| . . ."Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." Just blocks away at San Francisco’s historic Ferry Building, President Clinton kicked off the latest leg of his West Coast tour promoting his best-selling book, "My Life." Wearing a navy blue suit and a rust-colored tie, Clinton signed books for at least 3,000 people, many of whom had waited hours under brilliant sunshine to catch a glimpse of him. . .

| #11 It is the tireless quest for socialism that still drives the Democratic Party. This "slip of the tongue" is one of those rare moments when a major Dem politician gives a clue to their true intent. It is a "slip of the tongue" because they know they cannot win on a platform that is so honest as to lay bare their real goals. Just how strongly do they hold these beliefs? So strongly that they willingly plan and carry out a campaign designed to undermine and discredit the current administration, even at the expense of helping the enemy in the current war. In other words, they would rather lose the war than lose the election, even if it means the loss of more American lives. They really don't like the Islamists or hope that they prevail in the long run, they just are willing to make the Faustian deal - help the Islamists make a disaster of Iraq to facilitate a Democratic win the election - then hope the Islamists can be contained or appeased. They believe in their socialist ideology stronger than they fear the Islamist threat to world peace. |

| #10 The distinguishing feature of communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few. In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.

| #7 "We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." I don't like Hillary but isn't that quote simply the definition of Government taxation? |

| #5 As ol' Karl put it: ...to each according to his needs Oh Hillary, the others meant nothing. I just have big needs! Why do I have to sleep on the couch? |

| #2 When I first read her comments I came to the same conclusion: Animal Farm. For every lefty Liberal that spouts this Marxists theology (and that’s what it is) they should first liquidate all assets and give the money to the state. If you think the state should redistribute wealth, give up all you have and let them do it. Come on, you will more than make for it during next years commencement addresses by charging 10K a pop. Funny part is that most of these idiots don’t realize what a slippery slope they are embracing. It won’t hit them until they have a deja vu like the scene in Dr. Zhivago. When he returned from the war (fighting for the red Army) his house had been divided up into a collective house. Hey! There is another idea! Let the limo liberals house some of the downtrodden in their exclusive mansions? But then they would have to give up their ‘elite’ status and be a commoner. |
