Praising High Court, Hillary Clinton Assails G.O.P. Field
The New York Times' First Draft ^ | June 26, 2015 | Nicholas Fandos

FAIRFAX, Va. — Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday night berated her Republican presidential rivals for protesting the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing gay marriage and for resisting stricter gun laws after the mass shooting in Charleston.

Reflecting on what she called “an emotional roller-coaster of a day,” Mrs. Clinton lauded the 5-4 decision recognizing gay marriage and renewed her calls for “common sense” gun control. But she saved her strongest words for criticizing the Republican contenders, who she said “seemed determined to lead us right back into the past” on those and other issues.

“Instead of trying to turn back the clock, they should be joining us in saying loudly and clearly saying no — no to discrimination, once and for all,” Mrs. Clinton said. “I am asking them, please, don’t make the rights, the hopes of any American into a political football for this 2016 campaign.”

Following the court’s decision Friday morning, several Republican presidential hopefuls, including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, called for a constitutional amendment allowing states to define marriage as they wish....

No one wants to be called a bigot. And by the time people start not caring what they are called, it might be too late. I see some kind of insurrection, civil or race war coming our way before too much longer. I kinda hope I’m wrong because I’m not 25 anymore.

I think that if the economy collapses, a lot of people may finally snap.

That’s the nonsense that the Left tried with Sarah Palin around 2011. It doesn’t work. If Palin had wanted to run for president, she’d have caused an earthquake, with or without a few stories, more or less, being written about her.

If you didn’t want to read this stuff you wouldn’t be posting on this thread.

Can't catch a parallel between Her Satanic Heinous and Sarah Palin. And no, I don't read this stuff. I am concerned about the souls of my fellow Freepers putting themselves in the near occasion of sin, even having impure thoughts dwelling on the Benghazi Bytche. The best antidote is avoidance, for you, for us, for the Republic.

Reading about Hillary and the Democrats is an occasion to sin? Huh?

Sorry, gentlemen. I’m a bit daft tonight with the two Supreme Court rulings. I am, however, not interesting in reading about Clinton, but that is my affliction.

Who forced you to click on the thread? I don’t think I did, did I?

Indeed not. I was fully cognizant, a free agent, who willingly and freely did click. The point, however, is that I clicked to convince you to refrain from threads about ######, but I now see the error of my ways. You too are a free agent, and free to post articles about #####, and I promise to just let it alone.

You didn’t “bother” me, it’s just that we cannot refrain from talking about her. I will tell you this: If she is elected there’s about a 95% chance I will be living in another country shortly thereafter. Mr. Obama is evil, but he’s somewhat lazy, like the ACORN lawyer that he was. She is malicious & paranoid and REALLY wants to settle scores.

I agree with your assessments of both of them. His laziness coupled with his abhorrence of America have made him a most useful dupe of his masters. And yes, #####'s vindictiveness will know no bounds once in the West Wing.

At the risk of blowing your cover, where would you go? Is there such a place worth going?

Many FReepers are already there and you can live like a King or Queen on about $1,500 a month. One who I correspond with has an oceanfront villa at that price point. Try that in Costa Rica!

That is called a pay off! All of both houses are on the take. It’s called the NWO and uni-party.

Thanks for the info. Here in Hawaii we have many connections to the Philippines through Filipinos who live here. Our priest, who I have gotten close with, is returning to his home village for a three year ministry, and has invited some of us to visit, so perhaps I will be able to see what you are talking about. And let us hope none of us are driven out of our great Republic!

I think the race war is already in progress. The blacks are already killing the whites and/or calling for it. It’s just that no one is fighting back.
