Hillary Clinton and What Happened to the Nature of Woman
American Thinker.com ^ | September 12, 2017 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 09/12/2017 4:08:33 AM PDT by Kaslin

The title of Hillary Clinton’s post-deplorable book tells it all: What Happened.

Notice the lack of agency.

But wait! I thought that the whole point of feminism and women’s liberation was that finally, after the age-old oppression of the patriarchy, women were going to come out into the world and be free and responsible agents of their own destiny.

Hey girls! What Happened?

Okay. I admit it. I have not read Hillary Clinton’s post-election non mea culpa -- that’s Latin for Not My Fault -- and I don’t intend to. In fact, I have never read any of Hillary Clinton’s books and I hope I never will. It is nothing personal. I just think, without a particle of evidence, that I could learn a lot more about life, the universe, and everything from plugging through Andrew Roberts’ 935-page doorstopper on the life of British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury than anything I might glean from the scintillating mind of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But what I gather from what other people say about Hillary Clinton’s book is that Hillary blames her loss on just about everybody from President Obama to Matt Lauer to her campaign staff to the deplorables.

From reading all the quips from the book, I'd say her campaign was chaos.

I know I asked 100 times....is she really campaigning....because she was no where in sight.....most funds being raised by special interest groups behind the scenes...

Then the last couple weeks, she gathered all the Hollywood minions and actually held rallies.

Here's a good old fashion word...like that discombobulated word that might fit her entire political life....nincompoop.

And I've said it many times....If she wasn't married to Bubba, we'd all be going Hillary who?

I think free “agency” (or the ability to choose and act for ones self) is generally present and evident, but what is missing in many seems to be a willingness to accept “accountability” for the resulting consequences of how they have chosen to exercise that agency. Hillary illustrates this classically.

She thought she could coast to the coronation, doing mainly fundraisers.

Of course, it is not at all certain that she would have done any better had she done a lot more public appearances, rallies, etc. She just isn’t an appealing candidate and she might have hurt her cause had she been out in public more. not to mention, more opportunities to collapse like a sack of potatoes, etc.

"Madamina, il catalogo è questo" (also known as the Catalogue Aria) is a bass catalogue aria from Mozart's opera Don Giovanni to an Italian libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, and is one of Mozart's most famous and popular arias.

It is sung by Don Giovanni's servant Leporello to Elvira during Act I Scene 5 of the opera. Sung to a mostly light-hearted tune, it consists of a description and detailed count of his master's numerous lovers.

Lyrics

My dear lady, this is the list
Of the beauties my master has loved,
A list which I have compiled.
Observe, read along with me.

In Italy, six hundred and forty;
In Germany, two hundred and thirty-one;
A hundred in France; in Turkey, ninety-one;
But in Spain already one thousand and three.

Among these are peasant girls,
Maidservants, city girls,
Countesses, baronesses,
Marchionesses, princesses,
Women of every rank,
Every shape, every age.

With blondes it is his habit
To praise their kindness;
In brunettes, their faithfulness;
In the white-haired, their sweetness.

In winter he likes fat ones.
In summer he likes thin ones.
He calls the tall ones majestic.
The little ones are always charming.

He seduces the old ones
For the pleasure of adding to the list.
His greatest favourite
Is the young beginner.

It doesn't matter if she's rich,
Ugly or beautiful;
If she wears a skirt,
You know what he does.

The Clintons bought off everything in sight......including the media. They figured she was a shoo-in. The pillaging and looting could go on once Hillary was ensconced in the Oval Office.

=================================================

ITEM---The Australian newspaper the "Herald Sun" ran an October 2016 article entitled, “Why have we donated to Clinton’s foundation?” The paper noted "Former Australian Prime Minister Gillard donated $300 million of our money to the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education.”

That's one humongous amt of Australian govt money that fell into the hands of the conniving Clintons. The Herald Sun needs to dig deeper---to determine if any of that money took a circuitous route then landed back into the personal coffers of the donors.

ITEM---Some observers inside Germany believe the German government has some explaining to do for the Clinton Foundation donation that appears under the heading “Donors and Grantors”. “Why does a German Ministry supports the election campaign of a U.S. presidential candidate?” blogged Vera Lengsfeld — former civil rights activist and German parliamentarian. “It seems German taxpayers unwittingly financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.” There is also the question pending: how many German govt ministries gave money to the Clintons?

Hillary's mean-spirited "deplorables" remark revived horrid memories of "The Clintons Solidarity Act." As usual, she blamed everyone else. Their enemies got blamed for Bill's Oval Office BJ.

Cool as a cucumber, lying Hillary went on network TV all decked out in
virginal pearls, denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of
a VRWC."

NOTE: Back when Pres Bill got lewinskied, the cunning Clintons first took a poll. The poll told them Billy had to stall for time, to lie for as long as he possibly could, before coming clean.......

Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 800,000 dollars.

Seems like he was quite busy!

Thanks for posting that. I’m not spun up on Mozart.

Eva Braun had more honor than Hillary. She had no excuses,took the pill and that was that. There is a space waiting in Hell for the Clintons. They can say hi to the Hitlers.

This book probably reveals more negative stuff about Hillary than what she intended.

The fact that she still can’t identify the REAL reasons she lost - bad relations with the voting public, few public appearances (mostly private), focussing valuable resources on the wrong states by assuming others were already won - means she’s lousy at analyzing situations to decide a course of corrective action.

She also admits to being easily intimidated by others, especially strong men - note how she says she was “discombobulated” simply by DT moving slightly from his podium spot. How could a person like that be a strong leader in negotiations with other “strong men”, like Putin, Maduro, Assad, etc? Hillary would be completely intimidated every time, by her own admission.

Then there’s the parts she doesn’t talk about. And for a book that claims to be a tell-all, coming clean, the fact that she doesn’t talk about this means it’s bad, real bad.

She doesn’t admit that she was clearly drunk that night she made the “deplorables” remark - probably wasn’t even in the speech, just a spontaneous outburst. Why doesn’t she admit it? Because then she’d have to admit she has a drinking problem.

The final unanswered question - why couldn’t Hillary show up to meet her supporters on Election Night?

All through the election we were told how Hillary was in great health, “ready to serve”, given a clean bill of health by her doctor, ads said how she was ready to take that 3 a.m. call ....

It was all a lie, as we all openly saw. She couldn’t even make it to 1:30 a.m., because she was either already drunk or tranqilized, unable to handle the pressure.

These are all essential qualities of being President, and her lack of them shows how lucky America really was that she didn’t win.

She has no sense of responsibility. The DNC candidate was expected to win the presidency, hence the RNC’ers failure to live up to campaign promises now that Trump is president. Donna Brazil, or her Stumble leaving her shoe behind.... Hillary turned from a witch into a pumkin.

I have seen Mozart’s Opera, Don Giovanni in 1957 or 58 in a movie theater in Stuttgart Germany, when I worked and lived there

Perhaps he actually paid $50,000 and gave Paula a note that was ultimately paid in installments from a new fund that was able to borrow from a bank that was paid by a corporation billing the fledgling Clinton Foundation for financial planning services.

When ever possible, pay bills with other people’s money

Strike one is she knows she is unappealing and therefore could not make campaign appearances. Secondly, health would not allow her to campaign vigoursly. Third, arrogance and entitlement would not allow her to ‘go to the people’. Imagine if she were president today considering number 3.

I will only listen to this criminal reprobate when the executioner says: what are your last words.
