Parenting 101...from Hillary Clinton...ugh!

This is just the beginning, but watch out for Hillary Clinton pandering to every perceived conservative or mainstream group and cause with whom she can land a speaking gig leading up to '08...

Hil frets chips will be put in kids' brains
BY MICHAEL McAULIFFDAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON - Madison Ave. ad execs are so bent on taking control of America's children, they'd put computer chips in kids' brains if they could, Sen. Hillary Clinton said yesterday.
Saying advertisers have found so many new ways to get at kids through video games and the Internet, Clinton warned that we're verging on a society out of a grim science fiction novel.

"At the rate that technology is advancing, people will be implanting chips in our children to advertise directly into their brains and tell them what kind of products to buy," Clinton said at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

"People are spending billions and billions of dollars enticing children basically to be obsessed with food," she said. "These foods are almost universally unhealthy." Clinton has offered legislation to study the effects of the "advertising-saturated, media-intense" world on kids.
Robert Thompson, a professor of pop culture at Syracuse University, said Clinton and other politicians like to attack advertising because it's easier than trying to ban bad food products or fund broad education programs.
"To go after advertising really makes no sense," he said. "It's sort of a backdoor tack, but it's the safer one politically."

Here's the standard liberal playbook of how to speak to a group of voters in a family organization: 1. Scare them by describing an imaginary threat to their children. 2. Coax them into believing you are on their side by feigning outrage at the perceived threat. 3. When they are sufficiently scared and clearly clamoring for a solution, tell them you will champion their cause with new government regulations designed to protect their children.

Typical of liberal dogma regarding parenting, never once is there uttered the phrase "parental responsibility".
In keeping with her transparently socialist book "It Takes a Villiage", which she had ghost written, it is her intention to have the government responsible for taking care of your kids. I don't ever remember her suggesting that parents simply turn off the computer, television and playstation.

If it were me speaking to a family group about childhood nutrition, I would say, "What are you people, idiots? When your bratty kids demand another twinkie...just say NO."

Another practical solution is just don't buy unhealthy food and keep it at home. When the kid asks for chocolate frosted sugar bombs for breakfast, tell them to shut-up and eat their oat-meal. Oh, I forgot, it might damage the childs self-esteem to be told NO...can't have that. All this angst over nutrition would be moot if parents would kick their kids out of the house in the mornings, and not let them back in until dinner...they can have a peanut butter sandwich on the porch for lunch. This way they have to be active in order to entertain themselves...then they can have all the junk food in the world and it won't hurt them.

Bottom line with Hillary or any other liberal for that matter: more government is good. The fewer freedoms we have as Americans, the better the liberals believe the world will be. Ordinary Americans aren't wise enough to make decisions for ourselves so the government, with Hillary in charge of course, will make our decisions for us.

I can't begin to describe the nausea that overtakes me when I imagine her as President.
