Hillary Clinton- The First Mommy?
Hillary Clinton’s political ambitions reached far beyond being the first Lady. Now she wants to be the First Mother. The mother of a socialist dream. She sits in her comfy sofa chatting to the American people as if we were children saying things like “Don cha think?” She republished her book “It Takes a Village” right before announcing her candidacy.
The media has downplayed her socialist dreams for America. We all know about her plan to socialize medicine. She also wants to “socialize” families. In 1998, Concerned Women for America published an article about then President Bill Clinton announced “a $22 billion dollar daycare program benefitting government bureaucracy at the expense of parents and their children. ” Phyllis Schlafly wrote in a recent column about Hillary’s “mom strategy.”
The word village is a euphemism for government, and the concept of the village raising a child is the socialists’ dream. It’s based on the idea that children should be raised, guided and educated by an assortment of so-called experts, including teachers, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, judges, and child care employees.
Clinton invites us to “imagine a country in which nearly all children between the ages of 3 and 5 attend preschool in sparkling classrooms.” That children’s paradise is France, which “makes caring for children a top priority,” and where “more than 90 percent of French children between ages 3and 5 attend free or inexpensive preschools.”
The assumption of “It Takes a Village” is that daycare, run by tax-salaried and licensed “professionals” in centers regulated by the government, is preferable to mother care. Clinton even praises the fact that many French children are in full-day programs “even before they reach the age of 3.”
The re-issue of Hillary’s old book dispels the notion that she is re-inventing herself as a moderate. Her mom strategy is badly out of sync with her book praising a country that starts government daycare for children at age 2.
The thing I hate about the idea of a government daycare is that it would cause taxes to be raised so high that it would force women to have to work and force their children into daycare learning about alternative families and new age relaxation techniques. My biggest nightmare is hearing my daughter say “at least when Clinton lied people didn’t die.” I want my children to learn to question everything and to think for themselves. They will never learn that from a Socialist Mommy or Daddy. If the “village” is the government and if Hillary is the president, then she will be our First Mommy. Scary. . doncha think??

Ok now, this is just my opinion:
I, personally, do not think there is anything wrong with a “government daycare”. Also, I don’t think that woud FORCE women to have to work. If you don’t want to work, then don’t.
I’m not defending the witch, because I don’t like her, but I don’t think she meant she was going to force every child to attend preschool. I think she means that it will be a good idea to have that option where preschool can be available to more children than it is now. There are a lot of parents who want to send their child to preschool and cannot afford it, where as in France it is available to almost anyone.
There are a lot of programs in Hamilton County that offer free or reduced preschool for those who qualify and want their child to attend. It is also funded by the state. There is nothing wrong with that. Those children are taught well and are more than ready for Kindergarten.
There are a lot of children who enter Kindergarten who are not ready. I think THOSE are the ones that NEED to go.
Again, it’s just my opinion. Good topic.

Sorry, but it is the parent’s responsibility to prepare their children for school, not the government’s. More taxes mean less income. We lost $200 a month moving from TN to KY going to taxes and probably paying for government funded daycare. Not fair, since I am teaching my kids at home. Also, many churches provide cheap daycare based on income. Church daycare is usually better than government daycare. Some mothers have to work. No one is judging them. So the churches are there to provide those mothers with trusted care. There is absolutely no reason to have the government butt in. That is called Socialism and that is what I don’t want.

This is the scary statement for me “The word village is a euphemism for government, and the concept of the village raising a child is the socialists’ dream. It’s based on the idea that children should be raised, guided and educated by an assortment of so-called experts, including teachers, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, judges, and child care employees.”
Aren’t the parent’s supposed to be the “experts” when it comes to their children?
I worked in a partly government funded preschool and it is not something I would want to put my children into. Eventhough it was at BYU-Idaho (a mormon school) it was government funded as it was the placement center for special needs and migrant ed kids. Eventhough most of the kids were mormon we had to be very careful about religious stuff or else we would loose our funding.
Some people went all crazy if we let the kids pray because they wanted to. One of the teachers made a star ornament for each child with their name on it. Because it was Christmas time all the other teachers in my classroom went crazy over it. I was the only one who defended her! A star doesn’t just need to be hung on a christmas tree.

Yes, It is sad that there are some parents who are not parenting their children and teaching them but by offering government daycare to all children the parents who want to teach their children at home are loosing out.
The Liberal government in Canada was proposing a national daycare/preschool program and the Conservative government proposed that parents of children under the age of 5 would recieve money that could go towards daycare/preschool or towards teaching the children at home. Luckily the conservatives were elected although my dad was upset because the youngest in my family was 6.
