As many age and grow
saddened that the pleasures of this life diminish and are to soon come
to an end, they often cope with this existential crisis by criticizing
the young for behaviors they themselves use to participate in and wish
for future generations lives of struggle and material deprivation.
Normally, such disgruntled reflection provides a kind of psychological
outlet through which to vent pent up frustrations and anxieties,
however, it can be cause for concern when those making these kinds of
complaints implement such ramblings as the foundation of public policy.
According to WorldNetDaily.com,
in a commencement address at Long Island University and in a speech
before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Hillary Clinton declared to the
youth of the nation that “work is not a four letter word” and that the
young have a “sense of entitlement” having grown up in a “culture that
has a premium on instant gratification”.
Isn’t a Clinton the last one that should be lecturing us on the perils
of instant gratification as the old man pretty much wrote the book on
this behavioral pathology throughout the 1990’s? However, it must be
noted that what the wicked witch of the east is talking about is not so
much the wastefulness and licentiousness endemic to the ruling elite
but rather codespeak of revolutionary globalists that the American
people enjoy too high a standard of living and must have Third World
levels of squalor imposed upon them.
For in justifying her comments, the battle ax
continued, “I just want to set the bar high because we are in a
competition for the future.” Yet I wonder how much of her salary and
book proceeds she is willing to forego for the sake of national
productivity.
And it is highly doubtful she is speaking out against welfare
recipients, the backbone of the contemporary Democratic Party. Rush
Limbaugh observes in a quote in the WorldNetDaily account that Senator
Clinton is sponsoring a bill to build 15,000 houses with high speed
Internet for those on low income.
It’s bad enough to build houses for the indolent at government expense,
but how can you justify giving them high speed Internet? I ask the
junior witch from New York who will be getting instant gratification
under such a program without working for it?
As the woman who just a few years ago realized “janitors are people to”
as if this was some kind of breakthrough in the Grand Unified Theory,
Hillary isn’t exactly in touch with those outside the New
York/Washington loony bin. After all, her own spawn pulls down a six
figure salary as a “consultant”, basically a position where she sits
around doing nothing for which her primary qualification is having
sprung from their loins of her progenitors.
Apparently, Hillary fails to realize that as politicians like her
continue to expand education budgets to the point where almost anyone
can acquire one irrespective of whether or not the actually deserve one
in terms of aptitude, the value of an education has been diminished to
such an extent that pursuing a degree provides the recipient with
little economic advantage as college graduates today barely qualify
today for jobs --- if the positions have not already been shipped
overseas --- that used to be filled by high school graduates.
Eventually, Americans will need a PhD in Economics just to say, “Hi,
welcome to Wal-Mart.”
Maybe since Hillary has lived high on the hog for so long, it’s time
she gave back to the community and all that other it takes a village
drivel and herself partake of that low-paid menial labor the rest of us
are suppose to be content with.
It seems she is not the only Clinton having done one thing and imposed
something else on what to them are the lesser classes of the human
race. Apart from his whoring around, one of the things Bill Clinton
was most famous for was his love of nutritionally ambiguous snacks.
However, if this former President no longer in office has his way, he
will hold unprecedented power over what children in public schools will
be allowed to ingest; no doubt making them fit little minions of the
New World Order in that not only will they have lean bodies fit for all
kinds of public project slave labor but also be of diminished critical
capacity unaccustomed to questioning what is demanded of them since
they will have been conditioned that it is their place to pliantly
accept the decisions made for their lives by those claiming to be their
betters.
According to an accord hashed out between the Alliance For A Healthier
Generation (an entente consisting of the William J. Clinton Foundation
and the American Heart Association) and Cadbury Schwepps, Coca-Cola,
PepsiCo, and the American Beverage Association, only low calorie and
nutritious drinks are to be sold in the nation’s public schools. So
while Bill Clinton spent a goodly portion of his Presidency shoving
sweet things into his mouth and into the mouths of others (some while
on their knees under the desk in the Oval Office where Reagan wouldn’t
even remove his suit coat much less unzip his pants), if these captains
of industry and institutional eleemosynary have their way, school
children will be denied the decision regarding what far less offensive
syrupy substances they may take into the human body.
Those hoodwinked by all the hype about an obesity epidemic relieved
that someone has stepped forward to address this alleged crisis have
missed the point. Encase some have forgotten or prefer to live in a
liberal fantasyland, Bill Clinton is not the President anymore.
Shouldn’t he be out building houses for the homeless or something?
Is it just me or is anyone else as disturbed as I am that unelected
personalities not even in the government responsible to no one are able
to exert such control over the lives of average Americans as to what
we’ll be having for lunch? Shouldn’t the free market influenced by the
decisions of individual consumers determine what is on the menu?
Those still not convinced will respond that the concordat only affects
public school cafeterias and vended snacks. Students are perfectly
free to bring their own junk food from home.
Maybe so for now. But once the initial details are worked out, what is
to stop Clinton and his minions from conspiring together and issuing an
edict that henceforward food manufacturers will only produce healthy
foods such as beansprouts and seaweed? Furthermore, few will be left
to resist such a decree as most will have been conditioned since
childhood that theirs is not to reason why but to submit cheerfully to
the plans both mundane and grandiose of the vaunted overlords.
Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. America
has yet to fully recover from it’s last go-a-round with the Clintons.
I doubt the country could take much more with Hillary in the White
House and Bill free to impose his will upon the nation and the world
beyond as either a private sector powerhouse or as even Secretary
General of the United Nations, as some have proposed, and still retain
what little liberty we have remaining.
