Hillary Clinton too conservative for liberals and too liberal for conservatives?
Hillary Clinton keeps speaking and giving hints that she intends to run for the presidency of the USA. While she has not been the preference for most conservatives (for many reasons including her support for abortion, government regulations, and the LGBT agenda), some liberals are concerned she is too corporate and/or too conservative.
Some opposition to her seems to be rising up within the Democratic party (or which she is a member):
Liberals Seek Alternative to Hillary Clinton
KEENE, N.H.—Searching for an alternative to Hillary Clinton for 2016, some Democratic donors are meeting with potential challengers. Liberal activists are trying to coax Sen. Elizabeth Warren into running. Politicians not named Hillary Clinton are testing their appeal in New Hampshire and Iowa.
As formidable as Mrs. Clinton looks even before declaring herself a candidate, liberals are casting about for a committed populist to run against her in 2016. They see the former secretary of state and senator as too closely aligned with large corporations and question whether she can be counted on to narrow the income gap in America.
They hope to either recruit a candidate able to capture the nomination outright or at least give Mrs. Clinton enough of a scare that she embraces progressive policy goals. …
Mrs. Clinton and her husband have raised about $1 billion from U.S. companies and industry donors in support of various policy and political goals over the past two decades, a Wall Street Journal analysis has shown. As president, Bill Clinton signed into law a measure that deregulated parts of Wall Street, which critics say contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. http://online.wsj.com/articles/liberals-seek-alternative-to-hillary-clinton-1414193312

Elections in the United States are approaching and Hillary Clinton, former United States Secretary of State, is already looking at 2016. While shifting leftward, she has grabbed a line of thought that President Barack Obama used in election of 2012. She is embracing the ‘You didn’t build that’ line…
Clinton said, “Don’t let anybody tell you its corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly”. …
Now, voters will see if Clinton tries to compete with Elizabeth Warren, who is the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts. In 2012, while running for senate, Elizabeth had suggested that no business deserves full credit for its founding. According to her, government of a country plays a vital role in every private-sector birth.President Barack Obama had used the line ‘You didn’t build that’ in 2012 elections. The line became so famous that it had tripled Obama’s campaign up briefly in mid-2012. Later the president apologized for the ‘syntax’ of that remark.
According to some political pundits, Elizabeth Warren should run for president. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton is also eyeing a run for president. http://uncovermichigan.com/content/21608-hillary-clinton-grabs-line-thought-barack-obama-used-2012-election
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took yet another subtle step toward the White House in 2016 by swiping at the very thing those in the progressive camp of her party accuse her of cozying up to — Wall Street.
At a campaign stop in Minnesota for Sen. Al Franken, Mrs. Clinton called for better oversight of banks, The Hill reported. She also roped herself in to the group of leading politicos who have been calling for stricter regulation of Wall Street — an apparent public response to those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren ilk who say the former first lady is just too pro-business to properly represent the Democratic Party in 2016. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/24/hillary-clinton-shifts-to-shed-pro-wall-street-rep/#ixzz3HAUW8ZnE
The idea that corporations and businesses do not create jobs is a bizarre one. Of course, one could argue that consumer demand motivates corporations and businesses to employ people and it is ‘demand’ that creates jobs. Yet, when companies are shackled by too much government control, they employ less people to try to fulfill demand.
Elizabeth Warren and/or Hillary Clinton may run to be USA president.
Is it time for a woman to be the top official for the USA?
The Bible makes the following statement:
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
The promotion of the homosexual agenda by Elizabeth Warren (Elizabeth Warren pledges to lead on LGBT rights) and Hillary Clinton (one of her four stated priorities as USA Secretary of State on page 27 of her Hard Choices book) is certainly consistent with the prophecy that “Those who lead you cause you to err.”
The four predominantly British descended nations (the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) all have had not only queens (they shared the same ones), but all have already had a woman in the office of prime minister. The prime minister is the chief executive official in a parliamentary system of governance. Since Ephraim (United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) was to rise before Manasseh (the USA), various events that affected it first would also be expected to affect the USA later (cf. Genesis 48).
For one historical point to mention, in recent centuries it was the British pound sterling that became the world’s trading and reserve currency. Then later, it was replaced by the USA dollar. But also like the pound sterling lost its role (it accounts for about 4% of global reserves per Wikipedia, viewed 10/25/14), the USA dollar will not retain its position as the world’s primary reserve currency indefinitely–it too will be replaced. This does not mean that the USA has to follow the British when it comes to having a female top leader, but it may very well be.
That being said, irrespective of who becomes the next USA president, that person, whether ‘liberal’ or ‘conservative’ will not resolve the real issues facing the USA. Short of national repentance the time will come when the USA is destroyed (Daniel 11:39; Habakkuk 2:6-8), and its people will not get true resolution of their needs until Jesus returns and sets up the Kingdom of God.
