Yes. Such an eloquent statement.

I saw on the live feed a group of people with a big electronic sign which said, “WE ARE NOT AFRAID.”

Heartening that was.

in contrast to the words of Ben Carson and Jeb Bush . . . .

Hillary understands. Paris is to cities what Beethoven’s symphonies or Ming vases are—an example of what humans can achieve. Terrorism is the opposite. But the vast majority rejects and despises that insanity. Paris and what it represents will remain when their stupidity and cruelty are forgotten.

I wish they had kept the Eiffel Tower lit for this very reason.

Now that’s what presidential sounds like.

And especially in contrast with the moronic and inflammatory comments of Ted Cruz. Ted might want to think about getting some facts before mouthing off.

In the meantime, Hillary gives yet one more example of leadership.

And Bamiyan. Different group, same mentality—mindless fanaticism. When they do that it cuts into the time they might have spent torturing and killing human beings, but if you have any regard for history or art or culture or the simple desire of people to leave something lasting behind, it’s just sickening.

It truly is sickening. I do agree and believe others who say that the arab countries need to get involved in taking down these people from the inside.

As some here know, I have my issues with the former SoS. I wasn’t a supporter and, quite frankly, I’m still not there yet.

Having said that, she is the ONLY one in this G*d forsaken presidential circus between the humans and the demons that can actually lead this country. Hands down. She can, and barring something extreme, WILL lead our country with respect and intelligence. She’ll have a monstrous fight on her hands no less than what our current POTUS has gone through. But she’s up to the task at hand. She’ll get my vote.

Nice. It’s amazing sometimes how strong a non-verbal message can be. They’ll appreciate that though. We don’t really have a city that means to the entire country what Paris means to the French.

The Democratic debate is on tonight on CBS, 9 p.m. ET. Perhaps by the end of it if you watch you’ll find more reason to support her, and I say that in all sincerity.
