A good rule of thumb with Hillary Clinton is this: If it comes out of her mouth, it’s insincere. You will never lose money taking that bet 100 times out of 100. And a good corollary to that rule is this: When she tells you what something is supposed to mean, that’s not what it means at all. Especially when she’s talking about the Bible.
Pay attention: When a liberal who “rarely mentions his or her faith” suddenly shows up in a church quoting Scripture to you, it’s a pretty good bet that liberal is trying to pervert the Scripture in question to make it look like it supports Democratic Party policies. So it was this past week when Hillary showed up at a conference of United Methodist women, claiming to have just loved church as a young girl, and offering this rather interesting take on the miracle of the loaves and fishes:

No man can be compelled to tithe to charity by his government as a means of religious obligation.
Something that anti-Christian bigots at the ACLU never seize upon when Democrats utter such requirements to give to the Socialist state (via taxes).
Obama doesn’t treat his own siblings very well.
Slick Willie’s wife sure is pushing religion these days. What’s up with that? I thought the commie libs in the state controlled “media” said that religion is finished in this country.
OK I could go with that...
Liberals seem to think that despite the fact that there is only a few loaves of bread and a couple of fishes, they think they can feed everyone.
Only God could do that, but they think Government is God.
I like this- I could go with it...
Don’t you just love it when pagans tell you what Christ meant?
Not only that, but even the slightest mention of religion in public political debate is a violation of the "constitution" - the "beginnings of a theocracy" - and the perpetrator should be summarily executed (this is the one exception to lib's denunciation of the death penalty.)
Except that social liberals don’t create real stuff like food. They can only create emotion, and now that they control the Presidency, little slips of increasingly worthless paper known as “Dollars”.
Yeah, and not long after he quit passing out free food, they crucified him.
I agree. Liberals having an actual, coherent policy that is good for everyone would indeed be a miracle.
So Jesus went to a rich neighboring town, confiscated their fish and gave them to his followers?
Hmmm...
Let me know when shackling people to dependence on an increasingly authoritarian state becomes a bedrock principle of Christ’s grace and I’ll become a liberal.
No. He was demonstrating who He is.
And hillary just demonstrated who leftists are.
Only in the warped mind of an inveterate Leftist — does the account of the fish and loaves transform into a call for Big Government.
Well thanks Hill.....excuse me while go throw up.
She probably means there is no bottom to our pockets. No limit to what we should be forced to give for the ‘common good’.
O great Hitlary, impart to us the meaning of the 12 baskets.
The difference is that Jesus was God and could feed the multitude generously with someone’s meager lunch. The government would take the loaves and fish and give it to the head honcho, who would divide it up with his friends and everyone else would go hungry.
The absolute least likely way to help the poor is to leave it to the government. We’ve wasted almost $18 TRILLION taxpayer dollars since LBJ’s disastrous War on Poverty, and we have more poor than ever, dependent on government handouts.
shes not clear on the fact that the Bible was written...by....JEWS..not her favorite people from what I remember reading
