Hillary Clinton: Wife, Mother, Grandmother...and a Woman, Too!

Slip Sliding
As it turned out, the biggest challenge to securing that legacy has been at home, and not overseas, as Mr. Obama’s fellow Democrats last week shot down legislation crucial to finalizing the trade agreement on the grounds that it would hurt rather than help America. Unless he can convince scores of Democrats to change their votes in the coming days, the centerpiece of his much-touted re-engagement with Asia will slip away along with one of the last chances he has to leave his imprint on the world before leaving office. (New York Times, 6/15/2015)

Democrat opposition to Obama's trade agreement is couched in terms of wanting to preserve American manufacturing jobs. In reality it is a subtle form of racism cynically directed toward an ambitious young black president with the sole aim of denying him a major foreign policy achievement. 

We've got that correct, right?


Smoked
(Jeb Bush) struggled in his first year at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., drinking alcohol and smoking a lot of marijuana... (New York Times, 6/15/2015)

Next up, an in-depth look at the youthful Barack Obama's use of cocaine, revealed in his own book. Just kidding...the "in-depth look" part.


Whitey
In her first interview since being accused of misrepresenting her racial background and stepping down as an N.A.A.C.P. official, Rachel A. Dolezal did not back down on Tuesday, stating “I identify as black,” although she comes from a white family. (New York Times, 6/16/2015)

Liberals may dismiss this story as no big deal; a tale of a misguided woman; or even say, hey, what's the problem as long as she's down for the cause. (On another planet, Al Sharpton questions Dolezal's parents...) But the issue is that this is what Liberalism has wrought: there are no absolutes anymore. Everything is gray, subject to interpretation or even 'normal.' Hence, Bruce Jenner is no longer a man, Rachel Dolezal is no longer white, an unborn child is not a child, marriage is not just between a man and a woman. The list goes on and covers not just sociology, but politics, foreign policy and every facet of life. Yes, the Palestinians call for the destruction of Israel, but Israel is wrong to defend itself. Yes, the Iranian mullahs have lied about their nuclear program, but that is no reason not to do a deal with them. Yes, millions have entered the country illegally, but we need to grant them amnesty. Yes, we would prefer that our teenagers not smoke marijuana, but we should legalize it. Welcome to the America that Liberals have fashioned. 


Party On
Such is the state of a party in which Barack Obama is the extreme-right flank. (Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal, 6/16/2015)

Liberal friends constantly remind us that they used to be Republicans before the party became too extreme. So now are they no longer Democrats?
