Too bad she turned a blind eye when Saudi Arabia, one of the greatest abusers of women's rights, was contribributing millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for weapons used to bomb Yemen into the Stone Age.

What does it matter what the Saudis do... it is for them to decide their own fate and choose their own morality... this idea that all people in the world wish to live as you do is arrogant and naive... many wish to oppress to control and deprive their people of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness... indeed England tried to do it to you... those are true and good values but they are your values... to interfere in the politics of the world on the side of righteousness is as naive as I was when I saved a woman one night from being beaten by her man outside a bar...after I knocked him to the ground... she began screaming don't hurt my husband.. you see the lost must find their own way.. they neither require nor desire your help... and if they live or if they die it is their own destiny and they will never acknowledge nor thank you for your benevolent concern and protection... so why bother with the lost.... it is the dominion of god and their own free will to determine their own destiny or die.

It matters when a former Secratary of State, slated to be the next POTUS has portrayed herself as proponant of global women's rights, is corrupt af, and involved in a pay to play relationship w a foreign govt, and is using the pretense of a charitable organization to operate a slush fund to enrich herself and her family.

It matters to those of us whose interests extend beyond the confines of our own borders and are genuinely concern about the oppressed, dispossessed, and marginalized, not only in this country, but in others.

It matters when socially regressive proponents of ideological individualsm define freedom in an equally regressive manner, as freedom to oppress, and equate freedom with with tyrrany in a decidedly Orwellian fashion.

It matters when ppl in the middle east, like the Yemenese, are attempting to liberate themselves from tyranny, and powerful political interests who are susceptible to corruption are arming our allies to wage war w their neighbors to decimate them for fear of liberation spilling across the border.

It matters when we and our allies arm and train Saudi and Syrian terrorists from Osama bin Laden, to Al Queda and ISIS to fight our proxy wars, then become the victims of terrorism ourselves, and use those acts as a pretext for foreign intervention which precipitates further blowback against the US.
