We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights, Governments are constituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed. . . .
Robert Reich espouses that which is euphemistically termed "secular humanism", just down the street from dialectical materialism aka godless communism.
In Reich's world, the sky is red, there is neither Heaven nor Hell, no absolute good or evil, and--this is important now--the highest arbiter of morality is the state.
Recently Hillary Rodham Clinton told an audience that "we will take your tax cut for the common good". The determiner of her "common good" is the elite Left, what Marx and Lenin termed the dictatorship of the proletariat.
In Communist China today it is dangerous to the risk of disappearance and death to be religious. Christians, Muslims, even the harmless Falun Gong meditators are arrested, tortured, beaten, executed as enemies of the state.
So it is with Robert Reich and Hillary Rodham Clinton: those who recognize and obey a higher power than the state are themselves enemies of the state.
It is no coincidence that the co-presidency of William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton armed the Chinese Communist regime with our missile and warhead secrets.
The Chicoms funded the Clintons' re-election.
In 1997 a Chinese Communist official praised Hillary Rodham Clinton as a textbook-perfect example of propagandist, total obfuscation behind bland phrases.
From the late Barbara Olson we know that Hillary's sealed Wellesley thesis was a paean to Saul Alinsky radical counselling, "Tell any lie for power."
Now Hillary is allied with and funded by George Soros multi-billionaire who has sworn to destroy our president and bring down our nation.
Reich is merely a little troll toiling in Hillary's ministry of propaganda, preparing the day when she can bulldoze the churches and become the glorious leader.
To such marxists religion is the opiate of the masses.
To them the highest power is the state, that is, the tyrant who dictates using the empty phrases all tyrants use.
And Reich is doing his part--he may be short, but he's tall enough to kiss Hillary's ass.
Good post Phil, I never realized Reich was so anti religion. This war has already started and people better wake up.
Reich always struck me a a little weasel.
A fine post, Phil!
