There's been much flack lately over the Hillary Clinton tipping debacle. Even columnists are making hay over the former first lady's faux-pas. In the opinion of John Lott, he ascribes the oversight to happenstance and attributes the backpedaling to issues of honesty. Though I don't disagree with him, and observe that Hillary is "truth challenged", In my opinion, he's being far too kind.
No, it has more to do with far more than that. It has to do with the fundamental paradigm of liberalism, and in Ms. Clinton, it's reached its zenith. Megalomania and entitlement run amok. The kind of entitlement mentality, for example, that might cause one ransack items from the White House like a thief in the night. Closet royalism, in other words. The pattern surely fits. You see, in Hillary's eyes, we're all just "little people" who exist to serve her, and those like her. They believe they're simply deigned by providence to rule over us; it's their destiny, after all, because they're all just so much smarter and more worthy than we. The subtext from this week's tipping fiasco is simple. In the view of Hillary Clinton and those like her, the diner waitress should feel priviledged to have had the opportunity to have celebrity at her table. I have no doubt that the banter in the limousine as they departed was that they should have had the waitress pay THEM for the opportunity to serve Madame Defarge in the first place. Make no mistake about it, folks. In the mind of Hillary Clinton, we should all just eat cake. |
