HOUSTON: Some thoughts in defending Hillary Clinton after the election

HOUSTON: Some thoughts in defending Hillary Clinton after the election

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | Let’s start this by defending Mrs. Clinton a bit. Her year to run for president was 2008. She was younger and prettier, less caustic and healthier. Her record as New York senator was positive. She didn’t have the baggage that serving as secretary of state brought her. The Dems decided they didn’t want her so they threw her out like old bathwater. Not unlike the way they threw out Bernie Sanders this time.

HOUSTON: Defends Trump by saying women talk dirty, too

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | It’s my firm belief that the Left created political correctness to censor the language of those who disagree with them. This is serious. We’re talking First Amendment here.

So Donald Trump spoke in colorful language within the context of what he thought was private conversation 11 years ago. Are we women so delicate and easily offended that we’d disqualify him for president over locker room talk?

HOUSTON: Continues conversation concerning whether Mrs. Clinton is progressive

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | I’d like to respond to the thoughtful column written by Hoyt Tuggle on September 16. He disagreed with my article of September 9 concerning progressivism, especially my point that Hillary Clinton is a progressive.

TUGGLE: Progressivism and checking beyond the edges in the Trump arena

TUGGLE: Progressivism and checking beyond the edges in the Trump arena

By Hoyt Tuggle | This is in response to Debra Houston. It is history and the current political situation from a different perspective.

Progressivism has been a significant component of the Democratic Party since Woodrow Wilson. This division within the Democratic Party has been pretty much an ongoing battle except for the FDR years. In modern times it surfaced between Jimmy Carter and the Democratic establishment. It accounted for as much of his failures as did anything.

HOUSTON: Figuring out who to vote for this time is trying

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | All right, already. I got the message! Since I wrote that I might not vote in the presidential election because we have less than stellar candidates, my friends have gently reprimanded me. My friend “D” says, “It is your civic duty to vote.”
