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 ones 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.
No we do not and should not. Evil is evil and to say otherwise puts one on the way to defeat. Quit ‘pc’ Hillary.
I guess Rats haven’t been too impressed with “Forward”, so they’re going to try for “Backward”.
It means that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. It all depends on what the definition of Is is, even after Americans died in Benghazi because Hillary couldn’t tell the difference.
Sure, she believes in empathizing with our enemies because in her mind they aren’t the real enemies. The real enemies are you and me. Conservatives. Tea Party folks. The ones who honor and uphold the Constitution.
Does she empathize with us? Does she want to understand us? No way! Never! Not going to happen! So, does she truly empathize with “the enemies”? No. Not at all.
Absolutely not a Weird Al parody! Not even close. It’s laughable sophomoric and stupid — not clever or funny.
Empathize with our enemies. Yes. And the corollary to that is to demonize Israel, police officers, etc.
Guess she must have seen that “Death of Klinghoffer” opera which empathizes with Palestinian terrorists and correlates Gaza with the Warsaw ghetto.
Further proof that liberalism is a mental illness..
I will never empathize with democrats.
I think that it is scary that people think that the video is funny.
good thing we didn't empathize with Hitler. I think the hag means surrender.
I agree with her completely. But empathy can’t stand in the way of doing what needs done.
Like when Michael kissed Fredo, telling him “Im your brother and I love you, but for business reasons I still have to have you killed.”
Hildabeast is an ENEMY of America.
I don’t empathize with any enemy.
I’d rather defeat enemies.
Good one! : )
Hillbeans likes to kiss Muslim butt. It turns her on.
The Flying Buttress won’t live this one down. She’ll be quoted in every Ted Cruz commercial along with “what difference does it make!!?”
lol
sounds like she’s caught a bad case of Obamaitus !
all the better for us :)
easier to tie her to this loser administration!
Sure. We empathized with Germany and Japan in 1946. (Italy a a little sooner)
