ironmonk Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 [b]Holy Hillary: I Always Prayed[/b] Friday, Jan. 21, 2005 11:23 a.m. EST [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20050207170613/http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/1/21/112646.shtml"]http://web.archive.org/web/20050207170613/...21/112646.shtml[/url] Borrowing a page from President Bush, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told a Boston audience this week that prayer has always played a meaningful role in her life - though accounts from her days as a student radical suggest that's probably not true. "[i]I've always been a praying person[/i]," Clinton told a crowd of more than 500, including many religious leaders, at Boston's Fairmont Copley Plaza. According to the Boston Globe, the newly religious former first lady "invoked God more than half a dozen times" as she urged society to accommodate religious people who "live out their faith in the public square." Though she was raised as a Methodist, Clinton's open embrace of God, along with her insistence that she's "always been a praying person," has to come as a shock to those who remember her college days. Back then, Clinton was far more likely to be seen reading not the Bible but the writings of [b]Marx and Mao[/b] - and had close associations with unabashed Communists, to whom the mere mention of religion was heresy. One was [b]Robert Treuhaft[/b], who, as noted in the late Barbara Olson's Hillary biography, "Hell to Pay," had "[b]dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party."[/b] In 1972 Treuhaft offered the future senator a summer internship at the Universiy of California's Berkeley campus. Clinton accepted, immersing herself in Truehaft's brand of radical Stalinism. When she returned, she was, according to Olson, [b]"a budding Leninist."[/b] If Sen. Clinton was "a praying person" back then, she must have kept it well concealed from her radical mentors. ------------------------------------------ Let us not forget.

I am not saying everyone should go out an vote for her but making a comment like this is very ignorant. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So and So's not a Catholic, So and So's not a Christian, Hillary doesn't really pray. Why don't we let God look into and judge our hearts. Meanwhile, may I humbly suggest that we all remove the beams from our own eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avemaria40 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I would not vote for Hillary. Her undying devotion to the cause of abortion has left me cold. I really couldn't care less about my President's religion. I just want someone who's competent, who'll defend the unborn, and who keeps us both safe and free. Other than that, I really couldn't care and I'm sick of the Republican candidates trying to ease onto the side of social conservatives and of Democratic candidates trying to justify their Christianity.

Jaime Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 So what's being suggested, that Hilary doesn't pray? Are you kidding me? Is that what the debate is about? I don't agree with Hilary's politics. I don't agree with Rudy's either. But both say they pray and personally I don't have the arrogance or the audacity to suggest that they are lying about it.

Her husband Bill used to quote scripture all the time, when we know he didn't uphold the teachings of Jesus in his personal or political life. My uncle was a State Senator (a very bad one) and used to always tout how he used to be"an altar boy..." McGreevey did the same thing to woo the Catholic vote...and well...we all know about that one... Does anyone know if their cat, Socks, is still alive? Because if it comes down to Hillary vs. Guiliani I want to vote for Socks. He was one cool cat. Edited November 9, 2007 by friendofJPII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
