Hillary Clinton: We Need to “Empathize” With America’s Enemies
FrontPage Mag ^ | 12/05/2014 | Daniel Greenfield

Americans who couldn’t get enough of six years of appeasement and pandering to our enemies can get eight more years of the same in 2016.

All they have to do is vote Hillary. Who is Ready for Hillary? Iran, North Korea and Al Qaeda.

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.

This, she said, includes “leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect even for one’s enemies, trying to understand and insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view.”

We already know how that works.

After Benghazi, Hillary Clinton promised the father of a murdered SEAL that they would get the man who made the video. And they did. He went to prison for offending Muslims. Meanwhile the Jihadists who did it took over Benghazi and entire Libyan cities.

Obama ran on a “Smart Power” foreign policy. That means trashing our allies and rewarding our enemies. It led to Al Qaeda takeovers of entire countries and an Iranian nuclear program rushing toward doomsday.

It led to widespread contempt for America, to a Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite Hillary’s “Reset Button”. It led to renewed Chinese aggression.

And the only thing Hillary Clinton has to offer is more of the same. This isn’t a new car smell. It’s the smell of a burning building. It’s the odor of toxic gasses in Syria. It’s the stench of American power and influence going up in smoke.

Let’s see Hillary and her coven “empathize” with TEA Party patriots.

How much do our enemies “empathize” and show “respect” for America?

I love good satire as much as anyone, but THIS is literally over the top!

I don’t know who this guy is but toward the end of this 2 minute video, he can be seen toting a red container as he mounted the buddy seat of a motorcycle driven by his woman. My guess is that they’re off to the local medical facility to pick up several gallons of the testosterone he is clearly lacking!

The other thought that crossed my alleged mind is that if he’s not faking the southern accent, he will probably also soon require plastic surgery to alter his appearance if he EVER wants to stroll into a beer joint down here without getting the shit beat out of him!

After “enjoying” the video, read the comments from others below.

Add this to Benghazi, “What difference does it make”, her recent comment that we “need to empathize with our enemies”, and it appears she’s destroyed any chance she may have had to take her serial rapist/misogynist hubby back to the intern rich environment of the White House.

Please, God, make it so!

“We Need to “Empathize” With America’s Enemies”

Is that something we do BEFORE or WHILE our heads are being removed?

Another puppet. Huma probably has so much dirt on her that can get her to say anything. Her ace up the sleeve I think is she will bow out for health reasons.

I wonder if she made those same statements to the Families of those killed in Benghazi, Including her "close" friend Ambassador Stevens?

Strangely enough, an old small-o orthodox Christian viewpoint did allow for that. It recognized that everybody is a sinner and those who did better than others did so by virtue of God’s grace, not their own merit.

However we are in an era that has reinvented itself as post Christian. Liberalism’s saddest moments are when it tries to do Christianesque things sans a Christ.
