FITZGERALD ON CLINTON,
Though he was speaking on a different issue, Frederick Douglass, the famed abolitionist, spoke with wisdom for the ages when he noted, “Find out what people will submit to, and you will have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.”
Is that not a clarion call for Americans today?
Donald Trump may not be the personification of presidential comportment, but at least he can point to a record of great success in the real world.
Hillary Clinton? She’s not running on her record as much as she is running from it. Two years ago she told an ABC interviewer, “We (the Clintons) came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt.”
Really? Then how did she and Bill suddenly become fabulously wealthy while never leaving a public payroll?
If there’s an answer to be found, it’s in those infamous emails she is trying so hard to suppress, and doesn’t that raise a question, too? She fumes that voters should not have heard a word about these latest FBI concerns, as if further scrutiny of her ethics was a cheap shot.
But how is a voter to make a fully informed decision if relevant discoveries are intentionally concealed?
Her campaign, in a word, is rancid.
Now it’s learned that Donna Brazile, the interim chairman of the Democratic National Committee, so brazenly sabotaged the legitimacy of both a presidential debate and a town hall format, surreptitiously feeding Clinton questions she would be asked, that even CNN had to wash its hands of any further association with her.
Brazile, you might remember, inherited her DNC gig after it became known her shameless predecessor, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had unconscionably conspired to torpedo Clinton’s primary opponent, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Imagine this crowd gaining control of the White House?
Now they’re running ads suggesting Trump may not be truly charitable. Wasn’t it Hillary’s husband who donated used underwear to the Salvation Army, taking a $4 tax deduction for each pair?
They have no shame.
Meanwhile snippets of statements she has made throughout the course of this campaign reveal an appalling pattern of blatant lies and inconsistencies. Mark Twain must have had someone like Hillary in mind when he noted we don’t have to have a good memory if we always tell the truth. Her memory is terrible. Yet she still has her Kool-Aid followers who, as Douglass prophesied more than a century ago, may determine just how much wrong will be imposed upon America in her coming years.
