PlanetOut reports that one of the women pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office had been serving time after being caught with 700 pounds of explosives that she admitted she planned to use in terrorist bombings. Yet another woman pardoned by Clinton was serving time for bombings carried out in the early 1980s to protest the U.S. invasion of Grenada.
I just don’t get Democrats. On the one hand, Ted Kennedy rips on the John Ashcroft for daring to suggest that the Second Amendment was created specifically to prevent government tyranny (which it clearly was as anyone who has read the Federalist Papers would realize). But then Clinton turns around and pardons a woman who participated in actual bombings, including a failed plan to bomb the U.S. Capitol.
In what weird universe does that make sense?
