Hillary Clinton: “naked ugliness and horror”

Hillary Clinton Goes to Welfare Island

By Daniel Greenfield On June 15, 2015

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

Hillary Clinton decided to deliver her first major policy speech on Welfare Island; the site of a notoriously brutal prison and lunatic asylum.
Like Hillary, Welfare Island has gone through many identities to try and fix its image problem. It was Blackwell’s Island when it was the site of the New York City Lunatic Asylum described by Dickens as a place of “naked ugliness and horror.” You can see the grim ruins [2] of the Smallpox Hospital which some have claimed is haunted [3] by the ghosts of those who suffered and died there.
And the ghosts, those of Welfare Island and of the Clintons, were out in force during her appearance.
The Smallpox Hospital was a wonderful example of the socialized medicine advocated by Hillary Clinton. Patients died there by the thousands while the nurses held their families hostage for bribes. Like the NHS horror stories today [4], patents starved and begged for a drink of water, but were given nothing.
When Hillary Clinton spoke, she overlooked the site of some of the worst atrocities committed by her Democratic Party for the sake of “helping” the poor. Mayor Mickle, who got the job after his mother-in-law wrote a $5,000 check (over $100,000 today) to Tammany Hall, made the island a prison for the poor. The Democratic Party’s corrupt politicians made out like Clintons from their misery, suffering and death.
The site of Hillary’s speech was renamed Welfare Island in an attempt to improve its image. It didn’t work. In the seventies, a collapsing city renamed it Roosevelt Island to remind people of a time when the welfare state had a better image than corruption, corpses and crumbling ruins.
