No doubt at some time in the future the United States will have a female head of state. Margaret Thatcher was an excellent prime minister of Great Britain. Angela Merkel the current chancellor of Germany seems competent enough — but is Hillary Clinton the best that we can do in the United States?
Hillary Clinton was asked by a reporter to relate her greatest achievement as Secretary of State. Her response: “My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I’m glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.” — Hillary Clinton, 11 March 2014
If anyone can explain what the heck Hillary said – I’m listening! This is the biggest load of gobbledygook that could possibly come out of anyone’s mouth. It makes entirely no sense on any level. And this is the smartest woman in America? I can see her campaign slogan now: It takes a village idiot!
Carly Fiorina clarified Mrs. Clinton’s accomplishments on her behalf: Flying is an activity, not an accomplishment. Granted, Mrs. Clinton did log a great many frequent flyer miles during her four years as Secretary of State but I can think of nothing of note that she accomplished during her tenure — judging by her muddled attempt to explain what she accomplished, apparently she has the same problem.
Now Hillary has succumbed to another unforced error in setting up a personal email server, using a personal email address while Secretary of State, delete emails that she did not want reviewed, and archiving her State Department emails for about two years. If guilty of nothing else this violated US Code, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 101, Section 2071, part b which states that any person who willfully destroys a public document may be fined and imprisoned for up to three years —and shall be disqualified from holding future office. Hillary’s poor judgment and spirit of entitlement take us back to the gaggle of scandals which plagued the Clintons: White Water, Rose Law Firm records that disappeared, the Monica scandal, a right-wing conspiracy, and allegations of sexual abuse and rape, and on and on. Do we really want four more years of this type of sleazy behavior?
Liberals just love Hillary — but then again, they love tofu, so they are no difficult to persuade. More moderate Democrats are wringing their hands and wondering what Wonder Woman will do next that will stink. Former Senator Jim Webb may run for president – I don’t like everything about him, but on the other hand, I don’t like everything about me. He seems to have some common sense and he has exhibited some capabilities.
Other than Webb, the only other Democrat that has been mentioned is the Indian Princess Elizabeth Warren. In all honesty she is probably at least as capable of running America as Hillary – that is to say “not at all.”
The Republicans seem determined to get Jeb Bush into the presidential picture. Given the choice of continuing either the Clinton or Bush dynasties – think I would rather go out and puke. There doesn’t seem to be a Cinderella in the Republican field. Bush or Christie doesn’t really give one much of a choice and the rest of the field hasn’t gained any traction so far. Rubio is the best speaker of the group and Paul has “some” of the best ideas. Lindsey Graham is a joke – he just has yet to understand the punch line. Carson is an intelligent guy, but I doubt that he can get the money he would need. Scott Walker has shown the most intestinal fortitude of any of the candidates. And so the list goes on, and on, and on.
What all the Republicans and Senator Webb have in common is that they are all more qualified to be president than Mrs. Clinton. In reality Mrs. Clinton would be a sleazy lawyer, or a disbarred lawyer, in Chicago were it not for her riding on the coattails of her husband — which she no doubt feels is her due for enduring his dalliances.
The best thing that Ms. Clinton could do for America is to go home and learn how to bake cookies!
Have a good week. Bill Shuey is a freelance writer from North Carolina.
liberalism is a mental disorder of the brain and all democraps and republicraps have it, they all have inferior evil demonic thinking and all belong in institutions for the criminally insane and that includes the psychiatrists these fools always call on to keep there madness in check. but the psychiatrists are the fox in the hen house with them.

That is semantically null. It says nothing. Amounts to nothing. Which is entirely appropriate, because she did nothing of substance…and she’s trying to make it into an accomplishment.
put in plain English, she is a mental case in need of mental institution.
