Sowell: A Simple Question
Creators Syndicate ^ | March 24, 2015 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 03/23/2015 2:48:00 PM PDT by jazusamo

It is amazing how a simple question can cause a complex lie to collapse like a house of cards. The simple question was asked by Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel, and it was addressed to two Democrats. He asked what has Hillary Clinton ever accomplished.

The two Democrats immediately sidestepped the question and started reciting their talking points in favor of Hillary. But O'Reilly kept coming back to the fact that nothing they were talking about was an accomplishment.

For someone who has spent her entire adult life in politics, including being a Senator and then a Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has nothing to show for all those years — no significant legislation of hers that she got passed in the Senate, and only an unbroken series of international setbacks for the United States during her time as Secretary of State.

Before Barack Obama entered the White House and appointed Mrs. Clinton Secretary of State, Al Qaeda operatives in Iraq had notified their higher ups, stationed in Pakistan, that their cause was lost in Iraq and that there was no point sending more men there.

Hosni Mubarak was in charge in Egypt. He posed no threat to American or Western interests in the Middle East or to Christians within Egypt or to Israel. But the Obama administration threw its weight behind the Muslim Brotherhood, which took over and began terrorizing Christians in Egypt and promoting hostility to Israel.

In Libya next door, the Qaddafi regime had already given up its weapons of mass destruction, after they saw what happened to Saddam Hussein in Iraq. But President Obama's foreign policy, carried out by Secretary of State Clinton, got Qaddafi removed, after which Libya became a terrorist haven where American ambassador was killed, for the first time in decades.

Kudos, as usual, Dr. Sowell.

“It is staggering that there are sane adults who can vote for someone to be President of the United States as if they are in school, just voting for ‘most popular boy’ or ‘most popular girl’ — or, worse yet, voting for someone who will give them free stuff.”

Staggering? Try “HORRIFYING.”

What did our current President accomplish before HE was elected.

Accomplishments don’t seem to matter much to most of the country. Its all about the stash.

Actually, the only real job she ever had was in the Rose Law Firm. And her only real accomplishment was Whitewater.
