Hillary: ‘Government Cannot and Should Not Control Any Individual's Life’ By Pete Winn May 16, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, told an assemblage of human rights and “civil society” activists gathered at the State Department Wednesday that “government cannot and should not” control the lives of individuals.

“(T)o make the case for civil society is really quite simple because government cannot and should not control any individual’s life – tell you what to do, what not to do,” Clinton said, taking part in a “Global Dialogue of Civil Society.”

Clinton said that any “sustainable society” must have three “legs” to stand on: an accountable government, a free-market economy, and civil society.

“The economy has to be in the hands of those who are the entrepreneurs and creative innovators,” she said. “But it is in civil society where we live our lives. That’s where our families are formed; that’s where our faith is practiced. That’s where we become who we are, through voluntary activities, through standing up for our common humanity. And so, as we see the explosion of civil society groups around the world, we want to support you.”

Civil Society is a buzzword for U.S. efforts to bring “social change” and “democracy” to countries of the world by working with “civil society activists” around the world.

Clinton drew on her own experience as a social activist to illustrate what the U.S. supports.

“I started my career working in civil society,” she said.

Sounds to me like she is campaigning for the big ticket...say what the people want to hear and all.

It's not too late for a Clinton/Wasserman-Schultz ticket, ya know?

But it is too late to be the first gay POTUS...shame.

What she means by "life" is what they do with their sex organs.

Everything else should be under government control, especially their earnings and property.

Government should not control individual lives.

Unless, of course, the individual lives are unwanted. Then it is dandy to kill them with tax dollars.

How can people look you straight in the face and tell you a lie—when they know, that you know, that it’s a lie.
