Sadly, I watched the return of the bodies of the four Americans killed in Libya in the solemn Transfer of Remains ceremony on TV yesterday.

Embarrassingly, I listened to Hillary Clinton give her comments.

I do understand the emotional issues here, but I do have a problem with how Hillary Clinton sounded to me as she delivered parts of her comments (paraphrasing here):

We are sadly gathered here to honor (fill in name here) for their brave service in (fill in place here). They will be missed by (list family names here), etc....

To me, it sounded like she was reading from a 'fill-in-the blank'/'check-the-appropriate-box' form.

From the U.S. Secretary of Mis-statement

Well. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Mis-statement, once again is 'representing' the United States in a foreign country. This time, she is blaming the United States for Mexico's drug and weapons problems, to wit:

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that an "insatiable" appetite in the United States for illegal drugs was to blame for much of the violence plaguing Mexico.

"We are. How could anybody conclude any differently?" Clinton told reporters in response to a question during a flight to Mexico for a two-day visit likely to be dominated by a drug war that killed 6,300 people in Mexico last year.

[...]

"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians," Clinton said. "I feel very strongly we have a co-responsibility."

[...]

Is there ANY Democrat in this country that feels the United States is NOT at fault for every god-damned thing wrong in the world?

I did not like this woman's husband; I do not like this woman. Both seem to relish blaming MY country for the world's ills.

Lastly, this sounds like the serious beginning of gun control (using the weapons into Mexico as the vehicle to carry the message). Wrong, Mrs. Hillary Clinton. There has not been any proof that weapons of any significant quantity are crossing the border from the U.S. into Mexico.

As much as I've refrained from lowering my standards to gutter sniping, in this case I just have to say to Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Mis-statement - Piss Off!

Note: 28 Days now and still no response from my so-called representatives.

(for the Clintons [and Barack Hussein Obama], that Semper Fi means I served in the US Marine Corps...you know, a branch of the military, a military ex-President Clown Clinton did his damndest to destroy.)

Comrade Hillary Clinton - Ever the Socialist

"BATON ROUGE, La. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina and pledged Saturday to funnel more federal aid to the still-recovering Gulf Coast if elected." (5 May 2007)

Well, why not!? It isn't like enough money hasn't already been WASTED there.

I have a problem with the government giving help to people who seem determined NOT to help themselves - too deadbeat to get themsleves out of harm's way but strong enough to DEMAND the government "take care of them." (Aimed specifically at New Orleans)

Given the number of people displaced by Katrina and the amount of money already spent there (again, New Orleans), I just hope the government is there to give me more than what I started out with next time I am in a disaster!

But leave it to Comrade Hillary to want to send more of my damned tax dollars to an area predominately populated by deadbeats (and again, I direct this at New Orleans).

Quote from Comrade Hillary: "Many of you are well enough off that...the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

America is already on track - maybe Comrade Hillary is looking down the wrong tracks?
