Hillary Clinton turns to Scripture: 'Suffering produces endurance'
The Los Angeles Times' Trail Guide ^ | October 30, 2016 | Chris Megerian in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

For Hillary Clinton, political life has brought a series of trials and tribulations. The repeated embarrassments of her husband’s infidelities. A failed first presidential campaign. The ceaseless – and to her supporters, baseless – investigations into her tenure as the country’s top diplomat.

Clinton didn’t mention any of this during her speech to the black parishioners at a Baptist church here Sunday. But the theme of perseverance was threaded through the remarks she delivered two days after the FBI said it was examining additional emails related to her private email server.

“Suffering produces endurance,” she said, quoting Romans 5:3. “And endurance produces character. And character produces hope.”

As Clinton often does, she traced the lesson of endurance to her mother, who was abandoned by her parents and suffered a difficult childhood....

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8

She is trying to gain the sympathy and goodwill of liberal women, and she can yet succeed with her target.

Mrs. Hugh Rodham is the one who created the impossible story of HRC being named for Sir Edmund Hillary. Who reared Mrs. Hugh if she was abandoned?

Time out—the Clinton campaign and MSM message is that she is way ahead of the polls and can’t lose.

Now we are supposed to feel sorry for her?

Whiplash time!

Forever the victim of the Vast Rightwing Conspiracy: the perpetually suffering and aggrieved Hillary Clinton.

Many people have suffered because of your ambitions, policies, and corruption Hillary. How have you suffered? You fly around in private jets, rub elbows with the uber rich and with celebrities, have 100s of millions of dollars, can live anywhere, go anywhere, and have just about anything you want materially, but you are suffering? How so? You are suffering because you’re lust to fulfill your narcissistic vision of yourself is at risk.

Nietzsche said, “That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.”

We can only hope that this time, it’s strong enough to finish the job.

Funny, when I think of Scripture and the Clintons in the same sentence, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 comes to mind.

The NIV reads,
“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Those would be good words for HillyBilly both, to reflect on.

To paraphrase what the bobblehead clowns on FNC are always saying about Trump, she brought it on herself.
