Hillary Clinton is Really Attacking HALF of America as “Deplorable Haters” – While Letting Islamic Terrorists Off the Hook



The Democrat candidate for the President of the United States has labeled ½ of America as deplorable haters.  Not just ½ of Trump’s supporters.  When it comes to her opinion of Islamic terrorist that have come to our country to attack and kill Americans, Hillary talks in far more positive terms about them, being careful not to label them “deplorable” and even refusing to use the words “Islamic terrorists” or “radical Muslims”.  That, Hillary, is deplorable.


Speaking at an LBGT fundraiser in New York City on September 9th with liberal icon Barbara Streisand, Hillary Clinton said, “You know to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” she said as the crowd laughed and applauded. “…the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”  She went on to say, “Some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America”.[1] 

In contrast, after the savage Islamic terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey by radical Muslims that injured dozens, she didn’t similarly criticize these attackers as “deplorable” or “haters”, but instead directed her fire and attacks to Donald Trump for calling a “bomb” a “bomb”.  Really, Hillary?

But, Hillary only called 1/2 of Trump’s supporters deplorable haters – is that really ½ of America?  Yes. And I’ll explain why.

Hillary Clinton and other Democrats have spoken out numerous times claiming with authority that only a “tiny percentage” of Muslims worldwide are radical extremists.  Calling them anything more would be unfairly painting all Muslims with a broad brush as radical extremists, according to them.  Can you imagine the backlash if a politician were to claim that or a half, or even a third, of all Muslims in the world were radicals and terrorists?  Certainly, such a broad claim would be considered a bigoted statement and would mean effectively labeling all Muslims as such. 

Put another way, would you walk into an establishment if you were black and had reason to believe that ½ of the patrons were violent KKK members who wanted you dead?  Or, would you enter a bar if you were gay and believed that ½ of the people there were radical Muslims who believe you should be tortured and killed for being gay?  Do you honestly think you could just walk in and mingle with only the half there who you believed would do you no harm?  Of course not.  A rational thinking person would necessarily view the entire group as a danger and avoid the situation altogether. Half is far too high a number.  You would paint the whole group with a broad brush and condemn them altogether.

That is just exactly Hillary Clinton did when she made her extremely offensive statement about her view of Trump supporters.  She clearly cannot separate the ½ that she considers “irredeemable, hateful bigots” from the other half she claims are simply misguided.   Remembering her “extreme right wing conspiracy” charges that she’s made for decades now, Hillary has made other very disparaging remarks about her low opinion of all Republicans, conservatives and 2nd Amendment supporters.  When you add them all up, they are the people reviled by Hillary and the Democrat party and represent at least ½ of America.   Her signal to her supporters and the country:  ½ of America belongs within basket of deplorables…”the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”   

Trump responded, “"For the first time in a long while, her true feelings came out, showing bigotry and hatred for millions of Americans. How can she be president of our country when she has such contempt and disdain for so many great Americans?"[2]

Hillary considers ½ of America NOT AMERICAN.   Her hatred spans over 150 million Americans and if elected, she will tear the country apart.

I consider Hillary UNELECTABLE.  Calling either half of Trump supporters, or half of Americans as I have outlined, "deplorable" is appalling. She should drop out of the presidential race immediately.

Out with the Old, In with the New: The GOP Gets a Bold New Brand Reboot as the “Grand Opportunity Party”

The new GOP is here and with your help, it’s here to stay. The GOP – the “Grand Old Party” - for better or worse, has been typically associated with and older, homogenous generation of conservatives who are out of touch with today’s younger generation and values. This reputation is fueling what’s wrong with today’s Republican Party. I propose a movement to unify the conservative party and bring revolutionary change with a newly rebooted GOP, as the Grand Opportunity PartyTM. I believe this is urgently needed if the GOP is to remain a viable force in American politics, win future elections, and avoid becoming a permanent minority party. I’ve formulated a powerful new strategy for the GOP, with updated messaging, branding, and a party platform built for the 21st Century electorate that Millennials and the other generations can all support.

As a brand marketer, I have often been challenged to produce branding solutions and updates for a given product or company. Any change to a brand requires balancing the heritage of the original brand with the desire to update its image to attract a new generation of customers. In respect to the new rebranding of the GOP as the Grand Opportunity Party, the challenge is similar. While no one wants to try to produce a New Coke® (a rebranding effort that failed terribly), there have been many other examples of successful re-branding that have worked spectacularly. Old Spice® has done an excellent job of re-branding in recent years. Their image is very different than the original brand positioning from years ago, and it is very successful. The long-term survival of many organizations is dependent on their ability to update their products, messaging, and branding to make themselves relevant to new and evolving audiences – or, in this case, new portions of the electorate.




How does this relate to the GOP brand reboot? Some in the industry have called the 2010 Old Spice brand reboot “the perfect branding campaign”. It took an old brand dating back to 1937, featuring an outdated whistling sailor, and turned the brand’s longevity into strength to attract younger customers by combining its experience and masculinity in an assertive, straightforward and edgy way with a young, confident actor.  It went from “your grandfather’s cologne” to the leading deodorant for men, having successfully built new market shares with a younger audience. The new Star Trek® movie series reboot from director JJ Abrams also took on the challenge of updating the 50-year-old TV series and movie franchise very successfully, keeping the roots and philosophy of the original while refreshing Star Trek for a younger, tech-savvy audience.

If we can give the Grand Old Party (GOP) a similar new brand and messaging update, perhaps a Grand Opportunity Party can be the revolutionary vehicle for conservatives to usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity that will attract younger generations for decades to come. As a marketer, the word “old” in the GOP brand name is highly problematic from the start, with our absolute need to attract Millennials and future generations of young voters[1]. While the word “grand” also feels a bit outdated, removing and replacing the word “grand” would be reaching outside the “zone of credibility” with the Republican base, in my estimation, as would changing the acronym of the GOP itself to something entirely different.

Like Old Spice and Star Trek, the GOP is faced with the challenge of shifting and crafting its brand and message to attract a changing electorate, while maintaining the rich history, values and roots dating back to 1856. We need to strike a balance of outreach to an evolving audience, while retaining the core values of the party. Conservatives are similarly challenged with being considered our “grandfather’s party” by many, and especially by Millennials - and progressives who currently dominate the news media and the culture. Liberal commentators go so far as to call the GOP the party of “angry old white men”.

I firmly believe we desperately need to shift course and adopt a bold new brand reboot now, and I believe that we ARE the Party of Opportunity (whereas, the Democrat Party can be more accurately labeled the “Party of Government Dependency” or the “Party of Authoritarian Government Power”). As stated in the preamble of the 2012 GOP platform:

“The pursuit of opportunity has defined America from our very beginning. This is a land of opportunity. The American Dream is a dream of equal opportunity for all. And the Republican Party is the party of opportunity.”[2]

The Grand Opportunity Party -The revolutionary new face of the GOP - and the
 American Conservative movement.

The logo brand for the Grand Opportunity Party that I created is shown below. The font style is dynamic, bold and current, reflecting our new refreshed style. While the Republican elephant logo may be red, white and blue (as is the Democrat donkey), the primary identifying GOP party color is changed from all red to a red, white and blue colored theme. The prominent and larger blue “O” communicates the primacy of “Opportunity” for all, while the star reflects a symbol of American heritage and strength, reminiscent of the old style US Air Force logo (called the Roundel and also referred to as the National). The font style of the letters closely resembles the font used by the GOP as shown on the GOP.com website (www.gop.com), maintaining a clear familiarity and brand consistency for the Republican Party.










This brand and message reboot,= represents all demographics and generations, and the new GOP logo and name change reflects this ideal.

With my strong passion for the conservative party, I am promoting my marketing strategy through my book and new media project, Cues for Conservatives. This book reflects my ideas and thoughts on how to market the young generation to get them on board with the Republican Party. It is a party that has great economic values that is healthy for the country and one that many can agree with. If it is done correctly, this approach can help inform Millennials the benefits of today’s new conservative party. They are the future and it is important for them to be informed on the conservative values.

If you are passionate about the American people and want the best party to be rebranded so it may connect with more people of all backgrounds, please consider supporting my efforts through my Indiegogo.com crowdfunding page. Together we can start a new conservative movement.

Official Press Release: Crowdfunding Campaign for Cues for Conservatives


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                                           Contact: John Paul
Office TEL:  805-450-7087

Liberty Hill Publishing Presents A Bold New Book And Multimedia Project Aimed At Engaging Millennials And Uniting The Conservative Movement – Launches Crowdfunding Campaign At Indiegogo.com

Boston, MA — Conservative activist, writer and marketing executive, John Paul, has completed his bold new book America, Cues for Conservatives – How to Engage the Millennial Generation and Unite the Conservative Movement in support of a new brand of political conservatism. As part of this monumental multimedia project, the national crowdfunding campaign, found at Indiegogo.com, has launched on April 13. Visit the following campaign page to learn more: https://igg.me/at/CUES/x/13389060

John Paul channels his extensive knowledge of American politics, Millennials and his 20+ years experience as a professional corporate marketer to guide a new generation of conservatives to effectively defend and promote conservatism – and fight back against the radical progressive agenda.  The timing couldn't be more urgent with the upcoming 2016 presidential election and the mounting divisions within the Republican Party.  

The crowdfunding campaign for Cues will be used to fund the publication of the book, create a series of engaging animated videos, produce a multimedia campaign to reach Millennials and other Americans. As part of this endeavor, copies of Cues for Conservatives will be sent to every conservative and independent member of Congress. Contributors will have the opportunity to order advance copies of the book – in both digital and print – and support the cause to Bring America Forward.

The Cues for Conservatives campaign videos – including an animated overview highlighting a key chapter of the book – can be found at the Indiegogo.com campaign page referenced above.

The author stresses the importance of this effort. In brief, America's political future will very soon lie largely in the hands of the Millennial Generation, people born between 1981 and 1999. Millennials are now coming of age and beginning to take over the workforce. Soon they will control American politics, too – leaning heavily toward liberal, socialist and Democrat parties. What will this mean for the future of our country? How can conservatives respond to this alarming trend?

How can we better reach, inspire and engage this younger generation to save our country from the failed and destructive liberal agenda? The political Left, leaning ever more radically progressive, has succeeded in persuading Millennials and other key demographics, significantly out-messaging conservatives with their mastery of political marketing and domination of the media, entertainment and education. If Republicans do not build a unified front and have a clear strategy to win the support of younger voters, we will quickly become a permanent minority party. 

Cues for Conservatives is a book that focuses on how the Left has managed to win Millennial voters and other key demographics, and how conservatives can use some of these same methods, in addition to some bold new tactics of our own, to win them back. It is the how-to handbook and multimedia blueprint for proactively defending and promoting conservatism with our changing electorate.


Liberty Hill Publishing, a division of Salem Media Group, is a self-publisher dedicated solely to protecting and sharing the conservative message. Retailers may order Cues for Conservatives – How to Engage the Millennial Generation and Unite the Conservative Movement through Ingram Book Company. The book will be available online through libertyhillpublishing.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
