Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (b. 1947), is the wife of former President Bill Clinton who was impeached in a sexual harassment scandal. Clinton also served as U.S. Secretary of State under Barack Obama and a U.S. Senator from New York.
She is an elitist, liberal, pro-abortion advocate, supporter of the death penalty, has not publicly endorsed same sex marriage but supports civil unions and federal funding for embryotic stem-cell research.
As a role model for young girls and women, Hillary Clinton facilitated Mr. Clinton's philandering, lied about it, covered up allegations of sexual harassment and abuse, and attacked critics to further the Clinton's own personal ambitions.[1]
Early life and background
- Main article Hillary Clinton early life and career
As a young woman Hillary told classmates her ambition was to marry a Senator. Hillary was a solid Goldwater Republican in 1964; Goldwater was one of 6 Republicans who voted against the Republican party leadership and joined 21 Southern Democrat segregationists to vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Hillary later repeatedly made the claim when speaking to African-American audiences she had been inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King since 1962. Goldwater, who was considered an extremist at the time Hillary supported him, responded to his critics without denying it saying, "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice".[2][3] During Hillary's tenure at the White House and beyond, Hillary routinely calls all political opponents "extremists", essentially equating anyone with legitimate opposing opinions to terrorists.[4]
Only when she met Bill, did her political views flower and she became a Democrat.
First Lady
- Main article Hillary Clinton First Lady
Hillary Clinton was a colorless First Lady characterized by her drab personal appearance and dress, poor taste in interior design, rudeness and foul mouth mistreatment of subordinates-even to those protecting her life with their own lives-and a ruthless political ambition manifested in a failed Healthcare “reform” boondoggle.[5][6][7][8]
As the breadwinner of the Clinton family Hillary mocked and ridiculed stay-at-home mothers.[9]

Secretary of State
- Main article Hillary Clinton Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton's job as Obama's Secretary of State was the subject of a Congressional investigation after it had become evident that the deaths of four Americans during the Islamic terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were caused by incompetence and malfeasance.[10]
The "inevitable" Hillary Clinton, 2012-2016 version
- Main article United States presidential election, 2016
On April 12, 2015, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced her candidacy for the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2016 presidential election via a video on her website.[11]
The truth comes out
Speaking to a group of Democratic loyalists in Massachusetts in 2014, Hillary indulged some of the old-fashioned unprovoked, pointless partisanship and divisiveness well known to the victims of Clintonism. Hillary Clinton alleged, "Don't let anyone tell you that corporations and businesses create jobs."[12]
Job destruction
After Congressional Democrats voted down President Obama's proposal to create a NAFTA-like Pacific Trade Zone with China, Japan, and about a dozen other countries, to no one one surprise Hillary Clinton once again flip-flopped to garner headlines in support of what public opinion polls were saying. CNN reported Hillary had spoken out in favor of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) no less than 45 times prior, an issue which supposedly she now opposes.[13]
Wikipedia darling
On the issue of the controversial, biased online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Clinton sent a message of congratulations that was read at the opening session of the Wikimania 2012 conference in Washington, DC.[14]
