Hillary advocates more Socialism
Well she never said the "S" word, but there is only one facet of government that fits her descriptions and wishes.
Finally, she is showing her true colors.
Hat Tip Hot Air.

I got an email today with an article by Raymond S. Kraft in it. The article a historical perspective making a kind of comparison of WW2 and now, in how we handle war, the threats and some historical perspective. It's very long and I do not have the resources to totally validate the facts or the timeline. I am certain it is mostly accurate, but zI make no prepresentatoins beyond that.
I have to also note some comments here and there pointing out accuracy problems, but at the same time, some of those commentors were complaining that the Evil Bankers orchestrated Pearl Harbor, so if I fail to take some of them seriously, you know why.
In reading it, it occurs to me that we love to make comparisons. The left compares Iraq to Vietnam, whereas some on the right compare it to WW2.
Both are right and wrong in some cases, it mostly depends on what they are trying to prove with their comparison.
For example, the left points out the Vietnam comparison to prove we have a hopeless war we cannot win, and the public no longer supports it. The resonating lingering bitterness of a generation of hippies and war protesters has a new campaign and it clearly shows.
They are right, it is like Vietnam, but not how they think. It is like it because we do not enable our troops to win, politicians demogogue the issue beyond the realities, and the public has taken a beating of negative reporting, resulting in a feeling of distaste, which is not surprising.
It is not like Vietnam in that we are not aligned with one side of an internal power struggle. We invaded and displaced the government. This is not the commies moving in, and us trying to push them out.
But, it is like Vietnam because the left wants us to lose, and are working hard to make us quit, just like Vietnam,
My honest question lately has been "do you want us to win?" and few have taken the challenge on it from the left.
