The liberal media, from The New York Times to the liberal blogs — apart from Bernie Sanders enthusiasts — are ecstatic that Hillary Clinton has finally shattered that penultimate glass ceiling and has only one more level to go before she captures the ultimate prize.
At the same time, there’s some evidence that Clinton’s anointment is a bittersweet pill. I mean, is this really the woman feminists want to represent them in this vaunted achievement? Do even Clinton’s most ardent supporters regard her as an iconic figure anymore?
Besides the left’s misguided focus on Clinton’s gender, precisely what about Clinton is exciting to anyone other than political scientists fascinated by the establishment’s prowess in engineering the requisite level of image fraud to place Clinton in this position?
….
On the other hand, the Times describes Clinton’s nomination as a “thunderbolt.” But does anyone really feel thunderstruck by her managed ascension? It’s more like a thud than it is a thunderbolt. Rather than giddiness, the public’s reaction is probably closer to, “Can we just get this election over with already? If we’re going to have a female president, why must it be her?”
…..
The office of the presidency, especially in these perilous times and when the position has become so much more powerful because of lawless executive overreach, deserves more respect than to be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. We should elect the person best qualified and likeliest to save America from the ravages of Obama’s presidency, irrespective of gender or skin color.
Besides, seeing as liberals now maintain that gender and race are matters of individual choice and personal identification instead of biology, isn’t it hypocritical of them to make such a fuss over the possible election of a person to the presidency just because she was born a female?
