Why are the Clintons so disliked by Republicans?What’s not to like? Well, let me think; could it possibly be a good ole ’ fashion (GOP – Grand Ole Party) J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y? They can charm the pants off almost anyone! Or used to – now, the idea just creeps most people out! They have the gift of gab; they can concisely and succinctly put their thoughts into understandable ideas? They can be very persuasive? They are born in the United States of America? They both are very intelligent? They have (he) achieved the ultimate goal of being President of the most powerful nation in the entire world? They have been able to dodge many, many bullets? Everything they try to pin on them doesn’t stick. (Ever hear of Benghazi? The WhiteWater Controversy? Travelgate? Filegate? Cattle Futuresgate?)Could it be that Bill Clinton is a Baptist? He and Hillary attended Yale and are both Lawyers? Bill served as Arkansas’ Attorney General and their Governor for two terms whereby Hillary automatically became Arkansas’ Governor’s First Lady for 12 years? Or is it because Bill beat George W.H. Bush in 1992 serving two terms- paving the way for the Democrats to take over congressional seats and Hillary became the First Lady of the United States for 8 years (1993-2001)? Or because Bill re reformed Welfare and enacted the State Children’s Health Insurance? Or that he left office after two terms with the highest approval rating since WWII And a Budget Surplus? Maybe, just maybe it could be this one!Let me think; is it because a woman can be really smart? Because after Hillary graduated from Yale, she was Legal Counsel in Congress. When she moved to Arkansas and married Bill she co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. She became the first female to Chair the Legal Services Corp. and soon after she became the First Female Parnter at the Rose Law Firm. During her time as First Lady of Arkansas, 1979-1981 & 1983-1992, she was on the task force to reform the public schools. She served on several corporations’ boards, including Wal-Mart. Yes, a woman’s place should be in the home trying to make her husband look-good, right? She is too independent! That’s it! (Oh! The shame!)As First Lady of The United States of America she advocated for children’s health insurance, adoption and foster care. In China in a speech she made before the Fourth World Conference on Women she stated that it’s no longer acceptable to discuss women’s rights as separate from human rights – that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights. These key-words and messaging were the kick-start for the empowerment of women all over the world way back in the 1990’s. She spoke-out about the Taliban and their treatment of women. She participated in creating Vital Voices which helped women become more active in the political life of their given country, directly affecting the women in speaking up about their needs in the Peace Process in Northern Ireland. Yes, it’s because she is one of those women-libers – I’m sure that’s it!During her time as First Lady, she became deeply involved in a comprehensive health care plan that would require employers to provide health coverage for their employees and manage the costs through HMO’s (healthcare maintenance organizations). Even though congress was heavily Democrat, she was unable to convince enough to vote for her plan. The congressmen were angry because they wanted their cake with the icing – and she was making them choose. (They were being paid by the lobbyists/insurance companies/medical companies to NOT control their profit/loss sheets.) That is what really started their hatred for Hillary because she was so freaking smart that she figured out how you ‘make it’ in Washington, D.C.! Yep, that’s it! Seriously! It has to be - she wants to control how they make their money and get a piece of the action, too! Damn! She's too smart for us.After the Presidency gig Hillary became the first - First Lady to have sought elective office and won a seat as the junior senator from New York in 2000. (Oh my! How did she do that without our approval and funding?) She approved and voted for the War in Afghanistan after the 911 attacks. (Unlike Bernie) Gee, they can’t attack her on not supporting Bush’s invasion? In 2005 she stated that, while the immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake, Bush’s pledge to stay “until the job is done” is misguided and gives the Iraqis “an open-ended invitation not to take care of themselves.” (Gee, she predickted the future!?) In 2004, when Harry Reid became the Dem. Senate leader, she convinced him to create a Sentate “War Room” to handle the daily messaging to the public. (Yes, that could be it – controlling the message to the public, right? Hmmm. I'm thinking that could be more of a reason, right?)In 2005 she asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate video games (Grand Theft Auto) which had hidden sex scenes which introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act she and Senators Evan Bayh and Joe Liberban co-sponsored. (Oh? She helped the Democrats in that they actually care about family and children? No!? Uh, yep: She was re-elected to the senate in 2006.)Her ability to have insight and forethought led her to establishing the grass-roots movement of the progressive infrastructure rivaling the ‘American Conservatism” movement. The former Clinton Adm. Chief of Staff, John Podesta ended-up following her lead and founded the Center for American Progress. (Podesta was the chairman of the board until he joined the White House Staff for Pres. Obama in 2013.) She also offered some of her aides to other groups such as the Ethics in Washington and Citizens of Responsibility. (Oh, man. She’s on to us!)As a 2008 Presidential candidate she won the most delegates any previous female candidate had won. (How dare she!) She served as US Secretary of State from 2009-2013. After the Arab Spring uprising in Egypt she advocated the U.S. military intervene in Libya during the Gadafi days. The CIA supplied and trained the militants to over-throw Gadafi, but it backfired; creating a domino-effect with the trained militants turning on the U.S. and killing the U.S. Embassador and the U.S. Foreign Service Info. Mngmnt Officer at the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. These militants moved on to a different compound and killed 2 CIA contractors. The GOP spent millions of tax paper dollars and endless hours trying to make this Egyptian uprising all of Secretary Clinton’s fault, but they only succeeded in admitting they were on a partisan witch hunt. (Damn!)-------------------------------------Is it because they are Democrat?Well, this seems obvious; If you aren’t with me, you’re against me, right? To be part of the Democratic Party, essentially the oldest party of American politics you would have the mind to be considerate of “social justice”. According to the “Congressional Progressive Caucus” they are:“ . . . committed to government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Their policy agenda is rooted in four core principles: (1) fighting for economic justice and security in the U.S. and global economies; (2) protecting and preserving civil rights and civil liberties; (3) promoting global peace and security; and (4) strengthening environmental protection and energy independence. Their fundamental fairness plan reflects national priorities that are consistent with the values, needs, and hopes of all Americans, not just the powerful and the privileged. Accordingly, the CPC also advocates "universal access to affordable, high quality healthcare", fair trade agreements, living wage laws, the right of all workers to organize into labor unions and engage in collective bargaining, the abolition of the USA PATRIOT Act, the legalization of same-sex marriage, US participation in international treaties such as the climate change related Kyoto Accords, strict campaign finance reform laws, a crackdown on corporate welfare and influence, an increase in income tax rates on upper-middle and upper class households, tax cuts for the poor, and an increase in welfare spending by the federal government.[8]So,ya if you don’t “believe” in the above agenda, then you don’t like the Clintons.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Is there serious merit to their dislike, or is it all just ploys to keep them from power?Well, if Jealousy is the main reason why one doesn’t like someone and will do anything to see them fail – much like what the Good Ole’ Party has tried to do to the black man in the White House for the last 7 ½ years, then NO.What is one’s purpose in life? To screw other’s? Making it as difficult as possible to achieve your personal goals? To make as many obstacles and hurdles as conceivably possible to prevent one from getting a college degree because it’s not your fault their parents lost their jobs and pensions, or that they cannot afford to go to the Ivy Leagues as you did, or even payback their loans on a living wage? To look the other way with blinders-on and continue to believe that it’s not my problem? The innate difference might be that the Democrats have a heart and soul that keeps them up at night trying to find the answers to so many unresolved issues. To consider being a problem solver and have a can- do attitude is somehow wrong? Regardless of one’s philosophy we all as human beings have the right to dignity, to love and have the freedom to choose what we want in life as well as the pursuit of happiness. Putting up roadblocks and detours sets more up for failure, unhappiness and yes, Anger.This Anger and resentment which has been simmering and stewing for eons has bubbled-up to the surface and now, my dear Republicans we all must deal with #Drumpf! Thanks a lot!

I would argue that Eisenhower had more successes as President than as a General. Here are some of Ike’s Presidential Accomplishments:— In 1953, due to his well known military prestige he was able to persuade Americans to accept a negotiated peace - an Armistice - and at the same time convince the Chinese Leadership that failure to reach an negotiated agreement would lead to dire military consequences. Eisenhower considered this to be his greatest presidential accomplishment.— On May 17, 1954, the U.S Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. When the Arkansas Governor ordered the states National Guard to surround Central High School to keep the 9 black students from entering the school, President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730 which ‘federalized’ the Arkansas National Guard. He then ordered soldiers to protect and insure the safety of the "Little Rock Nine" and with that the rulings of the Supreme Court were upheld.— In 1956, Britain, France and Israel attacked and took military control of the Suez Canal. Eisenhower publicly condemned the attacks and ‘jawboned’ them into withdrawing their troops.— He sponsored and signed the “Federal Aid and Highway Act” of 1956. It provided for a system of interstate and defense highways. The Federal share of the cost would be 90 percent. At the time, it was the largest public works program in history. It has had an enormous impact on the nation. It influenced economic growth while providing substantial benefits to users, and has been a crucial factor in the nation's defense. It was Ike’s favorite piece of legislation.— He sponsored and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957. This was the first civil rights bill since Reconstruction. The Act established the Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department, and empowered federal officials to prosecute individuals that conspired to deny or abridge another citizen's right to vote. This Act was the beginning of the end of Southern Dixiecrats controlling Civil Rights legislation in Congress and the Jim Crow Laws.— He supported and signed the “National Defense Education Act” of 1958 to promote ‘strong’ science education. This became one of the most successful legislative initiatives in US education. It established the legitimacy of federal funding of higher education and made substantial funds available for low-cost student loans, boosting public and private colleges and universities.— During his 8 years in office, His administration balanced the Budget three times despite much pressure to do otherwise. For example, he refused to cut taxes and raise defense spending. His fiscal policy and cost restraint contributed to the prosperity of the 1950’s.— Finally, during his eight years in office, Ike was confronted with many major Cold War crises: Korea, Vietnam, Formosa, Suez, Hungary, Berlin, and the U-2 disaster. While more than once America seemed on the brink of war and those around him clamored to use the Bomb, Ike always kept a level head. He dealt calmly and rationally with each situation, always finding a solution that avoided war “without diminishing America's prestige”. Something we haven’t seen lately.
