>>>>I was there and I am no communist or far left winger and know that the fact that Hillary was there does not reflect badly on her.
Since you are here at FR, we will agree that you are probably not left wing. However, you must agree that the work you did in your youth for CORE and the Panthers did advance the agenda of left-wing issues here in America.
The difference between you and Hillary is that her exposure to the Revolutionary Doctrine that sweeping some churches in the 60s and 70s radicalized her. It was the foundation on which she built the rest of her “America is a bad place for anyone who is nor a rich, White male, and therefore white male Americans are all bad people. Remember, after further indoctrination from her self-chosen lesbian roommates at Wellesley, Hillary had moved in 6 years from Goldwater Girl to so far left that she too was working to free Black Panther murders.
Please read Hillary’s early writing and speeches. Look at her further tutoring by Sol Alinsky. Look at her work to bring down Nixon and destroy America’s military.
Hillary was and is a self-loathing American, and the roots of it begin with her magic moments with this “pastor.”
We agree. Hillary is a left wing AMerica hating, man hating person who should never ever occupy any position of power.
Where we disagree is that just because she admired King and was influenced by a minister does not mean that King and the Minister are America haters.
BTW I did not work for CORE, I knew what they were at the first meeting I went to and watched them with interest and alarm. And I did not work for the panthers,,I was recruited in a professional capacity by a local government for a health care involvement. But, this is interesting, while they were a scary bunch, there was something impressive about them. They were trying to help their kids in a very impressive way that was not antiamerican or dangerous. I think the movement for civil rights had some real heroes, some fine people, who were side by side with radicals and saboteurs.
THe CORE group was mostly white, radicalized, angry young people who hated their parents and all authority. They were in no way admirable. But the panthers were something else albeit it there werre sociopaths there as we all know.
The worst thing I have ever seen was the corruption of a noble movement by sociopaths who still reign.
Same thing with the Church,,good Christians are used by radicals.
PS the radicalization of young in the sixties was something that has always interested me.
I look at Hillary, we had so much in common in our youth and wonder why she and I were exposed to the same influences and ended up on different planets.
She had a mean mean Father and cold Mother. I did not. She went to school in Illinois and to Wellseley. I was in the South and had brief exposures to the east coast. She hates men/I love men. She also hates women, I truly believe that. She uses them but she doesn’t like them and she had no sisters. I had five sisters.
She grew up steeped in hate and ambition and without female relatives, sisters, to slap her around and without men she admired. I think that is why she is like she is. And why she tolerates Bill and uses him. She never dreamed, experienced or thought there was better.
Good Fathers, warm Mothers, good Sisters are necessary for women not to turn out like Hillary.
Besides, good southern girls don’t become radicals for the most part. Our manners are better and our Mothers would never stand for it.
