Often, the Transporter and I engage in political discussions, which I so enjoy. Mr. T is an excellent historian, political analyst, and patriot. He is quite rare. I can’t say I know anyone personally, that is as well informed about what is happening, and what has happened, politically in our country. Seriously, I’m talking about a guy, that eats to Rush Limbaugh, and sleeps to C-SPAN.
When it comes to history, allow me to share this brief insight to the Transporter.
I was with him once in a museum, where he discovered an indiscretion in the way a certain piece of history was being presented to the public inaccurately, like way off. Like completely wrong. It happened to be a picture of an American Indian. The museum’s story on the Indian didn’t quite match-up with Mr. T’s understanding of the period.
The Transporter handled his initial doubt with utmost diplomacy and was careful to present his immediate thoughts without offending the museum. The next day, he returned to the museum with published documentation, from his own library, that clarified the indiscretion, and precisely identified the Indian in question, who was from a completely different tribe and region than claimed mistakenly by the museum. The picture had been misrepresented for years. The museum responded by asking Mr. T to speak at the next meeting of their historical society.
You don’t want to play the political, or history edition of Trivial Pursuit with the Transporter, unless you like loosing. I’ve never met anyone like him.
I admire the Transporter for his interest in our country’s future and well being. His vote is educated and accurate. I wish more Americans were as interested.
Sadly, like so many Americans, Mr. T’s vote is his only weapon in the fight for America’s future. I have encouraged him to increase his arsenal and start his own blog to express his ideas and opinions and I hope someday he considers it.
Mr. T is different than most Americans today. He takes an interest in the issues facing America. He forms an opinion based on facts and history and then casts his vote intelligently. He and I share the belief that the uneducated vote is extremely dangerous for America at this critical and turbulent moment in our history. A great example, is the millions of first time female voters that will blindly vote for Hillary Clinton simply because she is a woman without knowing anything else about her.
Now that’s what I call an uneducated vote.
Recently while discussing politics and our concerns for our country’s future, we came to the topic of how hard it is to run for President in this electronic age of the press and how few can withstand the scrutiny and lack of privacy. If you got busted in the second grade playing doctor, it’s going to come out. The press will find out, expose, over analyze, humiliate, judge, exaggerate, and condemn you.
I think many Americans could and would make a difference in American politics, but are afraid.
At this point in the conversation, I pondered out loud, “I wonder if today’s left biased media will expose the hundreds of skeletons in Hillary’s closet.”
“I doubt it.” Mr. T responded.
“Oh come on, it can’t be that bad. You’re telling me, the press will just give a free pass to the most corrupt presidential candidate in American history! I can’t believe it.”
“The story has already been told. It was told long ago and has been mostly ignored by the press.” said Transporter. “Have you ever read a book called, Partners in Power?” 
I had heard of the book and remembered seeing it featured in bookstores years ago, but admitted I hadn’t read it. It was published in 1996 and my interest in politics wasn’t what it is now.
Mr. T was pretty surprised I hadn’t read it and immediately ran off to his extensive library to retrieve it.
Upon his return, he said, “If you want to get to know the real Hillary Clinton, you’ll want to read this.”
As I reached out to receive his gift of knowledge, he tauntingly pulled back the book and opened it. He quickly located and read to me out loud several extraordinary and enlightening highlights from the book before finally passing into my eager hands.
It was late, I was tired, and I have to confess I can’t remember the last time I was read a bedtime story, but this was no normal bedtime story, it was a nightmare. A true story of deceit, theft, sex, drugs, power, and even murder.
The book is 526 pages of well documented history regarding the Clinton’s illicit and unmoral rise to power. 526 pages that must have been edited down from several thousand for practicality, because on any given page you might run across a dozen ethically questionable indiscretions regarding the Clinton’s.
Partners in Power includes exhaustive source notes, bibliography, and an index that is stunning in itself. The book is presented without bias and as historical time line of the Clinton’s political careers from the early days in Arkansas, to the White House.
The author, Roger Morris, is an award winning historical journalist that has worked, and published, in both political camps. His book, Richard Milhous Nixon: The Rise of an American Politician, is herolded by many as the final word on the Nixon presidency.
I sincerely believe that Mr. Morris is able to backup everything he wrote in this book, if he couldn’t, the Clinton’s would have already ruined him with litigation and had the books recalled and destroyed.
I would recommend that every American of voting age read this book regardless of political beliefs. In the near future it will be very important for America to understand the real Hillary Clinton. A woman, that is addicted to wealth and power. A woman that is not acting in the interest of America, but only to satisfy her insatiable desires.
In the months to come, until the election (that’s assuming she will win the Dem ticket) I intend to focus this blog a few of Hillary’s ethical exploits covered in this fantastic book.
