Pacific Free Press was launched in March 2007 by Dutch-Canadian Richard
Kastelein of V.O.F. Expathos, in the Netherlands along with Chris Cook- CFUV radio journalist and Editor in Chief of Pacific Free Press. Cook is based in , Victoria, British Columbia.
The site is a sister to Atlantic Free Press and Brick Ogden an American Expatriate in Amsterdam has been a key supporter of this project.
The mission of Pacific Free Press is simple: to dig out nuggets of truth from
the slag-heap of lies, ignorance and witless diversion that has buried
public discourse today. Pacific Free Press provides a new venue for
disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the
harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.
So, the Democrats have a majority in Congress. The bad times are over. The
evil ones have been vanquished. Let's go ahead and declare world peace, an
end to global warming, and‹while we're at it‹the cancellation of The
O'Reilly Factor. I mean, what could be better, right? Hmm, we could also
have a Democratic president to go along with a Democratic Senate and
Democratic House. Can you say Hillary Rodham Clinton, boys and girls?
Imagine that: A pinko by the name of Clinton running the White House with a
merry band of liberals calling all the shots in Congress. How grand it would
be...
Well, if you want a good idea of how things may go under the above scenario,
you might want to reflect back upon the years of 1993 and 1994 because
that's when President William Jefferson Clinton was enjoying the "advantage"
of a Democratically-controlled Congress.
In just two years, the notorious liberal managed to abandon his pledge to
consider offering asylum to Haitian refugees, renege on his promise to "take
a firm stand" against the armed forces' ban on gays and lesbians, and back
away from his most high-profile campaign issue: health care. He also signed
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), increased the Pentagon
budget by another $25 billion, fired Jocelyn Elders, dumped Lani Guinier,
ordered the bombing of Iraq and the Balkans, renewed the murderous sanctions
on Iraq, ignored genocide in Rwanda, deported hundreds of thousands of
"illegal" immigrants, and passed a crime bill that gave us more cops, more
prisons, and 58 more offenses punishable by death. (All this came before the
much-hyped Republican "revolution" in 1994. Can someone please explain to me
why the right wing didn't like this guy?)
Then we have the environment-allegedly Bill Clinton and Vice President Al
Gore's domain. In 1996, David Brower, former president of the Sierra Club,
penned a Los Angeles Times op-ed entitled, "Why I Won't Vote for Clinton."
In this piece, Brower offered a litany of Clinton administration moves,
which utterly smashed the public image of Bubba and Gore as
"pro-environment." Some of these moves include: The passage of the salvage
logging rider, the continuation of the use of methyl bromide, the weakening
of the Endangered Species Act, the lowering of grazing fees on land,
subsidizing Florida's sugar industry, weakening the Safe Drinking Water Act,
reversing the ban on the production and importation of PCBs, and allowing
the export of Alaskan oil.
These, and other proud Clinton/Gore accomplishments, led Brower to declare
that the dynamic Democratic duo had "done more harm to the environment in
three years than Presidents Bush and Reagan did in 12 years." That's Bush
the Elder he's talking about, of course. As for Bush the Lesser, consider
this: the total logging cut in national forest during his first three years
of Dubya's reign was less than the annual logging cut in national forests
was under Clinton (Bill, not Hillary).
This story had both a moral and a lesson to be learned, if we are willing to
hear it before 2008. There is one primary difference between the Democrats
and Republicans: They tell different lies to get elected.

You are right. Don't let anybody tell you different. The Clintons are not Democrats. They're Southern Democrats, which means they're more conservative than most Republicans. The GOP hated the Clintons because the Clintons usurped the GOP's agenda, leaving Dole, Gingrich, et al. nothing legitimate to bitch about.
