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.

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.

Bernie Sander’s Dangerous Socialist Agenda – and His Misleading “Democratic Socialist” Ploy

While millions of Americans, especially, Millennials and Democrats, are captivated by 2016 presidential candidate and self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders and his message, it is apparent that they don’t bother to remember the Cold War and what we were fighting against– socialism – in order to preserve Western civilization, our freedoms and our way of life.  Nor do they seem to understand that socialism always fails once it takes hold, and that it is just a steppingstone on the path from capitalism to communism.  In its appetite for ever-increasing government power, the peoples’ money and property, and extensive social control of the society, it inevitably leads to complete control of the society. In this scenario, played out countless times in the 20th century to the tune of 94 million killed by socialism/communism from 1900-2000[1], it only leads to the death of freedoms, liberties and ultimately millions of people.

The Merriam-Webster definition of socialism is: a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies.  The full definition[2]:

1:  any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 (a):  a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
(b):  a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3:  a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

As detailed above by Merriam-Webster, socialism, as it has been defined - and as it has been practiced by countless socialist regimes from the past to the present day - directly violates our constitutional rights and civil liberties, and such a political ideology should have no place whatsoever within our American political discourse.  A society in which private property is not guaranteed to its citizens, or in which the government owns the means of production and distribution of goods, is 100% antithetical to American laws, values and culture.

Socialism, in essence, means the eventual elimination of our private property rights, leading to the confiscation of the rightful property of one individual and transferring it to another of whom it doesn’t belong.  In plain language, it would otherwise be called theft, but PC-friendly terminology from progressives today has softened it to the more palatable – and deceptive - “income redistribution” and “paying your fair share”. 



To get Millennials and other constituencies on board with socialism, Bernie Sanders has been promoting his cuddly, watered-down version of this destructive ideology by now labeling himself a “Democratic Socialist”.  But, is this markedly different from historic Marx’s socialism?  He claims that he’s doesn’t mean that the state should own and control the means of production, as a “true” socialist would, nor does he say that he wants eliminate private property – but he sure wants to eliminate a big chunk of your property to redistribute it to others who haven’t earned it.  Sanders wants to attack and eliminate whatever economic freedom and opportunity we may have left and dramatically raise taxes - especially on businesses and the most productive of society. His plans include a multi-trillion dollar spending spree funding massive new social programs, more government regulation and “free stuff” that our country simply cannot afford – and that Millennials will be burdened to pay back in the future. He is confident that our capitalist system is the root of income inequality and poverty, when in actuality it’s the interference of the government and corrupt politicians who are bought and paid for by a myriad of special interests who are crux of the problem.  

Calling himself a “Democratic Socialist” is a ruse intended to deceive Millennials and other Americans into believing that this ideology represents something other than true socialism. “Democratic Socialism” is still socialism, and the two words should never be paired together as such in the first place. Famed French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, “Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. Notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude”.[3] 

On the issues of both Sanders’ competency – or, lack thereof - he has emphatically glorified Scandinavia’s massive welfare states, including Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Sanders and his throngs of “Feel the Bern” fans point to the alleged “success” of these countries as validation of their drive to bring the same to America.  His Left-wing supporters advocate replacing our capitalist – and, constitutional – system of government with their version of a “Democratic Socialist” utopian paradise of free education, free healthcare, almost free-everything, by implementing massive tax hikes while attacking conservatism and capitalism as the root of society’s ills. What these progressives fail to understand is that the things they want to emulate in the Nordic countries - relative prosperity, income equality, longer lifespans, health, lower levels of poverty, etc. - all predate the welfare state they want to copy; for example, most of the shift toward higher income and income equality happened between 1870 and 1950 — long before the welfare state took over.[4]  In an article by Alex Newman about a comprehensive new book written by academic Nima Sanandaji, Ph.D., Scandinavian Unexceptionalism: Culture, Markets and the Failure of Third-Way Socialism, she makes an iron-clad case that these Scandinavian nations' success predates the welfare state, or their “third way era”.[5]  These countries enjoyed rapid economic growth, innovation and entrepreneurship while they thrived under free-market capitalist systems, prior to the imposition of expansive government, social programs and wealth redistribution policies, and have been gradually sliding downhill since. 

She writes, “the rate of business formation during the ‘third-way era’ was ‘dreadful.’ In 2004, none of the 100 largest firms ranked by employment were founded within Sweden after 1970….despite Sanders' recent pronouncements on ABC News about Scandinavia having “more income and wealth equality,” Sweden still has a great deal more “wealth inequality” today than the United States, according to a study cited in the monograph”.[6]   Further, their wealth redistribution policies and excessive regulation on business has removed the incentive for entrepreneurs to take the personal risk and work hard to succeed – how many innovations and new technologies have come from this part of the world in the recent decades compared to America?  I can’t think of any, either. The Scandinavian welfare states severely hindered prosperity, economic growth and their civic cultures, and under the impossible weight and costs of their massive social entitlement spending, the Nordic governments have recently started to learn from their mistakes and have reversed course, expanding economic freedom across the board.  Denmark, for one, is struggling to support its native population with the weight up supporting its massive influx of Muslim immigrants.[7]  Not to mention the fact that their citizens pay most of their income in taxes - 58% - 72% in Denmark, and they have some of the highest rates of depression, suicide, and alcoholism in the world. Productivity is in decline, with Danes working a scant 28 hours a week.[8] Some paradise.

About Sanders’ policies that he wants to bring to America, they include: taxing the most successful entrepreneurs and managers at a  90% marginal tax rate and allowing investors to keep only 10% of the earnings on their investments, with state taxes that could add up to 100% of marginal earnings[9]. He has made bizarre statements, such as his implication that too many deodorant choices and too many brands of sneakers cause child hunger[10], and that “It makes no sense that students and their parents pay higher interest rates for college than they pay for car loans or housing mortgages”[11], apparently Bernie has never taken economics 101 to learn about the value of securing loans with assets – a bank can repossess your car or house if you fail to pay, but not your degree. His touted tax plan, as high as it is, can’t pay for his big government “Democratic Socialist” agenda of free college tuition, free Medicare to all, universal childcare, and rebuilding the entire US infrastructure.  Sanders’ proposals may sound wonderful, but they would require and endless amount of tax dollars to fund, tax dollars which will surely dry up as he attacks and penalizes the very system – free market capitalism – that supplies those dollars.  With his planned expenditures outpacing the revenues coming in needed to pay for them, Sanders’ programs will operate on a deficit and require future generations to pay back (with interest, of course); there is no free lunch.



Reuter’s columnist Daniel Indiviglio added it up and in $12 Trillion cost to pay for Sanders’ massive socialist programs over a ten year period, his sky-high taxes fall a gaping $8 Trillion short.[12]  Perhaps someone needs to introduce Mr. Sanders to a basic calculator, for starters?  Not to mention the number of companies and entrepreneurs who will simply leave the country for more favorable business environments in order to avoid his record high taxes, as they have left Vermont – where Sanders has held political power for decades.  Young people – and many companies – have left the state because of the high taxes and lack of opportunity. The state’s costly regulatory climate and high taxes have landed it in 49th or 50th place since 2008 in the American Legislative Exchange Council’s annual state economic outlook rankings.[13]

Millennials, while they might be enticed to support Sanders with all of his vote-buying rhetoric about free college tuition and free health care, and his attacking of the “top 1%” of earners (who, by the way, pay more in taxes to support all of our big government programs than the bottom 90% combined), will be paying the biggest price for such misguided support in the future when they foot the bill for his out of control spending and socialist policies.

It’s time for Millennials and Democrats to wake up to the impending disaster that would follow if Sanders – or another socialist like him – were ever to be elected president of the United States, where we would all surely “Feel the Bern” – and, the Burn.
