Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked the Bible yesterday to criticize a stringent border security measure that, among other things, would make it a federal crime to offer aid to illegal immigrants.
"It is hard to believe that a Republican leadership that is constantly talking about values and about faith would put forth such a mean-spirited piece of legislation," she said of the measure, which was passed by the House of Representatives in December and mirrored a companion Senate bill introduced last week by Senator Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican and the majority leader.
"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself," she said. "We need to sound the alarm about what is being done in the Congress."
Mrs. Clinton, who is running for re-election this year and is leading in polls for the Democratic presidential nomination, spoke at a news conference in Manhattan with more than 30 immigrant leaders after meeting with them privately.
The meeting took place in an atmosphere of mounting urgency, as the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called on its flock to oppose the measure, and tens of thousands of immigrants around the country stepped up a series of protest rallies in anticipation of a Senate vote on competing immigration bills next week.
Mr. Frist's bill, like the House measure, would make it a crime to be in the United States without proper papers and would add guards and fencing along the Mexican border, and speed deportation.
Some versions, including one proposed by Senator Arlen Spector of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, would expand the definition of alien smuggling to include help to illegal immigrants already here.

Coming from the spawn of satan, that's quite a statement, isn't it?
How would she know . . . it has been probably a few years since she actually studied it!
Oh, like she's an authority on the Bible? The Dem's and Liberals politicize morality and moralize politics ..... they make political hay over abortion and say that illegal immigration is moral according to the Bible .....
Funny, but I didn't think the GOP had an immigration plan. Hillary's getting a little ahead of her jiggly.
The biblical interpretation can be debated, but what gets me is that she thinks this will help her in red states???? She is a lawyer with no political instincts.
Hillary is loosing it and exposing herself for the fake she is.
Hillary Clinton, in comments critical of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s homeless policies, sought to remind all of us that “Christmas celebrates ‘the birth of a homeless child.’

I think the cottage cheese on her legs has risen to her head.
I guess this depends on what your definition of 'the Bible' IS.
Yep, she's no different than George Bush when it comes to border security and illegal immigration.
So, I guess the whole 'Render unto Caesar' thing is eliminated. Cool.
Hitlery obviously pandering for the illegal alien vote... hurl time...

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself," she said. "We need to sound the alarm about what is being done in the Congress."
ANY tough on crime approach is against Christian teaching.
We are asked if someone robs us of our wallet to also give him our cloak. Somehow I doubt that Mrs. Clinton would ever live up to that standard. Seeing as how she herself violated the 10 Commandments by stealing things from the White House as she moved out.
Mean-spirited? Is it mean-spirited to enforce law? Or, as the Liberal/Socialist extremists portray it, every lawbreaker is a "victim", somehow, with an excuse for reckless disregard for societal rules being "justified".
Screaming about "caring for people" (aka, vote-buying), while disregarding the well-being and recognition of the needs of legal societal members, is a flagrant affront to the vast MAJORITY, who play by the rules.
It's getting closer and closer to the time when this accommodation of extremists who hate being accountable at all will have to be shown that laws DO matter, and consequences for your acts is what our country is based upon.
The 'Rat Party's forte is in advocating the violation and the undermining of our nation's laws.

I have visions of the Heinous Harridan touching a Bible and then getting zapped like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz when she tried to take the ruby slippers from Dorothy!! I wonder if anyone has tried to sprinkle her with holy water to see if she screams with pain!
Coming from the bride of Satan is noteworthy.
LOL...so now Sister Hellery is a theologian. What a moron.
WAIT back upppppp.....you can't have Church and State....its the law.....she has violated a law....one she supports....she should be brought to the center of town and caned....tie her up by her thumbs....poor ice cold water on her a drop at a time....
I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm putting out an open call for any of Hillary's lurkers to please read this advicement.
Stiffle it on pretending to be a born Again believer interested in following the Word of Christ.
You don't know what you are talking about when it concerns scripture. You are using GOD to try to score a political agenda. Rather clumsily I'd add. And Christians, rather then being seduced, are sickened by the rather apparent pandering at expense of our God.
Knock it off.
You are alientating Christians. You are ticking off your own liberal base by even acknowledging Jesus exists. If you had even the slighest clue what Christians were all about you'd realize they have far more respect for people that are unbelievers but RESPECT them and listen to their views, then they do those that pretend to be one of them.
It's makes my skin crawl everytime you do it, and I'm not alone.
She makes me ill. Isn't she one of the ones who made fun of
President Bush for speaking too much about religion. The
Dems are the biggest bunch of phonies. I am on a rant as I just watched Rumsfeld's press conference and the press is so rude to him it is sickening.

Isn't Congress Caesar?
If the holy water works, use a firehose on the harridan!
Hope the Republicans are recording these idiotic statements. No way she is going to keep all these BS straight.
The real issue is not immigration reform, it is law enforcement. We do have laws against illegal immigration. Liberals are very find of the "law enforcement" argument on terrorism, why not here?
Mexico is mentioned in the bible. Who'd a thunk it?
She would have any problem at all living up to it ... after she takes your wallet she'll want your cloak too.
John 14:
23 Jesus replied: 'If anyone loves me he will cherish my word; my Father will love him and we will come to him and make him our abode.
24 He that does not love me neglects my words. Yet the word you hear is not my own but that of the Father who sent me.
There is a talking point that the libs are pushing to deflect discussion of the total issue. That is somehow clergy won't be able to help illegals somehow. I think it's a strained interpretation, but it's out there.
Catholic church is hemoraging members so its leaders have a monetary interest in increasing Latin American immigration, legal or not.

Bible? Well, hell!!! Welcome to the growing number of people who actually read the Bible!!! Nice to have you, Hillary. You might want to note the parts about NOT killing and NOT sleeping with someone of the same sex. Being new to the subject, I just wanted to make you aware of these parts which will probably be quite a shock to you.
The "deceiver" using the Bible to it's advantage. I'm shocked!
If she desires laws that do not conflict with what the Bible might have to say on the matter, will she also agree that laws must not conflict with what the Koran has to say?
She is a nut case, plain and simple, but also are those who deny the rule of law as it applies to criminal aliens and illegal border crossings. GWB and the GOP must take a good long look at this or Hillary will win, as nutty as she is.
Just damn ...
would = wouldn't
i.e. Good Samaritan = Saul Alinsky(google him)..
Or if its taught in a school.
All of a sudden the Hillary isnt for seperation of church and state.
The Bible? Hitlary? lol
Must be where she kept her law firm billing records as well. It took awhile but she got around to looking there in the end too.
"Hope the Republicans are recording these idiotic statements. No way she is going to keep all these BS straight."
And compare them with her earlier ones opposite. She's a flip-flopper.
Maybe she meant The Cake Bible. It IS a "good book". Can't imagine she knows what a real bible looks like, since if she stares at one she'll burst into flames.
The HildiBeast speakith....
I'd much rather spend $8 billion to make sure only U.S. citizens vote than build a wall at the border.
Profiling? For sex deviates, we MUST recognize them according to Liberals.
For "minorities", we MUST recognize them, according to Liberals.
For "illegals", we MUST "recognize them".
That's only when the Liberals want to bestow upon them un-earned rewards to bo buy their votes with other people's money)
How do we "recognize" what we're not supposed to see (they call it "profiling").....go figger....
Rush had a tape of this witch talking about the Bible and I just had to turn it off. The day I take biblical advice from Hillary is the day I turn Dim.
The Good Samaritan and Jesus were illegal immigrants? I don't remember seeing that in the Gospel. Maybe it was right under the part that talked about Mary and Joseph being homeless...couldn't find that one either.
Maybe she has?
