I wouldn't call adolf hitler a corporal. adolf hitler was looked up to. he was revered almost like a god because he was feared. adolf hitler took all of europe, and my generation had to confront adolf hitler.

The second type you have at these parades seems to be the people who want to mislabel hitler. everybody in the world is hitler. bush is hitler, ashcroft is hitler, rumsfeld is hitler. the only guy who isn't hitler is the foreign guy with a mustache dropping people who disagree with him into the wood chipper. he's not hitler.

If some people keep saying that the press is still not free in turkey, then i would like to say this: there has been a coup attempt in turkey. and there are people siding with the coup plotters. and there are - there is also media outlets that have been against - that are against the coup attempt. so my question is that against the media that supported the coup, will the turkish justice, judicial system, not take any steps? of course it will.

In latin america, in the past, it was almost impossible to guarantee democracy. there were military dictatorships, and nowadays there are not so many military dictatorships. although we have a dictator in honduras, as a result of a coup, now as a president, he is almost the only one i would say. but again led or managed, gestated by the u.s. government.

The moral case is, people say, "oh they're not ready for democracy," but that's something someone who lives in a democracy would say about someone who doesn't live in a democracy. well, if democracy is the highest form of human potential, then it can't be true for us and not for them. but, the practical case is democracies don't invade their neighbors. democracies don't traffic in child soldiers. democracies don't harbor terrorists as a state policy. so there's a reason to have more democratic states.

Fear can be one of the most destructive emotions. it is, of course, also very important, in that fear sometimes stops you from doing stupid things. but it can also stop you from doing creative or exciting or experimental things. it can cloud your judgement of others, and lead to all kinds of evil. the control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.

Hillary's never been anything but the smartest woman in the world. i've talked about this i don't know how many times. i know republicans and conservatives scared to death of this woman, scared to death. and it isn't because they think she's not sophisticated. it isn't because they think she's stupid. but she gets into trouble enough or she fails enough, like when she does poorly in a primary, what do they chalk it up to? sexism, like don lemon did. sexism.
