Does not pride classically go before a fall?
If she's already transcended the fall given our long term, curious and somewhat checkered history then "creatrix" bless her.
Psssssssssssssssst. . .
We've taken a rather steep fall in recent years if you hadn't noticed.
That torture or "severe rendition" or "enemy combatants" or the suspension of habeas corpus, and the rule of law, have even entered our lexicon or national discourse under the bogus guise of national security, has my 13th generational maternal blood simmering at a slow boil and has for a long time.
I went overseas to school as a teenager.
I was starry eyed about what I thought America to be. Endoctranated into the programing of our moral supremacy I was thoroughly shocked to hear from the BBC what the CIA had done in Chile back then. I much later learned years later what we did to Iran in '53.
I became apolitical.
Upon my return I remember that seeing the fall of John Lennon followed shortly before the coronation of Reagan.
I thought, "this too shall pass" and held my nose whilst our alleged governance indulged in Iran-Contra in trading cocaine for arms and were all summarily pardoned.
I foolishly hoped they just would all go away.
Boy oh boy was I misguided in that wish.
To see the same players so effectively experience a resurgence in the national spotlight through dubious means was thoroughly obnoxious.
Then I unwittingly married a Republican. I didn't even realize he was one until our vitriolic divorce.
I again felt a flurry of hope when Clinton was elected and inaugurated, though I didn't vote for him. One could just feel it palpably. I voted for Hagelin on the TM ticket. I just loved the thought of a meditating Physicist being the Pres. That would totally be qualified and be defined as a throw away vote. One other person in my dinky town voted for him. I always wondered who that was.
Yeah I live in a deeply Blue state and I felt Clinton would win anyway. Yet the Pukes were successful in miring him in a bunch of baloney culminating in the totally lame impeachment hearings wherein the woman in question wasn't even complaining. In fact, she was bragging. I wrote some of my most scathing and funniest stuff about that and I was defending him.
To see those very same players from Iran/Contra and their minions "loot and waste" our treasury sans any accountability whatsoever has been totally reprehensible to me.
With Obama we have a chance to rectify things with a WHOLE NEW paradigm.
His potential nomination blows away the bogus myth of bigoted white supremacy.
It dispels the notion which negates our greatest asset. That would be our very diversity.
I'm sorry for Hillary and her supporters. But her message simply isn't heart centered as her husband's was years ago.
She is just too calculating and contrived and if we're gonna have a woman president, let it not be someone masquerading as a hawkish male.
There is a Michelle Obama event several miles away from where I'm located.
I want to support her with all this.
For various reasons I cannot. So I'm doing it this way.
America has sins upon our soul. Slavery, the slaughter of our Natives are nothing of which to be prideful. We've had horrible foreign policies for a REALLY long time.
The best thing for our security is not pissing off the rest of the world anymore. IMHO
But "Yes we can."
