Email Mysteries –
Hoax? Well it is a puzzle that the republican party insists on making a
huge deal out of emails made and received by Hillary Clinton while she served
as Secretary of State. They focus not one second on any email histories
attending to republican public servants, but such exist. The technology of
electronic communications has been rapidly changing for years and a marvel of
productivity on many levels. Security concerns are always running behind and
attempting to catch up with usage.
Was America
at risk under such circumstances? Yes, most probably. Was it intended? No. Was
it criminal? No. Were safeguards developed and installed over time? Yes. What
about specific threats unveiled? None. So why all the buzz? Because it is an
election year and the republicans insist on defeating Hillary Clinton for
whatever reason. It is their ‘thing’.
And Hillary is only a target for two reasons: she is a woman
and everyone in the conservative camp feels the presidency is out of bounds for
a woman; evidently they believe this. The other reason is she is married to
Bill Clinton. And conservatives have always fancied to bring Bill down by
whatever means. They nearly did, too, but law and order defeated those fancies.
Of course the legal maneuvers cost the Clintons
a combined $16 million in legal expense, but what the hell; the political foes
were only protecting the nation, right?
Wrong. They were up to no good and never have has history
corrected the score in their favor after all of these years. Bill is OK. He has a
penis and used it; so does half the population. And presidents have used their
sexuality in the past many times. It is part of our history but in the old days
privacy matters preserved family life in the White House. Today there is no
such thing as privacy or civility. All things are open to debate and
distortion. And so they are distorted. No facts. No reality. Just innuendo and
gossip with a snicker.
Hillary survived those years and went on to a very
productive life of service to our nation, and to the arts, culture, medical
health issues, ecology issues, civil rights, governance, voter rights, and the
whole gamut. She is a woman of all seasons and ages. And she has earned the
right to lead this country. If there were ever a person groomed and prepared
for the Presidency it is Hillary Clinton. She is not your mother. She is not
your spouse. She is a statesman and a leader. Now get over it and drop the damn
email inquisition. Your ignorance is showing on this issue almost as much as
your insistence that Benghazi
was some kind of intended happening. It wasn’t and you haven’t proved that yet,
either. And you won’t.
Get over it.
Making Peace with
Muslims: Not all Christians are nice people. They say they are but their
actions speak louder than their words. They are judgmental people who excoriate
others for their views on abortion, gay rights, civil rights, states rights,
conservative versus liberal values, and a host of other issues. As Christians
they apparently feel it is their right per the US Constitution to do and say
anything they wish as long as it is a following of their religious beliefs. So
hands off!
Not so fast, buddy.
Christians, especially those in America , do not have it right in
the main. They are wrong. They have trouble with Jews and with Muslims, and
with atheists, and non-church goers, Hindus, Buddhists, and any other belief
system they don’t ascribe to, don’t know about, or simply don’t understand.
That’s their religious freedom: to be ignorant as hell about everyone else!
Well, that’s not true. Ignorance is not a religion hard as
they might try to make it so. No, they do damage to themselves and their
beliefs through their ignorance and bigotry.
And so it goes. Is it no wonder that Muslims have a hard
time in the US
because of this kind of thinking? I’ve
said in my blog before, the three main religious credos are related and share
many core beliefs. They are not disrespectful of each other, either. The people
might be disrespectful out of ignorance, but their religions are not
disrespectful. Just the opposite.
With this truth there is no reason whatever to distrust or
isolate our Muslim brethren. Period. So hug a Muslim, smile, and do
something nice for them. They’ve suffered enough due to American frailty. You
might be amazed at their reaction. Is there a mosque near you can visit? Make a
date for that visit today. And enjoy!
