By contrast, Hillary has contributed mightily to the deaths of<br \/>\nscores of thousands along with those who have been bombed, tortured<br \/>\nand displaced because of the many wars she has supported in her<br \/>\nvarious roles as First Lady (bombing Serbia, Waco), Senator (Iraq,<br \/>\nAfghanistan) and as Secretary of State (Libya, Ukraine, Honduras).<\/p>\n<p>She is arguably a war criminal under International Law based on the<br \/>\nNuremberg standard. Laughing at the death of a foreign leader like<br \/>\nGadaffi is nothing short of sadistic. Labeling Putin, arguably the most<br \/>\neffective national leader on the planet, the &#8220;new Hitler&#8221; for defending<br \/>\nthe interests of Russia is beyond stupid.<\/p>\n<p>All of the above demonstrate that Clinton is clearly evil. Stealing the<br \/>\nnomination from Sanders only added to her venality.<\/p>\n<p>Even if we stipulate that Trump is evil, by no standard of objective<br \/>\nanalysis can his record compare with Hillary&#8217;s for abusing power<br \/>\nand doing harm to the public good.<\/p>\n<p>Even a super-leftist like Susan Sarandon is able to see the truth<br \/>\nof what I just wrote: <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=45180\">https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=45180<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, if you want to vote for the &#8220;lesser of two evils&#8221; that is your choice.<br \/>\nBut please be aware that you will have a lot of explaining to do if<br \/>\nyou pick Hillary over Trump, especially because you can take a<br \/>\nstand this election cycle to vote for a third-party candidate who is<br \/>\nnot evil. <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=45100\">https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=45100<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump may not be the savior some want him to be. But choosing to<br \/>\ncast your ballot for Clinton will make you an apologist for her previous<br \/>\nmisdeeds and complicit in any future evil she perpetuates in her role<br \/>\nas President of the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"bo0lE6KpDq\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=44803\">HILLARY CLINTON: The Most Dangerous Presidential Candidate in U.S. History<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;HILLARY CLINTON: The Most Dangerous Presidential Candidate in U.S. History&#8221; &#8212; SOTN: Alternative News, Analysis &amp; Commentary\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=44803&#038;embed=true#?secret=1PLAxSYKdT#?secret=bo0lE6KpDq\" data-secret=\"bo0lE6KpDq\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45186\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
