Hillary Clinton: Europe "needs to limit migration" to stop right-wing populism

Hillary's frank advice to European leaders: stop the rise of right-wing populists then get a handle on your immigration crisis. She said migrants and refugees that have flooded into the EU since 2015 have thrust immigration into the spotlight and fueled the rise of global hardline leaders.....she praised Germany's Angela Merkel for her compassion, and cautioned that countries can’t leave the door open forever.

“Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton said regarding the rise of right-wing populists like Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. “Europe must send a very clear message – ‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’ – because it will continue to roil the body politic.”

Germany, Greece and Italy have argued that other nations throughout the region need to share the burden. But central and eastern Europe countries have refused to help out. Migration numbers have dropped precipitously from their height in 2015.

Clinton was interviewed along with former British PM Tony Blair and former Italian PM Matteo Renzi. The two both agreed with Clinton’s statement that the immigration issue was directly responsible for fueling the populist trend. “You’ve got to deal with the legitimate grievances and answer them, which is why today in Europe you cannot possibly stand for election unless you’ve got a strong position on immigration because people are worried about it,” Blair said. “You’ve got to answer those problems. If you don’t answer them then … you leave a large space into which the populists can march.”

Clinton said, “People don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.”--snip--more at web site

What business is it of Hillary’s? European countries are free to elect their own leaders. Perhaps leaders that stand for the sovereignty of their own nations wouldn’t be likely to donate to that wonderful world wide charity known as The Clinton Foundation.

“People don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.”

Today’s leftism in a nutshell. This covers their concept of government and also covers the policy of today’s media.

That’s rich coming from someone who planned on importing more Muzzie “refugees” than even Hussein Obama did.

“Migration should not be governed by an international body unaccountable to our own citizens. “Ultimately, the only long-term solution to the migration crisis is to help people build more hopeful futures in their home countries. Make their countries great again.” (Donald Trump)

Truer words were never spoken. Common sense at last.

Just a lot of hot air......100% head fake.

The quote that defines HRC’s view of governance.

Worse, I bet about 25% of the US population agrees with her statement, and about 70% of democraps do as well.

She, and those like her, are the reason for the Second Amendment.

Hillary Clinton: Europe "needs to limit migration" to stop right-wing populism

Why does Hillary say this?

Because it can slow down or even reverse the ultra-left agenda.

• Not because it has negative impact.

• Not because it changes a nation's culture.

• Not because the citizens oppose it.

• Not because the working citizens can't afford it.

The only thing Hillary is concerned with (other than grafting huge sums of money for herself) is advancing socialist/communist Globalism

“Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,”

Doesn’t Clinton seem to understand that if we (U.S.) and Europe had “a handle” on the immigration invasion that the political right would be happier and the left would be weaker?
In the U.S., the Democrats have finally been exposed to citizens of color. They seem to be abandoning the left in order to leave the plantation. The left needs the needy immigrants and now (in Florida) convicted felons to keep the American Patriots out of office.

What makes Hillary so dangerous is she has no allegiance whatsoever to principles of any kind. She will shift on a dime with the political wind change to suit her political ambitions.

[subterfuge]

I appreciate your posts, I just can’t care about anything Lyin’ Hillary says. Anything she says is lies and propaganda.

Too many of the Old Guard want the Revolution to happen in their lifetimes - they aren't willing to stick with The Plan.

Clinton said, “People don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.”

Precisely what the Country wishes for you, to be managed by Prison Guards!!

Socialist/communist Globalism indeed her party’s agenda has been working on it for 50 years and most of the democrat voters take the bait every time.
Scamers are all over the place they know the supply of chumps are unlimited.

Her full quote from a separate Guardian article is something worth bookmarking and requires a bit of comment/refutation:

“A significant part of the problem here is people’s desire for a leader that is going to just push through change without regard to political pressures, you know, that ‘getting things done’ mentality.”

Clinton said rightwing populists in the west met “a psychological as much as political yearning to be told what to do, and where to go, and how to live and have their press basically stifled and so be given one version of reality.

“The whole American system was designed so that you would eliminate the threat from a strong, authoritarian king or other leader and maybe people are just tired of it. They don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.

“I don’t know why at this moment that is so attractive to people, but it’s a serious threat to our freedom and our democratic institutions, and it goes very deep and very far and we’ve got to do a better job of shining a light on it and trying to combat it.”

Now, to give the witch her due, the first paragraph's sentiment is true. However, she projects that sentiment on the right when in reality it exists on the left. Remember Woody Allen wishing that we could have an Obama dictatorship and all the freakish videos of children repeating pro-Obama propaganda, or Obama's treatment of Fox (the only non-left media outlet of substance during his Admin)? Thus, like all shrews manipulators, she mixes some truth amidst the fakery.

This mixing happens in the third and fourth paragraphs as well. However, in her zeal and anger she unintentionally reveals how the Founders' intent for the "American system ...(to) eliminate the threat from a strong, authoritarian king or other leader" actually helped defeat her in 2016. In reality, we aren't "tired of it but we put it in to action.

I give you... Federalist #10:

AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail, therefore, to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it...

It must be confessed that in this, as in most other cases, there is a mean, on both sides of which inconveniences will be found to lie. By enlarging too much the number of electors, you render the representatives too little acquainted with all their local circumstances and lesser interests; as by reducing it too much, you render him unduly attached to these, and too little fit to comprehend and pursue great and national objects. The federal Constitution forms a happy combination in this respect; the great and aggregate interests being referred to the national, the local and particular to the State legislatures.

Now, most historians place Federalist #68 at the top of their list for defending the Electoral College. But I believe Madison's #10 strikes at the heart of the concern for factionalism that Hillary Inc. represented, and how the Electoral College helped save us from going off the cliff.

The midterms therefore should serve as a sober reminder that the greatest mitigant against faction is growing the cadre of Deplorables. We can't cure the 12-17% of the crazies who cried when Hillary lost then became hooded Antifa, but we must out there, and red pill friends and neighbors who WANT a better life. We've come so far, and won in 2016 by about 60,000 votes. Time to get to work.

The invasion of leftist government into every aspect of life drove a majority of Americans into DJT’s camp. It is precisely the domination of individual rights by the leftist state that has brought on our current crisis and the Trump solution.

As I mentioned several times about Governor Christie here in NJ: Trump has all the right enemies.
