Harboring A Pedophile?

It’s no secret that the Catholic church has been paying out millions in damages as a result of allowing pedophile priests to continue molesting innocent children. The church has a long history of harboring child predators and enabling them to continue to come in direct contact with their victims. After decades of sweeping these hideous secrets under the Catholic rug, the church has been forced to acknowledge, at least in the form of monetary compensations, that child sexual abuse has long been running rampant behind the secrecy of the pulpit. So, with all this said, what kind of self-respecting politician would allow an accused predator to be part of his organization? Apparently Rudy Giuliani because he’s hired an accused pedaphile to work in his consulting firm.

Although Monsignor Alan Placa has been accused by several altar boys and students of molestation during the seventies, Mr. Giuliani finds it acceptable to pay this man for his services. “I know the man; I know who he is, so I support him,” Giuliani said. “We give some of the worst people in our society the presumption of innocence and benefit of the doubt,” he said. “And, of course, I’m going to give that to one of my closest friends.” Right Mr. Giuliani, apparently you’re the only one left in the U.S. who knows that pedophiles are our friends, neighbors, relatives, teachers and clergy. Haven’t you been following the news lately?

Although several alleged victims have come forward, Mr. Giuliani isn’t taking this nearly as seriously as any responsible politician should. “This man did unjust things, and he’s being protected and employed and taken care of. It’s not a good thing,” said one of the accusers, Richard Tollner, who says Placa molested him repeatedly when he was a student at a Long Island, N.Y. Catholic boys high school in 1975.

At the very least Mr. Giuliani has a responsibility to look into the accusations made against his “long time friend”, the “honorable” Monsignor. It’s deplorable that any man, let alone a politician who is currently running for President of the United States, would blatantly ignore such serious charges. Perhaps Mr. Giuliani isn’t taking his political campaign nearly as seriously as he should be. I, for one, would never vote for a candidate who ignores his responsibilty to protect and serve those who’ve put him office.

A Word (Or Three) On Hillary Clinton

And now a word, actually three words, on Hillary Clinton: Can’t Stand Her. I’d vote for Hillary Duff before I’d vote for Hillary Clinton. Now, why would I say something like that about my very own New York State Senator? Well, for one, I, like many other women, would have had much more respect for her if she had kicked that philandering liar, Bill, to the curb. We’re supposed to believe that staying with Bill was a political decision she made on his behalf? Please…the decision to “stand by her man” was only meant to preserve her own political career.

 Ms. Rodam Clinton is a political, social and moral phony. Just recently, when she addressed a group of African-Americans in a Selma, Alabama church, Hillary suddenly adopted a pronounced Southern accent. This was clearly a desperate ploy to attempt to connect with her audience. Does she think the African-American community is so ignorant that they can’t see an opportunistic white woman talking down to them?

We are suddenly expected to believe Ms. Clinton (is it Rodam Clinton or just Clinton or does it just depend upon what mood Hillary is in or what audience she’s speaking to?) has turned away from her college days as an ultra-liberal to a now more moderate political view?

At one point, in the ’90′s, Hillary made the ridiculous statement that she “could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas”, but instead she pursued her political and career goals. Oh no she di-int! Them’s fightin’ words missy. Want to lose the women’s vote much? And writing her autobiography, “Living History”, was a thinly veiled attempt to prevent damage control when the questions hit the proverbial fan. This way she doesn’t have to answer any questions, she can just tell us all to go read the book.

So, let’s recap: Hillary has a phony marriage, phony political views, a phony accent and a misguided view of women (although I’m pretty sure she is one). I, for one, don’t want a flaky fake in the position of making major political decisions in the midst of a global war on terrorism. Bill…quick…get me my book so I know what decision I’m supposed to make now and get off that intern!
