Libya is now a haven for terrorists, from al Qaeda to ISIS, whereas Gaddafi had been a leading foe of terrorists. As Secretary of State (January 2009-February 2013), with great access to knowledge, Clinton played a key role in the 2011 destruction of Libya’s modern and secular welfare state, sending it crashing in utter chaos into a failed state, leading to the widespread dispersal throughout North African and Middle East hotspots of the gigantic arsenal of weaponry that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had accumulated. The Times continued about Trump: “He has shamefully little knowledge of the issues facing the country and the world.”Īgain, knowledge is trumped (no pun intended) by ideology. Who would you sooner vote for, a person with 30 years in Congress who doesn’t share your political and social views at all, is even hostile to them, or someone who has never held public office before but is an ideological comrade on every important issue? Clinton’s 12 years in high government positions carries no weight with me. The only thing that counts is the person’s ideology. But when it comes to politicians, experience means nothing. When I have a medical problem I prefer a doctor who specializes in the part of my body that’s ill. When I need to have my car fixed I look for a mechanic with experience with my type of auto. The Los Angeles Times ran an editorial the day after the multiple primary elections of March 1 which began: “Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States,” and then declared: “The reality is that Trump has no experience whatsoever in government.” Can we expect to change corporate behavior by taking their money? Add to that Hillary’s willingness to serve for six years on the board of Walmart while her husband was governor of Arkansas. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Īnd not much better can be expected on domestic issues from this woman who was paid $675,000 by Goldman Sachs – one of the most reactionary, anti-social corporations in this sad world – for three speeches and even more than that in political donations in recent years.
