Hitchens on Hillary's Falsified 'Bosnian Combat Record'

Love him, hate him, respect him, reject him, you have to admit the man can write, and he is unflinchingly fearless in the application of his trade. Article here. Excerpt:

'The punishment visited on Sen. Hillary Clinton for her flagrant, hysterical, repetitive, pathological lying about her visit to Bosnia should be much heavier than it has yet been and should be exacted for much more than just the lying itself. There are two kinds of deliberate and premeditated deceit...
... Sen. Clinton has managed to commit both of these offenses to veracity and decency and how in doing so she has rivaled, if not indeed surpassed, the disbarred and perjured hack who is her husband and tutor.

...
Were I to be asked if Sen. Clinton has ever lost any sleep over those heaps of casualties, I have the distinct feeling that I could guess the answer. She has no tears for anyone but herself. In the end, and over her strenuous objections, the United States and its allies did rescue our honor and did put an end to Slobodan Milosevic and his state-supported terrorism. Yet instead of preserving a polite reticence about this, or at least an appropriate reserve, Sen. Clinton now has the obscene urge to claim the raped and slaughtered people of Bosnia as if their misery and death were somehow to be credited to her account!'

I disagree with 90% of what Hitchens believes. But I truly respect how he writes and his incredible grasp of history.

His recent book "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" is like a college course in the history of religions.

And he bashes every faith equally, showing no mercy about what he basically argues is humanity's most deadly superstition.

The belief in "God(s)." Of any variety.

It's a tough read, because you will question whatever spiritual beliefs you hold, and will have to reexamine them.

(The concluding lines from Hitchen's piece) -- "Is there no such thing as shame? Is there no decency at last? Let the memory of the truth, and the exposure of the lie, at least make us resolve that no Clinton ever sees the inside of the White House again."

That is a full and eloquent facial.

Slam freakin' dunk!

Hillary needs to become a clerk at Wal-Mart for a few years and try to redeem her soul.

I really despise her. I guess it's obvious.
Duh?

(And not because she is a woman. Because she is Hillary ...)

I think my phone and internet have been tapped.... ;-)

She never sends me any appeals for money so that's how I know.
