Holy Hillary: I Always Prayed

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've always been a praying person," 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 Marx and Mao - and had close associations with unabashed Communists, to whom the mere mention of religion was heresy.

One was Robert Treuhaft, who, as noted in the late Barbara Olson's Hillary biography, "Hell to Pay," had "dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party."

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, "a budding Leninist."

If Sen. Clinton was "a praying person" back then, she must have kept it well concealed from her radical mentors.

The question is, who did she pray to? .... Saul Alinsky?

[peacebaby]

Seriously, let's remember not to judge lest we be judged.

Having said that, continue.....

""I've always been a praying person," Clinton told a crowd of more than 500..."

Someone who has done as many bad things as she has had better pray....

I can just imagine it now:

"Please, God, don't let anyone find out about Vince Foster, the cattle futures, Whitewater, the Travel Office firings, and all the other bad that I have done..."

[expatpat]

The FJB was directed at someone else, can't remember his name.

Hillary, "I wish I wouldn't have let Rev. Don Jones have his way with me back in Park Ridge.

[UCANSEE2]

You have a very good point.

Decent, honest folk, like Christians follow the laws and principles of the Bible.


Then there are those, like Hillary and Bill, who make up their own laws, then subscribe to whatever god suits their lifestyle choice at the moment.

It is how they live with themselves, and accept what they know are complete lies.

[UCANSEE2]

Who does she think she is going to fool? She may as well don camouflage and hunt goose in Ohio.

Well, as is true for everyone, the first person she must fool is herself.

This is the first mistake liars make.

[foolscap]

Well if she prays enough maybe Bill will let her tote around that big Bible he carried during his impeachment. I suppose next she will say she has chosen Jesus as her 2008 running mate.

[Loyal Buckeye]

We will know she is serious about religion when she takes rhyming and chiming lessons from Jesse Jackson.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA!

[UCANSEE2]

chosen Jesus as her 2008 running mate.

LMAO!

Makes sense. I mean why share the "POWER" and the "MONEY" with anyone else. No VP running mate to drag her down during the campaign.

Dateline: June 23, 1992

``I really believe by if not in the election of 2012 we will see a woman president,'' she said at a luncheon for the magazine Ladies Home Journal at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

``It is a realistic prediction,'' she said. ``There are too many women right now assuming positions of responsibility for one not to emerge.''

Clinton did not predict who might be elected that year, but said ``any of the women in the Senate, anybody.''

When asked whether she herself might run, she laughed and said, ``Me? Oh no.''

Sounds like another Hillary re-invention! Does this mean that she going to start wearing her headband again?

I quote:

"....when Hill o’ Beans Clinton told an audience of admiring New Zealanders that she was named after the famous Kiwi, Sir Edmund Hillary. Never mind that, at the time he scaled Mount Everest, Hillary was already 3 or 4 years old".

For those who pray, isn't there an obligation not to lie?

[gopwinsin04]

She's praying for the 2008 Democratic nomination..

[denydenydeny]

Pure triangulation.

[Rocky]

She prayed that she could get Vince Foster's records out of his office before the FBI found them.

She prayed that no one would find out about the $100,000 in cattle futures.

You win some, you lose some.

Wow! A graph is worth a thousand words. Otoh, my new granddaughter's name is Jenna ;-) (12/22/04)

[Triggerhippie]

The graph makes sense. People who don't like Hillary won't name their children after her. Her supporters usually don't name their aborted children.
