From Park Ridge to Washington: The youth minister who mentored Hillary Clinton

Washington (CNN) - In the spring of 1962, Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most controversial men in America. One night in Chicago's Orchestra Hall after delivering a stirring speech on civil rights and the future of America, he shook hands with a standout 15-year-old with conservative parents, Hillary Rodham.

More than 50 years later, the moment still resonates profoundly with Clinton, who has had an illustrious political career and could again seek to make history as the first woman president.

    Hillary would be a disastrous choice for President.

    However, CNN is a propagandist network for the Democratic Party, so of course they are going to push Hillary as the candidate of choice, every single day.........that's what propagandists do.

    Seeing how most every top Republican looking to run in 2016 blindly jumped onto Craven Bundy's bandwagon, I think Hillary would still make the better choices as POTUS. All of those Republicans made fools of themelves, and still are by not condemning the fact that the man is a scofflaw who decided to stop paying his bills in 1993.

    Anyone could have seen the handwriting on the wall if they had bothered to look. The man claims himself to be a "patriot" and proudly displays the flag of the government the he claims he doesn't recognize. Hypocrisy to the extreme.
