In a speech broadcast on CNN today from Kissimmee Fl, Hillary (pants suit) Clinton gave an unenthusiastic speech on the economy and of course to offer her unwavering support for “the chosen one”.
She didn’t attack Palin as I had anticipated but you could still see the antipathy in her presentation. And why not, she has always been transparent in her revulsion, besides she wants “the chosen one” to lose almost as much as I do. She thinks she can “I told you so” in to the nomination in 2012.
The lackluster little talk did contain one line (I’ll have to paraphrase I haven’t found the transcript yet) that was vary telling, a perfect illustration of what has happed to the Democratic Party. She advised the pants suited zombies listening and watching to make sure they asked themselves, what’s in it for me, before making there decision in November.
Amazing is it not, that in 47 years a party can go from “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country” to “ask what’s in it for me”?
More JFK:
“And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe - the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.”
“To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves”
“We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.”
“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shank from this responsibility - I welcome it.”
“ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man”
All quotes from JFK, all the same inaugural address January 20th 1961.
President John F. Kennedy was not by any means a conservative but he was also not Nancy Polosie, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Joe Biden and sure as hell not Barack Obama.
Our country, the world for that matter has changed drastically in 47 years: scratch paper to lap tops, thermo nuclear destruction to global warming, leave it to beaver to MTV, rabbit ears to cable. Some changes are good some not so much and some are down right terrifying (see Obama/biden).
