Re: [Oe List ...] Salmon: Clinton's relationship to E.I. - Dear Susan
Trump was never my choice, and Hillary is a criminal--her vision for the country is my first nightmare. And Trump is just as flawed. Both of them scare me to death. But neither if the other candidates is really an option either. I fear we're about to see this great American experiment in democracy become something no less evil than the many kleptocracies around the world.

Historical perspective: After Andrew Jackson’s election (similar level of frustrations), he was responsible for the actions leading to the genocidal ‘Trail of Tears’ and ‘Trail of Death.’ He refused to accept the Supreme Court’s finding that the expulsions were unconstitutional. And the republic survived. But many Native Americans didn’t. This great experiment has its dark side in the governmental support of the KKK following Reconstruction, another act of populism. We aren’t pure, we haven’t avoided evil in the past and likely won’t in the future. But we’re still here. We’re still struggling with the incredible level of power in our hands, and do great damage even when we intend great good. Our greatest danger is believing that there is a wish dream worth idealizing rather than realities to address.

I keep asking, but still have not seen, one shred of verifiable evidence to substantiate the charge that Hillary has committed a criminal act of any sort. She's made serious mistakes like with the private server, she has not been as transparent as she could and perhaps should have been, she got paid a lot of money for some speeches (but less than some men), she's flip-flopped on some positions she's taken like on TPP, she has a super-healthy ego (an asset for a man but a huge liability for a woman in our culture), she didn't play nice when she was First Lady trying to get health care passed, as Secretary of State she traveled the world and spoke truth to power like the Premier of China, and after much gut-wrenching deliberation and prayer she chose to stay true to her vow to her husband of "for better or worse" through "worse." And to add insult to injury, she decided to run to be the first woman in the Office of President of the United States. How dare she. Despise her for all those things and hate all her positions on the issues, but don't accuse her of being a criminal unless you have some rock solid proof that hours and years and millions of dollars worth of hearings, investigations and witch hunts by scores of government agencies, news media and nondescript malcontents have been unable to produce. I've heard the rumors, innuendos, exaggerations, conjecture, gross distortions and outright lies, everything but verifiable truth. Got any? Then let's have it. But double check your sources before you put it out there because there really are some malingering, deplorable liars afoot in the land and a lot of fools are believing them and then repeating what they heard them say and calling it truth, and it just isn't.

Surely you would agree that Donald Trump is an out and out racist, sexist, homophobe, parochial narcissist and most of all a climate change denier? HRC is none of the above. Thankfully, she is responsive to both Bernie and to Elizabeth. We may get out of this mess yet.
Your phrase: "only values I see are abject greed, a pathological allegiance to lies, and arrogant flaunting of her ability to circumvent the law. She has done absolutely nothing to improve the lives of the poor and disadvantaged yet claims she has in the face of all evidence to the contrary.” is really the truth that the world sees about Trump.
I would invite you to see all that as a projection.
Should Trump take ownership of any of the above, that would be a fine moment of grace. Would you not agree?
Margaret Atwood, (a Canadian poet, novelist, literary critic, essayist, and environmental activist) describes America in the midst of a Salem type witch hunt. I agree. It is, at the bottom a war against women.
While there are indeed my contradictions in American society that both the Republican and Democratic administrations must answer for, the attached article came closest - for me - in describing how the Republican voice has committed itself to an ‘end game’ and it would seem that indeed, the GOP will ‘end’.
Love and best wishes to you, Susan and to all Trump supporters who have been left without any vision other than rebellion or depression.
We are all responsible. Everyone.
Ken in Canada.

Mrs. Hillary Clinton: It is my prayer that this reaches you concerning your experience in 5th City, Chicago, or it could have been in Evanston. Your Youth Director, Don Jones, must have been at a training event to become known as RS-I. About the same time, a large number of us dedicated ourselves to this renewal movement that grew from our experience in Chicago Ghetto to literally embrace the world. It makes me wonder if your experience under his leadership influenced the values you hold dear, and now wish to step onto the platform of the Presidency to do for our United States and for the world what was embraced by the courageous citizens in 5th City. You carry my prayers during this last turbulent week. You have my vote. Grace and Peace, Pastor William E. Salmon 744 So. 10th Salina, KS 67401 wsalmon@cox.net <mailto:wsalmon@cox.net>

She's made serious mistakes like with the private server, she has not been as transparent as she could and perhaps should have been, she got paid a lot of money for some speeches (but less than some men), she's flip-flopped on some positions she's taken like on TPP, she has a super-healthy ego (an asset for a man but a huge liability for a woman in our culture), she didn't play nice when she was First Lady trying to get health care passed, as Secretary of State she traveled the world and spoke truth to power like the Premier of China, and after much gut-wrenching deliberation and prayer she chose to stay true to her vow to her husband of "for better or worse" through "worse." And to add insult to injury, she decided to run to be the first woman in the Office of President of the United States. How dare she. Despise her for all those things and hate all her positions on the issues, but don't accuse her of being a criminal unless you have some rock solid proof that hours and years and millions of dollars worth of hearings, investigations and witch hunts by scores of government agencies, news media and nondescript malcontents have been unable to produce. I've heard the rumors, innuendos, exaggerations, conjecture, gross distortions and outright lies, everything but verifiable truth. Got any? Then let's have it. But double check your sources before you put it out there because there really are some malingering, deplorable liars afoot in the land and a lot of fools are believing them and then repeating what they heard them say and calling it truth, and it just isn't.

Trump was never my choice, and Hillary is a criminal--her vision for the country is my first nightmare. And Trump is just as flawed. Both of them scare me to death. But neither if the other candidates is really an option either. I fear we're about to see this great American experiment in democracy become something no less evil than the many kleptocracies around the world.

Also I stand firm in ny admiration which never ceases, of this woman who has continued in spite of the unbelievable accusations which are so blown up out of the real world of truth and honesty that it is cause for seriously asking "Why?". Why the hell bent mission to destroy a solid vision for this nation and this planet? There is no other candidate who shines so brightly and qualified to be an example for our children and grandchildren at this time. Rightly so.

I traveled in the UK (visited Schrijens and Heckmans), The Netherlands (Utrecht summer school), Russia (our Russian friends), Poland (a pilgrimate of sorts to meet church-rlated colleagues) and the Baltic nations (a RoadScholar study tour) this summer. Burna taught in China, then joined me from Poland onward. All of the people with whom I had a intimate enough conversation to lighten up and get real asked about Trump. Their query was accompanied by the question: “Has American gone mad?” In the fray of the last year, it’s become clear to me that I have become what Europeans might call a “social democrat.” The countries and cultures that I admire most include the Scandinavian nations and Canada. I’d have to rummage around for the statistics that document well being and happiness for the others out there. I’m heading toward the observation that advanced societies around the world are generous with their citizens, especially to their poorer, ill, mentally disturbed, and criminal citizens. They provide education, health care, safety nets, rehabilitation, and other services that help people stay on their feet and well enough to evolve. They pay the price in high taxes, but they reap the benefit in levels of security, human and economic development, and happiness. The bottom line for me is pretty straight forward: which candidate shares my vision for a just and generous society that cares for 100% of its citizens and gives everyone an opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve? Bernie Sanders touched some of these value points, but seemed an unlikely candidate. Donald Trump would take us in exactly the wrong direction. Hillary Clinton, faults notwithstanding, might buy us time to head in the right direction—right defined as equal employent opportunity, comprehensive health care and education, and a safety net that doesn’t let anyone fall through the cracks. An instructive aside from a trip several years ago. When we crossed the border between Russia and Finland, we could palpably the psycho-social climate change. Burna and I felt relief. We relaxed. The countryside was suddenly neater, the train stations suddenly fresher, the cities suddenly newer, and the people overwhelmingly more helpful, more open, more responsive, and, it appeared to us both, happier. There was a lesson in this about what makes a society sustainably healthy. It’s complicated. America isn’t quite there yet, and this election will set the direction for quite a while. There is a world of hurt and painfully intractable contradictions. But I’ve experienced several societies whose shared vision I identify with and would really like to emulate. Sigh. David
