It takes a socialist village . . .
Washington Times ^ | 6-1-07 | 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, Mrs. 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. Mrs. 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 Mrs. Clinton wish to embrace the principles of the losing side?

Mrs. 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."

Well, there’d still be a few elites who’d receive special privileges and lots and lots of money. Dems, Libs. Amazingly, the MSM has decided that everyone knows about Hill’s cheating, lying, stealing, so it’s old news and doesn’t matter. MSNBC panelists came right out and admitted this last night on Chris Matthews. She’s being given a pass on everything.

OK FOLKS, HOW ABOUT A SERIOUS QUESTION?

Exactly WHO is going to call her on it, besides the Republican candidate? (Which won’t be reported)

Do you SERIOUSLY think that today’s media, run by the “Gay Mafia” is going to?

Hell, CNN’s “Independent” Pollster is paying to fly her around in a Gulfstream, for chrissakes!

I think the quote you are "remembering" is actually....

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"......

It was, though the pigs who came up with it...!

Ha!

“I believe our government can once again work for all Americans.”

I don’t want the government working for me. They charge me too much as it is for the things THEY AREN’T DOING.
