The opening sentence said, "Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is one of the most important, yet undiscussed issues of the 2016 election." Most important? Undiscussed? If an opening sentence is meant to set the tone, that one certainly did.

It's something that has dogged Hillary since it came to light and has brought up in multiple debates. It's an issue that is consistently trumped up by conservative news outlets. It's an issue that sounds scary but has no reason to be currently seen as a legitimate issue because there hasn't been anything released to warrant it. That is, unless you think her judgement is seriously an issue in this matter (nevermind that it's a precedent only in a qualified way).

Further, I don't really think this forum needs to seriously engage and deconstruct every rear end in a top hat that makes what is essentially a long post on these here forums except somewhere else.

That's taking a circumscribed data set (17th-20th century Europe) that can't be extrapolated to anything other than that era. It is not a theory of IR, it's a theory of explaining that era and geography only.

You can 100% be a supporter of vastly expanded civil rights, economic equality, and other progressive positions while supporting the US in a naïve 'Terran Republic' wistfulness, also the lack of WWI repeats.

This sums it up pretty well, atleast I support the notion when progressives are in charge of the military murder machine because I feel it is wielded with an amount of subtlety, but conservatives treat it as a cudgel for all situations. Every slight to national image or prestige is immediately followed a lustful cheer for war, it is terrifying I admit.

There were a few opinion articles written by liberals that talked about how they disagreed with him but he was such an amazing opinion writer and oh so funny that we should respect him and such. That irritated me a lot more than the stupid Republicans that just were happy he did their bidding since at least those jerks were being sincere.

Crowder spends his time much like Jesse Waters, Milo, and the other "young conservatives" on the internet spend their time.

They go to some big city and try to act outraged about something the people there really don't care about so that assholes on their computers can feel better about their lovely opinions. Trouble is, people like O'Keefe and Chuck C Johnson take it to the next level and try to destroy lives in their quest for clicks.

No. Some things are important and classified right away. Other things that aren't really important get classified later, so that they can't be released with FOIA requests.

Clinton had emails that were not classified at the time, but a few months later were marked classified by other agencies.

The ironic thing about this is that the state department email system was hacked from outside, Chelsea Manning took files from the inside, and a security error made state department employee personal information and email accounts briefly public.

That means Hillary's closet server was the only piece of State Department affiliated hardware that was never compromised in any way.

I don't know man, this is a weird post. Reading through it, I get this sense of jittery panic behind the words like I'm about to get told that jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams.

I should note that "every rear end in a top hat" is just a layman's term because I am uncouth in a small town sort of way (as that's how I grew up and the Navy certainly didn't dispel it) and you're right I should probably be better at that.
