Now that Hillary Clinton is the presumptive favorite to become the presidential nominee of the Democrat Party in 2008, she and her Democrat colleagues must confront the fact that nearly 50 percent of voters are unfavorably disposed toward her candidacy.
Clinton and her team of political professionals will need to convert at least some of those voters in order for her campaign have even a remote chance of succeeding.
Which is why feminists and those who advocate for Clinton are already playing the “Sexist” card in order to shame voters into electing a member of the weaker sex to serve as president.
The idea is to convince voters that We the People have violated the U.S. Constitutional promise of equal opportunity since a woman has never been elected to the presidency. We the people have discriminated against one half of our population for the innocent act of being born female.
With a bit of luck and a few hundred million dollars in campaign funds dredged up from unsavory sources by Norman Hsu, the Democrats hope to convince people to vote for Hillary for one overwhelming reason: She is female.
Expect blatantly sexist slogans like “After 230 Years, America Needs A Woman President,” and “Bring America Into the 21st Century–Send a Woman to the White House!” to clog the airwaves, print media and broadband venues over the next fourteen months.
Mind you, I am not opposed to a woman serving as U.S. President.
However, when deciding which level to pull, or which Chad to hang, intelligent voters should avoid supporting a candidate solely on the basis of his or her gender. That is decidedly “old school!”
As we Americans have learned over the past six plus years, the world is incredibly complex and dangerous. We need a knowledgeable and credible chief executive to navigate the United States through the most difficult time in our nation’s history.
Thus, before voting the prudent question should be “Who is the most qualified candidate?” Reproductive piping should be irrelevant.
In order to earn my vote, a candidate should reflect the following values, background and positions:
* A person of integrity and high morals.
* Protector of traditional American family values.
* Knowledgeable of world affairs, leaders, and political nuances.
* Capable of earning the respect of American men and women in uniform and leading same as commander-in-chief.
* Dedicated to the national defense and homeland security.
* Patriotic, to a fault.
* An unabashed “America First” zealot.
* Obsessed with the rule of law, including enforcement of all laws.
* Not smitten with the idea that he/she is personally above the law.
* Uses competence rather than diversity in staffing decisions.
* Fiscally prudent. Believes in low taxes, small government.
* Strong proponent of American sovereignty, culture and language.
* Dedicated to ending and reversing illegal immigration.
With all of those attributes, or most of them, a candidate would be well equipped to serve America with honor and success–regardless of which sex one happened to be born into!
So the answer to my original question is: Having a woman president would be terrific, provided she possessed the capabilities and qualities needed to succeed in office AND provided that she was the most qualified candidate.
What could be more fair?







Pedro Zapeta Should Be Deported Immediately, Sans $59,000!
September 30, 2007By John W. Lillpop
The legal case against illegal alien Pedro Zapeta has socialists in the Democrat party and Catholic Church wringing their hands in angst at America’s unfair, broken immigration system.
The rest of the story is as follows.
Pedro Zapeta had a unique, gangster-style vision of the American Dream. In his corrupt, polluted little mind, Zapeta thought it made perfect sense, both logically and morally, to ignore America’s borders, immigration laws, and income tax laws in order to pursue a far greater objective.
Namely, the personal enrichment of Pedro Zapeta.
Thank goodness, Zapeta’s twisted version of the American Dream ultimately turned into a nightmare when authorities actually enforced the law.
CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/27/immigrant.money/index.html
Pedro Zapeta is an illegal alien from Guatemala who has squatted in America for 11 years. Over that time, Pedro washed dishes in Stuart, Florida and, by living frugally, managed to save $59,000.
Proving once and for all that most rocket scientists simply will not wash dishes for more than 11 years at $5.50 an hour, Zapeta finally decided to return to his beloved Guatemala with that $59,000 in tow. Like on his person, in a duffel bag, if you can imagine.
Zapeta’s nightmare began when airport security discovered his cash stash and began asking questions. It was soon obvious that Zapeta was an illegal alien who was in violation of the U.S. law that requires one to declare cash in excess of $10,000 to customs.
Once authorities had sorted out Zapeta’s situation, his $59,000 was seized and he was turned over to Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Of course, Zapeta was immediately released by morons at INS. Deportation proceedings did, however, commence.
Amazingly enough, Zapeta did not disappear into the shadows, as most released illegal aliens typically do.
And why, pray tell, did Zapeta not flee to Newark, New Jersey, San Francisco, California or some other liberal infested sanctuary city?
Perhaps the invading weasel had finally seen the light and decided to repent? Maybe all those years in a hot, stuffy American kitchen washing dishes had imbued this criminal with a redemptive sense of right versus wrong?
Wrong!
Actually, it was a combination of unbridled greed and stupidity, rather than a spiritual awakening that kept Zapeta from going to San Francisco with flowers in his hair.
Remember that $59,000? It turns out that Pedro continues to believe that he is entitled to that money— and his duffel bag. A cabal of corrupt leftist lawyers has worked, pro bono, in an attempt to recover “his” money.
Along the way, Zapeta received $10,000 in donations from bleeding heart types who always feel sympathy for non-American criminals, especially those in America illegally.
But, alas, Zapeta has been hit with more bad news. Apparently the dishwasher fool paid zero taxes on that $59,000. Thus, the IRS impounded the $10,000 in donations as a lien against unpaid taxes.
Justice! At long last!
Of course, liberals are outraged at the way the U.S. government is treating poor Pedro Zapeta. After all, they argue, he is an uneducated, non-English speaking peasant who was unaware of the U.S. law pertaining to declaration of moneys being carried in one’s duffel bag through security at a busy airport.
To liberals who make that outrageous argument, I ask the following:
* Was Zapeta also unaware of the fact that his income is taxable?
* How much sympathy is owed an illegal alien who has been here for 11 years without taking the time to learn English, and become familiar with our laws?
* How much pro bono legal work would leftist lawyers donate to help an American citizen charged with tax evasion?
For his part, the addled Pedro Zapeta said the following, “They are treating me like a criminal when all I am is a working man,” he said.
Sorry, Pedro, even though you and your brain dead attorneys may not know it, you are a despicable criminal who needs to get the hell out of America and never come back!
Merely deporting illegal alien Pedro Zapeta is not enough. America needs to send a message to other third world criminals, and would be criminals.
Namely, America is fed up with foreigners who, for whatever reason, think they are entitled to invade America. That foggy thinking will no longer be tolerated.
Here is my proposal: In addition to deporting Zapeta immediately, our government should send the $59,000 this nut case was carrying in a duffel bag to the beleaguered families of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
By doing so, Zapeta and other criminals will know that there is a severe penalty to be paid by those who come here illegally and evade income taxes!
It would also help to ease the suffering of the families of two patriotic men who have been sabotaged by our government and addle-brained president simply for defending America against invasion.
