Welcome to the Communist Party, U.S.A.
How Hilary's scary speech revealed her mistake in wearing a white pants
suit to her coronation.

Wearing a white pantsuit, Hillary Clinton plodded out on stage to
accept the nomination that she had schemed, plotted, lied, cheated, rigged and
eventually fixed a series of elections to obtain.
Then she claimed that she was accepting the nomination of a race she
had rigged with "humility”.
Humility is not the first word that comes to mind when thinking of
Hillary Clinton. It is not even the last word. It is not in the Hillary
dictionary at all. But this convention was a desperate effort to humanize Hillary.
Everyone, including her philandering husband and dilettante daughter, down to
assorted people she had met at one point, were brought up on stage to testify
that she really is a very nice person.
This wasn't a convention. It was a series of character witnesses for a
woman with no character. It was an extensive apology for the Left's radical
agenda cloaked in fake patriotism and celebrity adulation.
Sinclair Lewis famously said, "When Fascism comes to America, it
will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross". More accurately, when
Communism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a
cross. That's what the Democratic National Convention was.
This night presented Hillary Clinton as all things to all people. She
was a passionate fighter who found plenty of time to spend with her family. She
is for cops and for cop-killers. She likes the Founding Fathers and political
correctness. She wants Democrats to be the party of working people and of
elitist government technocrats. And, most especially, she cares about people
like you.
The convention, like everything about Hillary, was awkward and
insincere.
There was Bernie glaring into the camera just as Hillary was thanking
him for rallying a bunch of young voters whom she hoped to exploit. There was
Chelsea Clinton reminding everyone that the Clintons are a dynasty and that
everyone in it gets a job because of their last name, right before introducing
her mother whose only real qualification for her belated entry into politics
was her last name. And there was Jennifer Granholm who got an opportunity to
have an incoherent public meltdown at the convention.
There's the mandatory video explaining how Hillary Clinton personally
hunted down Osama bin Laden while sitting in a chair. "She's carrying the
hope and the rage of an entire nation,” Morgan Freeman intones. Coming in
November 2016. And Hillary Clinton will be played by Meryl Streep. Donald Trump
is compared to Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's rather
obvious even to the handful of Hillary supporters that their candidate fits the
Ratched role much better than Trump does.
The audience was told incessantly that Hillary Clinton loves small
children. Once would have been enough. Twice would have been enough. By the
millionth repetition, it seems more like Hillary is the witch trying to lure
children into her gingerbread house.
Helping out with that task were a continuing parade of young female
celebrities. If you thought that Elizabeth Banks and Lena Dunham were awkward,
just wait for Katy Perry and Chloe Moretz urging their cohort to go out there
and vote for Hillary right after a bunch of ex-military people claim that the
woman who helped ISIS take over two countries and the Muslim Brotherhood even
more countries than that will be good for national security.
General John Allen, formerly of the Marine Corps, currently employed by
Qatar's pet Brookings think tank, insisted that only Hillary Clinton could
defeat ISIS. That's like saying that only Mrs. O'Leary's cow could put out the
Great Chicago Fire which she started. Furthermore Qatar played a major role in
the expansion of Islamic terrorism that helped culminate in the current crisis.
There were treasonous Republicans, confused celebrities and a weirdly
lifelike Nancy Pelosi. There was yet another New York politician likely to be
indicted, Andy Cuomo, trying much too hard. But topping them all was Hillary
Clinton who was in her manic mode, trying too hard to be human, and failing.
Eyes wide, looking suspiciously from side to side, shrilly barking
lines into the microphone that stripped them of their emotional context,
Hillary delivered both sides of her personality in one speech.
And both sides of her agenda.
The radical agenda of the Left was clumsily cloaked in references to
the Founding Fathers. The same group of people whose names the Left want to see
ground into the dirt. Hillary's call for collectivism, the insistence that none
of us can do anything as individuals, was dressed up in E Pluribus Unum and the
Founding Fathers.
Sinclair Lewis was almost right. When Communism comes to America, it
will be wrapped in the flag.
The old Elizabeth Warren-Barack Obama theme of "You didn't build
that” had become Hillary's theme once again. No one does anything on their own.
It takes a village of bloated bureaucrats to do anything. And Hillary has to be
appointed to run this village of bloated bureaucrats who, like her, never
actually do anything but sing their own praises and then give themselves pay
raises and more power to abuse.
Donald Trump, we are told, is a terrible person who actually believes
in individualism. While good progressives like Hillary know that individualism
is a pernicious lie told by running dog capitalists.
And Hillary will be a "a President for Democrats, Republicans, and
Independents”. She'll be such a good president that we won't even need
elections anymore. Just like the Democrats dispensed with them. There will just
be one "village” under Hillary and Huma and the rest of their ridiculous
neo-Reds.
Then Hillary will fix the economy by banning people from giving money
to Republicans and promoting voter fraud. She will legalize illegal aliens to
"grow our economy” by destroying still more American jobs. And she will
see to it that companies "share profits” to working people. And by working
people, she means the Clintons. College will be free. And the "super-rich”
will pay for it all.
The "super-rich” are the really rich. Not flat broke paupers like
the Clintons.
Half of Hillary's new positions were things that she had rejected as
too radical when Bernie proposed them. Now they're not too radical anymore.
Because the Democrats always keep turning Left.
Yesterday's crazy radical idea is tomorrow's Democratic slogan.
Yesterday's Alinsky disciple is tomorrow's moderate Democrat. Yesterday's
Communist notion is tomorrow's DNC speech.
And so Hillary Clinton embraced wealth redistribution and
re-appropriation from people who aren't her. She embraced it with verve and gusto.
She pushed Communism dressed up in references to the Founding Fathers. It takes
a village to take away all our political and economic freedoms.
Bernie Sanders lost, but he won. Or rather it didn't matter which of
them won since they both shared the same radical agenda. The only difference
was that Bernie was willing to be honest about it.
Hillary wasn't. Until now.
This was a speech that could have been given in Moscow during the Cold
War. Instead it was delivered to an enthusiastic audience of Democrats who love
the idea of taking away someone else's money. Beneath all the distractions, the
celebrities and family stories, is the fundamental idea that Hillary has more
of a right to your money than you do because she is "humbly” more enlightened
than you are.
There's a name for that ideology. It comes with a hammer and sickle,
with the color red, with gulags and firing squads, with little red books and
big black prisons, and the death of the human soul.
Hillary made a mistake by wearing a white pants suit to her coronation.
She should have worn red.
