Anybody But Hillary ('ABH')

Washington, DC (TLS). During a campaign swing yesterday, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton made the following remark: 'The oil companies have made massive windfall profits. If I am elected I will take that money and put it in a fund to develop alternative energy sources.'

The remark was met with wild cheers among the friendly crowd. It seems the profit-bashing motif has caught on big-time in America, perpetrated by Leftist socialists who consistently refer to the profits of the big oil companies as 'obscene,' 'immoral,' and 'excessive.' This sounds fine to those who have a vested interest in class warfare in this country, pitting those who do not make money against those who do.

However, since when does government get to decide how much profit is 'too much?' Price gouging is a separate issue here. We are not speaking of price-gouging to take advantage of citizens in the wake of, say, a hurricane. We are speaking of a publicly-traded entity with a responsibility to the millions of shareholders who expect that business to turn a profit. If the corporation turns big profits, everyone benefits--the shareholders, the executives, the workers, and eventually the economy as a whole. For the oil companies to make huge profits that benefit their stockholders, who then pump millions of dollars back into the economy, is a healthy thing for America.

But not if you are Hillary Clinton.

Hillary says she intends, to 'take that money.' By whose authority? Does that money belong to her? Does it belong to government? Who else besides the shareholders does that money belong?

In short, what Hillary Clinton is proposing is stealing. She wishes to undertake a massive government program of stealing profits from the pockets of the average American stockholders. She would take these stolen funds and place them in a government pool where government would then decide how the money is to be spent.

The notion is called 'socialism,' and it is anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom, anti-free enterprise, and a subversion of the U.S. Constitution. According to our way of government, private business propels the economy, not government. Government serves only as a referee to level the playing field so that businesses can compete fairly. Government in this country was never envisioned as having the means of production. Yet this is precisely what Hillary is proposing.

This dangerous and subversive attempt to smash American free enterprise and the profit-driven nature of our economy MUST BE STOPPED NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

And thus, I am calling for a nationwide stop-Hillary movement called, 'Anybody But Hillary' (ABH).

True, I would prefer a solidly conservative alternative, such as Duncan Hunter or Condi Rice. Yet, when I begin looking at Hillary Clinton very closely and realistically weighing the consequences of her words and proposals, a sobering picture emerges. Unless we stop this woman whom Dick Morris refers to as 'the most dangerous woman in America,' we are going to be stuck for four long years with an unabashed, abject Socialist who will attempt to dismantle American liberty and free enterprise.

In short, I would much rather prefer Rudi Giuliani, John McCain, or Mitt Romney than to suffer through the nightmare of a Hillary Clinton presidency. True, Giuliani, McCain, and Romney may be Republicans in name only, but they are nowhere near the trainwreck of a Hillary Clinton administration.

As a gun owner and supporter of gun rights, I am very wary of Giuliani, McCain, and Romney. Yet they can be influenced and lobbied. The money they get will come from those of us who will not tolerate any wavering from a firm support of 2nd Amendment rights. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is not only a gun-grabber but an abject Socialist, European style. She will target businesses, industry, entrepreneurs, and free enterprise with a vengeance. She will tax such businesses into extinction. She will appoint Socialists to the Supreme Court who neither value nor adhere to the principles of the Founding Fathers of this nation as found in the U.S. Constitution.

Thus, no matter what, we must stop Hillary Clinton. No matter who the Republican nominee may be, we must get out and support that person with all our might. We CANNOT under ANY circumstance allow this woman to become the President of the United States.

And so, my friends, join me in 'ABH'! ANYBODY BUT HILLARY!
