Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good President? If so, why?

PO1 Dronzin, those who want incompetency in government???

More like incontinence. Doing stupid stuff like trading [suspected] deserters for enemy combatants, or empty threats with no plan. Let the history not repeat, please elect wisely!

At least you were not pulling for Cantor!

True, just saw his constipated picture. Looks like time for him to take Cantor, I mean Castor oil

Most definitely a viable choice although I'm concerned about his stance on firearms.

So why not go Libertarian?

Scary thought, SFC Attaway. 8 years of Ovmit is bad enough.

yes it really is a scary thought hehehehehehe

Hope in one hand... it depends on how you define a "good president". I judge a president by how well they defend individual freedom from oppression. I'm not optimistic.

Agreed, Sir!

we HAVE to go there to STOP them...lest we have to fight it in our own community

ITS ABSURD TO THINK WE CAN DEFEAT ISIS WITHOUT BOOTS ON GROUND...

id vote to Nuke em...before Iran does

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each: 1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. 3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution. 6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. 8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. 9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. 11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked. 12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. 13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Actually if you look at Russia's current political climate, they are very conservative. Many businesses there push Russian Orthodox Christianity on their employees. Including one business that expects bible study from them. If you are of a different faith, such as jewish and choose not to participate, you'll be getting a pink slip. Actually Putin's Russia would be a conservative's dreamland.

The closest thing to hell without actually having gone there. Vets from all military actions (re: combat) will surely understand this sentiment.

SGT (Join to see) I would respectfully suggest that it is necessary to define the word "conservative" before one makes claims as to what is a "conservative's dreamland" (in Russia). There is nothing "Conservative" in the American Sense about forcing, or suppressing faith of any kind. American Conservatism has to do with wanting to preserve, or to "conserve" the principles upon which OUR country was founded. Namely, those ideas put forth in our Declaration of Independence, the Federalist/Anti-Federalist papers, our Constitution, and the works of our Framers and their contemporaries. So, when using the word "conservative" to describe the Russians, the term has little meaning, unless one takes the time to define what the Russians are trying to "conserve" or preserve.
Respectfully submitted.

And state "does it really matter"!

Thus history repeats itself.

Exactly, especially in politics.
