NOT HER FIRST RODEO
Our country was founded upon the principle that the government is supposed to serve the people and not the other way around. All information on any agency is supposed to be transparent for the citizens to see. While certain aspects of government must kept confidential such as military intelligence, for the most part anything funded by the taxpayers should be accountable to the citizens of this nation. All of us remember the huge outcry by conservatives such as myself about the revelations of the Planned Parenthood and the undercover videos of staff members discussing the sale of human fetal body parts.
From what I have read that practice of selling baby parts had been going on for an extended period of time. It is also my understanding that it is against federal law to sell human organs or tissues for profit. For most Americans this disgusting practice would have never come to light if it had not been for the people willing to go undercover and expose what was going on. A couple of days ago I heard a report that a grand jury was looking into the Planned Parenthood actions; while the grand jury didn’t indict Planned Parenthood they did indict the undercover reporters that obtained the videos.
In my opinion it is absurd that the very government that is supposed to serve and protect the citizens of this nation will punish the people that are courageous enough to tell about the actions of a government funded entity. I can understand indicting someone who records, publishes or allows state or military secrets to be viewed without the proper clearance. In that example people’s lives can be jeopardized. In the case of the expose of Planned Parenthood their greed and a total disregard for human life was brought to light.
While I cannot understand the lack of outrage about the practice of selling baby parts, I also cannot understand why there is little condemnation of Democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In the case of Mrs. Clinton using a private E-mail server and using that server to store highly classified and top secret government information is completely idiotic. When we have operatives in various countries that supply our nation with intelligence they deserve to have their identity protected. With all of the reports of data being hacked in companies such as Target it is beyond insanity to put national secrets on a private server. This is not Hillary Clinton’s first rodeo, she knows better; she only spent 8 years in the white house with her husband Bill Clinton. Her only response is to say that the emails weren’t classified when she sent them. I remember a quote by Adolph Hitler, he said, “If you tell a lie long enough people will accept it as the truth”. It is a sad state of affairs in this nation when we as a people cannot tell when we are being lied to, but we are ready to prosecute someone who is telling us of the actions of Planned Parenthood. I guess all that I have written about is nothing new, throughout history people that tell the truth are persecuted and condemned for doing so.
