And your answer to this threat?
To invite us to elect a woman prepared to compromise on the issue of abortion, a woman who has, and will again for sure, presided over the blasting of foetuses from the stomachs of foreign women by high explosive and bullet.

Quote:You people have no idea what it is like for people from other countries to hear you boast and cheer for your guns and your bombs and your soldiers and your murderous military leaders and your war criminals and your murdering and conscienceless Commander in Chief. All those soaring words are received by the rest of us, by us non-Americans, by all the cells in our body, as absolutely repugnant and obscene.
And there you all are tonight, glued to your TVs and your computers, your hearts swelled with pride because you belong to the strongest country on Earth, cheering on your Murderer President. Ignorant of the entire world's repulsion. You kill and you kill and you kill, and still you remain proud.
We are fools.
What a damning and true couple of para's. "Ignorant of the whole world's revulsion" says it all really. Too preoccupied with their own fake exceptionalism to know or care.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
