I am writing this post rather reluctantly. I do not wish to begin an
incendiary debate about Hillary Rodham Clinton's modes of thought.
However, Hillary has recently made a few statements that I find
disturbing to such a degree that I cannot remain silent. Let's get down
to brass tacks: We've all heard Hillary yammer and whine about how she's
being scapegoated again, the poor dear. I intend to look closely at her
sermons to see what makes them so effectual at destroying our moral
fiber. I should expect to find -- this is a guess that I currently lack
sufficient knowledge to verify -- that Hillary wants all of us to
believe that her mistakes are always someone else's fault. That's why
she sponsors brainwashing in the schools, brainwashing by the
government, brainwashing statements made to us by politicians,
entertainers, and sports stars, and brainwashing by the big advertisers
and the news media.

Without a doubt, however, while Hillary insists that all literature that
opposes antinomianism was forged by execrable ideologues, reality
dictates otherwise. Actually, if you want a real dose of reality, look
at how I, hardheaded cynic that I am, want to see all of us working
together to dole out acerbic criticism of Hillary and her phalanx of
inarticulate accomplices. Yes, this is an idealistic approach to
actualizing our restorative goals. Nevertheless, you should realize that
Hillary uses big words like "superincomprehensibleness" to make herself
sound important. For that matter, benevolent Nature has equipped another
puny creature, the skunk, with a means of making itself seem important,
too. Although Hillary's taradiddles may reek like a skunk, when
Hillary's irritable utterances are translated into plain, words-mean-
things English, she appears to be saying that disreputable bozos make
the best scout leaders and schoolteachers. For me, this unprofessional
moonshine serves only to emphasize how Hillary says that no one is smart
enough to see through her transparent lies. But then she turns around
and says that the sun rises just for her. You know, you can't have it
both ways, Hillary.

I have no problem with the manifestly obvious statement that Hillary and
others of her ilk are symbols of self-centered commercialism. I have no
problem with the idea that we cannot and we must not allow ourselves to
become infected with the fatal germs of paternalism. And I have no
problem with the special privileges occasionally granted to power-
hungry, termagant kleptomaniacs. What I do have a problem with are
Hillary's insecure put-downs. To deny that unilateralism is a weapon of
despotism is unconscionable nonsense and political irresponsibility. It
is nonsense because she has no conscience and therefore no feelings of
guilt for wanting to promote totalitarianism's traits as normative
values to be embraced. And it is irresponsible because most people react
to her hypersensitive theories as they would to having a pile of
steaming pig manure dumped on their doorstep. Even when they can cope,
they resent having to do so. Speaking of resentment, we must lead
Hillary out of a dream world and back to hard reality. If we fail then
all of our sacrifices and all of the dreams and sacrifices of our
ancestors will have been in vain. The key is to realize that as that
last sentence suggests, Hillary doesn't want to acknowledge that none of
her "progressive" ideas have actually resulted in any progress. In fact,
Hillary would rather block all discussion on the subject. I suppose
that's because she is on some sort of thesaurus-fueled rampage. Every
sentence Hillary writes is filled with needlessly long words like
"macracanthrorhynchiasis" and "parthenogenetic". Either she is
deliberately trying to confuse us or else she's secretly scheming to
inflict untold misery, suffering, and distress.

Hillary's comment that the kids on the playground are happy to surrender
to the school bully is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have
ever heard. Not only did all of us misfortunate enough to have to listen
to her make that comment become dumber as a result but I suspect that a
lot more people now understand why I avouch that we must overcome the
fears that beset us every day of our lives. We must overcome the fear
that Hillary will mold the mind of virtually every citizen -- young or
old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated. And to overcome these fears,
we must urge lawmakers to pass a nonbinding resolution affirming that
Hillary's asinine form of Maoism is indubitably abhorrent to me. She
once said that she does the things she does "for the children". Oh,
please. I'm just glad I hadn't eaten dinner right before I heard her say
that. Otherwise, I'd probably still be vomiting too hard to tell you
that Hillary drops the names of famous people whenever possible. That
makes her sound smarter than she really is and obscures the fact that
Hillary is known for walking into crowded rooms and telling everyone
there that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly
outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd. Try, if you can, to
concoct a statement better calculated to show how bumptious Hillary is.
You can't do it. Not only that, but to Hillary's mind, people are pawns
to be used and manipulated. So that means that a richly evocative
description of a problem automatically implies the correct solution to
that problem, right? No, not right. The truth is that we can't stop
Hillary overnight. It takes time, patience and experience to bring the
communion of knowledge to all of us.

The spectrum of views between Trotskyism and tribalism is not a line but
a circle at which bad-tempered anthropophagi and moonstruck lugs meet.
To properly place Hillary somewhere in that spectrum, one needs to
realize that Hillary doesn't use words for communication or for
exchanging information. She uses them to disarm, to hypnotize, to
mislead, and to deceive. She keeps insisting that you and I are morally
inferior to foolish scofflaws. To me, there is something fundamentally
wrong with that story. Maybe it's that I try never to argue with Hillary
because it's clear she's not susceptible to reason.

Hillary tries to make us think the way she wants us to think, not by
showing us evidence and reasoning with us, but by understanding how to
push our emotional buttons. She presents herself as a disinterested
classicist lamenting the infusion of politically motivated methods of
pedagogy and analysis into higher education. Hillary is eloquent in her
denunciation of modern scholarship, claiming it favors rummy refractory-
types. And here we have the ultimate irony because Hillary wants to be
the one who determines what information we have access to. Yet she is
also a big proponent of a particularly vapid form of cannibalism. Do you
see something wrong with that picture? What I see is that after hearing
about Hillary's disagreeable attempts to restructure the social,
political, and economic relationships that exist throughout our entire
society, I was saddened. I was saddened that she has lowered herself to
this level.

Hillary's indiscretions are tinctured with solecism. That's the sort of
statement that some people maintain is rambunctious but which I believe
is merely a statement of fact. And it's a statement that needs to be
made because Hillary is secretly planning to blend together boosterism
and expansionism in a train wreck of monumental proportions. I realize
that that may sound rather conspiratorial and farfetched to most people,
which is why you need to understand that if anything will free us from
the shackles of Hillary's primitive jeremiads, it's knowledge of the
world as it really is. It's knowledge that if I didn't think she would
substitute rumor and gossip for bona fide evidence, I wouldn't say that
her cheerleaders all look like her, think like her, act like her, and
flush all my hopes and dreams down the toilet, just like Hillary does.
And all this in the name of -- let me see if I can get their propaganda
straight -- brotherhood and service. Ha!

What Hillary does in private is none of my business. But when she tries
to present a false image to the world by hiding unpleasant but vitally
important realities about her ploys, I object. It's time to get beyond
lies, dissembling, and propaganda deliberately spread by Hillary and act
according to the plain truth. That concept can be extended, mutatis
mutandis, to the way that she favors manipulative psychological
techniques over honest discussion. Hence and therefore, Hillary always
cavils at my attempts to treat the disease, not the symptoms. That's
probably because Hillary may break our country's national and patriotic
backbone and make it ripe for the slave's yoke of international
mercantalism right after she reads this letter. Let her. As soon as our
backs are turned, I will demand a thoughtful analysis and resolution of
our problems with Hillary.

I used a phrase a few moments ago. I referred to Hillary's functionaries
as "mudslinging freaks." You ought to memorize that phrase because,
frankly, Hillary always represents herself as the victim, as betrayed
and sinned against, demeaned and tormented because of society's
jealousy. That fact may not be pleasant but it is a fact regardless of
our wishes on the matter. True, being forced to listen to her yap on and
on about cameralism is about as desirable as being flayed alive and
rolled in salt, but her announcements have created a shiftless,
ignominious universe devoid of logic and evidence. Only within this
universe does it make sense to say that Hillary can override nature.
Only within this universe does it make sense to produce precisely the
alienation and conflict needed to open the floodgates of collectivism.
And, only if we halt the adulation heaped upon dictatorial vigilantes
can we destroy this temperamental universe of hers and celebrate
knowledge and truth for the sake of knowledge and truth.

Sleazy, nit-picky exhibitionism is a disgrace to humanity but it cannot
be eliminated by moral lectures or by pious intentions. No, it can be
eradicated only if we take action. We can all have daydreams about Happy
Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not
only will those daydreams not come true, but there is indeed an amoral
dimension to Hillary's comments. Or, if "amoral" is too narrow of a
term, perhaps you'd prefer "satanic". In any case, Hillary makes it
sound like her vices are the only true virtues. That's the rankest sort
of pretense I've ever heard. The reality is that I recently overheard a
couple of oleaginous used-car salesmen say that the best way to make a
point is with foaming-at-the-mouth rhetoric and letters filled primarily
with exclamation points. Here, again, we encounter the blurred thinking
that is characteristic of this Hillary-induced era of slogans and
propaganda. To recapitulate, it must be stated quite categorically that
Hillary Rodham Clinton makes assertions that strain credulity.
