"They All Look Alike..."

I like to think that I'm not a prude; I also like to think that I'm not politically correct.  In fact, I abhor political correctness.

Also, I rather enjoy racial humor because in racial humor we identify stereotypes, and, as such, we can enjoy and celebrate our differences.  One of the things I enjoy the most is seeing a black or Asian or Hispanic comedian imitating a white guy because they always play on white stereotypes.

I say these things to say this: I'm about to complain about someone using racial stereotypes in a humorous way.

As much as I love stereotypes as a source of humor, I cannot abide hypocrisy.

This week, our beloved former First Lady, Hillary Clinton, said something that would be grounds for impeachment if any Republican said it.

Watch for yourself:

"They All Look Alike..."

In fact, I actually think this was pretty funny, something that Hillary generally is not.  She is usually scripted and robotic, not even remotely funny.  But here, in a rare glimpse of her real self, she shows spontaneous humor. 

Good for her.

But she also shows something else: Her hypocrisy.

Not only that, but the hypocrisy of her audience because you can be sure that if Brother Trump had said something like this it would be an excuse for impeachment or a riot or virtually anything that crossed the mind of an American leftist.

It seems to a simple boy like me that we are obliged to be responsible in our daily lives for the beliefs that we have chosen to espouse.  When we fail to do so, we must necessarily pay a penalty.

All of us, at one time or another has broken the faith of our own convictions, for that is what it means to be a fallen human.  And we have all paid a price for that fecklessness.  No human who has an ethical standard above that of a bowling ball complains in his heart about this price.

That's why I think that this quip from Hillary is so jarring: she has broken both her own stated ethical position and that of her followers.

She hasn't broken my standard of ethics; she has broken her own.

And, yet, she's celebrated by her peeps for doing so.

That's what makes it disgusting.

Besides, they don't look alike:

Eric Holder

Cory Booker

Vote next week.
