Oh the Humanity Mr. Clinton

Oh the Humanity Mr. Clinton July 27, 2016

Post birthday stupor is making news reading kind of a drag, especially since–and I do feel really bad about this–it’s a lot more fun to read about Mr. Trump than about Mrs. Clinton. You can draw you’re own conclusions about the writing.

So everything I’ve read this morning (and I praise the great spirit in the sky–don’t want to offend anyone by bringing God into it–for the ridiculousness of this) explained, in deathly boring prose, that Mr. Clinton’s task last night was to “humanize” his wife.

That’s funny. I mean. Really. In an awfully dark and ironical way, it is just a little bit funny that the Lady Candidate has to be “humanized”.

I like to say, indeed it’s a whole section of this blog, that men are indeed, no matter how much we fuss about it, human. The task of feminism–once so high minded and idealistic–to allow the woman to be so human as to engage in all functions of human life, like working at any kind of job, and voting, and engaging in civil discourse, and not being thought of as only bearing a small portion of what is required for true humanity, has worked so well that the other half of the human equation–men–have to be given the right to reclaim some of their original dignified humanity.

Too bad the feminist task let itself become entwined with jerks like Margaret Sanger, who undermined the very foundations of femininity by destroying the humanity of those tiny humans so dependent on women for life and dignity. When you inextricably marry the business of humanizing one person with the business of dehumanizing the other person (the baby) well, can you end up with anything less than someone like Mr. Clinton standing on a stage trying to convince the whole world that his wife, the first woman in America to be nominated for president, is in fact human? It’s too perfect.

It’s the perfection of Black Lives Matter not caring a whit about black infants living.

“Why can’t I move past this?” you ask. Aren’t there lots of other more important, or at least as important issues as abortion? Well. Sure. All the other issues are important. But I can’t see any solution to any of them that doesn’t include stopping all the killing. Or at least saying that the killing is wrong, evil, troubling, demoralizing, dehumanizing.

Woman are human. They should be allowed to live and be free and so should their babies. Men are human. They should be allowed to live and be free. Black people, brown people, blue people–all human. The elevation of one person cannot include the mashing of other people under the heel. It is what we humans do, but it doesn’t make it good and right.

So, good try Mr. Clinton. But better would be if both you and your wife would turn to the saving love of Jesus who confers his own perfect humanity to the penitent and contrite spirit. And now I will take a big aspirin and a break from the news to go attend to the demeaning task of caring for my children.
