It Takes a Socialist Village

Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has unveiled her economic vision. Should she be given the power to implement it, we can say goodbye to the prosperity and opportunity we have enjoyed since the Reagan years.

In a speech at Manchester School of Technology in New Hampshire, Clinton said it's time to replace President Bush's "ownership society," which she called an "on your own" society, with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.

Clinton said she prefers a "we're all in it together" society: "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none."

Doesn't such a society already exist elsewhere? It's called socialism, where government has sought to make all things economically equal and the only equality is that all are equally poor. Wasn't defeating such a society precisely why we fought and won the Cold War? Why does Senator Clinton wish to embrace the principles of the losing side?

Clinton has merely updated the old and discredited (except among socialist dictators) Karl Marx saying: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

If Hitlery wins, should we Aussies prepare for an avalanche of refugees from the US???

Tell me a little more about this ‘newspeak’.

[goldstategop]

Hillary is a hard core true Leftist believer. Her husband was just a machiavellian politician who tried to be all things to all people. To the Left, Hillary is the real deal and that's exactly why every liberal interest group has lined up in a conga to bless her candidacy.

"we're all in it together" I always loved that tagline. It was a title for a college paper for IIRC Environmental Science or the like. It's not funny that much of what I was writing about has/is happening, like biofuels and global warming media spin. It was Pre-9/11 and the environment was paramount, we had a color coded weather alert system.

The phrase IIRC was used by Elites in both parties to push their respective agendas.

I never thought I would live long enough to see the day when a socialist campaigns on an openly socialist platform in America.

I am also amazed she and her ilk are not in prison - after all, it only takes a dutiful AG.

You can bet her tax shelters will be in place before she administers the Utopia Plan.

She is a socialist gun grabbing pig. She can’t take this nation away from us unless she can confiscate our firearms. If she truly intends to take this country into socialism she will end up with an armed revolt instead,
We will have to wait and see just how stupid and arrogant this witch really is.
I think I’ll be laying in a few more pounds of powder and another couple thousand bullets and primers.

Thanks for the invite. We must defeat her here, for once and for all!

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Socialists do not try to do it all at once but in increments. They won't take our firearms - at first, but pass laws to render more of the people un-eligible to own them and so many laws to regulate them that confiscation is not necessary. >p>Another tool socialists uses is social engineering techniques that make gun ownership "not cool" with works well on sheep.

Its early and I need more coffee.

Does a Swiss Bank account count as a tax shelter? :)

From Hillary’s own mouth:

http://www.libertyweekly.com/hildabeastboortz.html

” “The Democrats know what needs to be done. Again, we’re working trying to try push this agenda forward. The other day the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. I want to take those profits and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to fund alternative, smart energy; alternatives and technology that will begin to actually move us toward the direction of independence.”

[Baladas]

What she said sounds just like that other saying that starts with “To each his own...”, Hillary’s coming out of the broom closet named “Marx”.

If she truly intends to take this country into socialism

Sir:

Regret to inform you......

Take lessons from the past.

Sell all your stuff. Get real coin. Don't keep it on a bank account or safety deposit box.....to bribe the police when you cross the borders.

Leave early. Travel light.

Book passage to the Azores.

Teach the kids to sing and dance.

Exactly-stigmatize a certain behavior...it worked with smokers.
