There’s a
current commercial on television which castigates the Republican nominee Donald
Trump for having made fun of a disabled reporter in mimicking his speech and
behavioral patterns.
In the
political ad, a young husband and wife make us aware of how much they love
their own disabled daughter, and what a blessing she is to them. (And no doubt,
she is). Each parent goes on to express abject shock with the words and actions
of Mr. Trump.
And to be
sure, I have little or no use for this ‘fat cat’ and find his behavior, in this
regard, reprehensible.
And though
the commercial doesn’t specifically endorse the Democratic nominee Hillary
Clinton, obviously at this stage she is the only other viable candidate for the
office of the Presidency of the United States. I mean if you don’t vote for
one, you either cast your vote for the other, enter a write in candidate, (and
waste your vote) or refuse to vote at all.
It is
impossible for me to watch the ad without thinking,
“If Donald
Trump is the bad guy here, the implication must be that Hillary Clinton is the
good girl here.”
Well now, to
be fair let’s back up a moment.
Isn’t
Hillary Clinton in favor of unimpeded access to women’s health care? (a.k.a. the
pro-choice agenda).
Given this
fact, the little girl in the previous illustration, and for that matter, the
reporter which Donald Trump characterized, might have never moved, and breathed
and lived on this planet. And given the realization that this country provides
unrestricted access to abortion, 1.5 million unborn American children succumb
to abortion on a yearly basis.
I am no fan
of DT or HC, and I will be hard pressed to cast a vote for either, but the
foregoing reflection seems especially ironic to me.
