Clinton says America should ‘empathize’ with its enemies

Quote
Hillary Clinton is taking heat for saying America should “empathize” and show “respect” for its enemies.

The former secretary of State, who is considered a likely 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, made the remarks during a speech Wednesday at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

Touting an approach she calls “smart power,” Clinton urged America to use “every possible tool and partner” to advance peace.

She is clearly no different from Obama.  :mental:

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

She's playing to her base. Having been criticized for being too hawkish, she's now pandering to the progressives who think she's a viable candidate for president.

Let there be no mistake -- Hillary is a dangerous, ruthless, and completely power-mad progressive. She happens to be slightly smarter about her marxism than Barry is, but she has survived all these years throughout all the bullshit she's pulled because she's adept at what she does.

Ollie North thinks she wrote herself off as a candidate. I'm not so sure. I think underestimating HIllary Clinton would be a very dangerous and unwise thing to do.

Killary Clinton is a shoe-in if the GOP elite and the media run Christy or Jeb Bush as the opposition.

I just don't see a Christy, Jeb or Hillary type becoming President.  A lot of lefties don't like Hillary and righties don't want another Bush.  Christy has the reputation of being a bully, and after 8 years of a passive-aggressive bully will have been enough.

In context, it doesn't sound nearly as bad as it's being painted, but even in context it still doesn't sound like she has a clue.

I listened to it, trying to be fair and give her the benefit of the doubt, thinking "Maybe she was just inartful in saying that we need to get inside their heads, understand where they are coming from and what motivates them to their goals in order to get the upper hand or achieve what we need, either to achieve a military-political victory or if it ever comes to having to negotiate with them on anything."

But no, there was really no way her remarks could be taken to mean anything besides "We are the bad guy and we need to stop being mean to them and give them things they want."

White guilt, Male Privilege, Affirmative Action, "one percenters", reparations, unilateral nuclear disarmament, King Putt's deal with China on carbon emissions, surrender of the right of self defense, open borders...
