Hillary Clinton: Faith Saved My Marriage

Hillary Clinton: Faith Saved My Marriage Tuesday, June 05, 2007

WASHINGTON — In a rare public discussion of her husband's infidelity, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that she probably could not have gotten through her marital troubles without relying on her faith in God.

Clinton stood by her actions in the aftermath of former President Clinton's admission that he had an affair, including presumably her decision to stay in the marriage.

"I am very grateful that I had a grounding in faith that gave me the courage and the strength to do what I thought was right, regardless of what the world thought," Clinton said during a forum where the three leading Democratic presidential candidates talked about faith and values.

"I'm not sure I would have gotten through it without my faith," she said in response to a question about how she dealt with the infidelity.

The forum, sponsored by the liberal Sojourners/Call to Renewal evangelical organization, provided an uncommon glimpse into the most personal beliefs of Clinton and rivals John Edwards and Barack Obama. The three candidates were invited by Sojourners founder Jim Wallis; most of the other Democratic candidates appeared on CNN later Monday to discuss their faith.

Yeah, I'm real impressed with your "faith" in God?

LOL!

The Judeo Christian God doesn't approve of lying, stealing, murdering, abortions, homosexuality or you and your husbands affairs. I don't know who your god is? I just know it's not the Judeo Christian God.

You will get NO SUPPORT with these lies from the Bible based "religious right". You're a lying trying to con people into your godless ideology and self worship.

Exactly!

She couldn’t be more opposite of what a Christian, a follower of Christ is.

She is a follower of Satan.

No, m’dear. It was not “faith,” it was ambition, and the fact that each of you knows where the bodies are buried.

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?'

23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'

Just another example of how dangerous this woman really is. I am quite nervous about the next election and what it would mean to this country should she be voted in office. The stakes are much too high.

I think the Bible is very clear on a wide range of the most important issues and is still relevant, essential and helpful for us today, 2000-3000 years after it was written.

If I HAD to pick my personal best example of the words of the Bible not being able to be twisted or turned - even with the best efforts of imperfect men and governments to do so, I would give the example of the 10 Commandments VS Socialism/Communism.

It is why (I believe) socialists and communist HATE the Bible and Christians. The plain words of the 10 Commandants are in stark contrast to what the socialists want. Virtually all the moral teachings and wisdom of the Bible have their roots in the 10 Commandments. Though these principles are more than 3000 years old, they still define the basis for a well-functioning society. And that is why the socialists/communists must destroy the Bible in order to institute their own version of society.

I. “You shall have no other gods before me. ** NOT THE STATE, NOT MAN, NOT “GREAT” LEADERS.

II. “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand [generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments. ** NOT THE STATE. MAN IS NOT GOD. THE STATE IS NOT GOD

III. “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. ** LOOK AT HOW THE LEFT MOCKS CHRISTIANS - THEY MUST IN ORDER TO DESTROY IT

IV. “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. ** YOU DO NOT WORK FOR THE STATE, IT IS GOD’S BLESSINGS

V. “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. ** SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM IS BASED ON DESTROYING THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY - THE STATE IS YOUR FAMILY

VI. “You shall not murder. ** COMMUNISM PROMOTES ABORTION. COMMINISM KILLS ANYONE WHO DOES NOT GIVE IN OR RESISTS. COMMUNISM IS BASED ON THE FEAR OF DEATH

VII. “You shall not commit adultery. ** Socialists and Marxist promote adultery in its effort to destroy the family. Without the family, the individual must look to the state for financial and emotional support.

VIII. “You shall not steal. ** SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM IS ENTIRELY BASED ON STEALING. MARX SAID “THERE IS NO PRIVATE PROPERTY IN COMMUNISM.” STEALING THW WEALTH OF SOME AND GIVING TO OTHERS AS A POLITICIAN SEES FIT IS THE BASIS OF SOCIALISM

IX. “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor ** COMMUNISM IS BASED ON LIES. THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR OF THE PRESS. YOU WILL SAY WHAT THE STATE WANTS YOU TO SAY - TRUTH OR LIES.

X. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” ** THE BASIS OF SOCIALISM IS THE COVETING OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE AND HAVING THE GOVERNMENT REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH. IT IS THE BASIS OF CLASS WARFARE.

If you follow the Bible you can NOT be a Socialist or Communist. And today, the Democrats in Americas are practically socialists. And no twisting of the words of the 10 Commandments can change that.

The audacity of the woman never ceases to amaze me.

All I can do is repeat what I posted on another thread:

"Regardless of what a Klintoon says publicly about his/her values, please remember that they are first of all political pragmatists: do whatever it takes to buy one vote. Take for example, her maiden name, Rotten -- oops -- Rodham: it comes, it goes. And while we're at it, Slick Willy's name: William Jefferson .... How many dunderheads were drawn to him when he said he was named after Thomas Jefferson? (Remember how bored and disinterested he looked when he included a stop at Monticello during his first campaign?) He was born at a time when Arkansas was one of the most segregationist states in the South, where that name was given to honor Jefferson Davis."

If she suddenly pretends faith, it might sway as many as two voters.

This rates up there with Paris Hilton’s statement of “looking forward to a “new life” when she gets out of prison.

Media is really working overtime trying to keep their whores on pedastels these days. Who knew Anna Nicole Smith(fake name just like the rest of her) was just the beginning of a long list of Media’s idea of moral women?

Funny how “faith” became “important” to this bunch after the 2004 election.

If this bunch really were believers, then they wouldn’t be Democrats, they would’ve left a long time ago . . . plain and simple. They’re the worst form of hypocrites, manufacturing “faith” when it becomes politically expedient.

I take my faith very seriously and very personally," she said. "And I come from a tradition that is perhaps a little too suspicious of people who wear their faith on their sleeves."

For 8 years we saw her husband the impeached ex president cliton, and her, coming out of a church carrying a bible, while Monica was waiting one Easter Sunday...

Yeah, she takes her “faith” so personally that not even God knows about it. And no one will EVER be able to accuse Hillary of wearing her faith “on her sleeve.” No way, no how. Nope. Won’t happen here. It’s a BIIIIIIIG SECRET to EVERYBODY. Not even her roommate or daughter know about it, either.

Herd instincts: Hillary's investment profits - ethics of Hillary Clinton's cattle futures investments


On October 11, 1978, the future First Lady, a neophyte investor with an annual income of $25,000, opened a commodity-futures account with a deposit of $1,000. Her first trade was the short sale of ten live-cattle contracts at a price of 57.55 cents a pound: a commitment to deliver in December of that year 400,000 pounds of cattle with a market value of $230,200. One day later, she bought the contracts back at a price of 56.10 cents, just 0.15 cent above the low of the day, pocketing $5,300 for a return of 530 per cent.

Mrs. Clinton continued to be a net winner at the game. By the time she closed her trading account ten months later, she had racked up $99,541 in profits, a spectacular 10,000 per cent return on her initial investment of $1,000. Either Mrs. Clinton was a better trader than the legendary George Soros, whose best-ever annual return in thirty years of trading was 122 per cent, or she was led by an invisible hand.

This "invisible hand"?? Could this be part of Billary's great faith??

Which God? Maya?

“The literal meaning of the word “Maya” is illusion. Any thing which is added to the reality is illusion or Maya, and this veiling power of illusion is able to create the difference between ‘me’ and ‘mine’, or ‘thee’ and ‘thine’. Maya creates the ignorance of the individual self.”

A blind eye, acceptance and participation has left her IN NAME marriage intact, that is about all.
There is obviously no fidelity, loyalty or love in that marriage outside of the love of power and money.
