It Takes a Socialist Village
Townhall.com ^ | 31 May 2007 | Cal Thomas

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."

"it worked with smokers."

Not exactly.

I think the smoking issue is more like the last straw. People are starting to open their eyes and think, "Whats next? My choice of car? My cooking oil? Gambling?

Time will tell.

She can’t take credit for this!!! Karl Marx should sue for plagarism.

They are feeling their oats. They believe that merica loves them and they can now finally speak honestly about what they really want to do.

I’m checking out properties in and around Brisbane as I write...

And as a back up, I’m also looking between Albany and Warkworth in EnZed.

If Hillary or Hussein Obama is in, I’m out.

It's "Fighting" Bob LaFollette a former Republican who founded the Progressive Party in 1924.

Clinton's remarks came before students at a school whose purpose is to train high school kids for careers in the construction, automotive, graphic arts and other industries. She told them, "We have sent a message to our young people that if you don't go to college . . . that you're thought less of in America. We have to stop this."

Many of who will most likely be of voting age come next year

Hillary hates the military and that feeling is reciprocated by that same military. It could be an interesting time for her six or seven months in the presidency.

Hillary is only the megaphone for this dangerous group of people among us.

If Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were alive today, they be saying, "LOCK n' LOAD!"

This is 1984. George Bush is the Democrats Emmanuel Goldstein.

Now we know why the RATS want to rid us of the second amendment. It is the only thing standing in the way of their utopian society.

Term Limits Now!!!

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

I think it was back in the 30's during the hight of the depression that the Communist/Socialists openly ran a candidate.He failed miserably largely due to the fact that an acceptable Socialist by the name of Roosevelt was already at the helm.
