The Clintons are a quick study in Nietzsche and "Will-to-Power." They are determined to prevail, expand their influence and dominate the situation regardless of he consequences to others and those who previously supported them.

Good point and analysis.

It was Nietzsche who popularized the phrase "God is Dead."

God is alive.

Nietzsche is in Hell.

A little lesson the Clintons should heed.

Yes, you are right and an apt post.

I must say, however, while Nietzsche was an atheist his term “God is dead” was used to describe the intellectuals of the late 19th century.

He believed, correctly I think, that people had lost real faith and fear of God; consequently, God was dead as a form of control of antisocial influences. He was so sure of this he predicted the early 20th century would provide a plethora of ruthless leaders who would wage indiscriminate, catastrophic wars. Well, we got Stalin, Mao and Hitler.
