It looks like Hillary Clinton is deeply involved with the authoritarian theocratic Christian institution, "The Fellowship". Barbara Ehrenreich is fairly sound, and not usually an alarmist.
There's simply no excuse for a Democratic politician to have any more to do with these guys than with the KKK or Fred Phelps.
I wouldn't vote for McCain under any circumstances, but if this is true, I don't think I could vote in good conscience for Clinton even if she won the nomination.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

Dear Larry,
ReplyDeletePlease, for the love of no god, don't use your conscience when evaluating potential presidential candidates. That realm is nothing but Dracula vs. Frankenstein, with the honest observer always having to choose who is actually worse. McCain has all but promised to attack Iran and Syria if he is elected. In my view, that is bad enough to accept disgusting compromises to prevent his becoming the head of the executive branch.
If what Ehrenreich has written about Clinton is true, and it probably is, then a Clinton presidency would be secretly influenced by a corrupt and autocratic religion. That would be bad. However, if McCain gets into the White House, his presidency would be openly influenced by a cabal of corrupt and autocratic madmen. And our pathetic excuse for a media would toady up to them like the disgusting lackeys that they are.

ReplyDeleteOh yeah. That makes all the difference.
Maybe we should just drag the evil right out in the open where we can deal with it.
Larry,
ReplyDeleteI meant that it would be better to force corrupt influences to act secretly than to allow them to act openly. It seemed to me that forcing them into secrecy would constrict their actions.
But I see your point too. It may be better to have corruption visible than to have it hidden. Hopefully Obama will win the nomination, and allow me to escape this particular dilemma.
