Whatever feelings predominate in the members of a given society at a given moment in time, they will serve to color the whole of that society and determine its moral character. And if there is nothing good there to pervade that society, it will destroy itself, or be brutalized by the triumph of evil instincts.
—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
During his latest appearance on the Hugh Hewitt show, Mark Steyn unleashed a ferocious barrage on Hillary Clinton that one wishes other prominent conservatives had the testicular fortitude to repeat relentlessly until her and her corrupt crime family were vanquished from American Life.
The first volley came in response to Representative Jim Jordan’s to Ma-damn Secretary at yesterday’s hearing on Benghazi:
JORDAN: In that email you sent to your family, here’s what you said at 11:00 that night, approximately one hour after you told the American people it was a video, you say to your family two officers were killed today in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group. So you tell the American people one thing, you tell your family an entirely different story. Also, on the night of the attack, you had a call with the president of Libya. Here’s what you said to him. Ansar al-Sharia is claiming responsibility. It’s interesting. Mr. Khattala, one of the guys arrested and charged, actually belonged to that group. And finally, and most significantly, the next day, within 24 hours, you had a conversation with the Egyptian prime minister. You told him this. We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest. Let me read that one more time…
HEWITT: Mark Steyn, that is damning.
STEYN: Yes, it is damning, and as I said, it’s particularly damning when you know that two days later, she looked the parents of Tyrone Woods, who died on a thankless bit of barbarous sod in an imploded state that she made, who died, gave his life to save other people on the roof of that building, in the early hours of Benghazi, she looked his parents in the eyes and said we’re going to have that video maker arrested.
Do you know what the issue for me in this election is? You know, you can have philosophical discussions about left and right, and conservatism and liberalism. And as I’ve said to you before, the Swedes come by their liberalism more or less honestly, so do the Norwegians. It’s the corruption here. This woman is corrupt, and she, and at a critical moment on a critical date in American history, she opened her mouth and vomited forth a sewer of lies that everybody else is supposed to just try and swim their way through to find out the reality of what went on. And if you’re a foreign government leader, you know the truth. If you’re the American people, you get lied to.
Hillary’s corruption infuses every aspect of her body and Soul. She and her Rapist Husband and their simpering toadies [one of which may be a, at worst, Jihadist spy and, at best, an Islamic sympathizer] have nothing but contempt for Morality, Reason, and The Truth. There’s an all-pervading Blackness in their Hearts and a Wanton Savagery in their Minds.
And she lives in a deranged funhouse, as Mark explains:
…I think it is this interesting, inverted world that Hillary Clinton lives in. There is a real place called Benghazi. It’s a real town that is a hellhole. In part, it’s a hellhole because of decisions she made. And as a consequence, real people die. Their lives are over. Their children will never know their parents. There are real world consequences. But to her, what matters is the political framing that she can construct around this, you know, this is just a Republican effort to get to her.
And you know, Henry Wotten’s famous line was that an ambassador is a man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country. And diplomacy, Hillary Clinton State Department-style, has entirely inverted that so that what matters in the immediate hours, even as Benghazi is unfolding, is deciding on the lies you’re going to tell not foreigner, as Sir Henry Wotten said, the lies you are going to tell your own people. And it’s actually a remarkable glimpse of the way Hillary looks at it, and actually of the way she would conduct foreign affairs were she to become president.
More outgoing fire:
…Chris Stevens was her guy. He agreed with her on the Arab Spring, and the new Libya, and all the other nonsense. He wasn’t my guy. He and I wouldn’t have agreed on 3% of anything going on in the world today. But when it came to it, she was willing not only to let him die, but dishonor him in death. She’s responsible. You know, when you decide, Libya was Hillary’s war. And she had a responsibility to secure American facilities there, and at the very least, not to dishonor those who sacrificed their lives there.
In Hillaria’s depraved way of thinking, Honor is something reserved for Suckers.
So…why did even the pro-Bernie members of the Media join the circle of wagons around the Hildebeast? Mark is dead solid perfect:
STEYN: …But what you see in the poll numbers is just this terrible attrition that people don’t trust her, people don’t believe she’s honest. And I think at a certain level, Democrats are quite up front about that. They just don’t care about it. And they’re not interested in whether she’s honorable or not. I remember being told years ago at the start of the impeachment trial, I arrived in Washington, a largely foreign city to me, and I had a cup of tea with a big Democrat insider, and I pointed out to him why was it of the lefties, why was it only foreigners like Christopher Hitchens who were disgusted by the President? And he said to me, well, Bill Clinton is our guy, and we’re sticking with him. And I couldn’t understand that. And of course, they were right. He was their guy, and they stuck with him, and he won. And similarly, they think they can do that with her. But I don’t think so. I don’t think it’s going to work this time, because even if you removed every single damaging scandal from around Hillary’s neck, and she’s quite competent in her answers today. She was quite effective. In her best moments, she was confident and informed and effective. But when you see her on the stump in Iowa and New Hampshire and everywhere else, people don’t connect with her, and it’s not going to be enough this time. HEWITT: And there’s nothing she can do about this, is there? I mean, I don’t know of anyone who is going to change their opinion on Hillary Clinton between now and next year.
STEYN: Well, I think there will be. I think there will be people who just, I think to a certain extent, particularly on the Democrat side, you know, Obama was a romance for them. They fell in love with the idea of Obama. And regardless of what the reality was, the idea was sufficiently fresh that they were starry-eyed, and he sort of wafted across the finish line.
HEWITT: But not with her.
STEYN: And I don’t think, it’s hard to have a romance at the idea of Hillary. When you look at these sort of, you just watch the hearings with the sound turned down, the condescending pictures…the expressions, the boredom, the sneering looks, you can’t have, you can’t fall in love with Hillary this late in the game.
Well…you can fall in love with such a creature if you’re a slug, like Sid Blumenthal – he would have made a top-notch Nazi or Commissar.
Do please take the time to read the rest of Mark’s barrage [or listen to — there’s a link at that link]
The fact that this woman stands a good chance of being the next President is a very sad commentary on the wretched state of American Culture as a whole. It is also an indication that we are in the process of suffering the same fate as The Roman Republic.
If ‘Barack Hussein Obama’ is Caesar, Hillaria is Tiberius [at least, let us poor sheeple enjoy a little Augustus first!] — thoroughly corrupt, with a perverted Soul filled with a black bile that oozes hatred for everything that is Honest, Decent, and True.
While ‘Obama’ and his Jarrett Junto are a menace [like, say, Lenin was], La Cosa Clinton would be even more dangerous because she is an Ideologue with a unrepentant Criminal Mind [positively Stalinist].
The territory La Cosa Clinton controls is the sewer and their desire is to have it overflow and flood The Fruited Plain.
Hillary must be stopped — for good, this time — and this must all end.
My dear brethren, do not ever forget, when you hear the progress of lights praised, that the loveliest trick of the Devil is to persuade you that he does not exist!
