My number one reason is that if future generations look back at our society, a society in which supposedly everybody has the chance to be president, and they see a succession of presidents that goes like this: Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, (Is Jeb Bush next and then will Chelsea be ready?) they will without a doubt conclude that democracy stopped functioning and that bothers me a lot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>The next thing that bothers me about Hillary is that she has been a power broker in Washington for thirty years and therefore must be owned by many special interests and I am tired of being governed by special interests. I could list a bunch of other reasons, but I recently got hammered for being a misogynist because of my views. Do my views really make me a misogynist?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, Michael, of course you&#8217;re a misogynist. And a racist and probably a homophobe too. Because approximately 100% of the time you start wining an argument with a far left liberal they&#8217;re going to start name calling, and they don&#8217;t have enough imagination to come up with anything but those tired old standards.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;\" alt=\"racecard.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davehitt.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/racecard.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/>The race card is their favorite, of course. Don&#8217;t like Islam? They&#8217;ll call you a racist. Point out that Islam isn&#8217;t a race, and they&#8217;ll insist that you must hate Arabs. Like all demagogues, they don&#8217;t respond to reason, logic or common sense. You have a better chance of success teaching the concept of square roots to an Irish Setter. (Gasp. Was that a slur on the Irish?)<\/p>\n<p>I have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davehitt.com\/nov00\/hillary.html\" target=\"_blank\">long list<\/a> of reasons I despise Hillary, but to a true lefty, none of them matter. When shared my opinion with a far left friend of mine her reply was, &#8220;What&#8217;s the matter, don&#8217;t you like strong women?&#8221; Sheesh. If course I like strong women. That&#8217;s one of my reasons for hating Hillary &#8211; she isn&#8217;t one. A strong woman would never spend decades chained to a serial philanderer. She might forgive him for cheating on her the first time. Maybe she should have forgiven him the second time. But when he did it for the third time a strong woman would have told him the honeymoon was over, although in their case, they still had four days left.<\/p>\n<p>But when a lefty calls you a racist, misogynist or homophobe, don&#8217;t despair. Instead, you should celebrate. It means they&#8217;re desperate because you&#8217;ve backed them into a corner and they have no rational response to you. They&#8217;ll never admit that, of course, because in their fantasy world they are always right, and therefore always win every debate. But you&#8217;ll know better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Bates writes: I hope I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not a misogynist, but I hate Hillary and I think I have good reasons.
