However, this lunch is on the house if you don’t care about nuclear weapon design giveaways,
and are not concerned as to what may happen along these lines should the Clintons be reelected.

I know, I know. This is water over the dam, under the bridge, old hat, ancient history, and so, who cares? Well, you may want to give a few minutes thought to just how loose Ol’ Bill played with the nations nuclear secrets when he was “running” things. After all, Hill and Bill apparently come as pair, fused at the hip and, same as Costco packaging, you can’t get just one. So, if Bill does get a third term, even if only a virtual one at that, he will have influence and policy may be tipped in directions he prefers. After all, if Ms. Hillary is elected, we will have sailed into uncharted waters by having an ex-President as the spouse of the current office holder. Who knows what this could lead to?
When first elected, the freshly minted President Clinton appointed Ms. Hazel O’Leary as his first Energy Secretary. Over the course of the next four years, the span of Clinton’s first term, O’Leary did some very interesting things. At that time I was completely oblivious as to what she was up to and did not discover her shenanigans until 2002 when, while away at my self-imposed reeducation camp, I read an article by David Horowitz. Now, Mr. Horowitz has, as a reformed radical leftist, been sniffing out commies since the ‘70s. In his Salon article, he writes about how the Democrats have little, if any, scruples about placing known communist sympathizers in the most sensitive of national security jobs. Some of the stories are downright astonishing. What some public officials have done, with little or no consequence to themselves, can only be considered a frightening subversion of U.S. national security interest. More in just a bit. First, some additional background.
A man who had an opportunity to observe the Clintons close up, retired Air Force Lt. Col. “Buzz” Patterson, was for a period of two years one of the military persons assigned to carry the nuclear “football” that holds the nuclear weapons release codes. Now, as one of the persons assigned this duty, Patterson would always be within shouting distance of the President during his watch. One of the footballers is nearby the President 24-7, just in case we have to let somebody know we’re very seriously aggravated. Patterson wrote a book on his experiences as the President’s nuclear doppelganger that details his less than sterling opinion of Clinton in “Dereliction of Duty.” He has since written a couple of others critical of the left and their impact on national security.

Second:
Most notoriously, Clinton appointed an anti-military, environmental leftist Hazel O’Leary to be Secretary of Energy, a department responsible for the nation’s nuclear weapons labs. O’Leary promptly surrounded herself with other political leftists (including one self-described “Marxist-Feminist") and anti-nuclear activists, appointing them as her assistant secretaries with responsibility for the security of the nuclear labs. In one of her first acts, O’Leary declassified eleven million pages of nuclear documents, including reports on 204 U.S. nuclear tests, describing the move as an act to safeguard the environment and a protest against a “bomb-building culture.”
