The Smartest Woman In The World recently sent an appeal for funds to my wife. This is the letter we composed in response. I'm sure many of you share our sentiments...

Dear Hillary,

As a citizen of the State of New York, I, too, am very concerned about the direction in which this state, and in fact this country, appears to be headed. Therefore, I am prepared to make a generous contribution in support of the candidate who shares my deep commitment to both my values and my concerns regarding the future of our nation and the lives of our children.

Our children represent our future. Nothing is more important than ensuring that they are able to grow up protected and safe from harm. Judging by the way you've spent the past 30 years "working to make a difference in the lives of children and their families" by advancing the idea that the mass slaughter of babies in the womb is an acceptable option among supposedly civilized people, however, I can clearly see that you have no love or concern for children whatsoever. While you resort to mass hysteria, remorseless demagoguery and outright lies to advance your disarmament agenda under the banner of "the safety of our children," you promote a disregard for human life that has resulted in the needless deaths of tens of millions of the most vulnerable and innocent of "our children." Even if your "12 children a day die from gun violence" figure was true (it's not--this misleading statistic includes suicides, violence by gang members and criminals shot by police, and also includes as "children" all persons up until the age of twenty-one), that number, while tragic, would still pale in comparison to the utter butchery and carnage committed daily in abortion "clinics" nationwide.

You defend a woman's right to "choose" to murder her own flesh and blood, but seek to take away a woman's right to "choose" to defend herself in life-threatening situations against an assailant that is undoubtedly bigger and stronger than she is, an attitude reminiscent of the old misogynistic rape advice, "just lay back and enjoy it." Obviously, not only do you hate children, but you hate women, too.

When you refer to enacting "sensible" gun laws, you are admitting that the 20,000 existing anti-gun laws are something less than sensible. I agree. Laws that infringe on a God-given right which is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, and only affect lawful gun owners, can in no way be called sensible. Adding to the already bloated number of unconstitutional laws already on the books will do nothing to deter criminals who, by definition of the word, do not obey any laws. While I recognize the obligation of gun owners to properly educate themselves regarding safety, and the necessity of justly punishing those irresponsible people whose failure to safely secure and store their firearms results in needless tragedy, I still submit that our children are far safer in a world in which law-abiding citizens have the ability to protect themselves from criminals. In fact, numerous studies have clearly shown that more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens actually serve to deter and decrease the incidence of crime, rather than increase it.

In a way, I can see why you so strongly support the disarmament of American citizens, particularly women: Had any one of the growing number of victims sexually assaulted by your husband been armed with a self-defense weapon, you would likely now be a widow, thereby deprived of your vehicle of opportunity to seize power and advance your socialist agenda. By discarding the Constitution and imposing draconian "gun control," you can help to ensure that Bill will not wind up on the wrong end of a .38 Special during some future dalliance.

You claim to seek "tolerance," while what you actually demand is unquestioned, politically-correct acceptance of perverted and immoral lifestyle choices. Those who do not view such deviant behavior as normal and nourishing are branded by you as "bigoted" and "mean-spirited," and the expression of any viewpoint which dares to contradict yours is labeled as "hate speech." You ask for tolerance, but hypocritically tolerate no beliefs other than your own. While I will certainly tolerate those among us who, for whatever reason, choose perversion over normalcy, I cannot "accept" such behavior as natural, nor do I want it presented to my children as such. Perversion is perversion, no matter how you package it or attempt to present it.

Your claim that school vouchers "undermine" public education is laughable. Nothing has undermined education in this country more than the OBE programs trumpeted by the NEA and similar socialist organizations. Public schools today are nothing more than government-run "indoctrination centers" which brainwash our children with a curriculum of revisionist history, globalist propaganda and pornographic sex education. The ideas of Patriotism and Nationalism are regarded as anachronisms of some bygone era, as is the notion that the family unit should consist of a father, mother and children. Competition between students is discouraged, so as not to "damage" someone's fragile self-esteem. Virtue, modesty and morality? Ideas from the past. Children are being programmed for promiscuity. Rather than stress abstinence as the "birth control" that works every time, our children are given instruction in the use of condoms. Discussions on variations of sexual behavior are becoming common occurrences in even the lower grades. You promote and condone this obscenity, and still feign concern for our children's best interests? How dare you!

There is, of course, a bigger picture. The "dumbing-down" of America, along with the disarmament of its citizens, are essential parts of the ongoing realization of the globalist agenda, the so-called New World Order, in which both you and your husband are not only major promoters, but key players. The result will be the loss of our sovereignty, and the destruction of America as we know it. The implementation of your leftist, socialist policies will only hasten this destruction. As a proud American citizen, I choose not to let that happen.

Therefore, since we share no common values or concerns, I cannot and will not contribute to your campaign, and will "fight my heart out" to see that you and those with similar designs are never elected to public office. Kindly remove my name from your mailing list.

Sincerely,

A Concerned American Mom
