A Hillary presidency will guarantee at least a war or two

Listening to her speech to AIPAC, she sounds like a right wing war mongering Republican, not a Democrat.
She is poised to start a war with Iran, marginalize the Palestinians and make peace between Israel and Palestinians even more difficult, and she even vowed she will stand against the UN for any peace efforts that body might try to impose on the parties.

All points made while screaming like a cowboy ready to go out shooting.

Is this lady the only qualified Democrat our party can offer for the highest office in the land?

She must be denied the nomination or either of two things will happen:

** She will lose in a landslide to an R candidate because she is sooooooo unlikeable.

**She will manage to eke out a win and then start unnecessary wars and put the world in danger just because she has to prove her toughness.

We have been warned

of lies until they are no longer able to be rational.

How differently people use the blessings of the Information Age. Some become knowledgeable about things they care about, in numbers far beyond anything ever seen before; and some use it to debase their intellect until simple ignorance becomes worthy and dignified in comparison.

The bullies thrive because we continue to play their game of destablization and regime change.

The bullies thrive because we continue to send weapons and supplies over there.

The bullies thrive because we look the other way when they are supported by Turkey and the Saudis et al.

The bullies thrive because that is what the war profiteers want unending war.

They have attacked some of our computer networks. They agreed to the nuclear deal but can renege at any time. They continue to work on their ballistic missile capabilities. They continue to threaten Israel with annihilation. President Obama agreed to this nuclear deal but has made it clear that Iran remains a threat to global security.

that she made Trump look thoroughly little league. She nailed him on his equivocating between being neutral on Israel-Palestine and being pro-Israel. That point received a rousing ovation. Hillary brought us one step closer to retaining the presidency today. That's the big take.
