I don't refuse to speak out against her because she is viewed as a leftist (she's not, she's a centrist politician). I am speaking out against Trump because he is a dangerous racist whose central policy ideas are unworkable and dangerous. There are a number of tests for a prospective leader; will they keep us safe, will they safeguard the economy and will they make the country better, Trump fails on every one.
I don't consider either Libya or Syria to be a success story. I find it hard to feel too sorry for dictators that meet a sticky end but that does not excuse the mess that has been made post Gaddafi. What has happened in both has been a travesty but largely for different reasons. Our limiting our involvement in Syria has arguably resulted in more deaths and I find the hard lefts' silence on Russian involvement in Syria shocking and the hard rights appeasement of Putin even worse.
I can assure you, that those specific test requirements of a prospective leader are held the world over by law abiding people, under suppression, under any system of government.
You are entitled to share your views as to why Hillary Clinton would make a better president than Donald Trump, that I have no problem with. What I do have a problem with is all this labeling/baiting that we are seeing going on and I'm not specifically talking about it just going on in this Presidential debate, it's everywhere on nearly every political discussion. I think our attention is being diverted.
You stated that Hillary Clinton's time as secretary of state as decent, I beg to differ. I view her time as Secretary of State as a time of wanton barbarism. Colonel Gaddafi and the Citizens of Libya did not deserve this. Since 2004 Libya began destroying its chemical munitions and was down to its final facility when the NATO bombings began. Apparently tonnes of sarin and mustard gas has been taken by gunmen. I'm guessing this is Clinton/Obama making us all feel safe?
Under Gaddafi, the Citizens of Libya were receiving free healthcare, free education both at home and abroad - none of this tuition fees and Care Insurance nonsense. It's a fact, that Libya had one of the highest levels of overseas students paid for by the state, than by any other nation in the world, many of them being women . The women in Libya were respected, had laws to protect them like in no other Arab country . Meanwhile, the champion of women's rights, Hillary Clinton is cosying up with Saudi Royals and other Arab royals as they grease her palms with donations to the Clinton Foundation. In some of these countries such as Saudi Arabia, a man ( I use the term, man, loosely here ) is within his right to beat up his wife in a public place!
Is this Hillary looking out for women?
How about black people, is she racist towards black people?
I guess having NATO, destroy 70% of ,The Great Man Made River of Libya , a 20 plus billion dollar project that would supply much needed clean drinking water not just for Libyans but into the neighbouring countries.
The attack on the water supply, was that racist, strategic? For certain a war crime and also just to much progress for mankind to make without any Starbucks or Mcdonalds involvement.
