Hillary and Her Harpy Ways

If you didn't watch the Democratic debate on Tuesday night, you're not alone. Not surprisingly, it was one of the least watched debates since the campaign started. I did catch the headlines and articles about the attacks on Clinton No. 2. Hillary was not on par last night and makes it obvious that she certainly lacks the speaking (or rather the illustrious persuading) skills of her husband. Hillary put on quite a show and as a considerate Republican I tried to listen to what she was saying, yet I couldn't really understand her position. Eliot Spitzer, the democratic governor of New York is trying to get a bill passed that would give driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Hillary, in response to this proposed measure said that is made sense to do so. The moderator of the debate, Tim Russert, then asked her to explain that comment. During her answer, she stumbled over her words and flip-flopped on live television like I have never seen before. She blamed the Bush administration for not enacting any sort of immigration reform, but she went on to say that she did not agree with it and that she did not say it made sense. She has now expressed support for the mandate. Chris Dodd, whose answer to this question was somewhat reasonable for a democrat said that receiving a driver's license was a privilege and that he would never allow such a policy. His answer actually makes sense. If you couldn't tell, I absolutely despise Hillary Clinton. Her voice and the way in which she presents herself make me want to regurgitate. She is the matriarch of socialism and I hate everything that she stands for. I can't stand her and her sex-crazed husband. I do approve of her decision to go to war in Iraq and to call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, unlike her colleagues. The Clintons are just far too power-hungry and that scares me a bit. I do want her to win the nomination however, because Republicans will most certainly be successful in '08 if that happens. Good thing that half the country hates her guts. If by some miniscule chance she becomes president, you can bet that I will most likely plan a get-away to a country that actually embraces the idea of work and opposes government handouts.

I also want to mention a little about Speaker Pelosi. She is probably my least favorite democrat aside from Hillary Clinton. I really cannot stand her at all. I don't know how anyone can take her seriously anymore. She's probably the worst Speaker of the House ever to grace that position of power. How she's third in line to the presidency I will never know. First of all, she made a promise to the democrats that she would bring the troops home. She didn't. She made a promise to bring serious congressional oversight to this administration in committee hearings. She hasn't. In fact, she's just wasted everyone's time with these nonsensical hearings. She had a plan of what would occur in her first 100 days in Congress. Obviously, one of those plans was to shorten the overburdening workweek for Congress and her democratic colleagues, in order to get less done. I'm glad that her promises weren't carried out, but it should make democrats infuriated that someone they elected is so incompetent. She's a puppet for organizations like moveon.org and other war protesting groups. She has no "real" power. She can't really even negotiate with the president. Her time as Speaker of the House will be seen as a mockery. There is a serious backlash amongst democrats against Pelosi, which isn't surprising. Also, the country's congressional support has decreased from when Republicans were the majority. So there!

Liberals annoy me. I understand that they want certain programs so that everyone has the same opportunities. That is all fine and nice until we run into the roadblock that is Capitalism, the driving force behind our strong economy. In this country, you make your own destiny. I don't care whether you were poor as a child. I don't care whether your surroundings made you fail. If anything at all, people in that position should try to find a way to escape that situation and redeem themselves as functional human beings. Get a job at McDonalds for crying out loud! You've got to start somewhere. There's no excuse to failure. Conservatives find the merit-based system to be the way in which society should operate. With affirmative action, this cannot happen. Conservatives take responsibility for their actions. Liberals just whine their way through life asking for payouts from government. There is a story I know of 2 sons whose father was a convict. One became a convict just like his father while the other son turned out to be a successful businessman. When asked why they turned out the way they did, they both responded because of their father. Take a look at your situation and if it isn't favorable, change it. Liberals never learn. They espouse ideas that aren't rooted in reality and they try to overextend government powers from the use of spending. The idealists come up with these ideas, yet the realists are the ones who will have to find a way to raise the money to support these socialist programs. John Edwards wants everyone in America to have a college education. Again, a great idea but when you come back to reality, it just isn't plausible. You have to work to get into college and the government shouldn't have to absolve all of your debts through more taxation. Rangel proposed a 4% income tax hike on people who make over $150,000 per year or $200,000 for couples. This would be the largest income tax increase in American history. Is this who we want running our government? I think we'll be worse off than we already are with a Democrat as president. They want so much that they can't have and so much of what they have already is eroding this country.

Last Wednesday, the Washington State College Republicans, of which I am a member, had a movie viewing of the film called "Obsession". The film is a great representation of the radical Islamic sect that wants to see the destruction of western civilization. I think it's completely non-biased, yet some opponents of the movie see it as an attack on the entire religion. Listen, there are radical sects of Christianity as well. It merely presents the danger behind radical Islam in order to open up some minds to what is really going on. The movie was quite the success, aside from some obstacles we faced in order to present it. The office of the president of the university initiated a response to Islamo-fascist week with a week of tolerance in order to attack what the CR's were doing. Constitutionally speaking, this is illegal and was brought to the attention of FIRE. While I'm on the topic of radical Islam, I want to touch a bit on something I read the other day about how half of Pakistan does not see the need to take out the Al Qaeda forces in their country. This astonishes me. They just don't understand how awful this terrorist organization can be.

That is all for now. I will try to update more often. Thanks for reading.
