POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY HANNAH STRANGE IN THE TIMES
Well, here is the sad and truly bitter story of American politics.
A thoughtful candidate reflects on an important social phenomenon, and the truth is he is largely correct, despite the distaste of many babyishly-sensitive Americans.
A thoughtless candidate comes along - telling us how she is Annie Oakley with her gun in the front pew of her church or how she gulps beer after work - and condemns the thoughtful remarks.
She sounds like one of the throwbacks who are fond of yelling "love it or leave it."
Hillary's remarks in general are on a level with the obtuse bumper-sticker I used to see in the U.S.: "My Drop-out Can Beat Up Your Honor Student!"
Please tell me how you ever get progress this way? It's on the level of chimpanzees or packs of wild dogs.
It's simply an insane basis for voting for the leader of a great nation.
And the entire world knows what America needs more than anything is a new set of thoughtful and reflective leaders.
And, Hillary, that sure does not include you.
