Hillary Clinton.... not a role model - Rotobeast - 08-01-2016 I'm just posting this for discussion. It's a little heavy...lol https://transformativespaces.org/2016/07/29/for-little-girls-inspired-by-hillary-clinton/ Quote:For Little Girls Inspired By Hillary Clinton Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk RE: Hillary Clinton.... not a role model - GMDino - 08-01-2016 (08-01-2016, 02:06 PM)Rotobeast Wrote: I'm just posting this for discussion. Seem fair to look at Clinton's place in history through the eyes of others who suffered a different fate due not to their gender but to the race. RE: Hillary Clinton.... not a role model - fredtoast - 08-01-2016 Another person calling Hillary the devil without being able to give a specific example of what she has done that is so bad. If her "crimes" are countless why not give an example? And what gains by white women have come at the expense of black and brown people. Empty rhetoric like this is a total waste of time. RE: Hillary Clinton.... not a role model - BengalHawk62 - 08-01-2016 I was at a parade this weekend where one of the floats was a "Bomb Hilary. Hilary for prison. '16" They had a guy in a Hilary mask inside a "prison" and were handing out water balloons asking you to "bomb" Hilary in prison. And people were going NUTS for this float. Lining up and hurling these water balloons towards 'her'. It was at this moment that I became nervous for our future. How are these nutjobs going to react if/when Hilary does get elected? ![]() RE: Hillary Clinton.... not a role model - Belsnickel - 08-01-2016 I always have disliked the idea of role models. I've never had one because I'm cynical. Everyone has faults. It's like when people get pissed about a professional athlete showing themselves to be morally bankrupt. They are a human being and human beings are flawed. Don't put people on a pedestal. Are their traits I like about certain people? Absolutely. Can I agree or disagree with someone on politics and still find things I like and dislike about them? Yep. Am I going to put any of these people up on a pedestal? Hell no. I should take a moment to say, however, that I do expect people in the public light to act respectable. But I honestly expect it of everyone. I hold everyone to the same standards, including myself. Everyone falls short, though. That's life.

How are these nutjobs going to react if/when Hilary does get elected?The same way they did with Obama. Call it a failed presidency from the day she is sworn in. And the obstructionist republicans will continue to contribute almost nothing but headaches for people trying to solve problems. Fear of the black man president spawned the Tea Party. I wonder what they will create to battle the white woman.

OMG!!! The Clinton's run a charitable organization that spends billions of dollars to help the poor and needy? What could be worse than that?

Sure water ballons and floats are scary, but the only cases of actual violence I have read about are those protesting Trump. How are these nutjobs going to react if/when Trump does get elected?

What parade was it? I imagine the nut jobs will act exactly the same as the ones you guys worried about 8 years ago.

Nobody said role models are faultless or have to be on a pedestal, but if you admire someone and what they have achieved or how they have lived their life, there is nothing wrong with trying to do things as they did.

I agree, I don't have a public role model either. However, I do have a role model. A man that I idolized as a child, rebelled against as a youth, and have grown to become best friends with as an adult. That man, my Father. I realize that sounds a bit sappy, particularly in a P&R thread, but it's the truth. If more American men were actual fathers to their children, I could easily see half of the US perceived problems disappear.

I believe I read that is also paying for her campaign, since there is a limit on foreign campaign donations and this is the way they got around that law. |
