Clinton Vows No Let Up in Campaign After Hostage-Taking

Saturday, December 1, 2007

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton vowed
to fight on with her White House campaign Saturday, despite an earlier
hostage drama at one of her offices.

"I don't see any changes in my campaign or my schedule," Clinton told
reporters in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, near the town of Rochester where
Friday's standoff occurred, adding "I don't see any way this will affect
me."

Clinton who was not in New Hampshire at the time of the incident, but flew
to the northeastern US state to meet the hostages, their families and police
teams, described the standoff as "obviously a very difficult situation."

"For me and my campaign it was a very tough and difficult day," she said,
adding that the hostages had expressed "a lot of relief, a lot of
gratitude."

A man claiming to be armed with a bomb walked into the New Hampshire office
at around 1:00 pm (1800 GMT) Friday, taking three women, a man and a baby
hostage and reportedly demanding to speak to the former first lady.

The man, believed to have a history of mental illness, surrendered to police
around five hours later and was charged with kidnapping.

A young woman initially raised the alarm after fleeing the building with her
baby almost immediately after the hostage-taker entered Clinton's office.

Witness Lettie Tzizik told local television station WMUR she spoke to the
woman shortly after she fled the building to a nearby shop.

"A young woman with a six-month or eight-month-old infant came rushing into
the store just in tears, and she said, 'You need to call 911. A man has just
walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb
strapped to his chest with duct tape," WMUR quoted her as saying.

Armed police rapidly arrived on the scene, with units setting up across the
street while negotiators established communication.

The hostage-taker, named by police as Lee Eisenberg, released another
captive around two hours into the standoff before giving up the last two
around three hours later.

Live television images showed Eisenberg surrendering to police with his
hands in the air before getting down on the ground, being arrested by armed
officers and taken to a police vehicle.

The suspected bomb turned out to be several road flares strapped to his body
with duct tape.

US media said that Eisenberg was well known locally, had a history of mental
problems and wanted to draw attention to the state of psychiatric health
care in the United States.

He had reportedly been scheduled to appear in court Friday for a domestic
violence hearing and had previously spent time in jail. He was also believed
to be going through a divorce and reportedly had a history of alcohol abuse.

Sherman Ejarque from The Governor's Inn in Rochester interviewed Eisenberg
for a job as a dish washer earlier this year and told AFP the hostage-taker
"seemed like a habitually unemployed drifter."

The incident came as campaigning for the 2008 White House race began heating
up towards the first nominating contests in Iowa, just five weeks away on
January 3, followed by the first primaries in New Hampshire on January 8.

Clinton, who was first lady during her husband Bill Clinton's tenure in the
White House 1993-2001, has been riding high in the polls, but she remains a
deeply polarizing figure.

A New York senator and a veteran of the fiercely partisan war raging through
US politics, she has in the past lambasted a "vast right-wing conspiracy"
which she says has targeted her and her husband.

An object of anger since her husband's 1992 White House campaign, she has
also provoked the ire of anti-feminists and conservatives, which is being
whipped up again as she strives to be America's first woman president.

And despite polls showing the race narrowing in key states ahead of the Iowa
caucuses, she still leads nationwide in almost every significant opinion
survey of the Democratic field.
 
Goebbels speech on March 18, 1933:
"German women, German men !
It is a happy accident that my first speech since taking charge of the
Ministry for Propaganda and People's Enlightenment is to German women.
Although I agree with Treitschke that men make history, I do not
forget that women raise boys to manhood. You know that the National
Socialist movement is the only party that keeps women out of daily
politics. This arouses bitter criticism and hostility, all of it very
unjustified. We have kept women out of the parliamentary-democratic
intrigues of the past fourteen years in Germany not because we do not
respect them, but because we respect them too much. We do not see the
woman as inferior, rather as having a different mission, a different
value, than that of the man. Therefore we believed that the German
woman, who more than any other in the world is a woman in the best
sense of the word, should use her strength and abilities in other
areas than the man.

The woman has always been not only the man's sexual companion, but
also his fellow worker. Long ago, she did heavy labor with the man in
the field. She moved with him into the cities, entering the offices
and factories, doing her share of the work for which she was best
suited. She did this with all her abilities, her loyalty, her selfless
devotion, her readiness to sacrifice.

The woman in public life today is no different than the women of the
past. No one who understands the modern age would have the crazy idea
of driving women from public life, from work, profession, and bread
winning. But it must also be said that those things that belong to the
man must remain his. That includes politics and the military. That is
not to disparage women, only a recognition of how she can best use her
talents and abilities.
Looking back over the past year's of Germany's decline, we come to the
frightening, nearly terrifying conclusion, that the less German men
were willing to act as men in public life, the more women succumbed to
the temptation to fill the role of the man. The feminization of men
always leads to the masculinization of women. An age in which all
great idea of virtue, of steadfastness, of hardness and determination
have been forgotten should not be surprised that the man gradually
loses his leading role in life and politics and government to the
woman.

It may be unpopular to say this to an audience of women, but it must
be said, because it is true and because it will help make clear our
attitude toward women.

The modern age, with all its vast revolutionary transformations in
government, politics, economics and social relations has not left
women and their role in public life untouched. Things we thought
impossible several years or decades ago are now everyday reality. Some
good, noble and commendable things have happened. But also things that
are contemptible and humiliating. These revolutionary transformations
have largely taken from women their proper tasks. Their eyes were set
in directions that were not appropriate for them. The result was a
distorted public view of German womanhood that had nothing to do with
former ideals.

A fundamental change is necessary. At the risk of sounding reactionary
and outdated, let me say this clearly: The first, best, and most
suitable place for the women is in the family, and her most glorious
duty is to give children to her people and nation, children who can
continue the line of generations and who guarantee the immortality of
the nation. The woman is the teacher of the youth, and therefore the
builder of the foundation of the future. If the family is the nation's
source of strength, the woman is its core and center. The best place
for the woman to serve her people is in her marriage, in the family,
in motherhood. This is her highest mission. That does not mean that
those women who are employed or who have no children have no role in
the motherhood of the German people. They use their strength, their
abilities, their sense of responsibility for the nation, in other
ways. We are convinced, however, that the first task of a socially
reformed nation must be to again give the woman the possibility to
fulfill her real task, her mission in the family and as a mother.

The national revolutionary government is everything but reactionary.
It does not want to stop the pace of our rapidly moving age. It has no
intention of lagging behind the times. It wants to be the flag bearer
and pathfinder of the future. We know the demands of the modern age.
But that does not stop us from seeing that every age has its roots in
motherhood, that there is nothing of greater importance than the
living mother of a family who gives the state children.

German women have been transformed in recent years. They are beginning
to see that they are not happier as a result of being given more
rights but fewer duties. They now realize that the right to be elected
to public office at the expense of the right to life, motherhood and
her daily bread is not a good trade.

A characteristic of the modern era is a rapidly declining birthrate in
our big cities. In 1900 two million babies were born in Germany. Now
the number has fallen to one million. This drastic decline is most
evident in the national capital. In the last fourteen years, Berlin's
birthrate has become the lowest of any European city. By 1955, without
emigration, it will have only about three million inhabitants. The
government is determined to halt this decline of the family and the
resulting impoverishment of our blood. There must be a fundamental
change. The liberal attitude toward the family and the child is
responsible for Germany's rapid decline. We today must begin worrying
about an aging population. In 1900 there were seven children for each
elderly person, today it is only four. If current trends continue, by
1988 the ratio will be 1 : 1. These statistics say it all. They are
the best proof that if Germany continues along its current path, it
will end in an abyss with breathtaking speed. We can almost determine
the decade when Germany collapses because of depopulation.

We are not willing to stand aside and watch the collapse of our
national life and the destruction of the blood we have inherited. The
national revolutionary government has the duty to rebuilt the nation
on its original foundations, to transform the life and work of the
woman so that it once again best serves the national good. It intends
to eliminate the social inequalities so that once again the life of
our people and the future of our people and the immortality of our
blood is assured..."
