Hillary Finds Her Scapegoat

Posted on | November 13, 2016 | 4 Comments

 

This was predictable:

Hillary Clinton on Saturday cast blame for her surprise election loss on the announcement by the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, days before the election that he had revived the inquiry into her use of a private email server.
In her most extensive remarks since she conceded the race to Donald J. Trump early Wednesday, Mrs. Clinton told donors on a 30-minute conference call that Mr. Comey’s decision to send a letter to Congress about the inquiry 11 days before Election Day had thrust the controversy back into the news and had prevented her from ending the campaign with an optimistic closing argument.
“There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful,” Mrs. Clinton said, according to a donor who relayed the remarks. But, she added, “our analysis is that Comey’s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum.”
Mrs. Clinton said a second letter from Mr. Comey, clearing her once again, which came two days before Election Day, had been even more damaging. In that letter, Mr. Comey said an examination of a new trove of emails, which had been found on the computer of Anthony D. Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides, had not caused him to change his earlier conclusion that Mrs. Clinton should face no charges over her handling of classified information.
Her campaign said the seemingly positive outcome had only hurt it with voters who did not trust Mrs. Clinton and were receptive to Mr. Trump’s claims of a “rigged system.” In particular, white suburban women who had been on the fence were reminded of the email imbroglio and broke decidedly in Mr. Trump’s favor, aides said. . . .

You can read the rest. Hillary’s claim is both true and false. On the one hand, it is certainly true that the FBI letter caused renewed attention to the former Secretary of State’s email scandal. My Oct. 30 headline was “SHOCKING: TRUMP SURGES IN POLL; HILLARY DOOMED BY F.B.I. PROBE?” On the other hand, blaming FBI director Comey is wrong, because this implies that Hillary was innocent of wrongdoing, when it is plainly evident that the whole purpose of her private email server was to allow her a secret way to conduct business that benefited the Clinton Foundation. She deliberately tried to evade federal law and she got caught, period. Her attempts to create an “innocent” explanation of the email scandal were classic Clintonian deceit.

The real problem is that, like all other Democrats, Hillary Clinton believes very deeply in her own moral superiority. Being a liberal means being on the side of the angels, every Democrat believes, and this sense of political righteousness endows them with a certainty that nothing they do can ever be wrong. Democrats believe they are good people — smarter and better than everybody else — and they are working for a good cause, and therefore the rules don’t apply to them. This mentality makes Democrats very dangerous, because what is morality without rules?

Well, she lost, and so we’ll be spared the experience of seeing her prove what a bad president she would be. What the future holds in a Trump presidency, I don’t know, but the Clintons are history. Thank God.

No, SJWs, There Wasn’t A “Social Activist” Bone In Jesus’ Body

Posted on | November 12, 2016 | Comments Off on No, SJWs, There Wasn’t A “Social Activist” Bone In Jesus’ Body

by Smitty

I was triggered today by a bumper sticker:

The Obama and Hillary stickers you’d expect were around this little bit of noise.

If you have the guts to read the Gospels, all four, you will quickly see that the modern SJWs are the antithesis of what Christ was here about.

I can understand, here in Northern Virginia, literally half a mile from Franconia Road (boasting every denomination you’ve ever heard of, and then some), people would be wanting to find some way to rationalize treating the State as God, so that they have some theological cover for doing the Devil’s work.

This was the third temptation of Christ:

Matt 4:8-9 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Oh, deluded one: the Gospel has everything to do with your internal renewal, and nothing whatsoever to so with “social” anything. You want to know who the social acivists of Jesus’ day were? The Pharisees!

That’s right: this driver has fooled zitself into becoming precisely the thing it claims to oppose, attempting to come up with external measures from bullying to legislation to accomplish that which can only be done by grace.

Northern Virginia is a land of copious churches and scant faith. Whatever your faith, if you want to claim to follow Christ, do, please, read the Gospel prayerfully and let it revitalize your life. If you cherry pick the Bible for bumper stickers you think can be repurposed to serve some secular agenda, you might be working for the wrong team.

Parents: Warn Your Children Not to Apply to George Mason University

Posted on | November 11, 2016 | 1 Comment

GMU admissions officer Andrew Bunting hates Republicans.

George Mason University’s admissions office is staffed by intolerant Democrats who hate anyone who disagrees with them:

On his public Facebook page, GMU’s Senior Assistant Director of Admissions Andrew Bunting claimed he is fearful of Donald Trump’s presidency because the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), a group that believes in traditional marriage, said it is hopeful for Trump’s presidency.
Bunting stated NOM’s views are “not representative of the key pillars of American society.” He then added, “If you agree with them then that is your opinion. Just know that to the rest of us, you are a piece of worthless trash.” . . .

In a message on his Facebook page Wednesday morning, the George Mason University official blamed Republican voters for “racism and bigotry,” saying: “Today I woke up in a less safe world. . . . Today, I woke up in Donald Trump’s America.”

 

Bunting has called for collecting information on students’ sexual orientation, presumably so GMU can discriminate against heterosexuals.

The Blunders of Hillary’s Campaign

Posted on | November 11, 2016 | 3 Comments

 

“What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Well, to Democrats trying to figure out exactly how Hillary Clinton lost the election, it makes a lot of difference, Ed Morrissey explains:

For forty-eight hours, Democrats stunned by the most shocking presidential-race outcome in at least 68 years seemed more than willing to follow Team Hillary’s lead in blaming the loss on a string of factors other than the campaign or the candidate herself. . . .
After a couple of days, though, these excuses are wearing thin, even with Hillary’s campaign surrogates. . . .
Hillary Clinton never even set foot in Wisconsin after the convention, apparently assuming for some reason that the state was safe.

Hillary lost Wisconsin because “more than 57,000 people who voted from Milwaukee County in 2012 stayed home in 2016,” according to Steve Chamraz of WTMJ-TV. “Donald Trump won Wisconsin by fewer than 28,000 votes.” Even a token effort by Hillary — a couple of October campaign stops in Madison and Milwaukee — might have closed that gap. Clinton’s loss of Michigan, where it appears Trump won by about 13,000 votes, was almost beyond comprehension. In an overwhelmingly Democrat state like Michigan, it required a high degree of ineptitude for the Clinton campaign to lose. By the way, Green Party candidate Jill Stein got more than 50,000 votes in Michigan, nearly four times the margin of Hillary’s loss. In Wisconsin, Stein got 30,000 votes, about 2,000 beyond Clinton’s margin of defeat. The real shocker to me was Pennsylvania, where Trump won by about 60,000 votes in a state no Republican has carried since 1992. So that’s 20 Electoral College votes in Pennsylvania, 16 in Michigan, and 10 in Wisconsin — a total of 46 in states Hillary could not afford to lose. Even without the key battlegrounds of Florida and Ohio, she still might have squeaked by, but she lost three states that were considered “safe” for Democrats. The question is: How?

Sexism. The media. James Comey.
On a call with surrogates Thursday afternoon, top advisers John Podesta and Jennifer Palmieri pinned blame for Hillary Clinton’s loss on a host of uncontrollable headwinds that ultimately felled a well-run campaign that executed a sensible strategy, and a soldier of a candidate who appealed to the broadest coalition of voters in the country. . . .
“They are saying they did nothing wrong, which is ridiculous,” said one Clinton surrogate. “She was the wrong messenger and everyone misjudged how pissed working class people were.” . . .
Despite being the wrong candidate for the moment, many allies who have helped the campaign for months were still in disbelief that Clinton did not succeed in putting away a man they see as unqualified to serve as commander in chief.
“She got this gift of this complete idiot who says bizarre things and hates women and she still lost,” said one longtime Clinton ally and fundraiser. “They lost in a race they obviously should have won. They need to take some blame.” . . .
“They spent their time protecting her, explaining her, defending her, with all these issues, the speeches, the Foundation, the emails — that became the energy of the campaign,” sighed one longtime Clinton confidante.
The paid speeches and the glitzy fundraisers, they said, did not paint a picture of a woman connected to the real suffering in the country. . . .
And some began pointing fingers at the young campaign manager, Robby Mook, who spearheaded a strategy supported by the senior campaign team that included only limited outreach to [working-class white] voters — a theory of the case that Bill Clinton had railed against for months, wondering aloud at meetings why the campaign was not making more of an attempt to even ask that population for its votes. . . .
Internally, staff felt that Clinton’s loss ultimately boiled down to white working class voters rejecting her because she was a woman.
At Brooklyn headquarters on Wednesday, Podesta expressed his gratitude and support for the team, and for Mook. “We have the No. 1 campaign manager,” he said, in a staffwide gathering in the afternoon. “I’ve been doing this since 1968, and I’ve never seen a culture and a spirit like we created in this campaign.”

Chumps. All the people that gave money to the Clinton campaign, the volunteers who went door-to-door for the campaign — chumps, all of them. At the end of the day, Democrat operatives like Robby Mook, Jennifer Palmieri and John Podesta get paid big money, even when they lose. They collected huge salaries, and delivered . . . failure.

When allegedly “smart” people get paid money to do a job and fail as spectacularly as Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff failed, there ought to be some consequence, but they’re Democrats, see? Democrats don’t believe in consequences. Screw up and blame your failures on “racism.”

Basically, that’s the history of liberalism since 1963.

Laci Green (@gogreen18) Is a Lying Atheist Democrat, But I Repeat Myself

Posted on | November 11, 2016 | 1 Comment

 

Laci Green is a pervert who likes talking to kids about sex. Basically, she’s a female Anthony Weiner, but because she calls herself a “sex educator,” some people don’t realize what a sick freak she is. Then on Tuesday night, she erupted in an obscenity-strewn meltdown: “We are now under total Republican rule. Textbook fascism. F–k you, white America. F–k you, you racist, misogynist pieces of sh–.”

Laci Green is on the payroll of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America. Laci Green is a feminist who is against motherhood and marriage. Laci Green is an atheist who hates Christians.

 

Laci Green’s pro-abortion, anti-Christian politics were long overlooked because she was viewed as a mere entertainer, someone with a YouTube channel who occasionally appeared on MTV. During the past two years, however, Laci Green has been promoting an increasingly militant feminist message and openly campaigning for Democrats. She attended the Democratic National Convention, where she fangirled Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and ex-MSNBC hatemonger Melissa Harris-Perry.

 

Laci Green is a left-wing extremist who hates all Republicans: “F–k you, white America. F–k you, you racist, misogynist pieces of sh–.”

The dishonesty of these hateful accusations — her false claim that every American who didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton is a “racist” and a “misogynist” — should require no explanation. Laci Green is an atheist liar whose entire career has been devoted to corrupting young people in order to promote the anti-Christian agenda of the Democrat Party.

Democrats are just bad people. They hate Jesus. They hate babies. They hate America. And they think everybody else should hate America, too.
