When Adolf Hitler consolidated his power over Germany, he *became*
Germany in the minds of many Germans. This was exemplified in a
speech where the speaker screamed dramatically, “Hitler ist
Deutschland!” (Pause, wild applause!) “Deutschland ist Hitler!”
(Hitler is Germany. Germany is Hitler.)
The German state, its people, its government, its entire infrastructure
then became embodied in a single man - Adolf Hitler.

On Thursday (10/14/99), American President
William Clinton held a press conference to display his anger at the Senate for NOT approving a Nuclear Test Ban Treaty which he already had signed. He attempted to politicize the Senate’s failure to approve the treaty he signed as President - as though every Democrat voted for it and every Republican voted against it. (Clearly we are entering the election period where the parties try vainly to differentiate the meager differences between them.)
I am not addressing the value of the treaty - we can save that for
another thread. But I received an e-mail quoting President Clinton from
this press conference. The quote was, "...Regardless of what the Senate
says, as long as my name is on the treaty, we (the United States) are
obligated to honor it..."
Interestingly enough, the San Antonio Express-News today devoted more
than 25 column-inches to this press conference but did NOT include this
bombastic quote!
The (e-mail) writer pointed out a Constitutional problem with the
President’s statement. In Article II, Section 2, among the powers of the
President, we find the following:
“He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate,
to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; ...”
If the President’s quote is accurate (and I have every reason to believe it
is true), we again have clear proof that President Clinton considers
himself above and beyond our Constitution. He believes he can obligate
the United States to treaties without the advice or consent of the Senate
- even over the Senate’s opposition! IF the quote is accurate, this proves
President Clinton is a megalomaniac!
If the President’s quote is accurate, it also proves again he is a liar.
Upon taking office, William J. Clinton swore on a Holy Bible, “I do
solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of
the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
So, IF the quote is accurate, we have proof our President is a lying
megalomaniac.

Where are the Democrats who will state publicly that our President is a
disgrace to his political party?
Where are the Republicans who will state publicly that our President is a
megalomaniac? He has, “1: a mania for great or grandiose performance.
2: a delusional mental disorder that is marked by infantile feelings of
personal omnipotence and grandeur.” (Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate
Dictionary)
Where is the outcry from our Senators, from our Representatives, from
our Governors, from our media, from our people? As of this writing,
there is none.
Our President is a dangerous, vain, megalomaniac, who apparently
believes “Clinton is the United States! The United States is Clinton!” But
he remains the current leader of the Democrat/Republican government.
Very few politicians dare “rock the boat”. With a few notable exceptions,
our politicians are all part of the same homogenous political structure,
carefully maintaining some pretense of opposing views which they
“compromise” for the “good” of our nation.
Very few members of the media dare “rock the boat”. They would be
expelled from “the inner circle” of political friends. As reporters, their
careers would be dead.
Therefore the American people are left with a homogenous government
and media, working together to make each other look good, while a
maniac binds our countries with foreign obligations over the mere
posturings of the guardians of our freedom.
Apparently it has become true. As voters continue to support the current
two-party political machine, as readers continue to support the servile,
socialistic media power structures, we all perpetuate the reign of
Republican/Democrat/media collusion that has created and continues to
support the conditions where:
“Clinton is the United States. The United States is Clinton.”
