Former Secretary of State and current candidate for president Hillary Clinton bemoaned "the erosion of people's faith in government" and alleged that "it undermines the ability of those of us who are trying to lead."
Clinton brushed aside widely perceived impressions that government has done a bad job by pointing out the early history of Christianity's failures. "Jesus' performance compares quite unfavorably with what modern government has been able to deliver," she said. "His people—the Christians—faced centuries of persecution. They were crucified. They were torn apart and devoured by wild animals for the amusement of spectators in the arenas of Rome and elsewhere."
"Contrast that with what modern government has done for its people," Clinton advised. "We've given people the means to survive—subsidized housing, subsidized food. Why, today a single mother with two children qualifies for $35,000 in government benefits. No one is crucified. No one is thrown to the lions. Government has delivered the goods. It should have more than earned the faith of the people."
"The fact that all these government benefits can be had without the burdens of toil demonstrates who the true miracle worker is," Clinton concluded. "I only hope that voters realize this when they go to the polls."
In related news, Clinton denounced what she called "an undeniable pattern in police-involved deaths" and called for "a more racially balanced distribution of persons shot by police. It is unacceptable that the ratio of African-American victims of police violence exceeds their proportion of the population. Redressing this imbalance is going to be a top priority of my administration when I'm elected president."

If she was Catholic.. She’d want to be the Pope.
Thank goodness she is a heartless wench.. She is in it for her..
And Bubba is her altar boy.
Now, you KNOW this is the kind of speech the tin-eared Marxist would write and want to give if not for her (somewhat wiser) handlers.
Small wonder, none of this is unbelievable.
Another fine column!

Cruz intends to take gov’t and turn it back to we the people, and I truly hope this time we will be vigilant and take our responsibility seriously.
When freedom is ignored it will quickly become corrupted and loses its luster, it needs constant attention to the hard work of polish and maintenance.
