Why Hillary is "grotesque"

To the Editor:

Hillary Clinton’s “grotesque”-ness does not come from her desire to win. She is grotesque for other reasons. One is her reputation for being mean and conniving (such as with TravelGate, FileGate, etc). But more important is the apparent reason for her desire to win. Namely, to reach a position from which she can attempt to micromanage the most important aspects of Americans’ lives.

Hillary is the ultimate representative of the Nanny State. And for those citizens who aren’t sure whether Nannyism is so bad, remember that Hillary’s vision can only take hold through the decimation of liberty, both personal and economic, and through attacking our free enterprise system (i.e. the source of your job.)

Yes, Hillary’s extreme aggressiveness to win might seem unwomanly to some, but that’s irrelevant. What is truly repellent about her is her desire to be Big Nanny, offering “shared prosperity” in only a slightly prettier way than did Mao or Lenin. Hillary Clinton is a pants-suit version of what Orwell tried to warn us about, and that is why she’s “grotesque”.
