The Two Faces of Hillary

Life is full of strange dichotomy; the marriage of Mary Matalin and James Carville, the film success of Mel Gibson and Michael Moore, microbreweries and Bud Lite,Relativity and quantum physics, Global Warming and the recent freezing blizzards. The Romans, ever a practical people, even named a god to govern this; Janus. Janus had two faces, peering into the past and future. He was the god of dichotomy. He was the original oxymoron.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham could well be the modern equivalent of Janus; they both think they`re gods, and one of them (Bill) gazes to past glory while the other (HIllary) looks to her future. Bill is warm and personable while Hillary is frosty and bitter. Bill spreads love to all womenkind, Hillary would freeze a man solid. Bill works very hard to originate life within young, innocent girls, while Hillary supports the removal of said life through free, unfettered abortion. Oh, and both of them have two faces.

Hillary has always seemed to me to be the female personification of the Grim Reaper; she is as warm as liquid Helium and presents a dark and fearsome visage. It was said that Bill froze in terror when word reached him that Hillary had returned early from an ``outing``. (Personally, I suspect she was out harvesting souls.)
One piercing stare was said to freeze Bill in his tracks. She clearly has natural talent as the death head; she has been a strong supporter of abortion throughout her entire adult life. Don`t let her fool you now. Who is it that comes for the souls of the unborn on the slice-and-dice tables of Planned Parenthood? Is Hillary the last (and only) thing they see?

The New York Times (the nytwits) has a piece on Hillary today in which they claim she is trying to find compromise between the Witches of NOW and the Pro-Lifers. Riiiight! Read part of it here:


Clinton Seeking Shared Ground Over Abortions

By PATRICK D. HEALY, The New York Times

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




ALBANY (Jan. 24) - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Monday that the opposing sides in the divisive debate over abortion should find "common ground" to prevent unwanted pregnancies and ultimately reduce abortions, which she called a "sad, even tragic choice to many, many women."

In a speech to about 1,000 abortion rights supporters near the New York State Capitol, Mrs. Clinton firmly restated her support for the Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide in 1973. But then she quickly shifted gears, offering warm words to opponents of legalized abortion and praising the influence of "religious and moral values" on delaying teenage girls from becoming sexually active.

"There is an opportunity for people of good faith to find common ground in this debate - we should be able to agree that we want every child born in this country to be wanted, cherished and loved," Mrs. Clinton said.

Her speech came on the same day as the annual anti-abortion rally in Washington marking the Roe v. Wade anniversary.

Mrs. Clinton's remarks were generally well received, though the audience was silent during most of her overtures to anti-abortion groups. Afterward, leaders of those groups were skeptical, given Mrs. Clinton's outspoken support for abortion rights over the years.

Mrs. Clinton, widely seen as a possible candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2008, appeared to be reaching out beyond traditional core Democrats who support abortion rights. She did so not by changing her political stands, but by underscoring her views in preventing unplanned pregnancies, promoting adoption, recognizing the influence of religion in abstinence and championing what she has long called "teenage celibacy."


Now, this from my January archives:


Skating on Thin Ice
Why haven`t we heard more about this in the mainstream media? Hillary manages to offend just about every red state American with this load of buffalo chip dip (not that she had thick, pre-global warming ice to skate on). We need to keep these little slip-ups of hers in the public consciousness for her presidential run; if everyone really knew what she was all about she wouldn`t stand a snowmans chance in the post-global warming world of gaining any traction.

Senator Hillary Clinton Blasts Bush Administration over Abortion
NEW YORK, January 12, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Abortion crusader and New York Senator Hillary Clinton condemned US President George W. Bush Tuesday, claiming his withdrawal of funding from organizations that commit or promote abortions is harming women. Speaking at an International Women's Health Coalition-sponsored dinner, Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right," and said this was based on decisions reached at the 1994 U.N. Population Conference in Cairo, as well as the 1995 U.N. women's conference in Beijing, where Clinton gave a keynote address. She argued that the Bush administration has failed to uphold the so-called reproductive rights of women, by withdrawing funding from abortion-supporting organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).Clinton also maintained that the President’s focus on abstinence in sex education was hampering efforts to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, despite the UN’s own admission that condom failure rate for preventing HIV transmission may be as high as 20 percent. "ABC is a good strategy, but it has three parts to it and we need to remind the administration of that". The highly successful Ugandan ABC program first emphasizes abstinence, being faithful within marriage, and lastly, condom use, as measures to prevent the HIV transmission rate. Experts say the Ugandan success is comparable to a "highly effective vaccine." The last, least emphasized and least effective part of the Ugandan program, which involves condoms, is presumably the component that Clinton was referring to.The innocuous-sounding International Women's Health Coalition promotes abortion and contraception through funding programs in Africa, South and Central America. Their web site describes “. . . the world's most challenging health and rights issue” as “comprehensive sexuality education for adolescents and young adults.”IWHC also actively opposes the Bush administration policies that oppose the funding of abortion. “We have worked with other organizations and governments to defeat U.S. efforts at meetings in Asia and at the UN to remove ‘reproductive health’ and other key phrases from negotiating texts,” their web site states.

Does anyone doubt that this is the real Hillary?



Who is she trying to fool?

Are we seeing the the "extreme makeover" of Hillary? Just like Bill, she has seen the writing on the wall and it says Americans are becoming center right. Leftist political issues have been continuously rejected for years if not decades. Bill realized this after the '94 elections and swung right himself just to make himself relevant. (It must have put a strain on their relationship, ha ha). The question is - how far will she take it? And will the American people buy it? Or more to the point, will women voters buy it? I know my wife won't - she liked Bill but she never liked Hillary.
