Hillary Clinton is dedicated to government maternalism, note that I used the feminine rather than the usual paternalism, cradle to the grave government care for all of us.
I do realize that her concern is a hoax, she panders to the naive to gain power and the riches that go with high office. The media promotes her, although they know what she is and what she wants, to get the real celebrity, her rogue husband, the silver tongued devil, back in the White House, even in a lesser roll.

I thought so. Go to the back of the line. The next time you bother to comment here, read what Professor Grimsely posts, respond to its subject, ignore your political urges, and try to say something intelligent. I know it's hard. Just try.

But, Mr. Luker, the professor's subject was assholes and the Clintons were the first thing that came to my mind. The world is full of assholes but they aren't the problem that the Clintons are. Most of us want serious minded persons in the White House and while we seldom get them the Clinton's seriousness is only in profiteering and power. OK, I grant that Bill was also in it for the fun and the sex but Hillary craves power like humans crave air. I'm sorry my comments didn't reach the intellectual level you deem necessary, but it is awkward to speak of assholes, only the most daring of professors would undertake the subject.

Mr. Clayson, I am not a supporter of the Clintons. World history, however, is replete with examples, large and small, of tyrrants and oppressors far, far worse than either of the Clintons could be, by any stretch of the imagination. We try to have serious discussion here. If you're historical sense is so impoverished and your domestic political trigger so half-cocked that you think Professor Grimsley's post was an appropriate place to launch into an anti-Clinton rant, you don't belong here.

Mr. Luker, world history is indeed replete with examples of..."tyrants and oppressors" but the worst of them have litte affect on me, I grant there is some greater residual affect on many people, e.g., there are still people around that survived Hitler and Stalin and their cruelty and wars and there are those who survived Mao's Red Guard. The Clintons are students of history, they, especially Hillary, have studied and used the political machinations of "tyrants and oppressors" plus those of lesser bullies in the socialist inclined cultures of Europe, to gain their end. I innocently believed the revolution our pathetic ragtag anarchists wanted in the 60s had died but I was wrong, it has risen from its ashes in the person of Hillary Clinton. She hasn't adapted the baggy clothing and beret of the Russian revolutionaries and Che Guevera types but if it would help gain votes she would. Professor Grimsley would serve us all better to consider this Clinton inevitable phenomenon rather than discussing assholes at such great length, although I repeat myself. I realize he considers himself at the cutting edge of open debate in discussing assholes, it is kind of cute but not serious.
