I asked a few what that was all about and for the most part the answer was always the same.

Basically...it's scary being a woman in this culture, much less a little woman. Being on the arm of a big man provides a sense of security they otherwise rarely have.

She is still responsible for her statements and I'd assume the advice she gives the administrations for which she's worked. Unlike Obama, she actually has a history all the way back to Clinton and the Rawandan genocide.

This is not a matter of her gender, but rather, the policies that she's supported through her career.

Conflating the first with the other three is a stretch.

No, it isn't. All four are examples of violent, or at the very least potentially violent, anti-government whacknuttery.

Who is it that's strutting around like horny roosters, with guns of wide variety openly displayed and spouting he-man, nationalistic vitriol, Brent? PETA? The Sierra Club? Rainbow Coalition and the LBGT activists?

Come on now, I know you're far from stupid. Maybe you just don't want to see it?

Tell ya what...if I didn't want to take down an airliner or blow up a building in this country at first...I'd certainly want to after sitting in prison for 12 years with no hope of ever getting out, or even ever going to trial.

I'd want to blow up every goddamn American I could.
With that said then why would anyone with an iota of intelligence ever let them go?

Good argument I heard today on the radio, if a sailor jumped off a ship as a dare does not the Navy try and rescue said sailor. Answer is yes then court marshal him! This did happen!
