Guest Patriot Games Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 http://www.newsmax.com/morris/hillary_for_nafta/2008/04/14/87762.html Hillary Was Pro-NAFTA Monday, April 14, 2008 By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann Forget about her claim to have dodged sniper's bullets in Bosnia, or that she was named after Sir Edmund Hilary, or that she met a woman who was denied health care and died. All of these Hillary Clinton fibs and exaggerations are basically harmless. But her current attempts to lie about her record and to pretend that she always opposed free trade agreements and disagreed with Bill on NAFTA is a serious distortion of her record as she searches for blue collar support in Pennsylvania. Hillary was a strong supporter of NAFTA. Her official schedule reveals that she attended meetings designed to promote its passage and her memoir, "Living History," betrays no hint of any opposition to her husband's key legislative accomplishment of his first two years in office - the ratification of NAFTA. Hillary and I spoke frequently through all of 1993 and 1994 and together we plotted to help NAFTA ratification. She was deeply involved in the decision to enlist past presidents in supporting the bill and followed the vote count with heightening anxiety as it appeared closer and closer. That she could totally reinvent her record, turn it around 180 degrees, and expect us to fall for it, shows her arrogance and her continuing belief that she can sell us on anything, no matter how obviously false. Trade was no side issue in the Clinton administration; it was central to his key worldview - that he had to lead America to compete successfully in the new global economy. His refusal to submit to protectionism or to legislation to reduce layoffs - his commitment to the free market - was a singular badge of courage in his presidency. For Hillary to indicate now so fundamental a disagreement with a policy so integral to her husbands' presidency is transparently phony. And when Hillary entered the Senate, before she started to run for president, she was a reliable vote for free trade, supporting a host of bilateral agreements negotiated by her husband and by the Bush administration. She even took the lead in urging the admission of China to the World Trade Organization, the key counter-protectionist step of the past two decades. Hillary spoke at a meeting to promote NAFTA in November of 1993. Participants told ABC News that Hilary was "100 percent pro-NAFTA" and expressed "not a hint of waffling" on the deal. In 1996, she said that NAFTA was giving Americans a chance to compete. "That's what a free and fair trade agreement like NAFTA is all about. I think NAFTA is proving its worth." And in 2002, the AP reports that she told the Democratic Leadership Council praising Bill's economic policies: "The economic recovery plan stands first and foremost as a testament to both good ideas and political courage. National service. The Brady Bill. Family leave. NAFTA. Investment in science and technology. All of these came our of some very fundamental ideas bout what would work. The results speak for themselves." Does she really believe that we are about to forget history and buy that Hillary was opposed to NAFTA all along? NAFTA has worked very well. It has improved Mexico and the United States. Without it, we would be burdened by millions of more immigrants from Mexico. It was one of the stellar achievements of the Clinton administration. For Hillary to try to sell us on a revised history speaks to her confidence that she can make us believe anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Topaz Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Here are some quotes from the account of the women's rally at the 1936 Nuremberg Rally, taken from the official party proceedings. The speakers were Gertrud Scholz-Klink, the head of the Nazi women's league, and Hitler himself, who outlines the Nazi view of the role of women. The enormous hall was filled two hours before the meeting began. Many thousands of women were unable to enter, and gathered outside to hear the proceedings over loudspeakers. The leaders of the women's labor service and those of the League of German Girls took their places on the platform, and the officials of the NS Women's League and the German Women's Work filled the seats. To the side one could see numerous representatives of German women's groups from abroad in colorful and elaborate costumes. The farmers among the participants also wore their beautiful traditional costumes. After a piece by the Reich Symphony Orchestra, Hilgenfeldt opened the meeting and greeted the participants and foreign guests in the name of the National Women's Leader. The 20,000 women rose to sing "Our Fate was to be a Free People." Speech by Gertrud Scholz-Klink: "The Soviet Union declared the legal equality of men and women in all areas in a law of 18 November 1918. That meant the same right to work, the same duty to support oneself, the right of control over one's own body, which for the woman meant the right to abortion. The view was that men and women had full freedom only when the state stayed as far as possible form personal relationships. The state provided no legal rights in marriage, which meant that there were only two forms of marriage. One could register a marriage before a government office, or one could be married without virtue of state ceremony. The result was that, even when one had been married officially, the individual partners had the right when they were unhappy to go to the same office and, for a very small fee, dissolve the marriage. Should there be children, they would be housed in collective homes, since both father and mother worked and housing was in short supply, given the migration from the countryside to the cities. The absence of resources in such homes led of necessity to demanding money from the economically stronger partner. The result was constant legal battles and enormous misery for the children. Simultaneously, women were increasingly absorbed in industry and the military. In 1918, 24 of every 1000 miners were women. By 1932, 153 of 1000 were women, a number that had grown to 321 by 1935! In automobile and tractor manufacturing, women are 30.4% of the work force, 63.5% of the drilling industry. The full equality of the sexes had the further result that girls are given the same military training as boys in the communist youth organization and schools. The Red Army is the only army in the world in which both men and women are trained as soldiers and officers to wage aggressive wars... We Germans had 14 years under an attempt to impose Bolshevist principles on us. The German woman took her place alongside the German man when she realized that a struggle was going on between God's order for earthly affairs and universal apostles of humanity who wanted to replace these eternal laws. It was a battle between good and evil. Good and evil are equally strong forces in life. They find visible form in National Socialism and Bolshevism. National Socialism is good become visible for we Germans. It respects the earth from which our people have grown. Bolshevism is absolute evil because it is a universal approach that rejects the eternal laws of nature. "Good" and "evil" have never stood in such stark contrast before all the world as they do today in these two forces... Our work is to spread this idea. It is nothing other than a daily struggle between these two forces. It is not ultimately a battle of means or of money, that is of perishable things, rather it is ennobled by the spirit in whose service we stand: In the battle between good and evil, we are the obedient servants of the good." Speech by Adolf Hitler: Those abroad may say 'That is fine for the men! But your women cannot be optimistic. They are oppressed and dominated and enslaved. You give them no freedom of equality." We answer: What you see as a yoke others see as a blessing. What is heaven to one is hell for another... As long as we have sound men-and we National Socialists will see to that-there will be no women throwing hand grenades in Germany, no women sharp-shooters. That is not equality for women, rather their debasement... Women have boundless opportunities to work. For us the woman has always been the loyal companion of the man in work and life. People often tell me: You want to drive women out of the professions. No, I only want to make it possible for her to found her own family and to have children, for that is how she can best serve our people!... If a woman jurist does the best possible work, but next to her lives a woman who has given birth to five, six or seven healthy children who are well educated, I would say the following: From the standpoint of the eternal values of our people, the woman who has borne and raised children has done more, given more, accomplished more for the future of our people!... Real leadership has the duty to enable every man and woman to fulfill their dreams, or at least to make it easier for them to do so. We seek this goal through laws that encourage the healthy education of children. But we have done more than simply pass laws. We are educating for German women and girls a manly youth, the men of tomorrow!" "I believe we have found the right way to educate a healthy youth. Let me say this to all the literary know-it-alls and philosophers of equality: (laughter) Do not deceive yourselves! There are two separate arenas in the life of a nation": that of men and that of women. Nature has rightly ordained that men head the family and are burdened with the task of protecting their people, the community. The world of the woman, when she is fortunate, is her family, her husband, her children, her home. From there she can see the whole. The two arenas together join to form a community that enables a people to survive. We want to build a common world of both sexes in which each sees its own tasks, tasks that it alone can do and therefore can and must do alone." "When I see this wonderful growing youth, my work becomes easy, I overcome every weakness. Then I know why I do everything. It is not to build some miserable business that will perish, rather this work is for something lasting and eternal. A vital part of this future is the German girl, the German woman, the German woman, and thus we meet the girl, the woman, the mother." "I do not measure the success of our work by our roads. I do not measure it by our new factories, or our new bridges, or the new divisions. Rather, I measure our success by the effect we have on the German child, the German youth. If they succeed, I know our people will not perish and our work will not have been in vain." "I am convinced that no one understands our work better than the German woman. (long-lasting, jubilant applause) Our opponents think that Germany has tyrannized women. I can only reply that without the support and true devotion of the women of the party, I could never have led the movement to victory." (renewed enthusiastic applause) The Reich Women's Leader thanked the Fuehrer after the jubilation at the end of his speech had calmed down. In the name of all German women, she promised to work hard to ease his concerns. Not only the Reich Women's Leader's words, but also the jubilation of the crowd followed the Fuehrer as he left the hall. http://www.ihr.org/ http://www.natvan.com http://www.thebirdman.org http://www.nsm88.com/ http://wsi.matriots.com/jews.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
