Laura Wood has the following responses to readers' reactions to her endorsement of Donald Trump:
Susan-Anne White, from Northern Ireland:
I cannot understand why you are recommending that your American readers vote for Donald Trump. To say that this is hypocritical on your part is an understatement.Laura Wood:
It’s not hypocrisy. It’s realism.We keep forgetting (or get side-tracked from remembering) just how bad Hillary Clinton and the "Clinton Machine" really is in this brouhaha.
Let’s say you lived in a neighborhood ruled by two rival gangs. There is no hope in the immediate future, outside of a miracle, of ridding the neighborhood of gangs.
One gang leader recruits children as prostitutes and randomly torches houses to terrorize and instill fear. The other gang leader promotes the drug trade and kills his enemies, but does not present the same threat of imminent physical harm to children and non-criminal elements in the neighborhood.
They are both evil. But there is a lesser evil. Supporting the second one does not mean you endorse crime. Similarly, we only have two viable candidates. That’s it. If we support one who is seemingly less dangerous than the other, we are choosing a lesser evil not endorsing evil itself.
"If Hillary wins, Bill Clinton will be the first First Lady who’s a rapist." - Laura Wood
It is also interesting that the commentator Susan-Anne White is from Northern Ireland. She doesn't have to live with a (another) Clinton - nepotistic this time - rule.
The same thing happened in Canada. The media and his own party turned on Stephen Harp and in came Trudeau Jr. (nepotism if ever there was one) and this is what we got:
From an email I sent to a friend:
Trudeau, the lisping liberal, won the federal elections. He is married to a French-speaking Quebec woman, and I wonder what language they speak at home? I think it is French. Poor English Canada, with enemies from all sides. It was a depressing outcome, but then again, we will now have up front everything that the liberals want (or dream of). One of which is to advance the agendas of the "new" Canadians, by which they mean the Third World ethnic Canadians.
Harper, in one of his speeches, used "Old Stock" Canadians, by which he meant the English, Scottish, Irish, and even French (Quebec) conservative Canadians. I don't think it was a slip, and he meant it as a contrast to what we're seeing now, which is an ethnic, non-white, liberal population, which mostly came to Canada in the mid-twentieth century, around the 1970s, and which are majority populations in several Canadian cities, and even suburbs.
This actually goes some ways to prove my thesis that Mississauga [a suburb city of Toronto] has become a Third World enclave, a part of which is Muslim.
I said recently that we should look for the next suicide bomber/jihadi in Canada to come from Mississauga.
My work is cut out for me. Now, I know I am really separate, from my family and "friends."
I expect there will be a further exodus of whites away from here into the surrounding small towns (those racist towns...), and let Mississauga deteriorate as would a Third World city. Already, in my building, the majority, I should really say ALL, the residents are Indians or Chinese. And appliances and elevators are always breaking down. The cardboard wall separating rooms magnify conversations (Chinese or Indian) and Jeopardy TV shows. The building s showing wear and tear despite the being relatively new. I see a few elderly whites who were lured here as an ideal place for retirees. They always look bewildered, and are uncharacteristically silent in the elevators, where it is Canadian manners to at least say hello. I think they are also beginning to leave, as other whites also left in droves.
