Hillary is Not the One

Let's look at her resume. Apr 22, 2015, Wesley Whittaker, Professional Ghostwriter & Author

My friend Jack has a strong dislike for anyone who thinks it is the government's job to either (a) take from those who earn to give to those who won't or (b) tell him what he can and cannot do on his own property. He is a rancher in the Flathead and considers politicians to be about as useless as dog droppings. His feelings about either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton borders on enmity, so it is no surprise to get a cartoon or editorial blasting the intelligence or experience of either one of them; but this latest one was different. As I read it, I realized just how short our memories have become and how cooperative the press has been in conveniently failing to discuss the history of "the smartest woman in the world." Here is Jack's reminder.

Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her "record," which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or "co-president" - and  her seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record includes: 

• As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that  she would "demonize "anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party.  (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.) 
• Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General.  Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno.  Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as "my worst mistake."
• Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.
• Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster "committed suicide," and Kennedy was forced to resign.
• Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI  files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by  White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene Confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary's involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office, after serving seven  presidents for over thirty years.)
• In order to open "slots" in the White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for "gross mismanagement" and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours.

Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the "bimbo eruption squad" and scandal defense:

• She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.
• She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
• Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
• ...Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury.
• ...And Bill was impeached by the House.
• ...And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, "I do not recall,"  "I have no recollection," and "I don't know" 56 times under oath).
• Hillary accepted the traditional First Lady's role of decorator of the White House at Christmas, but in a unique Hillary way. In 1994, for example, The First Lady's Tree in the Blue Room (the focal point each  year) was Decorated with drug paraphernalia, sex toys, and pornographic  ornaments, all personally approved by Hillary as the invited artists'  depictions of the theme, "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
• Hillary wrote "It Takes a Village," demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint.
• Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support.
• When Hillary left the White House, she later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
• In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the "woman card" by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.
• Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)
• As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary passed no major legislation. She deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
• Her one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed.
• During an introduction to a foreign policy speech on Iraq on March 17, 2008, Sen. Hillary Clinton reminisced about her days as first lady and a trip to Tuzla, Bosnia, she made in March 1996.

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

• That was later proven to be a total fabrication by video taken at the welcoming ceremony and she went on CNN and said "I misspoke."
• .When questioned by Senator Johnson of Wisconsin during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Jan. 23, 2013, Hillary got rather exasperated with the Senator and said "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?"

What difference indeed.

Like my uncle Menno used to say "Experiential trumps theoretical every time." What that means is that just because you watch every episode of Gray's Anatomy, that doesn't mean you are ready to perform brain surgery.

I think it is time that we as Americans elect a woman to be Chief Executive. We deserve a President we can trust and someone of whom we can be proud.

That is most definitely NOT Mrs. Clinton.
