| Description | Dean, it should be remembered, demonstrated the extent of his "faith" during last year’s presidential race. Unwilling to become bogged down by such nuanced trivialities as the mass slaughter of the unborn or the time-honored characterization of marriage, he was courageously immovable when facing that morally defining issue of bicycle paths, and the heresy of his church’s opposition to them.
Dean also voiced his "respect" for Jesus Christ, when attempting to court the votes of southern Christians. But this ploy met with no more success than his phony embrace of the Confederate flag. Perhaps his next foray into the South should include the circular outline of a can of chewing tobacco, prominently "faded" into the back pocket of his blue jeans.
Likewise Hillary’s recent embrace of pro-family and pro-life thinking constitutes a fundamental change from those anti-Christian causes that she passionately advocated throughout her tenure as First Lady. And despite her apparent prophetic insight when playing the cattle futures, anyone who believes this to be evidence of true spirituality will no doubt also believe she really is a Jewish Yankees fan.
Seizing major policy-making roles during her husband’s presidency, Hillary will now, in all likelihood, take partial credit for such traditionally conservative milestones as balancing of the federal budget during the '90s, along with the landmark implementation of welfare reform.
Yet in both cases, the reality is that the Clinton Administration was dragged, kicking and screaming, into compliance with an agenda set forth by the Republican Congress. Bill Clinton vetoed welfare reform twice, only grudgingly signing it as the '96 presidential campaign season heated up.
Ditto for the budget, which was briefly reigned in only as a result of Congressional spending restraints, coupled with an enormously expanding economy. |
