I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do not plan to get to them until after the general election in November.
I do plan to discuss Iraq before the election. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I received two more comments in relation to the series “selling beer and wine in Morton.” I was going to finish that series with tonight’s post and take the rest of the weekend off because of the holiday. However, my first post of the election series will be tonight because of a column that was in the paper Friday. It fit in perfectly with my first post so, I think, it is best to do it now. (I think I am finished with the beer and wine series until next year when the Village election is to occur. Sorry. However, I enjoyed doing the series.)
The follow is a newspaper column by Kathleen Parker printed in the Peoria Journal Star on 8/29/08, page A4. I am quoting it in its entirety.
“Don’t count out the Clintons
The night was praised as a merging of the seas, as Bill and Hillary Clinton led their party in a healing ritual of unity by anointing The One. And the Democrats did heal themselves.
And Bill Clinton did pass the baton to Barack Obama. And Hillary Rodham and her staff did comfort the disappointed. And the people hugged. And the people wept. And then both men texted their wives with the same message: ‘Smile, mama, it’s almost over.’ And Michelle and Hillary did smile.
But is it over? Is the pope pro-choice?
Whatever the Clintons say or do, it is never—ever—for the benefit only of someone else. And it is never over. When it comes to politics, the Clintons are twinnier than the Twin Cities where Republicans will gather next week. For their entire marriage, the two have acted as one organism, both aimed at a common goal: Survival of the Clintons.
Their performances at the Democratic convention, no matter how polished, can’t suddenly be viewed outside the prism of that knowledge and our nation’s experience. They are nothing if not professional pols, and both surpassed themselves.
But beneath that sea of tranquility and brotherly love being projected from Denver is a roiling mistrust. The Obamas don’t trust the Clintons, and they shouldn’t. The Clintons haven’t really surrendered, and they won’t. History tells us as much.
Watching Michelle Obama as the cameras panned her face during the former president’s speech was to be reminded of that history. It was irresistible to wonder what she was thinking. At times unsmiling and barely clapping, she seemed unable to muster her political face. It must have been supremely difficult for her to sit and watch as the convention hall welcomed Bill Clinton by exploding into prolonged applause.
But it was like old times for the former president, swaddled in adoration, marinating in the musk of his minions. Oh, the rapture, the bask. So much flesh.
For his part, Clinton did what he has spent a lifetime doing: trying to make everyone love him. All the chatter about his statesmanlike qualities in bridging the divide and healing the wounds is the punch talking. What else was he going to do? Minimize Obama’s nomination by comparing him to Jesse Jackson, as he did after the South Carolina primary? No, he’s more clever than that. Instead, he praised Obama’s opponent, John McCain, reminding all those disenfranchised women that they still have a choice.
‘The Republicans in a few days will nominate a good man who has served our country heroically and who suffered terribly in a Vietnamese prison camp,’ Clinton said Wednesday night. ‘He loves his country every bit as much as we do. As a senator, he has shown his independence of right-wing orthodoxy on some very important issues.’
But of course, Clinton supports Obama.
A few days earlier at the National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, Clinton praised McCain’s energy policy. ‘Obviously, I favor Senator Obama’s energy positions, and Democrats have been by and large the more forward-leaning actors,’ Clinton said. ‘But John McCain has the best record of any Republican running for president on the energy issue and on climate change. I’m very encouraged about where the presidential rhetoric is in this campaign.’
Really?
Hillary, too, played her necessary role as unifier. She gave a great speech. And, yes, she moved to suspend the roll call of states and nominate Obama by acclamation. But what else was she going to do? Remind Democrats that Obama isn’t ready to take that 3 a.m. call?
Patience is a virtue of age, they say, and the Clintons have learned to wait. If they can survive adultery, public humiliation and impeachment while in the White House, they can muddle through a little setback like Obama’s nomination.
Obama is special, to be sure. He is unique. He is often inspiring. He also can lose. If he does, Hillary will be ready on Day One. That is, Nov. 5, 2008. By the Clinton calendar, 2012 is just around the corner.”
Now consider this segment from the book The Truth about Hillary by Edward Klein from chapter seven—“The Great Debate”—pages 53-54.”
“When she was sixteen years old, Hillary Rodham composed a bitter letter to her church’s youth minister, the Reverend Don Jones.
She had just been defeated for president of the senior class at Maine South High School. As she described it in the letter, she had lost as a result of ‘dirty campaigning’ by chauvinist opponents who were ‘slinging mud’ at her.
‘We did not retaliate,’ she wrote the Reverend Jones, using the royal ‘we.’ ‘We took the high road and talked about motherhood and apple pie.’
Four decades later, in her memoir Living History, Hillary recalled that moment. Still as bitter as ever, she accused one of her Maine South High School opponents of saying that ‘I was really stupid if I thought a girl could be elected president.’
Timothy Sheldon, the boy who defeated Hillary, and who was now an Illinois circuit court judge, had a far different memory of events.
‘It’s incredible that it still rankles her after all these years,’ he said in an interview for this book. ‘There was nothing to sling mud about, because there were no issues, no debate.
‘The so-called race was just a popularity contest,’ he went on. ‘Normally, boys ran for president and girls for secretary. Rightly or wrongly, that was just the way it was done in those days. I remember it vividly: it was the first time a girl had run for student council president. The reason I won was I was the star running back on the football team. It was as simple as that.’
But it wasn’t that simple for Hillary.
‘The reason Hillary still makes excuses for her loss, suggesting dirty tricks were somehow played, is that she had then—and apparently continues to have—a sense of infallibility,’ said a former member of the Maine South student council. ‘It is not possible that she could have lost even a high school election simply because she was not the most popular candidate. She was bitter and furious at the loss back then, and even in her own mind probably has convinced herself there was chicanery.’”
Hillary Clinton was ahead in the public opinion polls before the primary elections began and was suppose to have had a cakewalk to the Presidential nomination. If the above account is true, how much more is her disdain because of her loss in the most important electoral contest of her life? Might she not try to sabotage Barack Obama’s campaign in key States where a few percentage points might determine whether or not he wins that State?
The Clintons do understand politics. This election was the most likely election for her to win the nomination and win the Presidency. The farther away from her husband’s Presidency, the less likely it is she will be able to win the nomination and the Presidency as new leaders develop and become part of the equation.
Since the first Presidential election after World War II—the 1948 election—no political party has controlled the Presidency for more than 12 years and 12 years was achieved only once. The sequence runs as follows:
1) Democrats—1949-1952
2) Republicans—1953-1960
3) Democrats—1961-1968
4) Republicans—1969-1976
5) Democrats—1977-1980 (This was the Carter Presidency and is the only time that a party was only able to hold on to the Presidency for four years considering that Truman held the Presidency for almost 8 years after the death of FDR—1945-1952.)
6) Republicans—1981-1992 (This is the only twelve year sequence in the recurring cycle—in actuality, taking the second term of the Carter cycle.)
7) Democrats—1993-2000
8) Republicans—2001-2008
If this cycle holds true, the Democrats are destined to win the Presidency. If that happens, unless the Obama Presidency is a total disaster even to Democrats, he would be re-nominated. Hillary Clinton is now 60 years-of-age and would be 68 before her next realistic opportunity to seek the nomination. She would be 68 and 16 years removed from her husband’s Presidency. Also, according to the cycle, it would be likely that even if nominated, she would lose to the Republican candidate.
Rest assured, the Clintons know this. Their best hope was to win the nomination this year. Their second best hope is: Barack Obama loses to John McCain and Hillary receives the nomination in 2012 that was “stolen” from her in 2008. Her battle cry: “I would have won the Presidency. Don’t make the same mistake twice.” In 2012, John McCain would be 76 and, as said before, since 1948, no party has controlled the Presidency for more than 12 years when an incumbent lost to a CLINTON. Rest assured, the Clintons know this.
Do you think Bill and Hillary want Barack Obama to win in 2008? What will they do?

Just as I expected your not going to discuss my comment about hypocrisy. It seems 90% of the people on your own blog spot disagree with you on the issue of selling wine and beer in Morton. So how would you vote if you were a village board member? Would you vote for what the people want or what you want? Writing letters to the editor is actually the least you can do. Why don't you run for village board? I think we both know why. No votes.
