Since Hillary Rodham's anointment as co-president, Americans have been treated to some of the silliest, most sanctimonious, arrogant, condescending morality lessons to come out of the Oval Office and the Washington press corps in a long time. With her halo aglow, she has fearlessly castigated the pharmaceuticals industry and excoriated the medical profession.

She is convinced that she alone can save America from two of its most vexing problems (both of which are highly exaggerated and distorted): the health-care "crisis" and the country's spiritual malaise. Hillary groupies in the media are exhibiting their sophistry and embarrassing ignorance when they praise her 'politics of meaning' as if it is some profound revelation.

Thumb through the pages of Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Marx, Bacon, Adam Smith; you name it. You'll see that all of them defend their particular political and/or economic systems foremost on moral grounds. To pretend that what Hillary is saying is something new is an insult. Liberals can get away with treating us as ignorant fools only if we let them.

Key quote, "By publicly parading her liberalism and her plans to foist it on the rest of us, she has become a feminist icon."
