Did Hillary really write this in "It Takes A Village?
Clinton's barely disguised message is that parents are agents of the state in raising children who, at bottom, belong to the state. It is a ringing surrender of the traditional (but, in America, always marginal) Left concerned with class power to the only widespread radicalism the United States has known in this century, the radicalism of the helping professions, the social-worker cops who are eager to sign up for, in Alexander's words, the "therapeutic policing" of America's families, so to heal and nurture the body politic. Religion and God Almighty, schools, after-school programmes, day care, health clinics, Planned Parenthood, the Boy and Girl Scouts, and every non-profit organization able to put out a policy report on any subject can all be useful to the state's task of raising its children, Clinton tells parents - and mummy and daddy can be useful, too.

You're quoting from a right winger's website.

Just another DU post bashing Hillary.

4. I have no intent to bash Hillary
I found this as a quote on a fundy website and I was hoping snopes or someone could help me refute it.

2. Subtract Planned Parenthood from that list...
And he might be describing No Child Left Behind (Breathing?), Head Start, faith-based social services, D.A.R.E., Scared Straight, prohibition, the daily scares around pedophiles and Our Children, the Republican paternalistic rhetoric of "our children" and "our seniors." I see plenty to critique in the statism that disguises itself as therapy and family policy, but it's always been right and left. And this guy is a complete fool. This country has always been full of radicals, millions of them, coming from every possible ideological direction.

3. Clearly; NOT.
That's not a quote from Clinton. It doesn't even claim to be. Now answer this question: Why are you posting this vile right wing shit that purports to speak for Clinton?

10. Locking
Putting out a fire before the personal attacks and flamethrowing creates a full four alarm fire.
