Glass Slippers and Glass Ceilings

     What a disgrace to history we have witnessed on June 7th.  Hillary Clinton is the first female Presidential nominee... and I, as a woman, am mortified that I am expected to be enthusiastic for this occasion!  I am being told I am supposed to feel like a glass ceiling has been shattered.  That Hillary Clinton getting, but in all honesty has "bought", the nomination is a monumental stepping stone for future generations of women, and also for myself.  Her nomination is a milestone for women everywhere....
     For anyone who is waiving the American flag with your face covered in tears of joy for this moment, you've been duped.  Had.  Your goat has been got.  There is nothing special about this woman, and by no means should anyone be using her as a role model for young girls or women anywhere.
     History has forever handed us a smoke screen of what is supposed to be a historic event.
    
     The main stream media will say "She's a pioneer for women's rights!"  I am 32 years old, and I can honestly tell you my rights did NOT come from her.  My rights came from women like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Stanton, Clelia Mosher, Sojourner Truth, and men who supported their movement like the remarkable Frederick Douglas.  Clinton's push for what we're labeling "women's rights" has everything to do with abortion and nothing of merit, but please continue this farce of telling Americans and the world that she is "fighting for us."  When has she ever come out publicly and denounced the laws that allow for acceptable beatings of a wife from her husband for disobeying him?  When has she ever threatened to cut off aid to nations who look at women as second class citizens?  When has Hillary Clinton gone to the EU to demand that every child, every girl, be allowed to complete their education before their families allow for an arraigned marriage to take place?  Where is their happily ever after?  Show me these transcripts!
     I cringe when I hear people give her credit as the Secretary of State.  She has "brought the world to negotiation tables"....  (Yes, I found this argument when I Goggled "Hillary Clinton Accomplishments.")  If you want to talk about bringing the world together to turn the US into the EU's welcome mat and subsequently weaken the US military  ... then SURE!  She's fantastic.

     How do you propose me to look up to, and idolize, a woman who accepts money for her foundation in exchange for political favors?  How can you expect me to stand in awe of a woman who stays locked in a marriage for political gain?  How much longer will I need to keep asking Hillary supporters to tell me her accomplishments and be content without an answer?  This woman has done nothing more than pad her pocket while sporting the latest designer label.  This woman says she understands the plight of the poor and middle class, and to claim she was broke when they left the White House. 
     She's nothing more than a modern day con artist who continuously scams the American people.
     I say this as a woman, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a granddaughter, and a niece; Hillary Clinton has stolen a momentous night from American history, and I will do everything within my power to deny her the White House.
