Hang on in there Hill

Came across this brilliant posting in another blog:
Hillary should just give up!!!!!

Ain’t it funny, how often we hear of late, that Senator Clinton should “give up”? When I hear the news professionals make these comments, or read them in my newspaper or within the blogs, I wonder if they would adopt that same way of thinking in their own lives? History does not support the concept of “giving up”. If it did, we’d live in a very different world. For example:

1.) “Hey George”: We’ve lost many battles. Our army is tired and weary. Let’s forget this idea of crossing the Delaware and just go home.

2.) “Hey Thomas”: You’ve failed over 5000 times to invent this light bulb you dream of. You’re wasting your time. We have candles, life is good.

3.) “Hey Bill”: No one understands this computer nonsense you talk about. It’s way too complicated and besides, what good can ever become of it? Put that idea to bed and think about a career with Radio Shack.

4.) “Hey Martin”: Look, your house has been bombed. Your family is at great risk. This speech about having a “dream” is kind of catchy, but who will remember it a week from now? Cancel that engagement.

5.) “Hey John”: America will never elect a Catholic as it’s President. Besides, you’re from Massachusetts and you say “Cuba” funny. The Senate is good enough for you.. Stay there.

6.) “Hey Abe”: You’re too tall. You don’t look “presidential” by any stretch of the imagination. You’ve lost too many elections in the past and the odds are against you. Just remain in your law practice.

7.) “Hey Eli”: We’ve done the research. We’ve taken the polls. We have exhausted all of the great minds in the field of sports. The New York Giants can not win against the Boston Patriots. Sorry. Maybe next year.

8.) “Hey Mattel”: This “Barbie” doll you’ve got in mind is way too small. The plastic is too hard and girls will never warm up to it. Leave it on the design table.

9.) “Hey David”: Are you crazy???? Do you see how big that Goliath fellow is???? Look son, just go back to your flock of sheep and forget about it.

10.) “Hey Jesus”: I will give you all of these earthly kingdoms if you will just get off of this kick of “saving the world” you preach. Many have tried and failed. You gotta know, you’ll die trying to accomplish it. (and he did just that)

Yes! The pages of history compel us to believe in the impossible. Should Senator Clinton just “give up” as some are suggesting? I say NO. For some have had the audacity to say that Washington D.C. is where “hope” goes to die. This I know. If “hope” can indeed die, then those who carried it had no faith. For by “faith” worlds were formed. By “faith” joy comes in the morning. By “faith” we place one foot in front of the other and walk forward into our future.

Even Ford Motor Company gives us a clue. In their vehicles, the way forward is seen through a larger window than the smaller glass that reveals the past. History will surely record this Democratic presidential nomination process. Let it say that Senator Hillary Clinton thought the prize to be worth the candle and she fought for it until the end. She didn’t quit.

GO HILLARY!
