.

           I recall Thomas telling me after an amateurish " lecture ",

    that I had some flair for dramatics.

           Without any dramatics, I hope people will donate generously

    to make up for the $1500.00 stolen in tools  that were needed to

    keep up the homestead. History belongs to everybody !

"High crimes and misdemeanors" ?

 In the Providence Journal, Jan. 2, in the Commentary page

    vociferous " Voices around the nation "  continue to refer to

    the " President's lack of integrity and honor " and how he  " must

    be tried for his high crimes and misdemeanors ".

          Do these people know something that ordinary American citizens-

    not lacking in integrity and honor - do not know or refuse to know ?

          Isn't even a president entitled to a fair trial in which " high

    crimes and misdemeanors " can be established beyond a shadow of a doubt ?

         Does anybody get to serve on a jury in this country who loudly

    proclaims his contempt for the accused , his predetermined conclusion

    of GUILT ?

            In the court of public opinion - which cannot be disdained in

    a genuine DEMOCRACY - President Clinton is already NOT GUILTY of any

    impeachable offense . Just yesterday we learned that he is 1998 's

    " Most Admired " man !

            It follows from this that the LEAST ADMIRED people in the nation

    are those vicious and reckless Republican Congressmen who voted to

    impeach Bill Clinton.

            Indeed so odious are they that someday in Washington D.C. a

    monument might be built to their SHAME !

Is Clinton the anti- Christ ?

    Not to my dismay I read on the front page of the Boston

    Globe this New Year's morning : " Most Admired " ( under picture of

    President Bill ) . But then I wondered about the editorial in my

    still indispensable Providence Journal : " Prepare for the end " .

          I must ask the Projo editor : Is "  Most Admired " choice for 1998

    a clear sign of THE END ?   I know the Religious Right had Bill's

    number as the Anti-Christ when he began his presidency with a national

    health care plan .

            I think Bill Clinton is one of those rare politicians with

    the Elvis Touch . The GOP hound dogs will never get him !
