Apparently Herman Cain may have sexually harassed some women back in the day<\/a>.\u00a0 Of course, back in the day that might have meant something.\u00a0 But you see, this is the PC period in American history.\u00a0 Not politically correct, but post-Clinton.\u00a0 Remember, during the later phase of the Clinton scandal, after he was forced to admit he had lied to America and falsely accused the GOP of lying about him, we were informed by our brightest and smartest that all this had to do with sex, and so was unimportant.\u00a0 It was sex.\u00a0 And with that, who cares?\u00a0 Why, pundits and supporters actually went on to insist we Americans needed to get with the times.\u00a0 Who cares about character, truth, perjury, values, morals?\u00a0 As long as Clinton was giving us the greatest economy in the history of the universe*, that\u2019s all we should care about, right?\u00a0 After all, it\u2019s the economy stupid!<\/p>\n

Never before has a single presidency done more to destroy the moral\u00a0fabric of American society than the Clinton Administration.\u00a0 He showed that a massive swath of our country was willing to sell its birthright for a bowl of stew.\u00a0 And ironically, it ended up losing that stew as many said we would. <\/p>\n

*FWIW, as early as 1998, some economists were suggesting our economy wasn\u2019t really that wonderful.\u00a0 They were concerned that much of the purchasing was being done on debt, personal and corporate debt, and if it didnt\u2019 turn around, everything could blow up in our face.\u00a0 But what did they know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
