“No man for any considerable period
can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without
finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.” – from
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, featured in “Primal
Fear” (1996)
“I'm kind of far removed from the
struggles of the middle class because [of]
the life I've lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my
husband and I now enjoy. And I am not taking a position on
any policy, but I do think there is a growing sense of
anxiety and even anger in the country over the feeling that the game
is rigged.” – Hillary Clinton's remarks to Goldman-Black
Rock, February 4, 2014
The game has been rigged, of course, by
Hillary
Clinton. If she's anything, she's the anti-Lincoln: an amoral,
big government fascist willing to tear America apart to assure her
own presidential ambitions. Released WikiLeaks's emails have
revealed that Mrs. Clinton is perfectly fine with “both
a public and a private position” related to, for example,
fat-cat bankers on Wall Street. During the second presidential town
hall debate, a questioner wanted to know whether “it is okay for
politicians to be two-faced.” Shamelessly, “Big Sister”
Hillary invoked Honest
Abe to mitigate her own clear criminality (read: Server-gate).
Would Abraham Lincoln have traded influence for personal enrichment
as she has: $238
million in “personal earnings,” and a 2
billion dollar slush fund from their “charitable” foundation?
The answer is never. Mr. Lincoln, unlike the grifters Clinton, was
not for sale.
As past is prologue, power-obsessed,
money-grubbing Hillary stands for nothing, save herself. Indeed, she
is utterly bereft of any benevolent principles whatsoever. Despite
an avalanche of damning evidence, what will it take for the American
electorate to wake up to the reality of this amoral, two-faced
creature? Specifically, in a bid to secure Bernie
Sanders voters for herself, she reversed her position (from pro
to against) on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Likewise, during the sham of a Democratic
primary she came out against her “gold standard”
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) which she had previously supported as
Secretary of State.
The Hillary rabbit hole goes deeper,
and gets worse. Per WikiLeaks, Mrs. Clinton does want open trade and
open borders. In a private speech to Brazil bank Banco Itau in 2013,
she reportedly said:
“My dream is a hemispheric common
market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future
with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it,
powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.”
Given the ever-present threat of
radical
Islamic terrorism—and the underclass of illegal aliens bring
all manners of their
violence and problems with them—who but insane Democrats want
unsecured borders?
They don't care one whit for displaced
migrants or legal immigration. They want new bodies to populate
their poverty
plantation. A permanent, illegal underclass fits Hillary's
personal ends nicely. Likewise, Bernie Sanders's economic
fantasy of free college education for millennial votes. These
are simply riffs from LBJ's political playbook. He established his
good-sounding public sham, his so-called “War
on Poverty.” To this day, politicians have wasted 22
trillion, but the poverty
rate has not improved since the policy was announced in 1964.
Privately, LBJ admitted his actual agenda: “I’ll Have
Those N*ggers Voting Democrat For The Next 200
Years!” The overarching political strategy here is identical:
pack the country with government-dependent Democratic voters to keep
progressives
in power in perpetuity.
Unfortunately, the re-election of
failed, scandal-prone Barack
Obama in 2012 conclusively demonstrated that anything is possible
in American politics. All one needs is a sycophantic
MSM to hammer a propagandist narrative. In Mrs. Clinton's case
on offer is an empty resume—a track record of lies, corruption and
failure—and the triviality of her gender. It's absolutely
unacceptable for any presidential candidate to wear one face in
public and another in private. Even Hillary's campaign chairman John
Podesta acknowledged that she often “says things that are untrue.”
More to the point, the late New York Times columnist William Safire
called Mrs. Clinton “a congenital liar” decades
ago. Recall that the purpose of any U.S. president is to
follow the Constitution—and represent the will and best interests
of the American people. Every lie, every evasion, every lawbreaking
scandal is the fallout from Hillary's elitist arrogance and her
self-centered political calculations.
WikiLeaks has also disclosed that Mr. Podesta wrote: “I know she [Hillary] has begun to hate everyday Americans.” The feeling is mutual in many clear-thinking quarters of the country. They would certainly forgive shamed Hester Prynne her adultery, but not deplorable Hillary; a scot-free con who proudly wears her corruption like a Scarlet C.
