Hillary Clinton was once seen as a radical busybody, clamoring
for this or that absurd invented right, such as the right of
children to sue their parents. Now she is seen as a safe
establishment figure. But the truth is that she hasn’t changed. She
is still a radical scold. Back in the days of the Clinton
presidency she pushed the world to embrace an international right
to abortion. These days her ambition is to impose upon all the
nations of the earth “LGBT” rights.
Bill Clinton’s State Department was famous for its
Christmas trees adorned with condoms as ornaments. Hillary’s State
Department is even more radical; it seeks to turn the world
into San Francisco.
In an address
earlier this week in Geneva, Hillary announced that the imposition
of the gay agenda on foreign governments now forms “a priority of
our foreign policy.” It is not enough for the Obama administration
to corrupt America; it has to corrupt the whole world too. Hillary
has instructed diplomats to stir up trouble abroad as de facto
gay rights activists.
“In our embassies, our diplomats are raising concerns
about specific cases and laws, and working with a range of partners
to strengthen human rights protections for all,” she said. “In
Washington, we have created a task force at the State Department to
support and coordinate this work. And in the coming months, we will
provide every embassy with a toolkit to help improve their efforts.
And we have created a program that offers emergency support to
defenders of human rights for LGBT people.”
The American taxpayer will also have to pay for a gay
rights propaganda fund Hillary has set up: “I am also pleased to
announce that we are launching a new Global Equality Fund that will
support the work of civil society organizations working on these
issues around the world. This fund will help them record facts so
they can target their advocacy, learn how to use the law as a tool,
manage their budgets, train their staffs, and forge partnerships
with women’s organizations and other human rights groups. We have
committed more than $3 million to start this fund, and we have hope
that others will join us in supporting it.”
Thus will the State Department make the world safe for
sex-change operations and gay marriage. In laying out the case for
inalienable “LGBT” rights that transcend and therefore bind all
governments, Hillary made no mention of God as the source of
rights. She cryptically said that governments don’t grant rights,
but she didn’t specify their origin, sensing that it was best to
leave God out of it. Where, then, do these “LGBT” rights come from?
They come from the same place where she discovered an international
right to abortion, namely, her own will. For Hillary the source of
rights is not God but the superior wisdom of an international elite
whose members see themselves as gods.
An administration that came to power calling George
W. Bush a bully who sought to impose Western ideology on
foreign countries feels entitled to behave imperialistically on
this issue. What is Hillary’s campaign but an attempt to bully
non-Western countries into accepting Western ways? In her Geneva
remarks, she singled out countries that see homosexuality as sinful
for a browbeating. She scolded them for regarding it as a “Western
phenomenon”:
The second issue is a question of whether homosexuality
arises from a particular part of the world. Some seem to believe it
is a Western phenomenon, and therefore people outside the West have
grounds to reject it. Well, in reality, gay people are born into
and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all
races, all faiths; they are doctors and teachers, farmers and
bankers, soldiers and athletes; and whether we know it, or whether
we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends, and our
neighbors.
Being gay is not a Western invention; it is a human
reality. And protecting the human rights of all people, gay or
straight, is not something that only Western governments
do…
Hillary made no mention of the fact that Islamic countries like
Saudi Arabia throw homosexuals into jail. How her campaign will
square with Obama’s warm and harmonious relationship with the
Islamic world isn’t clear. He prides himself on saying
that America is not and never will be at “war with Islam.” That may
change if Hillary is serious about her crusade. The scars on her
back from the 1994 UN conference at Cairo, where she
touted an international right to abortion, have apparently healed
and she is ready to push bogus new ones.
