The Age of Aquarius

Former Clinton advisor Dick Morris and his wife Eileen McGann are not admirers of Hillary Clinton, to put it mildly. They have formed a website entitled The Hillary Daily.com to make regular comments about Hillary's candidacy. I wonder about the etiology of the ill will they have toward her.

Today Eileen tackles Hillary's suggestion that we should empathize with our enemies:
In a speech to a half-empty auditorium at Georgetown University that her spin doctors would undoubtedly describe as half-full, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have sealed her presidential ambitions.

At the very least, she raised serious questions about her fitness to be Commander-in-Chief.

She’s dangerous. We need to keep her far, far away from that Oval Office.

In a momentous statement, she called on Americans to “understand” and “empathize” with the “perspective and point of view” of our enemies, helping to “define the problems, determine the solutions.” She said “Smart Power” left “no one on the sidelines” and used “every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security.” Clinton even called for “respect” for our enemies.

She sounded like a new age philosopher about to belt out a line from The Age of Aquarius at a 60‘s peace rally. You could almost hear the words:

“Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.”

Perhaps we should ask her which of our enemies she would have us "empathize" with? ISIS, who beheads reporters on the internet? Iran, who tortures and kills thousands of political dissidents every year and foments terrorism? Or North Korea that starves its own people to death? How about Assad who gases them? Putin who boldly
annexes his neighbors by force, ignoring international law?

What’s gotten into her? This woman who maintains the largest, most comprehensive, expansive, and growing list of personal and political enemies of any American political figure? Who dug up blackmail material on her husband’s mistresses to cow them into silence? Now she wants us to be forgiving, respectful, and compassionate to our enemies. Has she ever been?

You’re in over your head, Hillary. Go home. Channel Osama in the privacy of your own home. Don’t endanger our country.
