| Hillary Does Karl Marx |
| 2007-05-29 |
| Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday, saying it's time to replace an "on your own" society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity... "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." -- Karl Marx, from 'Critique of the Gotha Program', 1875. |

| #7 I think she means that since she has more "responsibility" she gets more of the share. |

| #6 ...saying it's time to replace an "on your own" society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity... Jeez, wonder if she read the Post yesterday? For the past four years, the Clintons have jetted around on Vinod Gupta's corporate plane, to Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico -- $900,000 worth of travel. The former president secured a $3.3 million consulting deal with Gupta's technology firm. His presidential library got a six-figure gift, too... Gupta is a well-known figure in the high-tech world in India who met Bill Clinton in the mid-1990s and quickly became a generous patron. He and his company donated at least $1 million to help underwrite a lavish millennium New Year's Eve celebration at the White House and on the Mall, and he paid the former president $200,000 to deliver a speech to InfoUSA executives in Papillion, Neb. Gupta also gave a six-figure gift to the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, $250,000 to the former president's global charity, and more than $220,000 to the Democratic Party during Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign. In December, Gupta gave the maximum $5,000 to the senator's political action committee, which was helping to lay the groundwork for her 2008 presidential bid. Boy, I can't wait for my ride on Vinod Gupta's private jet in our new "shared society"... |

| #3 As far as I'm concerned, Hillary and her kind are merely jihadists of a slightly different sort. And they deserve the same fate, in my opinion, as the Muslim kind. I'm no more willing to have my grandchildren grow up in the suffocating, depressive, coercive egalitarian embrace of Hillary's totalitarian nanny state, than I am to have them grow up banging their heads on the ground toward Mecca five times a day. Each is something I will die, if I have to-- or kill-- to prevent. |
