Jones took from Hillary's study of his good works, adding this important insight: "She is very much the sort of Christian who understands that the use of power to achieve social good is legitimate."

That's scary. So is Christianity Astray trying to help Hillary out now?

they had lengthy, increasingly serious discussions. "She was curious," says Jones. "She was just insatiable."

I dunno... insatiable teenage girl frequently visiting youth pastor's office?

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!! Christ taught us all that we should give willingly. Give to the state what is the states, but give willingly. A forced or coerced giving is not giving at all.

How is this, in practice, any different to Islam and it's political/religious intertwining?

He “embraced her?” Hm, and what did she do to him?

I wouldn’t put anything past Hillary.

Surprised that she wasn’t a follower of Marxist Jim Jones of Jonestown massacre fame. One of her Communist Party lawyer friends was, Charles R. Gary, along with another attorney and CPUSA supporter, if not member, Mark Lane.

Yes, Hillary really knows how to pick her mentors. Alinsky (I’ve met him); Gary (I met his buddy Kunstler); Soros (may he drop dead yesterday); Morton Halperin (not on our side); Johnetta Cole (a Castro propagandist and possible DGI operative); Rev. Benjamin Chavis (once a UCC Christian; then a Black Moslem under Calypso Louie) and a VP of a major CPUSA front, the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression). And the list goes on!!

“Christianity Astray”! Ha - I love it! That’s about the funniest thing I’ve read in a week. It’s the magazine for those who think “The Message” is Scripture. Good grief.

Social good is like pudding; you have to be outside the bowl to see it.

May the real God protect us from bastards like Hillary and Jones.

Interesting article.
The Reverend Don Jones really invested a lot in philosophical exploration with the young Hillary.

Funny, he never mentioned Jesus once in the article. Not once.

That’s the man who said, “No man comes to The Father but by men.”

"She was bi-curious," says Jones. "She was just insatiable."

For a couple of years starting when Clinton was 13, Jones tutored her and about 60 other teenagers every Sunday and Thursday night on e.e. cummings and T.S. Eliot, Dostoyevsky and Bob Dylan. He called his lessons "the University of Life."

In January 1963, Hillary Rodham went with her youth minister into Chicago to hear a southern black minister who was seen as a dangerous "rabble-rouser" by the middle-class white society of Park Ridge: Martin Luther King Jr.

Hillary was 15. The minister, Don Jones, did not ask permission from the parents of the 20 children he shepherded, and Hillary probably did not dare ask her father, who surely would have seen such a trip as going over the wall. "I wanted them to become aware of the social revolution that was taking place," says Jones. "Here was the major leader of that movement, a Protestant preacher, coming to town. It was an opportunity for them to meet a great person."

Quite a guy, this fellow Jones. More stuff about Jones.

I wonder what kind of ‘pastor’ considers defending partial birth infanticide as ‘social good’? God have mercy upon us ...

As a minister, maybe one of the “Ten Commandments” should have taken greater hold in guiding her political career.

THOU SHALL NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S GOODS

Seems when she talks about taking things from us for the common good that she looked over that pesky little Commandment of God’s. :-)

Has her holiness begun carrying a 10-pound Bible under her arm at campaign stops yet?

“Jones had her read Tillich, Niebuhr, Soren Kierkegaard, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and they had lengthy, increasingly serious discussions.”

My, what a precocious 13 year old to be able to understand these philosophers! (sarc) How many more of these stories about Hillary the Wunderkind are we going to have to endure??
