Trump Must Lay Responsibility For Libya At Hillary’s Chubby Feet

Hillary Clinton, Islam, Middle East, War

Donald Trump finished George Bush off and, by extension, brother Jeb’s candidacy. Trump should not be shy about laying Libya at Hillary’s chubby feet—from the invasion to the fiasco of Benghazi.

Republicans have confined their critique of the war Hillary Clinton initiated in Libya to criticism of her role in the Benghazi tragedy. Given their comparable zeal for unconstitutional, unethical and futile wars; Republicans have never seriously gone after the war Hillary launched on Libya; a war that has seen the US leave another Arab country in ruins.

I’ve heard Sean Hannity attempt this line of inquiry. He stopped short of pursuing a critique of the US-led ruination of Libya, perhaps because it would’ve left him and like-minded conservatives vulnerable. After all, had they not cheered a similarity unjust adventure in Iraq? Indeed they did.

The New York Times has a two-part expose, written, naturally, from the utilitarian perspective that it’s OK for the US to launch such wars, provided the war turns out well.

Part 2: A New Libya, With ‘Very Little Time Left’ By SCOTT SHANE and JO BECKER: The fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi seemed to vindicate Hillary Clinton. Then militias refused to disarm, neighbors fanned a civil war, and the Islamic State found refuge.

Republican Party Apparatchiks Put The Party Over The People

Conservatism, Donald Trump, Republicans

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, whose avid supporter, Mark Levin, now says he’s a fraud*, is fond of preaching about conservatism.

And as a real conservative, Sasse would like nothing more than to dissolve the Republican base and elect another more compliant support base to better reflect his ideas. Of course, Sasse phrases his goals more diplomatically:

“The American people deserve better than two fundamentally dishonest New York liberals.” (Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.)

Today, Sasse was put on the spot by MSNBC’s Chuck Todd:

Let me ask you this. If you have — what is a political party? And I ask it this way. Is it a, is it a party who gets its principles and its ideals from its leaders, or is it ground up? What if this is the people speaking and the people are basically handing the nomination to Donald Trump? You may not like it, but is it then fundamentally that the Republican party is changing because the people that are members of it have changed?

Sasse, the power hungry fool, conceded that “a political party is a tool, not a religion,” but went on to dictate his terms of party conservatism to the base. “Find the right guy,” Sasse said to Republican voters. Trump’s not it.

Republican Party apparatchiks have always put Party over People and The People are ON TO THEM.

UPDATED: Americans Sick-And-Tired Of Being Manipulated By Their Leadership & Its Client States

Donald Trump, Elections, IMMIGRATION, Middle East, Political Correctness, Republicans

World leaders are heavily vested in an America whose borders are open to all, and whose leadership leverages political correctness as a weapon against a down-trodden American people petrified of … being called names.

It would appear that Americans, for the most, are sick-and-tired of being manipulated from above and from every other direction by their leadership and its client states.

The audacious Hisham Melhem of Al Arabya:

And there’s the ubiquitous threat, again, issued by ESTABLISHMENT ERICK (ERICKSON). People, behave or else!

“… ultimately that Donald Trump supporters need to understand that Hillary Clinton will be elected if they choose to go down this path and Republicans have an obligation to to make it clear in the primary that it will be Hillary Clinton if they don’t change.”

The Single, Anti-Establishment, Establishment Democrat Breaks Away

Democrats, Donald Trump, Elections, Hillary Clinton, Military

We’ve followed the Democrats’ only rising star for some time. And now, as seen on Meet the Press, Tulsi Gabbard is breaking away from the Democratic pack to better position herself for bigger ambitions. The “congresswoman from Hawaii, Democratic National Committee vice chair, has been at odds with her boss, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for months over the Democratic presidential debate schedule.”

Gabbard has now resigned her DNC position to support Bernie Sanders based, no less, on his military acumen. Good for her—but this move is most certainly more about Tulsi’s personal ambitions than Bernie’s military abilities.

Meet The Press:

REP. TULSI GABBARD:

… Well first of all, I am resigning from the DNC so that I can support Bernie Sanders for president, and I’d like to tell you why. As a veteran and as a soldier I’ve seen firsthand the true cost of war. I served in a medical unit during my first deployment where every single day I saw firsthand the very high human cost of that war. I see it in my friends who now a decade after we’ve come home are still struggling to get out of a black hole.

I think it’s most important for us as we look at our choices as to who our next commander-in-chief will be is to recognize the necessity to have a commander-in-chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, who looks beyond the consequences. Who looks at the consequences of the actions they are willing to take before they take those actions so that we don’t continue to find ourselves in these failures that have resulted in chaos in the Middle East and so much loss of life. …
