The Hillary Era represents the political darkness that extended from the end of Reagan's term to the present. To be sure, the name isn't entirely accurate since Hillary wasn't to blame for GHWB's lack of vision, but now that Mrs. Palin has brought light again, the darkness is being dispelled.
You are right. It began with GHWB. Which proves it has absolutely nothing to do with Hillary. I don’t have a name for it but its beginning coincided with the fall of the Soviet Union.
When the Soviet Union fell, two important things happened in the West, both of them very bad:
1. Good people everywhere were lulled into thinking that there were no more major foreign-policy challenges to Western Democracy.
2. Leftists throughout the western world enlisted en-masse in the “environmental” movement, realizing instinctively that the fight against capitalism and individual liberty had taken on a new form.
The era of False Peace and Global Warming was thus born, bringing us Bin Laden and Al Gore. Hillary has been nothing but a bit player in all that.
To say that 1988-2008 is the Hillary Era is like saying that 1928-1948 was the Norman Thomas Era.
Just because a 2-bit socialist lives in a particular time, and lusts after power during that time, doesn’t make that time their Era.
