Hillary and her Moral Void

By Benjamin | January 10, 2008

I was reading on Salon.com this morning a post by Camille Paglia. (She is a wonderful writer who is a staunch feminist with heavy liberal viewpoints.) I was blown away by some of the things Camille was saying about Hillary. And while I disagree with Camille that the main reason to elect a democrat to the white house is so that there will be democrats appointed to the Supreme Court, Funny… I always thought the supreme court was supposed to be impartial justices that interpret the constitution and not legislate right-wing or left-wing agendas from the bench. I do agree that it is important to have someone in the executive office with experience.

Camille brought up a point that I was unaware of before this morning. With all the spouting Hillary does about her experience and the lack of experience from the Obama camp, it turns out that Obama has served longer as an elected offical than Hillary. He has had experience as a grass-roots activist, and he is also a highly educated lawyer who will be a quick learner in the office. Obama is a rational and centered personality (which I can’t say the same for Hillary… cue the crying) who speaks the language of idealism and national unity. And while I will never vote for Hillary OR Obama, I appreciate Camille Paglia bringing these clarifications to the public.

The main reason I wanted to write this post was that Camille, (a feminist liberal), had some harsh and truthful statements to say about Hillary’s lack of Morals. If you want to read the entire article you can go to Salon.com, but I’ve clipped out some of the best parts here for you to read.

Hillary’s willingness to tolerate Bill’s compulsive philandering is a function of her general contempt for men. She distrusts them and feels morally superior to them. Following the pattern of her long-suffering mother, she thinks it is her mission to endure every insult and personal degradation for a higher cause — which, unlike her self-sacrificing mother, she identifies with her near-messianic personal ambition.

It’s no coincidence that Hillary’s staff has always consisted mostly of adoring women, with nerdy or geeky guys forming an adjunct brain trust. Hillary’s rumored hostility to uniformed military men and some Secret Service agents early in the first Clinton presidency probably belongs to this pattern. And let’s not forget Hillary, the governor’s wife, pulling out a book and rudely reading in the bleachers during University of Arkansas football games back in Little Rock.

Hillary’s disdain for masculinity fits right into the classic feminazi package, which is why Hillary acts on Gloria Steinem like catnip. Steinem’s fawning, gaseous New York Times op-ed about her pal Hillary this week speaks volumes about the snobby clubbiness and reactionary sentimentality of the fossilized feminist establishment, which has blessedly fallen off the cultural map in the 21st century. History will judge Steinem and company very severely for their ethically obtuse indifference to the stream of working-class women and female subordinates whom Bill Clinton sexually harassed and abused, enabled by look-the-other-way and trash-the-victims Hillary.

But Hillary herself, with her thin, spotty record, tangled psychological baggage, and maundering blowhard of a husband, is also a mighty big roll of the dice. She is a brittle, relentless manipulator with few stable core values who shuffles through useful personalities like a card shark (”Cue the tears!”). Forget all her little gold crosses: Hillary’s real god is political expediency. Do Americans truly want this hard-bitten Machiavellian back in the White House? Day one will just be more of the same.

Thank you Camille for exposing the disaster that is Hillary.
