Tea at Trianon: Hillary and the Unborn

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Hillary and the Unborn

I hope that all people of good will are beginning to see how morally bankrupt Hillary Clinton is. From Lifezette:

Aside from all the scandals, apart from all the repeated lies, Hillary Clinton is a woman, a mother and a grandmother. She plays the roles that millions of other women will never fulfill — due in large part to her own efforts over the decades to enhance and expand the access to abortion.

Here we are, about a year after the horrific brutality of the abortion industry was revealed by intrepid reporters at the Center for Medical Progress, and … no one cares. For the better part of this past year, actually, those reporters have had to defend themselves in court against a politically-driven prosecution launched by an assistant district attorney who happens to serve on the board of directors of the Planned Parenthood Chapter featured on several videos.
