The New York Times declares Senator Clinton a “working class hero:”

“I don’t think folks in Washington listen enough,” Mrs. Clinton said in Greenville, a catch developing in her voice. “Because if we listen we will hear this incredible cry: ‘Please just pay attention to what’s going on in our lives.’”

Many voters at these events marvel at Mrs. Clinton’s understanding.

I marvel at her misunderstanding; the reason the cry is incredible is because it’s not true. We don’t need the “folks in Washington” to “pay attention to what’s going on in our lives;” we need them to go away and leave us alone.

She’s right on one thing, though: the folks in Washington don’t listen enough, herself included. If you know you aren’t listening, how do you know what you’re not hearing?

The real cry is, “keep your nose out of our business, keep your hands out of our pockets and keep your propaganda out of our schools.”
