I don’t know about you, but I have had just about all I can stand of conservative talk show hosts and various Republican and conservative politicians and commentators going after Hillary like a Doberman going for a juicy steak on the issue of her apparent quid pro quo with sending American uranium to various and sundry hostile foreign nations in exchange for financial contributions to her “charities”.

Every time a particle of evidence of her sale of our national security for her financial security shifts to the surface, these airheads scramble for the microphone, eager to reveal to us that - NEWS FLASH! - the Clintons are crooks!  Thank you so much, Captain Obvious.  Reams of manuscript are going through on one radio broadcast after another.  Pundits on Fox News chew this over as the endless ribbon of “breaking news” rolls under their faces.  My question is this:  “Who cares?” - or, to put it in the former First Lady’s own words, “What difference, at this point, does it MAKE?!”

THis is not to say that Mrs. Clinton is in any way morally fit nor responsible enough to govern or in any other way to serve the people of the United States. It is merely to say that the monetary benefit accruing to the Clintons is of no real importance - it is irrelevant.  What is important to America is that on her watch, hostile foreign nations wound up with some 20% of America’s invaluable supply of uranium.  This is a vital element in our national security.  It’s not that we don’t have enough left to make a bomb.  It is that other nations, far less concerned with the world’s survival than we, now have the means to destroy us, their neighbors, and life as we know it in general, and they didn’t have to have this capability.  That Mrs. Clinton arranged it should rule her out not only as a political candidate, but as a free person at large.

Mrs. Clinton is by definition a traitor to our country.  We don’t pause long to weigh the motives of Benedict Arnold in condemning his act of treachery.  In his case, one could perhaps seek to justify it in that he committed it during a revolution, where some citizens believed themselves to be patriotic in their loyalty to their mother country, England.  The Revolution enjoyed the actual support of only some one-third of American colonists.  There should be no cause for such divided loyalties in today’s world.  Yet, by stealth, Mrs. Clinton effected this transfer of dangerous resources to hostiles.  Benedict Arnold’s act at least did not threaten the safety of the whole world.

Should we care whether she did it for money or because she is working for the ultimate downfall of our republic, or just because she is moronically incompetent?  Maybe Churchill would have put it thusly, as he did to Lady Astor:  “We’ve already established what you are.  Now we are just talking about price.”

What if Mrs. Clinton manages to convince the traditionally fair-minded American people that she did not profit from this act.  Is it okay then?  Because this is the implication of these talk-show Sherlocks, all frothing in their desire to prove she made money on the deal.  If she did all this damage and still managed to remain “dead broke”, as she puts it, are we any the better for that?  What these talk show hosts are risking in focusing on the Clintons’ motivation is that they are obscuring the truly relevant fact:  our enemies have our uranium.  And they didn’t before Hillary arranged for it.  

We could put it this way - the possibility that she took money on the deal is the irrelevant, shiny object which is meant to distract us from the real issues:  she oversaw the transfer of vital resources to another nation or nations, a very dangerous situation likely to result in serious harm to our own nation.  

It seems with these putzes running the discussion, all Hillary needs to do is give the majority of voters sufficient doubt and ambiguity as to why she did it that they will forget that she did it.  These talk show experts could be doing her a big favor by distracting listeners from the thing that matters - Putin now has our uranium.  And that’s all that really matters.
