If you're looking for a paragon of female virtue, don't waste your time
in Chappaqua, New York. Of all American politicians, there is no one who
is more ethically-challenged or morally-tainted than Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
Do a Google search on "Hillary Clinton" and "scandal," and your
computer's memory chip will choke, gag, and cough. Here's just a partial
list to wet your whistle:
- 1978: Parlayed a $1,000 investment in cattle futures into a sizzling
$100,000 profit.
- 1985: Accepted a $2,000 a month retainer from Madison Guaranty, a
fact she later tried to deny.
- 1993: Ousted the White House travel office and replaced it with World
Wide Travel, Clinton's source of $1 million in fly-now-pay-later
campaign trips.
- 1996: Attempted to conceal the fact that she had received $120,000
worth of free ghost-writing services for her Writing History book.
And just three months ago, Senator Clinton's former finance director
David Rosen was indicted on charges that he had lied to the Federal
Election Commission about HRC's campaign expenses.
Whatever else Mrs. Clinton may claim to be, she is first and foremost a
fem-socialist. Mao's Little Red Book instructs revolutionary-wannabees
to vilify and malign their opponents. To Saint Hillary, the enemy is
that vast penile conspiracy called the Patriarchy. Which means men are
all considered fair game.
So at a recent address to the Vital Voices' Women's Global Leadership
Summit, Hillary attempted to deflect attention away from her besmirched
ethical resumé. Here she goes again:
"Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical
behavior and lowers corruption."
Note Hillary's effort to prop up a dubious claim by using the word
"research" without bothering to mention the source of her information.
Hillary, supreme mistress of irony that she is, made those remarks about
the impeccable ethical standards of women just two days after Martha
Stewart wrapped up her five month stint in the slammer. Maybe Hillary
forgot that Stewart had lied to federal investigators about her use of
insider information to dump her biotechnology stocks.
One of the dogmas of radical feminism is that a woman can do anything a
man can do. The logical extension of that belief is that women should
represent 50% (or more) of all politicians, CEOs, scientists, and so on.
But in January, Harvard president Larry Summers committed a capital
heresy. He suggested that innate biological differences might be part of
the reason for the predominance of men in elite science departments.
That remark triggered a firestorm of protest. But the venomous
denunciations backfired when persons around the country came to view
Summers as yet another victim of Leftist intolerance.
A few weeks later Charlotte Allen
wrote
a column in the Los Angeles
Times that commented on the dire shortage of female intellectuals. Allen
blamed the problem not on sex discrimination, but rather because
"Ideological feminism has ghettoized and trivialized the subject matter
of women's writing."
Predictably, that statement provoked
another
raging-hormones debate that
is beginning to resemble catfight.
Then last week a 5-foot tall female police officer - a grandmother at
that -- was assigned to accompany accused rapist Brian Nichols into an
Atlanta courtroom. Nichols proceeded to wrest away her gun and went on a
murderous rampage.
Now we are beginning to get an idea why there is a shortage of female
scientists, intellectuals, and police officers.
Perhaps it's time to expand the discussion. Why, 85 years after women
were granted the right to vote, do we have only 14 females serving in
the U.S. Senate?
To answer that question, consider a bill recently proposed by Sens.
Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine. They introduced the "Pregnancy
Recovery Education Program for Women in the Military" act to help
military moms during the 12 months following delivery.
And why should we spend $2 million for this latest example of feminist
pork? According to the two senators, these downtrodden women "continue
to serve actively while still physically recovering from pregnancy and
the physical trauma of giving birth."
So much for those lean, mean, fightin' machine G.I. Janes.
Last week female attorney Devvy Kidd reached the
point
of exasperation
with this you-can-never-do-enough-to-please-a-woman mentality. "Throw
out all female members of Congress!" she demanded.
No doubt taking aim at Her Royal Highness, Kidd charged, "these
hormone-driven legislators are breeding generations of women who are not
being 'empowered;' they are being turned into whining, gimmee-gimmee
females."
With utter disregard for the truth and common decency, female
supremacist Hillary Clinton continues to stereotype and malign men,
thinking this will somehow shore up her support with the female
electorate.
