Diane Kroeze: Attack on Hillary feels like attack on all women

Have you noticed Congress has become a group of gravediggers? They are hoping for a few dirty bones they can explode into a major issue. Benghazi is certainly one they have beaten to an inch of its life. They just keep digging the same dirt over and over.

They’re so focused on running the President into the ground with lies and trying to make sure Hillary Clinton is proven a liar, thief and something just short of a terrorist before the 2016 election, that it’s a wonder they have time to eat and sleep. They certainly aren’t doing their duties as members of Congress. Do they think of us at all? Fanatics and money seem to go well together.

Watching all this happen is like stepping back in time when people would say: “That uppity woman (Hillary) and black man (President Obama) should be taught a lesson; with enough money, we can do it.”

Is this any way for a U.S. Congress to act? Evidently we are not as civilized, non-racial thinking or as accepting of women as we thought. Do we really have to start over again?

Diane Kroeze, Modesto
