“What always comes into my mind when in this context is how my father would bully me, berate me and beat me and then insist I was not to cry, not to resent, and then he’d hit me again. — because I cried OR because I did not cry.I felt such identification with what was being presented [by Reverend Wright] that I never felt the object of it. As well, the people all around me didn’t act as if I were the object either. Nor was this by any means the entire service. The service, the address, the sermon rolled, it really rolled, from abject hell to the sublimity of paradise. And I was caught on the wave.”

Clinton – Conservative at heart?
Posted by Henric C. Jensen on March 23, 2008
“There’s a reason Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she’s a lot more vulnerable than Obama. You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that “through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as “The “Fellowship,” also known as The Family.”
The Family…the most conservative, power focused and fundamentalist Xian Cult there is, and Hillary Clinton has been an “elite member” for 15 years. Interesting, don’t you think? Yet, as I said about the Red Herring the Konservative, Korporate and Kapitalist Fox News is trying to create to derail Barack Obama’s campaign, I can’t help but think that Mother Jones and the Nation is trying the same by publishing this. On the other hand, apparently Hillary Clinton’s involvement with the Family has been covered up by someone. Let’s not forget that Clinton has been closer than most to the Power, and it’s associates within the Konservative, Korporate and Kapitalist Organizations than most – she is also the only woman to get into High Power Politics as a result of her husband having been the President of the US. So there would plenty of “behind the scenes” people to keep her membership of The Family out of the Public Eye.
Given this, Red Herring or not, it is interesting that Clinton’s Campaign has not jumped on the bandwagon in the wake of the Wright-Obama disclosure. Also given that Konservative, Korporate and Kapitalist Fox News, which is exactly that; Konservative, Korporate and Kapitalist, it’s notable that THEY have not picked up this – after all politically they would be behind John McCain. So something is definitely fishy here. My guess is that despite being a candidate for the Democrats, Hillary is indeed as conservative as can be.
