Shall we rue his election, as \u201cNever Trumpers\u201d continue to do? Well, first of all \u2014 He\u2019s what we\u2019ve got for the next 41 or 89 months.<\/em> Had we gotten Hillary instead, we would not have encountered fewer lies from the Oval Office, nor from whatever new bathroom she would have selected to store her next-generation stealth computer server. In a world where Benghazi was caused by a YouTube video that almost no one saw \u2014 and which no one conceivably viewed through its painfully not-soon-enough conclusion \u2014 and in which a Secretary of State had exchanged tens of thousands of emails regarding her yoga classes and daughter\u2019s wedding dress, one need not fantasize to grasp how much public lying would have emanated from a new Clinton West Wing, Oval Office, and from under the President\u2019s desk had we been Hillaried.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hillary would have assured the Obama Revolution a prospective permanence, endangering the future of the Republic without slowing the rise of the seas or healing the planet. Would Michelle Obama by now be the ninth Supreme Court Justice casting tie-breaking votes? Or Barack? Or a kindred soul?

In a world in which the politically deranged and morally challenged Southern Poverty Law Center can defame the most decent of Christian religious-freedom advocates, groups like Alliance Defending Freedom<\/a>, as \u201cHate Groups,\u201d what would have been left of religious freedom under a Hillary? And what of the embattled First Amendment right to speak one\u2019s mind freely in an environment where there is no inducement to violence, no imminent lawless action, but a plethora of campus intolerance and university schemes aimed at taxing speech into silence by imposing exorbitant \u201csecurity fees<\/a>\u201d and moving conservative groups and scholars to off-site inaccessible venues and to obscure dates<\/a> when students are otherwise engaged?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
