Deconstructing the logic of the Hillary voter

Put down the Fool-Aid and think

I know many of you are going to vote for Hillary Clinton for president, because she is a woman. That’s a shallow gender-biased reason but that’s your choice.

Some of you are going to vote for Hillary because she is the presumptive Democrat nominee. You have voted Democrat all your life and you are not going to change now, even if you do not think she can lead this country.

There are some people for whom it is perfectly logical to vote for Hillary Clinton for president — the senior executives at Goldman Sachs, General Electric, General Motors, most of the “green” energy companies and anyone else who makes their living off of open borders and crony capitalism.

Trump said the other day that Hillary Clinton’s biggest single accomplishment is avoiding prosecution over the email scandal.

After the FBI’s scathing report of her “extreme carelessness” and “recklessness”, followed quickly by her saying that she’s going to “talk to white people” about blacks, I can’t see how anyone other than blacks, can vote for her.

Hillary is in Springfield, Illinois, criticizing Donald Trump's lack of ability to understand the Constitution, and thus unable to be able to "uphold" it.

For Hillary Clinton to take this stance about the necessity for a President to "uphold and defend" the Constitution is pathetic, given the degree to which she and her husband and their Party have abandoned its principles and provisions!

For her to refer to the "land of Lincoln" and to Lincoln himself reminds me of the following Letter written by that great defender of the "principles" of the Constitution:

Letter to Henry L. Pierce and others

"In this "all honor to Jefferson" letter, Abraham Lincoln declines an invitation to speak in Boston at a birthday celebration honoring Thomas Jefferson. His letter, however, may have been intended to be read at the event. The letter contains familiar arguments which Lincoln used in speeches during the late 1850s, including an allusion to Euclid. It is loaded with quotable remarks, such as "he would would be no slave, must consent to have no slave." In one of the most thought-provoking passages, Lincoln praises Jefferson's foresight and wisdom evident in his planting an abstract truth in the Declaration of Independence, "applicable to all men and all times."

Springfield, Ills, April 6, 1859

Messrs. Henry L. Pierce, & others.

Gentlemen

Your kind note inviting me to attend a Festival in Boston, on the 13th. Inst. in honor of the birth-day of Thomas Jefferson, was duly received. My engagements are such that I can not attend.

Bearing in mind that about seventy years ago, two great political parties were first formed in this country, that Thomas Jefferson was the head of one of them, and Boston the head-quarters of the other, it is both curious and interesting that those supposed to descend politically from the party opposed to Jefferson should now be celebrating his birthday in their own original seat of empire, while those claiming political descent from him have nearly ceased to breathe his name everywhere.

Remembering too, that the Jefferson party were formed upon its supposed superior devotion to the personal rights of men, holding the rights of property to be secondary only, and greatly inferior, and then assuming that the so-called democracy of to-day, are the Jefferson, and their opponents, the anti-Jefferson parties, it will be equally interesting to note how completely the two have changed hands as to the principle upon which they were originally supposed to be divided. The democracy of to-day hold the liberty of one man to be absolutely nothing, when in conflict with another man's right of property. Republicans, on the contrary, are for both the man and the dollar; but in cases of conflict, the man before the dollar.

I remember once being much amused at seeing two partially intoxicated men engage in a fight with their great-coats on, which fight, after a long, and rather harmless contest, ended in each having fought himself out of his own coat, and into that of the other. If the two leading parties of this day are really identical with the two in the days of Jefferson and Adams, they have perfomed the same feat as the two drunken men.

But soberly, it is now no child's play to save the principles of Jefferson from total overthrow in this nation.

One would start with great confidence that he could convince any sane child that the simpler propositions of Euclid are true; but, nevertheless, he would fail, utterly, with one who should deny the definitions and axioms. The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society.

And yet they are denied and evaded, with no small show of success.

One dashingly calls them "glittering generalities"; another bluntly calls them "self evident lies"; and still others insidiously argue that they apply only to "superior races."

These expressions, differing in form, are identical in object and effect--the supplanting the principles of free government, and restoring those of classification, caste, and legitimacy. They would delight a convocation of crowned heads, plotting against the people. They are the van-guard--the miners, and sappers--of returning despotism.

We must repulse them, or they will subjugate us.

This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

All honor to Jefferson--to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and oppression.

Your obedient Servant
A. Lincoln--

Shame on you, Hillary Clinton! Do not use the name of this great man in your dishonest quest to gain power.

They’re voting for Hillary because they:

a) Hate men
b) Hate white people
c) Hate Jesus
d) Hate America
e) All of the above

~ “Deconstructing the logic of the Hillary voter” ~

The terms ‘logic’ and ‘Hillary voter’ are incompatible! Just my two farthings...

Didn't Hillary mention the Lincoln-Douglas debates?

I can see the headline now:

"Hillary supports Republican Presidential candidate."

Talking with Hillary voters there are only two reasons I have found why they plan to vote for her.

1. They hate Republicans / Trump - Basically it wouldn't matter who the party ran, they would vote for the candidate with the (D) next to their name.

2. They have Bill Clinton nostalgia - They think somehow by magic that electing Hillary will magically turn the country back to the 1990's, when apparently everything was better.

I have yet to hear one democrat honestly say they are supporting Hillary because they really like her and/or think she would make the great president.

Barf alert but true.

Not only do they hate Republicans, they think that they are fighting a terrible evil by voting for Clinton.

In the emotional haze in which they live their lives, Democrats truly think the Right/Republicans/Conservatives are evil ... and must be stopped at any cost. (What is just as surprising is that GOPE leaders truly think a reasonable person can negotiate with people who think this way!)
