Seriously, Can You Name One of Hillary's Accomplishments?

<p>What has Hillary Clinton accomplished&quest; The query is baffling both ardent Clinton haters as well as the former Secretary&&num;8217&semi;s closest supporters&comma; with either side equally struggling to recall even a single positive moment&period; Not surprisingly&comma; many supporters have mentally traveled decades to seek out an accomplishment&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>A recent list by Politico&comma; which seems to focus primarily on college accomplishments&comma; read more like an impressive young person&&num;8217&semi;s first professional C&period;V&period; than a serious presidential candidate&&num;8217&semi;s resume&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The new Hillary Clinton&comma; not to be confused with the southern drawled Hillary who waxed poetic regarding growing up in a conservative home&comma; has taken the unique direction of citing her FLOTUS experience to bolster credibility&period; &nbsp&semi;Unfortunately for Hillary&comma; the truth of what occurred during those 8 years certainly won&&num;8217&semi;t make any Democrat happy&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>With the amount of African American politicians and community organizers endorsing Hillary and praising her rhetoric on crime reform&comma; you could almost forget most of the policies in need of reform started during Bill Clinton&&num;8217&semi;s presidency&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The Clintons reigned over America during the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates in&nbsp&semi;American history&period; Bill Clinton&comma; who has been called the &&num;8220&semi;first black president&comma;&&num;8221&semi; &nbsp&semi;supported the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity for crack versus powder cocaine&comma; which produced staggering racial injustice in sentencing and boosted funding for drug-law enforcement&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In addition&comma; the Clintons championed a &dollar;30 billion crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes&comma; mandated life sentences for three-time offenders&comma; and authorized more than &dollar;16 billion for state prison grants and the expansion of police forces&period; When the Clintons would finally leave the White House&comma; the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As Ohio State University law professor Michelle Alexander wrote in The Root&comma; &nbsp&semi;&&num;8220&semi;Human rights watch reported that in seven states&comma; African Americans constituted 80 &ndash&semi; 90 percent of all drug offenders sent to prison&comma; even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs&period; Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for Afican Americans more that 26 times the level in 1983&period;&&num;8221&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As FLOTUS&comma; Hillary&&num;8217&semi;s legacy is one of complete duplicitousness and vulgarity&comma; and she will be better remembered for the alternative life-style the first couple subjected America to during this period&period; &nbsp&semi;The time did&comma; however&comma; teach the Democrats a very important election rule&colon; you can still get the minority vote while you&&num;8217&semi;re creating racist policies &ndash&semi; you just have to play the sax and have sympathetic rhetoric in the public eye&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As Secretary of State&comma; Hillary Clinton continued her statistically unlikely tradition of being wrong about everything&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In 2009&comma; in the wake of a mass resurgence in violence and political corruption&comma; Hillary Clinton traveled to Iraq&period; &nbsp&semi;&&num;8220&semi;Let me assure you and repeat what President Obama said&comma; we are committed to Iraq&comma; we want to see a stable&comma; sovereign&comma; self-reliant Iraq&comma;&&num;8221&semi; Hillary told a fearful crowd at a town hall meeting at the U&period;S&period; Embassy in the capital&period; &nbsp&semi;Clinton called recent attacks a sign that extremists are afraid the Iraqi government is succeeding&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Hillary Clinton never returned to Iraq&period; The country now has been split into three separate regions&comma; with the majority of U&period;S supplied weaponry and equipment falling into the hands of ISIS or Iran&period; Thanks to the decision to abandon Iraq&comma; thousands of American soldiers died in vain and the effect was to assist Sunni militant groups and expand the territorial influence of Iran&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>After visiting Afghanistan&comma; despite the advice of the military&comma; Hillary supported a major reduction in American Troops&period; 74 percent of American casualties in Afghanistan have occurred since the dramatic pull out of troops&period; For a candidate to vote for America to enter into two wars&comma; supporting abrupt exits and a discontinuation of meaningful contact for the sake of garnering an anti-war reputation is the peak of hypocrisy&period; The Afghani people and remaining American soldiers still in Afghanistan pay for Clinton&&num;8217&semi;s double-speak each and every day&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Who could forget when a beaming Hillary &&num;8211&semi; after hearing Muammar Ghaddafi was brutally tortured&comma; publically sodomized in the street for sticks and pipes&comma; and finally killed &ndash&semi; gloated &nbsp&semi;&ldquo&semi;We came&comma; we saw&comma; he died&&num;8221&semi; &quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Proud of her accomplishment of supporting Sunni rebels &&num;8211&semi; the kind that enjoy shouting &&num;8220&semi;Allahu Akbar&&num;8221&semi; and raping their enemies &ndash&semi; Hillary looked forward to the positive outcome of the Libyan Civil war&period; She characterized the administration&rsquo&semi;s response as &&num;8220&semi;smart power at its best&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>With Gadhafi dead&comma; al Qaeda became the largest victor in the conflict&comma; taking over a large percentage of the region&period; The UN estimates 400&comma;000 Libyans have fled their homes to escape the fighting&comma; while the unofficial website Libya Body Count estimates 2&comma;825 people were killed last year&period; Complicating Libya&&num;8217&semi;s political landscape further are armed groups claiming allegiance to ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi&comma; including the fighters controlling the majority of Eastern territory&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The country once known as Libya is no more&period;&nbsp&semi;The Department of State warns U&period;S&period; citizens against all travel to Libya and recommends that U&period;S&period; citizens currently in Libya depart immediately&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In a tenure marked by the destabilization or complete destruction of the majority of Middle Eastern countries&comma; Hillary supporters have impressed with their desperate attempt to find a silver lining&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Aside from a speech regarding female empowerment &lpar;remember the hundreds of millions of dollars the Clinton foundation received from Saudi Arabia&comma; where women aren&&num;8217&semi;t allowed to drive and are required to present three male witnesses to accuse someone of rape&quest; &rpar; and a temporary&comma; barely functional cease fire between Hamas and Israel&comma; no one has been able to provide a legitimate example of an accomplishment&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Ultimately&comma; the Democrats placed the bar on the ground with Barrack Obama&comma; a man whose political experience was 768 days in the Senate&period; It would appears having an accomplishment is no longer a requirement to become President of the United States&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Editor&&num;8217&semi;s note&colon;<&sol;strong> Couple of things&comma; Hillary seems to want to take credit for killing Osama bin Laden&period; It wasn&&num;8217&semi;t the State Department conducting that hunt&comma; it was the CIA and the military&period; And they had been hunting long before she arrived on the scene&period; All she did was get out of the way&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>She also claims credit for the CHiP program which insures 8 million children&period; According to Dick Morris&comma; after Hillary&&num;8217&semi;s universal health care crashed and burned&comma; it was Republican Bob Dole who introduced the bill for this insurance&period; Hillary did not support it&period; &nbsp&semi;The Democrats re-wrote the bill and that is what passed&period; The CHiP program was never Hillary&&num;8217&semi;s goal&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
