CNN.com - Sen. Clinton apologizes to Chelsea for work comment - May 15, 2006
Remember when Hillary Clinton mocked the stay-at-home moms, who in her words, stayed home and baked cookies all day? Remember when Hillary Clinton shot a snipe a First Lady Laura Bush, questioning of the former librarian had ever held a real job? Now, Hillary Clinton, who appears to be gearing up for a run at the 2008 Presidency, has taken a pot shot at young people, by claiming that they believe that "work" is a four letter word and eliciting the rebuff of her own six figure salary earning daughter.
What this trend of insults reveals is a classic lack of appreciation for diversity. In addressing the latter episode, behaviorists have documented the differences between generations for quite some time now. Starting with Generation X and proceeding with the generations that follow, an increasing trend of rejecting a workaholic mentality that abandons family life and other values like faith has emerged. Instead, grown children of unchurched families now occupy seats in places of worship and an increasing amount of younger women have rejected the feminist lie that a validated woman has to pursue a career outside of the home and have opted to enjoy the differences of their femininity by staying at home with their children. Position, status, money, and power do not entice the younger generations like they enticed the generation of Mrs. Clinton. The reasons for this rejection vary: growing up in broken homes absent, uninvolved parents, the emptiness of a life without values imparted through faith, just to name a few.
Unfortunetely for liberal America, their heroine, Mrs. Clinton, has her ideals stuck in the feminist era of the 70's and has failed to represent the "progressive thinking" that has been by the touted by Democrats for years. This type of thinking demonstrates that liberals are to really as inclusive or tolerant as they would like us to believe.
