To deplore something is to criticize it. To be deplorable is to be pitiful, lamentable or distressing.
When Hillary Clinton says that half of Americans are pitiful and open to criticism, it is insulting and offensive. It is also dismissive of the value of each and every human being.
In Hillary’s world there is no room for dissenting ideas. In Hillary’s world some people are less entitled to respect. In Hillary’s world, winning is more important than sportsmanship. In Hillary’s world favors can be bought and sold.
In my world, we appreciate other ideas and learn from other people. In my world everyone has the human right to respect. In my world how you play the game is far more important than winning, especially if winning involves lies and cheating. In my world, favors are given from the heart with no expectations.
I am proud of my world and distressed by Hillary’s world. So, she can call half of us deplorable. Her attitude is deplorable.
