Hillary: ‘Government Cannot and Should Not Control Any Individual's Life’ By Pete Winn May 16, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, told an assemblage of human rights and “civil society” activists gathered at the State Department Wednesday that “government cannot and should not” control the lives of individuals.

“(T)o make the case for civil society is really quite simple because government cannot and should not control any individual’s life – tell you what to do, what not to do,” Clinton said, taking part in a “Global Dialogue of Civil Society.”

Clinton said that any “sustainable society” must have three “legs” to stand on: an accountable government, a free-market economy, and civil society.

“The economy has to be in the hands of those who are the entrepreneurs and creative innovators,” she said. “But it is in civil society where we live our lives. That’s where our families are formed; that’s where our faith is practiced. That’s where we become who we are, through voluntary activities, through standing up for our common humanity. And so, as we see the explosion of civil society groups around the world, we want to support you.”

Civil Society is a buzzword for U.S. efforts to bring “social change” and “democracy” to countries of the world by working with “civil society activists” around the world.

Clinton drew on her own experience as a social activist to illustrate what the U.S. supports.

“I started my career working in civil society,” she said.

No comment. Instead I'll have another drink.........

[crosshairs]

This is satire, right?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like Hillary isn’t into ObarryCare.

[GeronL]

wow. the hypocrisy.

[tomkat]

[freekitty]

Too bad she doesn’t believe this.

[Revolting cat!]

No way Hildegarde could of said that, all the “uhms” and “you knows” are missing!

[tet68]

“I started my career working in cattle futures,” she said.

[EGPWS]

wow. the hypocrisy.

Hillary: I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.....

Then:

Now:

[Carry_Okie]

Here she comes...

Just shocks the hell out of me.

[IrishPennant]

Sounds to me like she is campaigning for the big ticket...say what the people want to hear and all.

It's not too late for a Clinton/Wasserman-Schultz ticket, ya know?

But it is too late to be the first gay POTUS...shame.

[cblue55]

.....so she’s going to run against Obama?

[Lurker]

If this surprises you, raise your hand.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What she means by "life" is what they do with their sex organs.

Everything else should be under government control, especially their earnings and property.

[skeeter]

... or replace bumblin Joe Biden.

[garjog]

Government should not control individual lives.

Unless, of course, the individual lives are unwanted. Then it is dandy to kill them with tax dollars.

[Chode]

have another drink stooopid...

[Baynative]

Look at those MAN HANDS!

[Venturer]

How can people look you straight in the face and tell you a lie—when they know, that you know, that it’s a lie.

[IrishPennant]

No - she goes big or stays home...Look at her tricky dick hubby out stumping for the purple lipped prince while at the same time trashing Obamastan's economics...

the C'toons are up to something and I am thinking - really thinking since Obizmal is tanking, Soros is taking a time out and sending in the subs...

[Carry_Okie]

If this surprises you, raise your hand.

There's no other explanation for all the "Democrats fear Zero is unelectable" stories we've been seeing lately. The Bamster is doing the Slave Party equivalent of the RINO swan dive, on cue. I can't see Romnuts doing anything but taking a political powder under the circumstances. From 'first black President' to 'first woman President,' here we come. Sorry ladies, but I'm afraid that there are just too many women who would get all tingly about this for a squishy RINO pulling his punches in the name of chivalry to overcome. Hence, the media game will be to start by playing up 'Romney is mean.' He'll respond by trying to prove he's 'a nice guy.' Game over.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, really? This, from the woman who said “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good” in June of 2004?

[Jack Hammer]

Uh... did she run this by Premier Hussein?

There’s a definite difference of opinion (and policy) there.

[Lurker]

Yea....

[Secret Agent Man]

Hillary proves life is so much easier when you forget what you’ve done in the past.

[Chode]

oh yeah...

[Servant of the Cross]

Hillary in for Barry: Is that the Soros Plan?

[okie01]

Sorry ladies, but I'm afraid that there are just too many women who would get all tingly about this for a squishy RINO pulling his punches in the name of chivalry to overcome.

One problem with your scenario.

If the Democrat party gives the boot to "the first black president" -- in favor of "the first womean president" -- they will lose the black vote. Forever.

And, if the Democrat Party can't command 90% of the black vote, they will never win another election.

“(T)o make the case for civil society is really quite simple because government cannot and should not control any individual’s life – tell you what to do, what not to do,” Clinton said, taking part in a “Global Dialogue of Civil Society.”

Guffaw! A disciple of Alynski. What an odd, incongruous thing to say in a discussion of civil society. She's never believed that. With every fiber of her being, she has always lived and breathed as an unadulterated statist. A true believer. A subtle dance to the right during an election year? Trying to sound more centrist? Somebody contemplating an 11th-hour run for Pres?

[BitWielder1]

It means something entirely different when she says it.
Conservatives: Gov't should not make laws to take away my freedom, property and livelihood.
Liberals: Gov't should not make laws to curtail abortions, food stamps, handouts, benefits, affirmative action etc.

[Luke21]

Funny stuff.

[Sioux-san]

You got that right - wonder what the Hill is posturing for this time.

[MtnClimber]

That must have been said with a wink and a nod!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

O.O

Hillary? As in Queen Hillary the Bimbo Slayer? Vanquisher of Vincent Foster and Sworn Guardian of Prince Priapism?

SHE said this?

Someone needs to check the temperature in Hades, quick!

[Rocky]

Come on, you expect us to believe this?

She’s the one who said, “It takes a village.” She wants government to run every facet of our lives. She tried to get Obamacare going in her husband’s first term.

[CapnJack]

And her nose grew 10 feet after that comment.

What a laugh.

Controling people’s lives is what she dreams of every second of her miserable life.

[freekitty]

POTUS or UN

[livius]

Personally, I don’t think Romney has a chance, even against Obama. But I do think that the Democrats may simply be sick of Obama. A lot of his corporate fanciers have seen the cold light of day, I think his inept handling of the Afgahn situation and other foreign situations has alienated even a lot of Democrats, and it is pretty clear that Obamacare is not popular with anybody and will probably be overturned.

He is focusing on an increasingly narrower segment of the Democratic constituency, and while Hollywood and blacks may like him no matter what, the rest of the Dems are feeling a bit neglected. I think they would be very happy to replace him, particularly with Hillary. Hollywood would come around, blacks might not vote for Hillary but they certainly wouldn’t vote for the Republican either, and I think it would give the Democrats as a whole a chance to regroup and no longer feel the party was focused on just one group (blacks) with one program (redistribution of income) and one goal (government uber alles).

So personally, I don’t see this as an unlikely scenario at all.

"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices... Government has to make those choices for people" -- Cankles on HillaryCare!, as she said to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993

[StAnDeliver]

"You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building I work in. I'm going to start thinking of her as a human being?" - Cankles quoted in "The Case Against Hillary Clinton", by Peggy Noonan, p. 55

[Windflier]

If this surprises you, raise your hand.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll go ahead and raise my hand to Hillary.

[RitaOK]

Sounds like she’s running after all.

Soros gave the green light?

[Sun]

“Sounds like Hillary isn’t into ObarryCare”

With Hillarycare, she didn’t want people to use their OWN money for their OWN health, if it wasn’t in the insurance.

[Carry_Okie]

If the Democrat party gives the boot to "the first black president" -- in favor of "the first womean president" -- they will lose the black vote. Forever.

OTOH, if he steps down because of "birthers" and the Rats let him go for Hillary, not only will they still vote for the Slave Party, Zero may just get the insurrection he wants.

[weeweed]

Yes, but to Hillary and her ilk, there is no such thing as an “individual”, only the collective.....

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Sub-Driver. She's just another left wing liar.

Clinton said that any "sustainable society" must have three "legs" to stand on: an accountable government, a free-market economy, and civil society.

To maintain civility, we need the 1st Amendment (which is why the left pushes for "hate speech" and "zero tolerance") and the 2nd Amendment (which follows right behind the 1st because some people are hard of hearing).

[Uncle Miltie]

Hillary! RomneyCare/ObamaCare!

The government has claimed rights to 100% of your earnings. You are a slave! Your boss did it. He patterned his plan after the Republican Nominee!

We’re so screwed.

[Uncle Miltie]

“But it is in civil society where we live our lives. That’s where our families are formed; that’s where our faith is practiced”

But 0bama’s ‘Julia’ doesn’t need anything but the suckling teat of Government!
