Pirate's Cove

You remember Hillary Clinton, right? She is now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. The one who lied about the reason 4 Americans were killed in Benghazi, and who helped create the poor security situation for our people in Benghazi. She helped create an Islamist state in Libya. She blew off the Arab Spring, and, by her own words, helped create the Iran deal which simply kicks the can for Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions down the road 8-10 years. She exposed America’s national security secrets to foreign governments, and anyone with basic hacking skills, by using an illegal and unallowed server. She used her position as Secretary of State to enrich her foundation and hook up cronies.

But, no, the NY Times is not concerned about her

Why Republicans Won’t Renounce Trump

When Donald Trump attacked a federal judge whose parents were born in Mexico, Hispanic Americans were outraged. Other minority groups saw a pattern of bigotry. Democrats had a hard time concealing their glee. Republican leaders pretended they disapproved.

Well, to be fair, they did disapprove in a way — not because Trump believes the things he says, but because he says them so directly.

Far too many Republicans share this kind of racism and have for a long time. Trump has just dispensed with dog whistles and revels in his bigotry instead. But this is the party the Republicans have been deliberately and assiduously building for many decades, the party of division and intolerance. George H.W. Bush’s racist tactics in 1988 against Michael Dukakis — the Willie Horton ad in particular — seem almost genteel by comparison.

And boom, we have a Willie Horton mention! Every presidential election cycle seems to require some Leftist boob to bring it up, forgetting that it was Al Gore who brought it up first. Oh, and that Willie Horton was a loathsome criminal who raped, tortured, and murdered a man and a woman after he was let out under Dukakis’ weekend furlough program. He was in jail initially (along with 2 others) for robbing 17 year old Joseph Fournier, stabbing him 19 times, stuffing his body in a trash can, and letting him bleed to death.

Once Horton was recaptured in Maryland after raping and killing and stuff, post weekend furlough which he never returned from, the Maryland judge refused to return him to Massachusetts, worried that Dukakis would release him again.

Today’s Republicans have stymied every effort at reforming immigration, at achieving true equality for women, at ending the scourge of racist drug laws and criminal sentencing rules. The Republican Party has generated a wave of laws designed to make it harder for black Americans and other minorities to vote. It’s not that Republicans don’t want to deport millions of Mexicans and ban Muslims from our shores. They just don’t like to talk about it in the open.

If they’re illegal, deport them. If they can’t prove who they are, they can’t vote. If they’re doing hard drugs, prosecute them (I don’t think possession of marijuana should be worse than a parking ticket, at most). Funny part here, Blacks do much, much worse in Democratic Party run cities, shooting and killing each other wantonly. It’s almost like Democrats like Blacks killing each other.

So when Donald Trump started to attack Mexicans, Muslims and anyone else who popped into his head, Republican leaders may have thought it was bad tactics. But all that talk this year about the “Republican establishment” being aghast at Trump for his outlandish ideas was nonsense.

Muslims are so often bringing their radical Islamist ideas to our shores. They stand against everything that Democrats are for. Why do Democrats tolerate them?

Donald Trump is a boob. Hillary Clinton is a danger to America’s national security and economic health.
