I've presented her as "Lulu" in this context. I've known her since 1954. We were in high school together. She's NOT a member of The Mile High IQ Society, but she longs to be regarded as "intelligent," SO she has latched onto the prevailing attitudes of the Leftist Ivy League Feminists, and has persuaded herself to believe she understands and believes all the Marxian crap they've been fed by Cultural Marxist professors since time immemorial. Worships the memory of Betty Friedan –– clear proof of mental deficiency, I should think, but I give her credit for at least trying. <br /><br />I do wish "our" side ;-) would spend time doing due diligence on "their" side, instead of indulging in incessant exchanges of coarse, denigratory rhetoric.<br /><br />PS: Lulu's command of English, despite her not being very bright, should be seen as a tribute to our excellent high school faculty. Even the least of us was not permitted to graduate without demonstrating a high degree of proficiency in English. –– a basic skill regarded as vitally important –– back THEN. <br /><br />Alas! No more.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-49311179831077540332016-05-17T16:52:03.349-05:002016-05-17T16:52:03.349-05:00What about it?

Bush, but that ain't saying much.<br /><br />She and her Amateur Warlord Girl's Club authored the Arab Spring, lit the ME on fire, turned Libya into New Somalia and caused the Million Muslim March into Europe.<br /><br />She's never met a military action she didn't like and she's never met a government program that didn't need started or expanded.<br /><br />Your friend is lying about how the moneyed class would react (You friend seems too smart to be duped, so like a good leftwing progressive, I can only assume he routinely lies and spreads propaganda in service to the cause).<br /><br />Hillary Clinton is THE CANDIDATE of the moneyed class. They get free rein when she gets elected. She and Bill will use her influence to squeeze billions from international donors and corporate cronies in return for selling this nation down the toilet. <br /><br />I appreciate your acts of comity and civility towards stubbornly and purposely-ignorant Hillary voters, but that list from Daily Kook looks like something put together by a middle schooler.<br /><br />Her only qualifications are as an unremarkable senator and as a Clinton Foundation mole disguised as a bumbling, corrupt, tragically-flawed Secretary of State in a failed administration. Her ascendancy to the Obama Throne would be one more kick to the already ruptured guts of a nation already balled up on a dirty sidewalk puking blood.Silverfiddlehttp://westernhero.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-47673112754899928342016-05-17T15:56:48.143-05:002016-05-17T15:56:48.143-05:00You left out "proud member of the Eleanor Roo...You left out "proud member of the Eleanor Roosevelt Club."

Rarely do we get any positive information about anyone from any branch of the media, which seems to be in the business exclusively of finding fault, poking holes, mocking, or otherwise tearing down anyone who makes an attempt to rise to a positions of prominence and influence.<br /><br />As an admitted member of what-President-Eisenhower-used-to -call "The Loyal Opposition," I feel duty-bound to ask which and how many of Mrs. Clinton's long list of accomplishments have in fact produced long term constructive effects? <br /><br />Despite the myriad machinations of politicians on both sides of the aisle our country, as a whole, seems not to have improved one iota since we were children.<br /><br />The best we could say with any degree of honesty is that the prospects of certain select elements have improved somewhat, but entirely at the expense of others whose fortunes and quality of life and culture have in my view declined alarmingly. <br /><br />A "bird's eye view" of the situation reminds me too much of a deadly serious game of Whack-a-Mole, if you've ever frittered away your time playing that at a Carnival or an Amusement Park.<br /><br />I do think in our eagerness to think well of ourselves and the policies we espouse we tend too often to confuse or equate Good Intentions with Solid Accomplishment. <br /><br />It's good to hear from you!
