Scary, Scary Lady

In the text of a speech Hilary Clinton gave on Tuesday, I discovered that she said:

It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an "on your own" society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a "we're all in it together" society.

Usually her socialist proclivities are hidden behind screwphemisms and other clever language. This statement lays it out in the open, though. Shared prosperity simply means forced wealth redistribution -- or, more personally (since I'm in the top 25% of wage earners), it means take money away from me, forcibly, and give it to someone else.

Socialism.

A "fact sheet" on Hilary's site is chock-a-block full of the non-facts, lies, distortions, and clever common to the liberal dialog these days. It's best viewed as propaganda (spin, if you prefer the more, er, polite term), and not as a serious piece. But it is useful for understanding how the leading Democratic candidate is posturing. And it's downright scary to someone (like me) who believes in the America our founding father's created. Hilary and her ilk would like to turn our country into something more closely resembling a European country.

If I was attracted by that, I'd move to Europe. Sure wish Hilary would!
