The ANTI-HILLARY
The Definition of a Lady
She doesn't shout. She doesn't pout.
She dares to dream, but doesn't scheme.
She doesn't lie. She doesn't cry.
She doesn't whine. She doesn't pine.
She doesn't simper. She doesn't whimper.
She doesn't accuse. She doesn't excuse.
She doesn't seem to have an axe to grind.
In short she's really a great find.
How could we all not love her

Funny graphic! She'll likely not take up any of Trump's policy positions, of course.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Hillary just cut short her vacation in the Hamptons to get back to the campaign trail. Clearly she is concerned about the crowds flocking to Trump and, more to the point, Sanders. Not to mention that it looks as if Biden may be getting ready to run for the nomination.
I have to admit that famous "tonsorial arrangement" is more flattering to Her Heinous than it is to The Donald.
DeleteIF she were anywhere near as smart as her proponents have tried to make us believe, Hillary would CO-OPT Trump's "look" and wear it sedately without saying a word about it.
Fortunately, she and her "handlers" haven't enough wit among them to enact such a clever ploy.
Her essential dullness and complete lack of wit, style, grace, humor and good looks SHOULD sink her candidacy as much or more than her pathological penchant for perennial prevarication.
BUT the MACHINE wants her, and I'm very much afraid the Machine has become virtually Omnipotent.
I'm not convinced that the machine will win this time (that is, get Hillary on that ticket). Other forces, also of the machine, are in play, and those forces don't want Hillary on that ticket.
DeleteAnything can happen, AOW, there's no doubt about that, and all we can do is roll with the punches.

ReplyDeleteI pity the Democrates, Their worst nightmare come true.
Now that Hillary is Toast, what do they have left, a race between a Fool and a Socialist!. Two grade "C" candidates at best.
I'm sorry, DD, but I think it may too early to predict Hillary's demise as the democratic candidate for 2016.
DeleteI also think we ought to be careful what we pray for. Certainly Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren in the White House would be NO improvement whatsoever over Her Heinous. She at least Hillary is a FAKE leftist. Sanders and Fauxcahontas are the REAL DEAL.

(emphasis mine)
I have a theory. The farther right you guys go, the more you demand, the more operate with your ideology, the more you ignore reality and insanely insist we're becoming a socialist state like something out of Dostoevsky, the greater the eventual reaction will be. We should only wish we could have a guy like Sanders, because in the future we may get something that really makes you shudder - makes us all shudder. The fact that Donald Trump is polling 25% among Republicans means the modern American conservative movement is not only not modern anymore, it is like dead language with people just making up new words and pretending it is still alive. And the fact that Donald Trump polls 25% among Republicans means we better be more mature, realistic and careful with our rhetoric.
JMJ
Okay, Jersey, you're RIGHT. We SHOULD be more careful with our rhetoric. Let's start with you. I think you would communicate more effectively, if you quit using polarizing terminology like "you cons, you guys, you people, you clowns, you idiots, you morons," etc. as started using WE instead. Why? because, whether you like it or not, ALL of us are citizens with the guaranteed right to live and pursue happiness" as we see fit.
DeleteSocialism is not compatible with our Constitution, however, because it's insistence on EQUALITY of OUTCOME is dead set against the INDIVIDUAL'S right to fulfill his destiny as he sees fit.
Socialism may be voted in through the democratic process, but it ALWAYS ends up being enforced by AUTHORITARIAN-TOTALITARIAN regimes. It is therefore, quintessentially ANTI-AMERICAN, and in my opinion has no right to exist except to be STUDIED as an academic THEORY long ago proven faulty and unworkable by the bitter experience of the millions who've struggled under its oppressive yolk.

Education and public healthcare, the roads and bridges and public works of all kinds. Police are the ultimate example. You're taking a word - "socialism" - and like you cons did with "liberal," you turned it into a ridiculous caricature with no bearing whatsoever on reality. And you want to be called what? Sir?

ReplyDeleteWe delete mindless partisan BOILERPLATE and Hate Rhetoric.
DeleteWe'd rather see NO responses posted than MANY that are inappropriate.
The American people are aware of her lying, and we all know that she wasn’t even a good liar. The last thing that America needs is another president with a deceitful, arrogant, and even bullying behavior. This seems to follow Hillary like a perpetual rain cloud .
ReplyDeleteI think her time is coming to an end, or has already ended . She was almost frantic at that presser where she wore her orange pantsuit. Throwing her hands up in the air as she walks away from the press.
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wassermann Schultz. What will historians make of this rouge's gallery? How deep must the corruption be that these hacks are running the democratic party, and our country, and we get RID of them all? How can the media continue to act like Hillary is a legitimate presidential candidate? How can smart people in New York, Chicago, and LA look at these flakes and not question their party allegiance, or their love for America ? One of the biggest mistakes Republicans make is to ignore the behavior of these people. And not to capitalize on their foolishness failing liberal policies and sending us rapidly into third world debt status.
True enough, but I think we all need to realize that politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle are basically the same.
DeleteAll we need to do is give a good hard look what has happened as a result of the last two landslide victories for Republicans in congress to know that these so-called "victories" for "our" side essentially COUNT for NOTHING.
NO both sides are not the same, come on now let's call a spade a spade the republican part are now champions of The Irian Deal, of Obsmacare, of climate controls, of More gun control, and not of Planed Parenthood , and the list goes on.
DeleteIan, don't you realize you just made MY point?
DeleteAmerica, in the optics of corrupt politicians in both parties no longer matters. Money, influence, and power has become their gods, the holy trinity.
DeleteMake America Great Again an empty political slogan.
And the Founding Fathers weep.
"OPTICS?" What does that REALLY mean? Optics is a branch of Physics dealing with the study of how skillfully-crafted LENSES may extend, enhance and improve our perception of physical reality.
DeleteI spend much of my time translating back into standard English these foolish, misleading buzzwords invented by the enemedia, whose obvious wish is to maim, degrade and ultimately destroy our language.
In a word "POPSpeak," which is what the enemedia would establish as the New Standard, STINKS to HIGH HEAVEN.
Please resist it –– at least when you post here.
Thanks.
Understood, and you are correct with respect to optics.
DeletePoliticians view reality through distorted filters. Either the filters of their biased perceptions or the
filters they invest in in their pursuit of power.
Mistrust of the American political system in general has created a great cynicism
Thank you. You are right about the politicians –– on BOTH sides of the aisle –– and about the growing public skepticism and cynicism which is, I fee, too well founded.
DeleteAt her last Town Hall meeting, Hillary’s LIES came off well with many in the cheering crowd from Mexico, Albania, Somalia, and other lowlife, third world and Muslim nations
ReplyDeleteThere you have it, today’s modern Progressive Party. Do away with due process, change the Constitution, give anyone coming over the border, a better life, Food-stamps, Hospitalization, a cell-phone, stuff a few dollars in their pockets, take them out of their caves, and give them section 8 luxury apartment with swimming pools and their own separate entrances . That of course includes pregnant women, who already have 4-6 babies, and children that need schooling, and just say that these precious little people are too cute to send home... It's wonderful, but a very a very sick way, to run a country... . But i seems to work, and then Obama, and now Hillary will become their newest idol.
Oh, I don't know. ... Now that Hillary is doing her best to become a clone of Donald Trump, ;-) she may reverse herself on all that too.
DeleteShe hasn't so much as one sincere CELL in her body. She'll say and do ANYTHING if she thinks it might help her get back to the White House.
Now that's funny!
ReplyDeleteHillary is more likely to go the other way: Shave a big bald spot on the top of her head, adopt a thick 1940's Brooklyn accent, and talk about how she's always been a socialist...
Hillary Clinton is a corrupt, cronyist, liar who cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Even worse, she appears to have changed policies in curious timing with donations to the Clinton Foundations which funds much of their lavish lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteHow can she continue to pretend to represent the poor and middle class when she has been insolated and insulated from real people for decades. To her, being poor is having a mega-million book contracts, two million dollar homes, a lavish lifestyle of limos and private jets … and yet she claims the Clintons were broke.
Truth be told, the country – and the world – would be better off if she left politics and went to jail for her many violations of the law over the years

DeleteAnd the Dream Act sounds like another stupid Liberal idea that will go down as another FAILURE of Obama's to me.
ReplyDeleteOnly God know what else this disastrous man is going to come up with before we get RID of him..
Reply
The so-called Dream Act is one of the few liberal initiatives with genuine merit. It is worth examining thoroughly and discussed rationally. Do you KNOW what it is, or are you just railing against it, because it wasn't suggested by a conservative faction?
DeleteMindless, reflexive partisanship is one of many great evils we must do our best to combat.
The DREAM Act has failed to pass any Congress since the 2001 introduction of that act.
DeleteI see several good aspects to the DREAM act. However, we also read this:
If these requirements are not fulfilled the conditional resident will lose their legal status and be subject to deportation -- something which I fully support, but which many bleeding hearts apparently can't support.
Criticism of the DREAM Act:
Opponents of the DREAM Act argue that it encourages and rewards illegal immigration, acting as a "magnet" attracting more illegal immigrants and creating a chain migration by family members.[49] The Center for Immigration Studies, a nonpartisan,[50] politically conservative[51] think tank, has raised concerns that it would admit individuals who have already formed their identities overseas (i.e. people who arrived up to age 16), that illegal immigrants up to age 35 are allowed to obtain legal residence through it,[52] that it would result in massive fraud similar to the 1986 amnesty, that it will encourage additional illegal immigration,[53] and that it will shield gang members from deportation.[54]
IMO, there is some validity to that criticism.
I understand what you are saying, AOW, but the arguments you cite are legalistic and militate against the most negative aspects of the concept, while failing to consider the vitally important humanistic counter-arguments.
DeleteRemember please those biblical citations dealing with the LETTER –– as opposed to the SPIRIT –– of the Law.
I'm a Spirit Man, myself. ;-)
I abhor dogmatic, arbitrary, legalistic-literalistic thinking devoid of consideration for the nuances and implied ramifications of One-Size-Fits-All edicts.
FT,
DeleteWith all respect, I still maintain that the law does matter. After all, it is the law that protects our right to our private property. That is a One-Size-Fits-All edict of sorts.
We have to decide this as a nation: Shall we be a nation with citizens who contribute to our robust economy -- or not?
Immigration and naturalization should be selective. At the same time, the opportunities for American citizens (born here of legal parents) must be protected. Citizens first! We cannot and should not take in the whole world.
Also, those those biblical citations are specific to individuals. Those citations (mercy, etc.) are not rules of governance. They ARE rules for individuals.
DeleteYes, AOW, but you know as well as I that legislators who were brought up to RESPECT the Bible and the best aspects of Western Culture and the Christian Tradition would strive to INFUSE civil and criminal law with the utterly benign SPIRIT of biblical principles.
DeleteOnce upon a time this went without saying. Our Founders may been "deists," but they RESPECTED Christian Principles, and were in fact GUIDED by a logical, decidedly humanistic interpretation of Divine Law.
The Enlightenment was in effect a SECOND REFORMATION. It was NOT, as too many mischievous "intellectuals" today would insist, intended to REPLACE Christianity with the Rule of Reason. Instead it mean to INTERPRET and enhance the credibility of Christianity with the USE of Reason.
Since the arrival of atheistic Jewish intellectuals, our system has been PERVERTED and SUBVERTED by ALIEN ideologies tat have dpne incalculable harm.
IF we are ever to correct this, however, it cannot be accomplished through PERSECUTION. The Nazi's, the Bolsheiviks, and Mao tse Dung tried that, and look where it led.
FT,
Deletelegislators who were brought up to RESPECT the Bible and the best aspects of Western Culture and the Christian Tradition would strive to INFUSE civil and criminal law with the utterly benign SPIRIT of biblical principles.
Only to a point! Governance does not and should not follow "If someone asks you for your cloak, give him your shoes also." This should not extend to "If a welfare recipient asks for your tax dollars, give him your house also."
Because...
DeleteOnce the shoes are given, there is nothing else left to give.
Nobody has THE RIGHT to the fruits of my labors.
DeleteShould I choose to share with someone that fruits of my labors that is MY business insofar as what I do is within the bound of law and do not promote subversion of the United States of America.
If "the law is an ass," fix the law. Dickens was an author of novels of reform, and reform was his purpose in many of his social statements.
I'm thinking about blogging about Progressives and other Morons .
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking, then maybe you'll stop calling people who don't share your views "morons."
DeleteObama, Hillary and thier friends have looted the nation every wat possible. In fact the reason why we don't have a Keystone Pipeline is because of their friend Warren Buffet controls the rolling rail stock that hauls oil 2000 miles. It's all corruption and dirty
ReplyDeleteThat may be, but be assured members of BOTH parties have been bought off by The Oligarchs who practice Crony Capitalism against the Public Good. It's not really about PARTY anymore. It's about POWER –– too much power concentrated in the hands of a few super-rich, unelected Master Manipulators working far behind and high above public view.

Speaking of Trump, read the transcript as he us repeatedly asked how he would deport people and then bring them back.
ReplyDeleteIt was like reading some conservative blogs aka the porn Queens Clap trap that advocate the same, but cannot explain how they'd do it.
Simply saying it, and then saying it louder, won't magically make it happen. You need a plan...
Trump has been useful in RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS and forcing the candidates to CINSIDER the very important issues he discusses so fearlessly.
DeleteIt is up to US now to find ways these ideas may be implemented.
Let's start with you. What are YOUR ideas on how we might get Illegal Immigration properly under control ONCE and FOR ALL?
Directly below our exchange AOW has made an excellent start at outlining a potentially viable concrete policy. Why don't you follow her example, or further develop the points she's raised, as I have tried to do?
Fruitful CONVERSATION cannot take place when all we do is exchange insults, make little set speeches and try to shout each other down.
THE AOW IMMIGRATION PLAN (IN THIS ORDER)
ReplyDelete1. Slam the border shut -- tight as a drum. Anyone crossing the border after it's slammed shut is automatically ineligible for the DREAM ACt.
2. End birthright citizenship.
3. Deport illegal immigrants with any kind of criminal record -- along with their children.
4. Put the DREAM Act in force:
Requirements for conditional resident status[2]
person must have proof that they entered United States before the age of 16 and must have continuously lived in the country for at least 5 years
must have graduated from a United States high school or obtained a GED
person demonstrates good moral character
pass criminal background checks and reviews
After having obtained and held conditional resident status, permanent residency may be granted if the following requirements have been met in a period of six years.
Requirements for permanent residency[3]
have attended an institution of higher learning or served in the United States military for at least 2 years and if discharged, have received an honorable discharge
pass another series of background checks
continue to demonstrate good moral character
5. Put in place individual sponsorship as I mentioned in an earlier comment in this thread. Individual sponsorship could be used only for illegals who are already here before the border slams shut.
And don't set a date announcing when the border will slam shut.
DeleteI like your ideas very much, AOW, but would simplify a bit.
DeleteI, personally, believe that any non-Muslim foreign national who has lived here as a non-citizen for ten or more years should be eligible for AUTOMATIC citizenship PROVIDING their record shows
A. They've always worked
B. Never been convicted of a crime
C. Never been on public assistance
D. Never been on food stamps
E. Have learned English
F. Has never participated in subversive activities
G. Have studied and understood our basic principles of governance
I would END this thing called Birthright Citizenship, but NOT attempt to make it retroactive.
FT,
DeleteI like those additions.
I would END this thing called Birthright Citizenship, but NOT attempt to make it retroactive.
Unless they are criminals or bums, IMO. If they are, revoke their American citizenship.
BTW, my blog post today is about birthright citizenship.
I concur with those views. Of course I'm a true RADICAL in that I would revoke or at least DEGRADE the American citizenship of ANYONE, –– even those born here to American parents ––, who can be proven to associate themselves with SUBVERSIVE, anti-AMERICAN movements and organizations such as ISLAM, ISIS, "Al Kyda," Hamas, Hezbollah, or homegrown anarchistic-terroristic movements such as NOI, the Black Panthers, the American Communist Party, etc.
DeleteAlong with "birthright citizenship" I would revoke the recently discovered "right" to hold DUAL CITIZENSHIP. This would primarily affect American nationals who become citizens of Israel, of course, but I am against it ON PRINCIPLE. It creates an endemic conflict of interest.
"No man can serve two masters ..." because sooner or later he is bound to betray one in favor of the other.
If you ever wonder how a progressive socialist , communist, aka a democrat came to have a viewpoint as SHE does, think Bill Ayers, think Barack Obama, think George Soros. Get the Picture?

If someone insults you, resist the temptation to respond in kind. Instead RISE ABOVE that level, take the high road, and AVOID descending to the level of a school cafeteria food fight or a barroom brawl.
Our only claim to superiority would come from an ability to ACT, therefore BE in fact SUPERIOR to the shrieking, roaring, unwashed, unkempt, snotty, ill-mannered, chronically belligerent activists who STARTED us on the road to neo-barbarism.
FT, I like the verse you added to the original post. It defines the properties of a true lady very well. Just because very few exemplars of ladylike behavior exist anymore doesn't mean we should not reexamine the virtues we once embraced. With serious advocacy and enough favorable publicity a renascence might be possible.
ReplyDeleteYou may be swimming upstream, FT, but I hope will continue to strive towards higher standards and better understanding of the meaning of virtue and viability.

DeleteI intend now to dig up and publish the 14th Amendment in the hope that intelligent observers may parse it, analyze it according the dictates of their conscience, and give us their individual interpretation of EXACTLY what it means, what it IMPLIES and what it does NOT imply.
The fiery Mark Levin insisted the other night that "under the jurisdiction of the USA" does NOT conform to what-has-become-in-his-view a popular misconception.
Your accurate statement that American Indians were NOT granted citizenship under the 14th Amendment, but only later –– in 1924, I believe, –– by a special law passed by Congress gives a great deal of credence to the position that the 14th Amendment did NOT intend to grant automatic American citizenship to every human baby that happened to pop out of its mother's womb on OUR shores.
If the markets continue to tumble, we will indeed see "real Americans" wanting those jobs which "Americans won't do."

ReplyDeleteDow Jones down more than 900 points just after the opening bell this morning.
Agreed. We need real solutions to the immigration problems. One solution was the Dream Act, which would have been a small step in addressing the thousands of children and young adults who were brought here as babies and toddlers by their undocumented parents. The D.A. spelled out very specific conditions that the young adults would have to conform to in order to earn citizenship. IIRC, they had to have stayed in school, graduated, not have a police record, among other requirements. These young adults know no other country but this one to which they were brought and where they grew up. They are culturally American, and Congress should have made the small step in granting them citizenship if they fulfilled all the requirements set out in the Act. Congress abandoned them, and now they are still in limbo, facing an uncertain future. What does it say about our political system that we can't solve our man-made problems?

Trump: The Politician of Hatred:
ReplyDeleteDONALD TRUMP’S rapidly expanding catalogue of bombast is already a weighty tome, and it’s a fool’s errand to take each of his utterances seriously. Still, his loathsome comment on Wednesday, in which he excused violence against a Hispanic man in Boston as “passionate” acts of “people who are following me,” taps into a dark vein in American history and merits special attention.
In the Boston incident, two brothers were charged with using a metal pole to assault a 58-year-old Hispanic man. The man, who was homeless, was left with a broken nose and other injuries to his face, arms and chest. “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” one of the brothers, Scott Leader, told police, the Boston Globe reported.
When Mr. Trump was told of the incident, in which the brothers also are alleged to have urinated on the man before beating him, he said the following: “It would be a shame. . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”
[...]
The truth is that Mr. Trump deliberately whips up popular rage for political advantage. By spewing hatred on the stump, Mr. Trump encourages it in the bleachers and on the streets, then sanctions it when it occurs. Remember: He also minimized the death threats Ms. Kelly received after his dustup with her, telling the Hollywood Reporter, “I’m sure they don’t mean that,” then pivoting to stress his “respect for the people that like me.”
This sort of twisted, distorted, lop-sided interpretation of a single shameful event is trying to tell us these stupid Boston Thugs would never have committed violence if they had not been directly "inspired" by the "hate rhetoric" of Donald Trump –– that Trump irresponsibly uses his quasi-magical powers of persuasion to turn good boys into monsters.
DeleteThis is precisely what I loathe and despise about the Left –––– the way leftists EXPLOIT tragic examples of human frailty, stupidity, hostility and rage as a WEDGE to GAIN LEVERAGE. Leftists cynically create further division and misdirect public opinion in order to gain PARTISAN POLITICAL ADVANTAGE.
The high toned erudite phrases in the preceding post are little but a MASK for the BASENESS snd INTELLECTUAL THUGGERY that lurks a in CALLOUS, DECEITFUL, POWER HUNGRY heart.
That said, I, myself, feel that Mr. Trump has within him all the makings of a first-class demagogue, and do not believe he will win the Republican nomination, because conservative leaders generally eschew lamentable practices the Left ardently embraces.

ReplyDeleteAlways follow the money…More important, where it came from.
ReplyDeleteI like Trump, and Ted Cruz is a close second. With a net worth of four billion dollars that didn’t come from politicians he doesn’t own them a dime or a favor. So ‘Cronyism’ is out of the picture with him.
Why any man worth that kind of money would want to be president of now one of the most screwed up countries in the world is beyond me.
He says he want’s to make this country great again so I have to take him at his word.
He sure has stirred up the pot if nothing else at this point.. And I think that the also ran guys are not going anywhere, and neither is Hillary for that matter.
