When the libs asked of the Muslims, “Why do they hate us?” they assumed that there was good reason for the hatred because we were flawed. But when they ask, “Why do we hate Hillary?” they assume that we are to blame for disliking her.
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)
I would love to just once be able to respond to these threads the same way I do out loud when I read them.
Just incredible. Incredible.
When the “mistakes” result in the loss of American lives, an entire diplomatic mission, foreign lives in entirely unnecessary wars that don’t involve U.S. national interests, and domestically a series of felonies including securities fraud (insider trading on cattle futures), violation of the espionage act, perjury, and an extensive and unexplained flotilla of suspiciously circumstanced dead bodies, then it’s time to say no more, no more.
Newsweek actually making believe that Clinton’s failure and corruption are a mistaken impression of OURS. Delusional. Literally.
LOL, you and me both. I have a tendency to scare the cats sometimes. Hey, I work at home and am used to yelling at the computer.
Looks like the media screw worm is starting to turn on Clinton.
I think it’s becoming clear even to the lying media they can’t make Clinton look good regardless if they run anti Trump commercials 24/7. It’s not going to work. Not this time.
I could sum up why people hate Hillary Clinton in three words.
She is crooked.
I don’t need to read an article to figure out what I already know about her.
I’ve had a bad temper since the first wall punch while shaving at 16 :)
I stopped watching network news and ALL TV completely.
Get my news here and my shows on Prime.
Working from home is a good gig :)
About 1 out of 3 of the menfolk in my family work from home.
I don’t hate Hillary, I despise her, for the same reason I despise Benedict Arnold: she betrayed a position of trust for money and personal advancement. Bribery, soliciting bribery, money laundering, conspiracy, and destruction of evidence: this is only what can be substantiated in a single news broadcast. Why do people hate Hillary? Uh, because she’s a criminal?
Cobol, that was one of those word puzzles that I had absolutely no problem deciphering even after losing my right contact lens today. We must be exchanging Morse Code via telepathy or something.
Did they actually pay someone to write this nonsense?
How many layers of botch-up was Benghazi?
The foreign policy of pretending everything is fine while getting pantsed internationally. The consistently picking allies that hate us and sucker her (and Kerry). The sending the Mission to Bhenghazi (that’s the only one that maybe fit the authors premise), the *extreme* refusal to protect the mission. The blaming the obviously unrelated video. The throwing the video into our foreign policy. The scapegoating the video author, sending him to jail. The scapegoating political opponents blaming them first for Benghazi, then for noticing the conspiracy across the administration, the refusal to act lawfully to legitimate legal requests for information. The failure to properly secure intelligence on the matter against foreign interests...
I’m sure I’ve left quite a few out.
Repeat for dozens of other misjudgements - which grossly outnumber plausible accomplishments.
Duh, it’s because she is a woman.
At least that’s what they want you to believe.
You have to be kidding, Newsweak.
Because she’s a vicious sociopath.
Anyone who asks that question isn’t paying much attention.
“Leave it to Newsweek ..... unbelievable: “Why Do People Hate Hillary”. Amazing.”
Written by-——a “contributor”.
Newsweek lost it’s way years ago.
