Of course not! It's none of my business. What is my business as a citizen is to evaluate whether the candidate has the dignity the office deserves and can maintain fidelity to the role they declared they were running for, with all its attendant privileges and responsibilities. <br /><br />Political office is a public trust, not a right. This idea that this is Hillary's "turn," or other such nonsense like "It's time we had a woman president" are silly chants that diminish the dignity of the office. Add the usual Clintonian behavior and we turn the idea of "public service" on its head. <br /><br />I have high standards few can meet, but I consider the importance of the roles. To that end, I firmly believe that clarity and prudence in sexual matters are important for a politician, and a condition of the office, more so as one rises to higher positions of power. <br /><br />Why? Because human beings still have sex in private because it is intimate, and there are all kinds of things we don't want people to know about our bodies, our tastes, etc. Sexual dignity hinges on discretion. This is a human universal. <br /><br />The truest thing that ever came out of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal was "Everyone lies about sex." Yes, and lies compromise character and leave the liar open to blackmail. We all have skeletons in our closet, we are all sinners. That's not the point. The point is: what end will a candidate or politician go to in order to protect their secret? Bill Clinton boldly lied to the American people on camera, wagging his finger and talking about "that woman." Hillary's email rationalizations are disturbin, and if they are tied to covering up correspondence with lovers, this emphasizes my point. <br /><br />If Hillary is a lesbian, she's a lesbian. It's her choice. Whatever. But if she cannot be honest about it, she is a security risk. That's a huge problem for someone who is the President of the United States. <br /><br />Kennedy may have slept with an East German spy. Was that just a personal choice? JFK burning off some steam? Was it just between him and Jackie? I don't think so. You want the job, you deal with what comes with it. Otherwise, you're not worthy. And that's what campaigning and elections are all about: evaluating the candidate. Hillary is a FAIL in the integrity part, which is the most important to me. I don't care whether she's a lesbian... given her history with Bill, it makes sense. But if she's covering something up, the coverup owns her and there are tremendous consequences.Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-40320963643690304612015-04-17T04:34:48.357-07:002015-04-17T04:34:48.357-07:00Enquiring minds want to know!Enquiring minds want to know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-12179957985261303222015-04-16T13:56:43.499-07:002015-04-16T13:56:43.499-07:00Stuart, please don't use the word "homoph...Stuart, please don't use the word "homophobia." It is a silly, made-up word by a bunch of activist morons. It's beneath you. Saying "people who are scared of homosexuality" is accurate, clean and within the bounds of the English language.<br /><br />Similarly, I would also like it if people stopped using this euphemism called the "N-word," as it is similarly juvenile and moronic. Either say the word or say "racial slur." That's what it is. If it's good enough for Huckleberry Finn, I don't know why newscasters need to patronize us by being prudish about the reality of it.Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-17605127745487966542015-04-16T12:16:18.292-07:002015-04-16T12:16:18.292-07:00Don't make no nevermind, Ares; you'll be g...Don't make no nevermind, Ares; you'll be grumpy, come rain or come shine.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-22277884254772637502015-04-16T11:19:23.380-07:002015-04-16T11:19:23.380-07:00maybe folks would care that she was cheating on he...maybe folks would care that she was cheating on her cheating husband ... it could be a double negative that works in her favor ...Kaiser Derden (aka TDL)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17707948032455985591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-29156241191321304332015-04-16T08:38:23.937-07:002015-04-16T08:38:23.937-07:00Zzzzzzzzzzz... what was that?!
Okay, as the X-fi...Zzzzzzzzzzz... what was that?! <br /><br />Okay, as the X-files says "The truth is out there."<br /><br />So Bill was the first Black president and Barack is the first Woman president. What's left for Hillary?<br />http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/04/03/bill_clinton_i_loved_being_called_the_first_black_president.html<br />http://www.nationalreview.com/article/372898/barack-obama-first-woman-president-matthew-continetti<br /><br />So Hillary can be the first bisexual president! That's the ticket!<br /><br />Ambiguity is a key character trait for politicians.<br /><br />I imagine a fun thing about blogging is you have dated proof when the truth comes out, and you can say "I told you so!"<br /><br />Meanwhile I'm still waiting to find out what alien race left those flashlights on Ceres! Do you think NASA is going to cover them up? But why didn't they cover them up initially? Why pique our interest, and then blame it on some stupid ice volcano? <br /><br />I'm going to be really grumpy if we don't discover those Lizard people on Ceres. That would explain so much.<br /><br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
