Since Star Wars quotes are in vogue, let me offer one...

There seems to be a lot of anger among the Sanders brigade about Hillary Clinton...

“Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will

...I would offer: "Anger is a gift"

In the face of gross injustice, anger is appropriate and is a great motivation to action. True, it can be dangerous if not channeled properly, but it can be a great source of power when righteously employed.

So, we're just supposed to stand by while warmongering and corporate corruption swallows up our government, with Hillary at the helm leading the way?

The Resistance fought the dark side with everything they had, to restore balance. That's not anger. That's doing the right thing.

Why don't you leave the Star Wars quotes and analogies to people who really get the essence of those movies. Or maybe start with IV: A New Hope, and work your way through. You just might learn something.

And here's a hint--the warmongering neocons are sociopaths who have no problem murdering innocent men, women and children in the Middle East--in order to pilfer the resources in that region and dominate that part of the world for geopolitical purposes. One of Hillary's trusted advisors while she was SOS, is prolific neocon Robert Kagan, one of the founders of the PNAC movement. He praises Hillary's foreign-policy stances.

I can assure you, that group is about as dark and devoid of conscience as humans get.

Please, step away from Star Wars references.
