Just stop, Hillary. Please.

Just stop, Hillary. Please.

By Kathleen Parker Opinion writer March 13 at 7:52 PM

She can’t let go.

She can’t stop talking about what happened. She wrote an entire book about it. Now she’s telling people in other countries about why she should have won. In India last weekend, she told an audience that she won in all the smart, cool places — and then hit a pandering low that puts a catalogue of others to shame.

Hillary Clinton just can’t quit herself.

Not then. Not now.

In case you missed it, she won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes but lost the electoral college. Like it or not, our electoral system was set up this way — with both a popular vote and the electoral college — ostensibly as a bulwark against mob rule.

Americans either love or hate the electoral college, depending on whether it benefits them. And every few years, we want to scrap the whole thing and let the majority have its way. Or, should I say, let demographics and birthrates rule the day.

Irony, meanwhile, is one happy glutton these days. Donald Trump’s unexpected victory meant that the “mob,” as perceived by Clinton supporters, merged with the electoral college to pick a populist demagogue.

KPark used to be conservative friendly. She swung left.

Now Hillary is losing the loyalty of her peeps.

This will not end well for Ms Rodham.

Some deranged liberal skank had on her Twit page:

"He Cheated, that's what happened"

Prominently in view.

Being a non-forgiving sort, I had a good laugh at her agony.

Hillary needs to keep yakking it up and “writing” books.

Sounds like it’s backfiring; and that’s a good thing.

"Anybody not willing to accept the results of an election is a danger to democracy" -- Hillary Clinton.

As long as things go her way, she's pro-free elections. Otherwise, those idiot voters don't know how to vote right.

Lefties are, as near as I can tell, an improbable coalition of folks who generally hate each others guts, but are willing to work together to plunder the national government. HR Clinton was tolerated at best, so long as she could deliver the goods. The millions of $$$ accrued by their phony balogna “charity” must have pissed off all the right people, but there it must be weird scenes inside the gold mine at this point.

I say DONT STOP BELIEVING HILLARY!!!

The more she stays in the news, the better.

This line is priceless:

Such a lack of awareness, combined with Clinton’s clear disdain for millions of Americans whom she would have served as president, confirms she shouldn’t have won after all.

We came THAT close to this becoming a reality. Thank you, Lord.

The only thing limiting Hillary's excuses for her election loss are the focus group phrase testing releases which pan out to raise the most cash and the crowds she can still tap.

The end is near. She is hitting up rickshaw drivers and barefoot snake charmers now while dodging feces in the streets. She used to complain about Arkansas. Now she is begging in the street in Calcutta.

By the time she is done even the Left will agree she belongs on a gallows.

BINGO

They refuse to accept the results of any election they don’t win. They are in violation of the oath of office they took. They refuse to enforce laws they don’t like, as if our judicial system is a cafeteria or smörgåsbord. This has been going on for decades. If we had a real press it wouldn’t be half as bad.

Remember, in the Soviet Union they had to report things a certain way or they’d be killed or sent to a Gulag in Siberia. The American press does it without coercion.

That's it, on a stick. I once heard Walter Mondale, just before his big loss to Reagan, call for a final push from the "degraded, the disillusioned, the disaffected and the damned." It's who they are, and as long as they stick together, they'll be politically a force to deal with. (Incidentally, that quote is not verbatim ... I recall it the best I can, but can't find a transcript of it anywhere.)

Larry O'Connor had a great suggestion yesterday on his afternoon talker on WMAL here in DC: he said if the Dems hate the electoral college so much, they can prove it during their presidential primary.

The guy/gal with the most votes nationwide wins the nomination. Period. No more superdelegate BS--OK, Hills?

Remember, in the Soviet Union they had to report things a certain way or they’d be killed or sent to a Gulag in Siberia. The American press does it without coercion. -------------------------------------------------------------

The American press is Progressivism, and Progressivism is the American press. It was sent on this road by FDR when he subverted free speech in this country with the FCC, created in 1936, and used to keep him in officer for two more terms.

The networks started as radio networks. They were forged into Progressive media networks by FDR, hardened into Progressive ideology during WWII, and have only gotten worse with time.


"Liberal Fascism" has a long history.  President Franklin Roosevelt used the FCC to shape American mass media into a Progressive propaganda machine. From reason.com:

It did not take long for broadcasters to get the message. NBC, for example, announced that it was limiting broadcasts "contrary to the policies of the United States government." CBS Vice President Henry A. Bellows said that "no broadcast would be permitted over the Columbia Broadcasting System that in any way was critical of any policy of the Administration." He elaborated "that the Columbia system was at the disposal of President Roosevelt and his administration and they would permit no broadcast that did not have his approval." Local station owners and network executives alike took it for granted, as Editor and Publisher observed, that each station had "to dance to Government tunes because it is under Government license." Some dissident radio commentators, such as Father Charles Coughlin and Boake Carter, gained wide audiences. But radio as a whole was firmly pro-Roosevelt—and both Coughlin and Carter were eventually forced off the air for pushing the envelope too far.

When you’ve lost Kathleen Parker, that’s pretty bad.
