Just Not Hillary

Hillary Clinton can't be the first female president; here's why

I am proud to be a woman. One might even call me a feminist. I have always been an advocate for women's rights and I am a strong believer that everyone (not just men and women) should be viewed as equals. The rise of feminism has been exponential in the last few years and although most feminists are sane, there are the radicals. They have been given the name feminazis and tend to be over-the-top when it comes to pretty much everything and seem to want women to be better than men, which is not the point at all.

With Hillary Clinton running in this year's presidential election, the line between feminists and feminazis is becoming more distinct. A feminazi will vote for Hillary because she is a woman, which somehow qualifies her to be president over any man.

ATTENTION: if you are voting for Hillary simply because she is a woman, you are no better than the people who voted for Obama simply because he is black.

In saying this, I am not saying in any way that being a woman makes Hillary any less qualified in the same way that being black didn't make Obama any less qualified. The main thing I am saying is that people should make a more educated vote than deciding by sex, ethnicity or political party.

This being said, I would be incredibly and undoubtedly disappointed if Hillary Clinton were to be the first woman president. To start things off, she is a liar. If you watch the news at all, you know that Hillary lied about the killing of four Americans in Benghazi, saying that the attacks were spontaneous even though she knew they were planned terrorist attacks.

Worse than that, she is a criminal. She committed treason by sharing private information. According to law, all letters and emails sent or received by federal officials are considered government property. She blatantly broke the law, yet instead of a crime, it's considered a "scandal." Instead of owning up to what she did and taking the fall like a decent human being, she denied it ever happening and got away with it.

Looking back to the time of the Clinton-Gore campaign, we can't forget about Chinagate and the bribes that were taken to help siphon funds into the DNC. Or how about the missing record of Hillary firing seven employees from the United States travel office and replacing them with people from Arkansas? Or my personal favorite, the fact that they shipped furniture from the White House to their personal home and claimed it was donated. Hillary has been a part of so many "scandals" she probably can't even count how many.

Regardless of Hillary's sex, ethnic background or whatever else you want to judge people on, she is an awful candidate. If you were to describe Hillary with all of her "scandals" to someone without a name or a face, that person would probably call you an idiot for thinking that kind of person can run our country.

This is not a pro-Trump article. It is just an article saying that Hillary Clinton should not be our president and should not be remembered as our first female president. I believe if we are going to put a woman in the oval office, she should be strong and powerful, honest and a good person. There are plenty of female figures who can be looked up to and admired. I think our first female president should be a woman who young girls can look up to. Electing Hillary is not a step forward in the feminist movement; it's two steps back.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
