It Takes A Village Idiot To Say Kids Belong To State
Investor's Business Daily ^ | April 9, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Family: An MSNBC contributor revisits the statist notion that while you gave birth to your children and feed and clothe them, they are only on loan to you by their true parent — a benevolent and all-knowing government.

Melissa Harris-Perry, an African-American professor at Tulane, has endorsed the concept of human ownership by the state, something we thought history would teach her is a bad thing, saying in a promo for MSNBC that "we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.

"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had a private notion of children; your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children," Harris-Perry opined.

Our children? It is an idea most famously expressed in recent years by Hillary Clinton in her 1990s best-seller, "It Takes A Village," but it is hardly a new idea.

Collectivists throughout history have said that children do and should belong to the state and that if you control the children, you control the future.

One well-known collectivist echoed such sentiments when he said, "Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state. The state will take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing. Your child belongs to us already... what are you?"

So said Adolf Hitler, who founded a sate-run youth group that bore his name.

When they say the kids don’t belong to the parent,, i wonder if she intends for ME to have an increased say in what her kids are taught?

Or is it only that SHE and her ilk get to indoctrinate mine?

These are Marxists speaking. They believe this stuff as deeply as anyone can imagine. It is at their core that the state should be supreme. Remember Hillary’s, It Takes a Village?

After Hitlery wrote her little book she went to Denver.

A group of us positioned ourselves in such a way that she could’nt miss us with our huge sign:

HILLARY IS THE VILLAGE IDIOT

I know I should not be but every day I am more amazed at how far they go. Each day brings at least one more sign that while we have been earning a living (asleep at the switch?)they have been undermining our country. I’m an old guy on the downward side of life and will probably not see the final transformation/showdown or how it will turn out. I weep for my country and all of our families that may never have the freedom that I have had.
I do not weep for those that have put us in this position.

Village Idiots. Describes the entire cast of MSNBC. It has gotten to the point when a thread about Tingles, Madcow or the other absurd morons who get a paycheck from MSNBC to say the most utterly absurd moronic thing, I won’t waste my time on them anyone. To me a MSNBC host is like a vile, nasty whore riddled with the most repulsive STDs. They are nasty, nasty people.

Melissa Hairy Parry says, “I don’t have any kids because I’ve had 17 abortions.” “But IF I had kids I would do like all those other girls that do have them and make OUR BROTHER in the WH PAY for them.”

[Art.] So said Adolf Hitler, who founded a sate-run youth group that bore his name.

Yeah .... one member later joined a Luftwaffe flak-artillery outfit and went on to become Pope.
