During her recent speech before a half empty auditorium at Georgetown University, former Secretary of State and Democrat Party frontrunner for the White House in 2016, Hillary Clinton suggested that we try to see things from our enemys perspective. And I quote, Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view.
Suggesting that we must empathize with the likes of ISIS, Boko Harum, al Qaeda, Iran and North Korea to name just a few seems a bit of a stretch. But I guess we must take Ms. Clinton at her word. Though after meeting with her political advisors following her speech Im sure a clarification about what she really said will soon be forthcoming. As often happens when Hillarys tongue gets in front of her eye teeth and she cant see that what shes saying is just plain stupid.
But it does make one wonder about that phone call at three oclock in the morning shes always telling us about. Will she pick up the phone and ask Kim Jong Un, Hows the foot feeling ?; or when Mullah Omar of the Taliban calls will she ask, Hows your wife (or wives) and kids doing ?; and after accepting the Iranian leaders collect call will she say, I guess I can see your point about wanting to blow us up ?
Considering her enormous record of achievement as secretary of state, such as, Considering her enormous support among Democrats and the liberal media, Hillary can get away with saying any number of stupid things. Her political advisors, aides and her allies in the news media will quickly swoop in to sweep up, after her messing up, as she once again says something so ridiculous that it begs one to question whether shes fully recovered from that concussion she claims to have suffered. You know, the one that delayed her testifying before the congressional committee looking into the Benghazi attacks until she had her table pounding indignation fully rehearsed.
I guess well just have to sit back and enjoy the entertainment as her advisors and media allies try to undo the potential damage her recent and future remarks might cause her political ambitions. After all, the heir apparent to Barack Obama cant appear to be as clueless and out of touch as he has for the past six years.
But thats just my perspective. I wonder if Hillary empathizes ?
I believe Sun Tzu said, “know your enemy,” in order to defeat them, not empathize with them so we can all get along.
Newspeak Duckspeak is doubleplusungood.
We always tried to see things from the enemy’s perspective, especially when we were laying out our FPF. Good leaders always do.
I thought Barry Obama had already assigned the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to do this six years ago.
This is the direction I saw this country going if McGovern became President. I was only 17 at the time and even then I saw it as disastrous.
She’d likely have said the same after Perl Harbor.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
I already do see things from my enemie’s perspective.
They want to chop my head off.
I’m still working on the empathize bit.
“America as we knew it is gone.”
Tragically, that is true. However, I firmly believe we can bring her back; though the longer we wait, the more difficult it will be.
Hillary is a shrewd woman and knows what she is saying. The lie of moral relativism is a denial of the existence of good and evil. Her ideas aren’t new at all. Furthermore, she knows what she is saying is BS. It is psychological manipulation that conditions people to think that any governmental action is righteous if it is couched as a greater good for society. Basically it is a way to condition people to accept evil.
One of my favorite quotes is from C.S Lewis. There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every minute and every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan.
Unwittingly Hillary reveals a major issue in her blighted existence-- she finds it "psychologically impossible" to empathize with a perspective different from her own. She really ought to drop out of politics, stop abusing the republic, and go talk to someone.
I’d worry about this if I didn’t think that she’s just a lying thief.
Like the folks at Lippo Bank ?
Huge RAH fan.
Let us empathize with Juanita Broadrick, Vince Foster, the Benghazi casualties, and the other victims of her political ambition.
