The Clinton Rush on the Ultimate

Hillary Clinton is a lesson to us all on wrongness in political thinking. Spoken and unspoken her campaign really rides on her gender. Every other aspect of her being is politically repellent - and gender is not a political category. Since Bill Clinton's shameful presidency ended the interests his political constituency represents have been organising his return.

This window-dressing of democracy, with mass attention diverted constantly from real economic and political issues to social issues and cultural dispute has been imported wholesale into our country by New Labour, under the guise of redressing inequality and absolute poverty.

But what the Labour party, political arm of the trade union movement, and what the trade union movement itself once stood against, has passed. Passed in that no-one is absolutely poor in our country, nor has been since before the Second war, and passed in that no group that is not readily open to all should be allowed to claim supremacy in policy and decision-taking over other people's individual lives.

Labour and its factions are the past - essential, even praiseworthy as they have been in the past, their traditions' use, to cloak state authoritarianism and impose cultural conformity, now damages everything a democratic, individualist, pluralist governance and constitution stands for.

The Americans are blessed, as ever, with their magnificent constitution - so powerful in spirit and so splendidly expressed that many generations of its interpretation have resulted in its clarion voice ringing out always louder, never watered down into the drivel of politically correct speech and attitude; always inspiring every new generation with its vision and its capacity to offer an interpretation of history that embodies change with the constant of individual freedom.

Better than to list the attempts to pervert democracy the Clinton regime and its apparatchiks and nomenklatura used to spin and lie their way to the production of their 'managed democracy' and permanence in power, it is more telling, and more familiar, to consider its shadow regime installed in our country by New Labour.

The widening of the gulf between most of us and the illicitly rich; the destruction of real hope of advancement through education and merit under the guise of no discrimination (lack of discrimination can destroy the lives and hopes of the least privileged faster than almost any other system); their tax mulcting that drained the life out of entrepreneurship and favoured their corporate sponsors; their privatisation of social assets to favoured Party donors, producing social service regimes with what was called choice and empowerment that was, in truth, the transfer of privatised economic opportunities to exploit the old, ill, young and disadvantaged; the imposition of false cultural proprieties that created thought crime and damages real social relations; the unforgivable registration of people's lives on insecure state data bases; the stealing of the mantle of social reform that belongs to all of our people - liberals, conservatives, friendly societies and co-operative movements, visionaries and statesmen, religious and humanitarians, in peace and in war.

We have no real defence against this monstrous assault upon our way of life and its organic freedoms; our institutions and constitution were found to be hollowed-out glories, and we are now a democratic basket case.

But in America, where the great assault upon us, the people, and our individual right to pursue happiness, was first fantasized and effected under 'democrat' governance, (only to be halted by another, at least open, choice of using force to take what an imperial vision of America needed), democracy and individual assertion is theirs to choose and theirs to take.

Do not choose Hillary Clinton; and if she is chosen, do not vote for her.
