Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-Cuba), speaking at a Democratic party fundraiser in San Francisco yesterday, was remarkably frank about the Democrats' intentions to use socialist redistribution policies if the party gains power after the November elections.

As reported by the Associated Press, Sen. Clinton said, "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

With her blunt statement, Sen. Clinton has drawn clear the difference between the two major parties: The Marxist Democratic party will "take things away from you on behalf of the common good" while the Republicans will defend your right to spend your money as you see fit because they know it's your money, not the government's.

Remember this during the long slog to the elections this year. The choice is clear: Marxism or freedom. Vote wisely.

The importance of her statement is the implication..clearly stated, that the assets do NOT belong to the people..

[William Terrell]

What arguments would those be, specifically?

[Truth29]

One problem is that nearly 1/2 of the electorate will agree with her statement and that percentage is increasing every year due to the importation of millions of illegal alien, low income, disadvantaged, future democrat voters along with the fruits of a liberal public school education that promotes a borderless world whereby anyone can come and be supported by the USA.

The NRST, because it is being promoted using fraud, misdirection and lies. Any program that depends on those tactics to sell it is not good. That's without getting into the details of its sections and clauses.

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." [Hillary Clinton, 1993]

"The common good comes before the private good." ~~ Nazi slogan.

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." [Hillary Clinton, 6-28-2004]

She just topped herself!!

Saved to my Hillary file.

The Marxist Democratic party will "take things away from you on behalf of the common good"

This part I agree with.

while the Republicans will defend your right to spend your money as you see fit because they know it's your money, not the government's.

This part I don't agree with.

Uh, does that mean that TerAYsa HeinzKerry will be worth only half a billion if Botoxboy gets in office? Inquiring minds want to know.

[JoeSixPack1]

while the Republicans will defend your right to spend your money as you see fit because they know it's your money, not the government's.

But once they get YOUR money into the state coiffers, they're going shopping at the same stores the rats go.

Good grief, the woman is a dyed-in-the-wool socialist who worshiped at the feet of Saul Alinsky. There WILL be a civil war if this shrew ever attains the presidency, or ever gets on the Supreme Court, or ever becomes Attorney General. She can do irreparable damage to America in either of those positions.

[prairiebreeze]

Beestie telling it like it will be, hang onto your wallets ping

[Mo1]

Hellary showing her true coloring again huh??

[Peach]

Already saved to my Hillary file which is so big it's basically unmanageable. LOL

[ought-six]

I have this to say to Hildabeast, the banshee shrew: Let's see you come and take it. Don't send your minions; don't send your gestapo. YOU come and try and take it!

[Mo1]

Beestie telling it like it will be, hang onto your wallets

The words of Saul Alinsky still alive in Hellary Clinton

With her blunt statement, Sen. Clinton has drawn clear the difference between the two major parties: The Marxist Democratic party will "take things away from you on behalf of the common good"

There is an alarming number of communitarian FReepers who feel that the benefit of "society" outweighs individual liberty.

[RichInOC]

GOP to Dems: "We're Going to Take Things Away From You on Behalf of the Common Good"

[MamaTexan]

YOU come and try and take it!

LOL! Do you really think her Hinney-ness would demean herself by getting anywhere close to us 'little people'?

[ought-six]

"I believe that Hillary Clinton would get ~50% of the vote if she ran. This nation is in a crises."

Can you say CW II? It's interesting that it was the Democrats in 1860 who supported slavery, and it was the Republicans who opposed it. Today, it is still the Democrats who support and advocate slavery (but this time, it's the government that is to be the slavemaster) and the Republicans oppose it. There is no doubt in my mind that if this hellish shrew ever attains the presidency, there will be a civil war. That is a given.

As has been pointed out by many others, the only difference between Communism and National Socialism was the emphasis on world-wide class (proletariat) vs national interest.

Absent those distinctions, the motivation of both was to subsume the individual in favor of the state (ie 'common good'). In fact, Hayek noted that Nazis recruited heavily from Communist ranks since the basic principles of totalitarianism were already accepted.
