Every now and then, Hillary Clinton lifts the curtain and gives the world a peek at her real views. It's not pretty.
New York's junior senator spoke this week to the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corp., raising the issue of tax-funded school vouchers — which many reformers see as a key tool, one that gives parents immediate alternatives to public schools that are failing to educate their kids.
Now, vouchers face a major obstacle in New York: The state constitution's Blaine Amendment arguably bans sending public funds to parochial schools.
Then there' the implacable opposition to vouchers of the United Federation of Teachers and its Albany-based parent, New York State United Teachers — politically potent unions that are entrenched in the failed status quo.
Any alternative to the present system is anathema to the unions and their bought-and-paid-for political minions.
However vouchers have succeeded in Milwaukee, Cleveland and parts of Florida — even if the unions claim that they simply take away precious resources from the public schools.
Hillary could have used that approach — dishonest as the argument may be.
But no, she had to go one step further.
One major demagogic step further.
Hillary waved the specter that vouch- ers would lead to a publicly-funded racist "School of the Church of the White Supremacist" or a radical Muslim "School of the Jihad."
"I won't stand for it," she added.
Of course she wouldn't.
No one would.
Certainly the hypersensitivity that informs public debate in New York and the nation is such that a hate academy of the sort Clinton conjures wouldn't last 10 seconds on the public dime.

She hates blacks. These analogies and metaphors come from her own imagination, not from real world examples. Its like a "slip" which psychiatrists tell us is a window into a persons real beliefs. Same for Hitlery.
She never has any black persons around her. She's never had a close relationship with a black and her husband was a closet racist. Go figure.
Got that right. Remember when she blamed the failure of hillaryCare on the fact that "the people had too much information?" Liberalism cannot succeed in an educated body politic.
BTW, hope you'll all check out my new 9/11 novel, "September Day."

I'm sure she's wisened up since then. She knows now to enact totalitarianism a small step at a time, to give us all time to be desensitized. Start with something like....medicaid...oh wait....already done. How 'bout free emergency room care for illegals....oh wait...already done. We're on our way.
I like that song. :-)
I heard the out-takes of this on Rush -- it was brutal, the woman is truly braindead. Whoever is writing her speeches is giving a wealth of data to her competitors -- if ever there was a reason not to vote dem its the school issues.
What's interesting is that in her analysis of how school vouchers would be distributed, she attributed a full 40% of the examples to extremely objectionable, and largely nonexistant, red herrings.
Can one even FIND a "white supremacist school" or "jihaadist school"? surely such numbers are not reflected in her examples (3 tacitly positive and 2 extremely negative); they are far from 40% of private schools, not even 4%, even 0.4% would be a high estimate!
If they exist in the USA, are they anywhere close to up to the minimal educational standards that would be required for school voucher approval?
And if such an "objectionable" school exists and is up to par in education quality, breadth & depth, does the gov't have the right to deny funding due to ideological debatability?
And - the punchline - if school vouchers can be denied (or otherwise objected to) due to school ideological content, can public government-run schools be de-funded for PRECISELY the same reason? that being: ideological content is so objectionable that public funding must be denied? consider the grade-school education that would produce a Senator whose rhetorical math is outrageous exaggeration on the order of 2 or 3 orders of magnitude!
"I won't stand for it," she added.
My big blue eyes. It's not the Robert Byrd schools or the Jihad Joe schools she's worried about. It's the Christian private schools she doesn't want to see increase in enrollment.
LOL, that's a good one! Amazing how many ugly pictures of her there are.
She's looked AND sounded even worse lately!!
Your new 9/11 novel, "September Day" sounds great. I looked on Jeff Head's site to read about it and followed the links!
Wow, I just saw this - it looks great!!
LOL.
thanks. Yes, saying Hillare "gets" ugly presumes she was ever attractive.
Please. I just got up.
the one where Robert Byrd is a deacon
And yes, that picture is the one of Hill kissing Suha Arafat ( "wife" of The Littlest Terrorist ) after Suha had accused the Israelis of poisoning Palestinian children...
LOL, she's just saying good morning to you. I told you things 'could get worse'!!
"...at least people know what she really thinks about public education"
We already knew how she felt about public schools...she sent her kid to a private school, a luxury she continues to deny us.
