Giving Catholics the Holy Spirit, without giving them the Word of God also, just isn't going to work. Just one of the thoughts on my mind today.

"So this. I am so sick of listening to misogynist fuckwits (even on the left) trot out versions of the 'corrupt Killary' mantra. Like Michael Moore, I found actually researching her life (rather than sucking up & passing on innuendo) reveals a really admirable human being. In office, she'd have pushed the arc in a hopeful direction. But America is still too soaked in machismo to handle female authority, so any woman running for presidency will have some variety of 'bitch'\'witch' characterisation. Meanwhile, Americans just chose to erase the Obama years, and shift the arc back to the 1950s, when white men were properly in charge. Fuck them."
About the innuendo: I read Hitch-22, Christopher Hitchens biography a couple of years ago. He criticized a number of celebrities, like Mother Teresa and Princess Diana (lots of men too), and I am pretty sure I agree with his criticisms, especially Mother Teresa, who was always campaigning for Roman Catholic sainthood, even if she didn't say it in so many words. She accepted a lot of money from her friends who were dictators, like The Marcos family and Papa Doc Duvalier of Haiti. (she did not have to do this, God provides clean money to some people, for a reason, to do charity work).
At any rate, Hitches says Clinton is a lesbian, she and her friend/roommate used to hold mixed-sex parties at her college dorm. Her whole purpose was to meet women, specifically other lesbians.
NOBODY is saying that. Surely other people read this book, but news shows are not saying this (maybe reporters are not well read or it just escaped them. What people are saying is witch, nasty woman, etc. MACHINE is what columnist Charles Krauthammer called her, heartless machine. She and husband Bill take all kinds of money from rich people in exchange for political favors or promises of political favors. Or it is just understood that that is how this game is played.
But nobody is addressing the issue directly. No one is bringing it up. She just stayed with her husband and did not go through with the process of being with a woman in public (assuming she's not a sex addict who has to cheat on her partner) was not going to happen, she doesn't have the courage to either get Jesus and repent--and probably talk about her past, or come out and be brave as a Lesbian and fight that particular fight. She's just making a name for herself like Mother Teresa.
As far as researching her life, I haven't done a huge amount, but she is not an outstanding character, other than being middle or upper middle class, polite, and committed to herself and liberal politics. The flaw of liberals is to give away a ton of money, so that we don't have enough for the countries other interests, just keeping people alive and giving them a place to live, free birth control and abortions. But not providing enough for police, fire, military and money for rebuilding bridges, roads, etc. And tax, tax, tax, or make health care tremendously expensive for people who are not so poor that they have to rely on government for food and housing.
I am wondering what
dorispossum thinks is so remarkable about Hillary, other than her being the first woman to run for US president and get within such a close range of winning (others have run, just not with this much progress).
I bring up Hitchens because he seems to have been a good journalist, had a great memory and doesn't pull punches when it comes to women. He doesn't rely much on innuendo or name calling. He did call Henry Kissinger a murderer, but only after doing his best to say why. I don't agree at all with HItchens in his atheist and antitheist stance, I think there are a number of questions I'd like to ask him. Such as why if he liked his life as much as he said he did, why he did not make a greater attempt to live. I know he had a very nasty cancer, but even sometimes what sounds like crazy cures work in medecine. Also, as for the Chistians he was on speaking terms with, why did he believe the ones who said to him, "there are no miracles"? Surely there were some miracles he believed happened, whether or not he attributed them to a divine cause? Sometimes there are things that can be explained no other way, than to say there is more than we know that explains it, it seems to me. He didn't even get to that step, much less try real religion, which is staying free of false religion and sin, together with helping those who cannot help themselves.
