Hillary Clinton To Lay Out Steps for Protecting U.S. Homeland in Minnesota on Tuesday, December 15, 2015

In a speech Tuesday in Minnesota, Hillary Clinton will lay out a counterterrorism strategy that protects the U.S. homeland from terrorist attacks. The strategy will address the threat of domestic radicalization, and demonstrate her belief that the most effective plan stays true to America's most deeply held values, such as inclusiveness and religious freedom.

In the aftermath of the Paris attacks last month, Clinton appeared at the Council on Foreign Relations to discuss her three-part plan for defeating ISIS and other terrorist groups. Now, following the massacre in San Bernardino, California, Clinton will go into more detail on the third part, outlining her specific strategy to confront the threat of domestic radicalization and foreign-inspired terrorist attacks inside the United States.

1. Hopefully a sane approach that doesn't get us into another war.

I wonder if she'll address the domestic Christian pro-life terror threat at the same level as the Muslim pro-ISIS domestic threat. Because you know it seems to me these pro-life 'christian,' radical right, KKK sympathizing gun nuts are a hell of a lot more dangerous than the Muslim threat. Or at least the two are equal.

I mean if you've ever driven through the deep south, or even western PA, rural Ohio or Missouri you'd see these people are the biggest threat to everything we stand for that there ever was.

2. But that won't get her any votes.

3. Yes it would.

Look at Bernie. He's saying stuff the establishment thought was dead years ago and getting lots of traction. Because the New Deal worked. Regulated capitalism worked. Strong unions worked.

Now we have this neoliberal 'free market' cancer that's fucking us all over. Did you see the PEW study that just came out about the American middle class losing more ground? It came out December 8th I think, and isn't any surprise.

And, today I went to the grocery store and got stuff for about three meals plus a couple toiletries, some coffee and toilet paper. $89. Seriously. If they are going to rob you, they might as well hold a gun to your face.

Between my employer and me, we spend 18.5% of my gross so my wife and I can 'enjoy' shitty, rationed healthcare through an HMO that cares more about cutting costs and retaining earnings than it ever has about giving us the medical treatment we actually need.

See, this is why I'm for Bernie. Clinton doesn't think single payer is 'real.' I think it is the ONLY moral option.
Clinton helped write the TPP under the guise of 'economic statecraft.' The fact she has issued a lukewarm opposition is only because she has been attacked from the left in the primary.

7. All of that is why I am also for Bernie.

13. Heh! nt

4. Don't worry the CFR's domestic terror experts are smarter than all of us combined...

He used to work for the Chertoff Group, no mamby pamby lefty crap there… so we should be safe with them advising Hillary.

5. Step one

Stoke and use the fears of the public. She's already hard at work on that one.

6. And the Peanut Gallery chimes in. +1 for the former SOS taking it seriously.

[Cha]

8. KICK

[TransitJohn]

9. Blech!

How much more like George Bush* can one sound? This place erupted when Bush* said the same shit.

[Live and Learn]

11. Exactly. The OP lost me at 'Homeland'. UGH nt

[artislife]

14. What was the country that refered itself as homeland?

It escapes me...

[Live and Learn]

22. One that was associated with Prescott Bush I think. nt

[JaneyVee]

10. K AND R!

[coyote]

15. Homeland sounds so naziesque.

However, I am sure Clinton the warhawk will be in her element presenting this.

[Betty Karlson]

19. And piecemeal eradicate a few amendments of the constitution.

It's the right thing to do, says Wall Street. 9/11, a gender, socialism, the power of Debbie commands you. If you don't vote for Clinton you are racist and sexist.

[AgingAmerican]

16. The "Homeland?"

Like 'Motherland' or 'Fatherland?'

Empiristic right wing labels.

Every day, further and further to the right. Now using Neocon language are we? Where does it stop?

[Major Hogwash]

17. 1st step -- vote for Bernie.

You're welcome.

[Betty Karlson]

18. "Homeland" is neo-fascist lingo.

The term was first introduced by Bush and his cronies. Is Clinton now going after his voters?

[beam me up scottie]

20. Homeland?

What's next, a declaration that they hate us for our freedom?

[oasis]

21. Kick for focus on a critical issue.
