In this letter to the editor, I am writing about a phenomenon in today’s politics that having no shame doesn’t seem to matter.
What in the world does it take to feel shame? For me, not a whole lot when I do something wrong and I know that to be true of all the wonderful, loving, morally responsible people I know personally in Kansas and Arizona. Most of us are willing to admit we make mistakes. Not true in national politics.
Hillary Clinton, running for president, has no shame. Does she even have a conscience? That appears not to be the case.
Why do I pick on Hillary? She’s an extension of Obama (who has no shame either) and that spells nothing but trouble for all of us if she becomes president. What in the world makes her think she has a divine right to be our next president?
In a number of previous letters, I have listed one failure after another of this administration. In the interest of space, I won’t again. Why would we want to go down the same path for another four years with Hillary and her liberal progressive socialist agendas no different than Obama’s? That would be insanity.
Hillary is shameless about how she is running her campaign. It is all a charade. There is nothing authentic about it. Everything is calculated to make her look good and for us not to see the real Hillary. People are selected before she talks to ask her soft questions, even children are recruited. It’s all staged. It’s all a dog and pony show designed to give us a side of Hillary that isn’t reality.
It’s all theatre with Hillary! Yes, you could say there is acting with all politicians running for president, but nothing even remotely close to what we see with Hillary.
What you see with Hillary is not what you get. Read Edward Klein’s book “Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary.” She is brutal to people behind closed doors, especially her security. Liberal mainstream media is shameless showing her smiling wherever she goes in order to prop her up.
She is mean to her security detail. How many thousands upon thousands is spent of taxpayer monies to protect her, husband Bill, and daughter Chelsea yet she has no shame taking away the guns of law abiding citizens.
During her four year tenure as Secretary of State the world has become the biggest mess ever. From one end of planet earth to the other end our relations with rogue nations like Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, and others have never been worse. She has no shame denying the mess created by her and Obama. Nor has she had any major accomplishments in that role, but it is obvious she could care less about that fact.
Could her email scandal of using a private homemade server get any worse as the FBI investigates? Shamelessly she says” I never received classified emails on my private server” while 1300 classified emails have been found to date, and counting. She said a private email server was legal although a court said it was not. National security became compromised big time in the process. Virtually everything she said about her private email server has turned out not to be true.
Most of us, at the very least, would admit incompetence and stop lying about it. Not Hillary.
Hillary is anything but transparent. It is obvious she didn’t want, as a public servant for four years, anybody to know what she was up to. Could there be a conflict of interest between her tenure as a government employee while she and Bill’s wealth climbed into the millions? Chances are 100 to 1 that was the case.
What? Are you kidding me? She wants to be a woman’s greatest defender when being raped. Please! She is an enabler of her serial sexual abuser husband Bill, but neither one shows the slightest concern about his abominable past with women. Any other politician, Democrat or Republican, would be in a jump suit, but both get a pass on his predatory behavior. It’s the height of why shame should matter, along with all the other things mentioned.
There’s much more that Hillary should be ashamed of, like being the most honored politician of Planned Parenthood in the business of killing poor defenseless unborn babies. Nor does she have any qualms running a campaign program of giving away free stuff on your taxpayer dime and mine – for no other reason but to get votes. Etcetera – much more.
Perhaps worst of all, far too many Americans, including Christians, have no shame voting to put two corrupt people with one scandal after another and no moral principles back in the White House; two individuals in a shameful marriage who will do anything to get elected. God help us!
