Hillary saved “Mother” and “Father”

"Clinton documents released by the State Department on Wednesday shows the then-secretary of state exploding at her staff over plans to replace “Mother” and “Father” with “Parent One” and “Parent Two” on passport application forms, complaining about the decision and refusing to defend it in the face of partisan opposition."
Clinton learned about the change through a January 7, 2011 article in The Washington Post. But the policy shift was first announced in a December 2010 press release from the State Department. “These improvements are being made to provide a gender-neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families,” the statement read.
The next day, Clinton sent an early-morning e-mail excoriating top aides Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan for the secretive policy shift. “I’m not defending that decision, which I disagree w and knew nothing about, in front of this Congress,” she wrote. “I could live w letting people in nontraditional families choose another descriptor so long as we retained the presumption of mother and father. We need to address this today or we will be facing a huge Fox-generated media storm led by [Sarah] Palin et al.”

Oh wow, jeez, thank you so much Madam Harpy for stepping up to the plate to cast aside the political correctness that infested the state department. Oh wait.

It is funny how she fears Sarah Palin.

What is strange is Sarah Palin is not particular opposed to same sex issues. Sarah Palin focuses more on right to life and general conservative and defense issues. They seem so into dragging opponents into culture war issues like this.

If this woman is the next POTUS, the national fun factor will be zero. Maybe minus a couple.
