They don't want to see the consequences

[Prism]

I'm not one to complain about hides. And I'm not really complaining. I take my chances. I know when I'm being provocative.

But I thought it was interesting that merely a link to Libyan war photos was too much for Hillary's supporters.

They don't want to see the consequences of her decisions. They don't want to see families torn, lives snatched away, children obliterated, mothers and fathers grieving.

They don't want to see.

There's a line in Game of Thrones, written by George RR Martin, and uttered by the character Ned Stark. “The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.”

It's a powerful statement, that those who would remove themselves from committing death begin to value life too cheaply. When someone else swings the sword, you don't have to think about the unpleasantness.

Clinton supporters don't want to think about unpleasantness. They don't want to see the faces of those her policies killed. They mean nothing to them. Those deaths are just numbers, a toll, a statistic that they may or may not have anything to do with.

They need to hide away from the lives obliterated.

If you cannot yourself bear to view the sentence you passed, why vote for the sword?

2. I also agree with that statement from GOT.....perhaps if such was demanded, we would begin

to recognize the truth of that person, not the shadowy figures far too many have

become...

Hillary the Hardheaded Hawk

In a lengthy article (April 21st) at the “liberal” New York Times, “How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk,” Hillary is variously described as “aggressive,” “tough,” a “military wonk” who’s “more muscular” than President Obama when it comes to advocating for the use of force. Noted for her “pugnacity” and “hardheadedness,” Hillary is praised for her close relationships with U.S. generals, to include David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal. Indeed, the article highlights the fact that Hillary is sometimes more aggressive in advocating for military force than the generals she confers with. Nevertheless, or rather because of this, the generals apparently like Hillary. They really like her!

...Admirer of Henry Kissinger, supporter of the Iraq War in 2003, self-styled conqueror of Qaddafi and Libya (“We came. We saw. He died,” Hillary the Hawk laughed), fervid supporter of Bibi Netanyahu and Israel, Hillary Clinton is ready to take on the world.

5. So bushesque of them. We weren't allowed to see the caskets of American soldiers coming from either

These people are completely like republicans. It's difficult for me to see any difference.

6. "They don't want to see." Probably true...

But more apropos, they don't want others to see.

8. Really agree with you. It's disturbing in the extreme how such a large portion

of this country's population doesn't spare a second thought for the horrors its government perpetrates around the world. I was reminded of that infamous quote from Barbara Bush with reference to the Iraq intervention: "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

9. The term Limousine Liberal has a lot of relevance.

10. Hey, if Hillary did it was a good thing!

Pay no attention to the mutilated corpses in the background. They should be thankful she liberated them.

12. They are driving us in line.

The line out the exit door.

13. Propaganda is strong

We are not as pristine as the militarist corporate media has led us to believe. By a long shot.
