Her early work on kids really was good. I am less convinced about the trafficking (cf the Featherstone book, False Choices). Midwest though is actually not that conservative and is generally great, although I am thinking primarily of prairies and plains when I say this. I am not a Clinton fan but I would consider Midwestern motherhood a positive overall and not a negative

Until we support those who are trying to reform Islam, and stop supporting those who push political Islam (aka “Islamism”) and are relied on by the Obama administration for outreach to the Muslim community, and until the former surpass the latter in number and voice, Islamist terror will continue. Here is a link to an article I wrote last month about efforts to have an Islamic reformation.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser is a proponent of an Islamic reformation in America and is quoted in the article linked above. A Canadian proponent of an Islamic reformation is also quoted at length. The Clarion Project, most of whose writers are Muslims, also tries to promote an Islamic reformation.
Presently, our Government is helping the wrong horse to win.

Orlando was an ISIS-inspired international act of terrorism by a loony, gay-hating wife-beater who, despite his demons and his guns, who never have come out the woodwork if he hadn’t believed himself to be on the winning side of history — and the promoter-in-chief of the deluded view that this was simply a domestic issue is none other than the United States Commander-in-Chief, who is determined to keep his head in the sand until he’s finally replaced in the coming Presidential election.
Whoever the next President is — the sociopathic demagogue Trump, or the equally unprincipled and sociopathic Hillary — is at least going to lead us into a major war with ISIS, because he/she realizes that there will be no choice.

The US hasn’t been able to defeat the sad old Taliban for decades. Why would it suddenly be able to defeat ISIS? The public is opposed to any massive military involvement and doesn’t want want to pay the price for going to actual war. It’s easy to blame Obama but he never had a mandate from the voters to intervene anywhere. Even the casualty-preventing drones are causing endless amounts of fretting. The public mood is enormously isolationist and the head in the sand is a collective one.

“the sociopathic demagogue Trump, or the equally unprincipled and sociopathic Hillary”
There you go again.
Hillary may be unprincipled but she’s unprincipled within the confines of political discourse. If she’s changed her mind, or fibbed about something, it’s what all (male) politicians do to survive. When Trump moves his lips he lies. He’s an abomination, raised by his KKK father to be a dumb, racist, sexist bully.
Equating an accomplished person like Clinton with the likes of Donald fucking trump in any way is a sign of a third rate mind. You do that all the time. You’re comparing the most qualified person to be President with — even by the pathetic Republican standards — the least qualified person to have ever run for President.
“They’re both unprincipled, let’s call it a draw!!”
What does that say about you?

If by this point in time people haven’t figured out what the differences between Hillary and Trump are, there is nothing anybody can say to help. This is the point where the issue has moved into the realm of strictly psychiatric. People are either not being honest about failing to see the difference or they are not in full control of their mental faculties.
People who are not terrified of a Trump presidency, no matter where they live, are not healthy. There isn’t anything to argue about here because the evidence is staring us all in the face.
