In her “Hillary for America” campaign, Hillary Clinton paints herself
as a pro-American champion of the middle class and women. But does she really
live up to these claims?
Since her days of
supporting “Rules for Radicals” author Saul Alinsky – who advocated socialism to take down the
middle class – Hillary has
nurtured a long-simmering war against basic
American values like capitalism – a system that’s done more to lift people out
of poverty than any other in history. Yet in “championing” the middle class,
Hillary has vowed to wipe out the “One Percent”, starting with her campaign
attack on CEO income.
As part of the One
Percent herself, though, Hillary’s an odd choice to criticize income inequality
considering she makes six times the annual average household income per hour for her speeches, at $300,000 each. Hillary
received $8 million and $14 million advances for her two memoirs, respectively,
and since leaving the White House, has earned well over $100 million with her
husband.
How nice that “Hillary
for America” benefits immensely from capitalism, but wants to force un-American
wealth redistribution on everyone else at the expense of not just the wealthy,
but the middle class who would much less likely have the jobs the supposedly
evil (but now bankrupt) CEOs would otherwise provide.
Unlike the CEOs she
targets, Hillary doesn’t employ many people, nor produce anything except income
for herself. In Hillary’s socialist world, profiting from speeches and books is
good. Profiting from running a business is bad.
If Hillary really cared about average working people,
she’d campaign on reducing the regulation and taxation that have strangled our
economy for years, resulting in millions of lost middle-class jobs. But Hillary will play the class warfare card because
she knows it appeals to that ever-growing part of the electorate that votes on
emotions over facts, like the fact that her socialist policies would only hurt
the people she’s promising to help.
In considering her long list of baggage, though,
it’s hard to believe anything Hillary promises. Since her work on the Watergate investigation, where her then-supervisor Jerry
Zeifman described her as “an unethical,
self-serving, dishonest lawyer,” Hillary’s been at the epicenter of scandals. Space
doesn’t permit full detail of Chinagate, Travelgate, FBI Filegate, Whitewater,
Lootergate, the drug dealer scandal, Ponzi schemes, Vince Foster’s mysterious
death, etc., but the pattern of corruption trumps Hillary’s desire for our
trust.
As Senator, “middle class champion” Hillary
accomplished little more than to vote against middle-class tax cuts - twice. As Secretary of State, “Hillary for America” carried out
disastrous foreign policies resulting in global chaos and reduced national
security; committed serious illegal email activity; and denied repeated requests for
security to our U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, resulting in the murder of four
Americans. When questioned about that, Hillary notoriously hissed, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” I bet the
grieving loved ones would beg to differ.
In her latest
scandal, Hillary accepted millions of dollars from foreign countries for personal
profit through the Clinton Foundation while Secretary of State, allegedly in
return for preferential treatment to these foreign countries from her State
Department. Crookedness follows Hillary once again, who, by the way, dismissed
the allegation as a “distraction” without actually denying it.
So which traits do Hillary
supporters truly think would make her a good president? Or is the prospect of
the first female president all that matters (as long as she’s a Democrat)? No doubt Hillary will deliver great
gender-based soundbites designed to excite women. But is Hillary really
pro-woman, or just an ambitious power-seeker who’ll play the gender card to win
votes? Think about it.
Was Hillary pro-woman
when she defended the rapist of a 12-year old girl and then laughed about getting
him off lightly though she suspected he was guilty -- while depicting the
victim as a mentally unstable girl who engaged in romantic fantasizing? Is
being beaten into a five-day coma, as the victim was, Hillary’s idea of a
romanticized sexual experience? Imagine the
uproar had a conservative male presidential candidate done as “champion of
women” Hillary did.
As “pro-woman” Hillary
rode to the White House on her husband’s coattails, she viciously smeared,
investigated, and threatened the women who accused Bill Clinton of
philandering, sexual harassment and rape. To Hillary, it was all just “bimbo-eruption
management” and a “vast right-wing conspiracy”, despite
that Bill eventually admitted to most of the accusations.
When conservative
men, like Clarence Thomas, are accused of sexual harassment, outraged feminists
demand blood. But when Senator Bob Packwood, a
liberal Republican, was accused of sexual harassment, Hillary dismissed the
“whiny women” because she needed the famously pro-abortion senator on
healthcare.
Speaking of abortion, how is Hillary's rabid support for it really pro-woman considering the physical and emotional consequences of it, not to mention the fact that millions of future women never have been nor will be born because of it? Then again, when it comes to so-called "reproductive rights", Hillary doesn't believe women can manage it on their own. She believes other women must be forced to pay for it, even if it violates their deeply held religious beliefs (religious beliefs, by the way, that Hillary recently announced should be eliminated as "obstacles" to "reproductive rights".)
And finally, how
can Hillary claim she’s truly for “women’s rights” when she accepted millions
of dollars to the Clinton Foundation from Middle Eastern countries known for their abominable treatment of women, without
even denouncing their brutality?
Hillary talks a good gender game, but in her lust for the White House, she’ll flatter or discard women as she sees fit. When it comes down to it, the only woman Hillary truly advocates for is Hillary herself. Don't buy in to the garbage she's selling. We deserve better than this.

If we ever do have a female
president, shouldn’t it be one we can trust and be proud of, one who supports
all of America -- not just preferred groups through stale policies that hurt
all of America? How about we choose a president not because of gender, race or any other first, but because
he or she embodies true American values and integrity. That’s what our country
needs. We certainly don’t need Hillary.
If women are so stupid to vote for HIllary because of the female factor, it makes me question whether we should have even ever been given the vote. These women who will support her just because they want a woman president have absolutely no idea how bad Hillary would be for our country. She is even more extreme than Obama and look at everything that has already happened because of him. but then again most of these women probably arent even informed enough to know what Obama has done and so will have no clue what Hillary would do. Please fellow women: do your homework on this one. Please open your eyes.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Julie! It astounds me how many women I hear praise Hillary and then they can't even name the current Secretary of State. Ignorance is not bliss. It's what's leading our country to hell in a hand basket. Wake up people! If you're that bent on a female president, choose Carly Fiorina. Now she has something to offer. Look into it. Don't be a blind follower of the left. Like Sara said do your homework.
