Here's what's wrong with a Hillary presidency

Mrs. Bill Clinton is the leading Democrat candidate for the 2016 presidential race. As a man of nearly 62 years and a student of American history, Geopolitics and the Bible, I am astounded, yet amused, that this person and her husband remain the darlings of the Democrat party and the presumed heirs to the presidential office of these United States.

As a Rose Law firm employee in Arkansas during her husband’s tenure as the “honorable” governor of said state, she and he were entangled in several, lethal, curious deals and financial transactions.

When she became the first lady, while her husband Bill was our esteemed president, the “suicide” of their friend and lawyer, Vince Foster, and their multiple other escapades fostered entire books, written by journalists, former secret service persons and honest historians, describing in detail the havoc she and Bill wrought on the White House and the presidency of this most unique country in history. Those of you under 40 who are dying to vote for the “first woman” to be president...please do some honest research into the history and character of this couple.

Her tenure as a New York state senator, (when was it that she lived in New York and became a resident qualified to be its state senatorial representative?) is rarely examined as to what it is she actually accomplished. A direct question to her on this matter will get you...empty words.

A “clean cut,” as described by current VP, Joe Biden, black, rookie Senator “community organizer” from Chicago stole from her, her presumed rightful nomination for Democrat presidential candidate eight years ago. Some deals were obviously cut during that time and next thing we know, we have, “Madam Secretary.”

By any measure of honest historical observation her time as our United States Secretary of State was an abysmal failure. Please name for me and describe any secretary of state who rejected, or “never received” pleas from their diplomats for extra security in war torn parts of the world; especially in the months leading up to the very day of the anniversary of the infamous 9/11 attack on American citizens on United States soil?

Please share with me who it was that sent our Libyan diplomat to the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on that very day? Why was he there? What was his task that day? Where exactly were you, “Madam Secretary,” while he was being savaged? Where was our president? Why did you tell the world it was an unplanned random riot in response to an anti-Islam Web video that very few saw or even knew existed until after your claim? Why did you claim the same to the bereaved families of the slaughtered while their caskets, just off the Air Force jet, were displayed for the world?

Today we have a TV drama of the same name, “Madam Secretary” helping all who watch it understand how strong and wonderful Hillary truly is.

The Democrat party is relying on pure ignorance of the electorate and the enthusiastic help of the establishment news and entertainment media to get this person into the White House. She is clearly unfit. She has lied to us, the American people, since she came upon the political scene. Her progressive liberal ideology can easily be traced back to all the failures of all the progressive socialist regimes of the past... including our current administration. Hillary should be a fading haze on history.

Yet, just the other morning, the smiling sycophants on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” including, George Steph’ (former press secretary for the Clinton White House) now esteemed “journalist” and TV personality at ABC, interviewed Hillary as if nothing about her private email accounts and Benghazi, and her philandering husband mean a single whit. We will all be told over and over in the next year… “that’s all, old, right wing, partisan news that has been vetted and tried and everyone is tired of it.” I, for one, will pay no heed to the alphabet media’s stern admonition to, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” If that quote goes over your head… it’s too late.

Keep on dreaming, liberals; millions of us have lived it

In response to Mr. Bourget’s scathing yet entertaining rebuttal to my opinion piece from just before Thanksgiving, concerning Hillary Clinton; And now his most recent response to Mr. Miller’s recent opinion piece: Unless one sees the world through the lens of your eye, Mr. Bourget, and does not nurture oneself on the prescribed news programs and websites, dedicated to the valiant defense and preservation of Democrat / Obama / Clinton / Progressivism; I, and anyone like me are nothing more than spineless, brainless, “Jellyfish” provocateurs who are, with malice, knowingly and purposely spreading lies about Hillary Clinton, and Planned Parenthood, and ACORN, akin to Hitler’s senior propagandist, Herr Goebbels?

Let Planned Parenthood pay for abortion college

After the recent revelation of multiple "undercover" videos that show the underbelly and reality of the daily activities of Planned Parenthood, it appears this U.S. Government-subsidized entity may be breaking laws and behaving eerily like the Eugenicists of the 1930s and 1940s.
