As her once insurmountable lead slips away, Hillary Clinton is desperately trying to turn things around by portraying herself as the most experienced, likeable, and yes, huggable candidate. Maybe voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and elsewhere should hear the story behind her youthful transformation from Goldwater Republican to iconic feminist.
The roots of Hillary’s gynocentric leanings can be traced to her relationship with her mother Dorothy, who had been abandoned by her parents. As Hillary revealed in her autobiography, “I thought often of my own mother’s neglect and mistreatment at the hands of her parents and grandparents.”
Hillary’s relationship with her father Hugh also figured in the story. Even though she later wrote, “I adored [my father] when I was a little girl,” Hugh’s household regime no doubt grated on the independent-minded girl.
Hillary Rodham’s arrival at the all-girls Wellesley College in 1965, two years after Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, marked a turning point in her ideological journey.
During those formative years Hillary devoured a leftist Methodist magazine called Motive. In 1971 the publication ran a self-described “women’s liberation issue” with a lead article that cynically proclaimed, “Here she is, Miss America. Take her off the stage and f__ her.”
Now on the verge of being stripped of its funding, Motive printed its last edition on – are you ready for this? — feminism, lesbianism, and the gay sexual experience. Hillary often raved about Motive, effusing in a 1994 interview, “I still have every issue they sent me.”
Young Hillary never seemed to pass on the chance to take a jab at the patriarchy.
In Living History, Clinton noted the “absence of male students cleared out a lot of psychic space” – hardly a compliment about the members of the opposite sex. Hillary once tried out for a role in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in the role of the foul-mouthed, emasculating Martha.
The Acknowledgements of her senior thesis opened with the sarcastic quip, “Although I have no ‘loving wife’ to thank for keeping the children away while I wrote …” [www.gopublius.com/HCT/HillaryClintonThesis.pdf]
And Hillary’s graduation speech featured a classmate’s acrid poem:
The Hollow Men of anger and bitterness
The bountiful ladies of righteous degradation
“Hollow Men of anger and bitterness”? Some wondered if it was Hillary who was angry and bitter. “Bountiful ladies of righteous degradation”? C’mon girls, it’s time to get a grip.
Then on to Yale Law School, where Hillary Rodham’s socialist leanings became irrevocably fused with women’s liberation ideology. [www.renewamerica.us/columns/roberts/071212] There she affected the appearance of a feminist guru, once described by a friend as sporting “Gloria Steinem glasses [and] Gloria Steinem hair.”
She immersed herself in the writings of feminist firebrands Simone de Beauvoir and Germaine Greer. Author of The Second Sex, Beauvoir sneeringly claimed in a 1974 interview, “No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.”
Greer, the self-annointed “anarchist communist,” had written The Female Eunuch, a book that can be described as the Mein Kampf of the radical feminist movement. After endless gripes about men, Greer concluded, “If women are to effect a significant amelioration in their condition, it seems obvious that they must refuse to marry.”
Those anti-family rants resonated with Hillary. So when she later wrote an article for the Harvard Educational Review, Hillary asserted that marriage fosters “dependency relationships” and compared families to “slavery, and the Indian reservation system.”
It was during the same time that Hillary met Bill, and during her third year at Yale they moved in together. Following a roller-coaster courtship, Bill and Hillary wed in 1975. A devoted acolyte of the Age of Aquarius, Hillary refused her young suitor’s offer of a diamond engagement ring. She did not intend to wear a wedding dress, either, until a shocked friend insisted she do so.
At the reception Hillary stunned the Arkansas crowd with the breezy announcement she would not be taking her husband’s name. After all, we can’t have anything that hints at a “dependency relationship,” can we?
Now fast-forward to March 28, 2007 – that’s the day Hillary Clinton accepted the presidential endorsement from the National Organization for Women. Seeking to deflect criticism, Mrs. Clinton explained, “If you look in the dictionary, the word feminist means someone who believes in equal rights for women.”
No mention of equal rights for men.

Well, an important minion, anyway.
If she gains the Presidency, America will weaken and diminish in the eyes of the World. At least the World will have a Feminazi to turn their ire upon, as it will with an emasculated ex-Giant.

Hillary uses children to serve her ideology of social reform, and now her campaign - an easy transition. Save the children. Save the pets. Save the woman. Save us all.

Besides, although she wants to further criminalize fatherhood, she wants to go after motherhood too, in order to make her government controlled hippy commune “village” a reality. Her tricky part is going to be to convince mothers that government makes a better mother than a mother, which won’t be as easy as it was for her ilk to do with husbands and fathers.

most just read the writings, very few extrapolate the results to their conclusions…
why doesnt seti find lots of life? because intelligence when it gets advanced, cant help commiting suicide by playing with how it sees the world. remember a tenet of socialism, and communism, was that “even if 9/10s had to be destroyed…” this policy is removing 9/10s… slowly (and maybe planka will help make it fater with ebola)…
in space, no one stays capitalist and free long enough to conquour worlds…
without the US… would the soviets, and china ever care about space? no, it would be a pragmatic waste… not a high risk capitalist venture to untold material supplies and a better world (throw garbage to the sun).
so with such a leadership, blinded by ideology… we will and are entering a dark age… as the wests creative light gets snuffed out as its culture is torn apart, and as they do this…. they destroy capacity, ability, fecundity, loyalty, hope, and more…
groups invent the way people in a room all can orgasm together.. yes they can do that at the same time, but it always remains a solitary result inside the head of the person… they cant share the results, or the process…
groupism…. it doesnt work (hillary doesnt get that she is not a group, and her success is due to her individual abilities glomed together in comparative advantage, not due to her group getting anywhere).
its scary to think that all the candidates are CFR people… and that when we stopped donating to individuals and gave to parties, we lost our vote.
as far as dcfather.
you cant turn a pickle back to a cucumber… one cant try everything then come back to what one was. the damage done, the glass shattered on the floor… you know now how it shattered and all that information, but youc ant get back to the original once broken.
it gets too bad… the machines will roll… and in a two week period we will be converted… ask any latvian or such how long it takes… like water past critical freezing… a jar or disturbance will change it from liquid to freezing in a very short time.

its a breeze dc father… since you control the schools, you teach that people are naturally incompetent parents. and that its a womans duty to turn her child over to the state and not do that to it. police stations, fire stations, churches, and hospitals are already legally sanctioned to take them…
its closer than you think….
take a look at russia to see whoere sociopaths who make promises they cant keep run a nation. anyone care to quote the now life expectency of russia, and compare that to germany and japan?
they exterminated those that kept showing that the ideology is false… now when they need such people to grow… they dont exist… same as all those great germans and such (the people not the leaders), were all killed in wwi and wwii… since wars grind up the able.
with control of the schools, from cradle to grave, he who rocks the cradle controls the world.
take away dad… the family falls apart… its easy then to show the girls that they are not able by pointing to their own broken lives… then the girls will give up their kids rather than do that… (since gettting married and such is seen as a way backwards to something worse, the state becomes the lesser of THREE evils).
not so hard to do… people are gullible and their good natures mean they want to do well… this means that they can be slaves of sociopathic leaders if they forget to hold them to merit and outcomes, and start letting them promise everything tomorrow (kind of like a manipulative person who pretends to be a suitor to get laid).
i wonder if all the fornicating we are getting is worth all the fornicating we are getting? - pippin

Mrs. Clinton is a cackling, talking, walking disaster. She will bury this country and its people. She will bring cold desperate dark days from which we may never recover. She is the worst political nightmare that can exist. She is a hack as senator and a crack pot as a person. She is a socialist/feminist of the vilest kind. She is a creature in its truest form. Few people realize how bad things can get. Societies are fragile, bring down a few pillars and the entire structure will fall. Riots, murder, mayhem, economic collapse, marshal law are some words that come to mind.
