Feel the Bern! Because as Prince sang, "And together we'll love through all space and time!"

(D)ude: Man! Hillary Rodham Clinton is not “with an intellect and a savior-faire” as the dearly departed Prince wrote in his 1992 hit song “Seven” and I have become even more convinced and certain about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s lack of “intellect and savior-faire” reading Lillian Faderman’s book entitled The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle.

(M)an: Dude! Savior-faire? In other words, Hillary Rodham Clinton is lacking in the ability to act or speak appropriately in social situations? I disagree. I believe Hillary Rodham Clinton to have taken millions from Charles Koch and his brother David Koch behind closed doors. Hollywood’s George Clooney and Harvey Weinstein need to understand that their hard-earned money is mixing with money from the Koch Machines as well. Having taken money from the Koch Machines underhandedly, Hillary Clinton has compromised her ethics and courage. This is why thousands of people attend Bernie Sanders’ campaign events, because Bernie Sanders hasn’t sold his ethics and courage to the Koch Machines.

D: Man! Lillian Faderman’s book highlights the treacherous schemes of President Clinton to always feign his own unwillingness for progressive policies as an inability to confront the congressional Republicans who pursued “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” which President Clinton signed into law. And let’s not forget the “Defense of Marriage Act” or DOMA either! Chapters 26 and 31 in Faderman’s meticulously researched history of how much the LGBTQ community across the United States was shortchanged time and time again, are compelling cases of how much President Bill Clinton legislatively favored the congressional Republicans’ agendas over those of the congressional Democrats.     

M: Dude! President Bill Clinton’s going to be President Hillary Clinton’s top emissary!

D: Man! A member of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s team of campaign spokespeople and aides actually cursed presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders in the media, specifically saying the following while requesting and being bequeathed anonymity by Politico:

“We kicked ass tonight. I hope this convinces Bernie to tone it down. If not, fuck him.”

M: Dude! Where’s the apology from Hillary Rodham Clinton? Clearly, the media has a blackout policy regarding Bernie Sanders’ campaign events. On the other hand, you’ve got everyday people around the United States waging a war on Twitter for continuing support for Bernie Sanders through the contemptible media blackout favoring Hillary Rodham Clinton as the implicit presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. Plus, Bernie Sanders openly apologizes for people that the Clinton Campaign places stealthily at his events to make obscene comments and gestures, so that Clinton and Team Hillary can go after the presidential contender Sanders and Team Bernie for being aggressive and arrogant and awful campaigners waging what could be the fall of the Democratic Party come Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Hillary Rodham Clinton is going to blame Sanders for losing the presidential election, because she wants to see the Republican Party wipe out the federal government in a second great recession with perks for the one-tenth of the one percent of which she is a part, let us not forget!       

D: Man! This is what Lillian Faderman has to say about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” on page 504,

President Clinton—having suffered the disaster of the Armed Services Committee hearings, and being worn out by the struggle over gays that kept him from turning his attention to the mounting budget deficit and the growing welfare rolls—wanted the astounding flap to be over, even at the cost of making a compromise with bigotry. He accepted Moskos’s proposed policy. The Pentagon in turn accepted a change in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Service members with a homosexual identity wouldn’t be kicked out—as long as they didn’t talk about it or get caught acting (or seeking to act) on it, on or off base.

The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy went into effect on July 19, 1993. Clinton declared it to be “an honorable compromise.” The consummate politician, he touted his failed effort as though it were a triumph, announcing, “This is an end to the witch hunts that spend millions of taxpayer dollars to ferret out individuals who have served their country well.” That particular sop was for gays and lesbians and their supporters. Speaking about the new policy to high-ranking officers at the National Defense University in DC, he adopted the military leaders’ usual rhetoric about the dangers of open homosexuality, which he said Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell would prevent. “We must and will protect unit cohesion and troop morale,” President Clinton emphasized.

Fourteen months earlier, David Mixner had listened, with happy tears in his eyes, as the presidential candidate told the gays and lesbians gathered at the Hollywood Palace, “I have a vision for the future, and you’re a part of it.” Now, soon after Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell became official policy, Mixner and about twenty other people who’d been at the Clinton fund-raiser chained themselves to the White House fence in protest. They were carted off to jail by the DC Park Police.  

M: Dude! No wonder everyday Americans are standing up for Bernie and refusing to accept Hillary Rodham Clinton! The American people are not going to allow US to travel backwards as Hillary Clinton willingly makes compromises with the bigotry of congressional Republicans and her emissary Bill Clinton in order to reverse the strides of the Obama Administration with Republican ideals that the Koch Machines want to enforce for their personal wealth advantages, as do the Clintons, let’s not forget! Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign finances need to be audited by Clooney, Weinstein, and all her donors in order to get to the bottom of whether or not she is pouring hard-earned money into the Koch Machines.

D: Man! This is what happened with the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA, on page 588, according to Lillian Faderman,

Senator Bob Dole, who’d hoped to snatch the presidential election from Bill Clinton, saw an irresistible wedge issue. He got Georgia Republican Bob Barr (thrice married) to introduce a “Defense of Marriage Act” in the US House… Barr’s bill said that no state had to recognize the a same-sex marriage performed in another state; that the federal government’s definition of marriage was “a union between one man and one woman”; and that that definition would determine the meaning of any federal law or regulation related to marriage. It passed the House in July, 342 to 67. The House Report explained the Defense of Marriage Act was needed, “to reflect and honor a collective moral judgment about human sexuality [which] entails moral disapproval of homosexuality.” In September DOMA passed the Senate, 85 to 14…

To his credit, President Clinton never wavered in his support of Achtenberg, and she was confirmed. That same year too, he hired Richard Socarides—the openly gay son of the infamous antigay psychiatrist Charles Socarides—to be a White House Advisor. Clinton also put a lesbian, Marsha Scott, into the groundbreaking role as the White House liaison to the gay and lesbian community. But his advisors told him he could only go so far if he hoped to be reelected for a second term. The Senate had passed the Defense of Marriage Act in September, two months before voters were to go to the polls; the bill came to Clinton’s desk to sign or veto. After weighing the possible cost of not signing DOMA—almost three-fourths of Americans said they were opposed to same-sex marriage—he signed. Bill Clinton, avowed champion of gay people, had virtually killed the same-sex marriage movement.

M: Dude! That’s clearly what happens when you accept a drink with any of the pertinacious punks in power!
