Spoken like a true, diehard Clintonian.

BTW, have you spoken to Hillary lately? How is she recovering?

Nah man, it's a profound statement that is more ideological than political.

Dukes is spot on here as he shows the dichotomy is not restricted to a party - it is an ideology. American philosophy is a pendulum, and the ballast is the good people across it's lands.

Currently, the Statue of Liberty is weeping.

or spoken another way, the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Well, it's one of Bill Clinton's most famous quotes, thus the "Clintonian" reference.

And, you should know, Dukes is Clintonian to di bone.

that's a sexy line for scoring political points but it is true that the most oppressed nation in the world needs to be freed

This is FALSE!!!

In March 2007,I went to a fundraiser for Barack Obama in NYC and supported him ever since. I was a diehard supporter of him during his primary fight with Hilary so your assertion is utter nonsense.

My support for Hilary against Bernie was a triumph of head over heart.

There is nothing great about America that wasnt great about Britain, or Rome, or Greece, or Egypt.

The morality of might is what has driven most people to those countries and not some innate goodness.

When the cycle moves on, everyone will recognise it for what it was. A cycle of civilisation and nothing else.

And America is a crumbling empire

Unfortunately the world is crumbling under the weight of its refusal to age nicely.

This wont be like the British empire waning. The beast needs to be fed.

Given all that has transpired, to that I say, your heart's in the right place, but your head should be examined.

Well, for someone who likes to laugh at his own jokes, even if no one else does, I still get a tickle, at your expense, every time I re-read it.. lol

BTW, you still haven't told me how dear ole Hillary is doing these days.

 
Dukes 2017-02-01 07:00:15 

In reply to ProWI

Like America,Hilary even though she has seen better days,will be fine in the long run.
Ultimately due to the generosity and fairness of the American people this abomination will be corrected.

Very well stated , Dukes is absolutely
correct in his assessment . Now your
description , about being a Pendulum
is in my opinion very apt . Progress
generally moves in the Right direction , But at times due to nature of Democracy , at times it stalls , before moving forward again .

The essential point however is that
ultimately the USA will go in the Right direction . I have absolutely no doubt that the current chaos in
the Trump Administration , has many
Americans suffering from Buyers Remorse .

Two years from now there will be the
Midterm Elections , Many American People are currently flexing their
power in the form of massive demonstrations ; that are not so much
politically motivated ,but by a deep
sense of Fairness .

 
Dukes 2017-02-01 12:01:38 

I note with some amusement, some on here seemingly dancing on the grave of America.I would remind them to heed the words of Samuel Clemens back in 1897!!!!!

 
POINT 2017-02-01 15:03:51 

I voted for Hillary , because Bernie
is NOT a Member of the Democratic Party . HE however votes with the Democratic Party .

Bernie Sanders in his State, states that he is an Independent Socialist Democrat . However if he had won the
nomination to be the Democratic Party
Standard Bearer in the General Elections I would however have voted for him .
