Well now, here's a thread! Is this company "going public"? I doubt there is much money to be made here. Clinton Bashing People bashing is a common activity of some folks. Finding fault with others, the basher thinks, somehow elevates himself. In fact, from a moral standpoint, the basher is degraded by the very activity he believes elevates him. The current level of Clinton bashing in this country is a case in point. As the bashing has increased, Clinton's popularity has also increased. This should not be a surprise. Most folks view bashing as a base and cowardly act, and they are correct. Those who purport to be morally superior to the Clintons (yes, Hillary gets bashed even more than Bill, at times), are, in actuality, morally inferior. It is to their infinite credit that Bill and Hillary rarely return fire at their detractors. Hillary's comment that there is a "right wing conspiracy" aimed at bringing down her husband is a natural defense which may even have some truth in it. One can ask, too, what exactly it is that this bashing is supposed to accomplish. Is it good for the country? Hardly. The bashers aren't interested in what is good for the country. They have an agenda, and that agenda is to bring down the President of the United States, at any cost. Is this a patriotic concept? Hardly. And that is a great irony, in that most of these folks are conservative types who have always pretended to be more patriotic than the "do-gooder liberals". There will always be people who stand "holier than thou", ready to trash others for their supposed immorality. These people would do better to examine their own lives, try to improve themselves, and volunteer to help others. Volunteerism in this country is at an all-time high, and the Clintons are largely responsible for it. And they do this without feigning moral superiority. Now there's a concept! Dugger
