Jesus Sayings About The Poor. Luke 6:20-21 Then he looked up at his disciples and said: 'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 'Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. 'Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
That’s exactly why I look to Wikipedia for information. It doesn’t gloss over or only highlight what you want it to be.She has weathered many storms and had grace and dignity.
After law school, Hillary could have gone to work for a prestigious law firm, but took a job at the Children’s Defense Fund. She worked with teenagers incarcerated in adult prisons in South Carolina and families with disabled children in Massachusetts. It sparked a lifelong passion for helping children live up to their potential.
As first lady of the United States, Hillary fought to help pass health care reform. When that effort failed, she didn’t give up: Hillary worked with Republicans and Democrats to help create the Children’s Health Insurance Program. CHIP cut the uninsured rate of American children by half, and today it provides health care to more than 8 million kids.
When terrorists attacked just months after Hillary became U.S. senator from New York, she worked to make sure the 9/11 first responders who suffered lasting health effects from their time at Ground Zero got the care they needed.
Standing in front of a U.N. conference and declaring that “women’s rights are human rights” was more controversial than it sounds today. Many within the U.S. government didn’t want Hillary to go to Beijing. Others wanted her to pick a less polarizing topic (you say polarizing, we say half the population). But Hillary was determined to speak out about human rights abuses, and her message became a rallying cry for a generation.
Hillary worked across the aisle to expand health care access for members of the National Guard and reservists—making sure those who served and their families had access to health care when they returned home. And she worked to expand the Family Medical Leave Act, allowing families of those wounded in service to their country to take leave in order to care for their loved ones.
During her term as Secretary of State, Clinton used her position to make women’s rights and human rights a focus of U.S. initiatives. She became one of the most traveled secretaries of state in American history. She promoted the use of social media to convey the country’s positions. She also led U.S. diplomatic efforts in responding to the Arab Spring and military intervention in Libya.

Forbes estimates of their wealth range at $50 million; the Clintons got there through hard work, while also benefiting from their fame and their friendships.

What they seem not to have done, contrary to Internet theories, is break any laws.

“The Clintons have always been very careful to walk about two inches inside the line,” said Michael Johnston, a professor emeritus at Colgate University who is researching public perceptions of legal and illegal corruption.

He said the wealthy have usually dominated American politics, and the system enables successful politicians to move up. “Money is very, very familiar [in presidential politics] and so are the people who have it,” he said.

The Clintons built their wealth in two stages: first in Arkansas, and then on the East Coast after Bill’s presidency ended.
This is an excerpt of Hillary Clinton’s own words explaining her faith:
Hillary Clinton Gets Personal on Christ and Her Faith

KNOXVILLE, Iowa — Hillary Clinton is Methodist, but she rarely talks about her faith on the campaign trail.

On Monday, at a town-hall-style event in a school gymnasium here, Jessica Manning, 36, a high school guidance counselor from Pella, Iowa, told Mrs. Clinton that as a Catholic and a Democrat, she felt conflicted. She explained that she had called into a Catholic radio show to discuss whom to support in the presidential race, and the host advised that she back a candidate based on faith, rather than blindly supporting any one political party.

“I would say I am a Democrat because of my Christian values, but many of my friends would say they are Republicans because of their Christian values,” Mrs. Manning said. “So in these next few months as I am supporting you and defending you to my Republican friends,” she continued, “I am just curious, how you would say your beliefs align with the Ten Commandments and is that something that’s important to you?”

The question gave Mrs. Clinton a rare opportunity to speak at length about her views on Christianity and the Bible. Below is her complete response:
nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/01/25/hillary-clinton-gets-personal-on-christ-and-her-faith/
“Thank you for asking that. I am a person of faith. I am a Christian. I am a Methodist. I have been raised Methodist. I feel very grateful for the instructions and support I received starting in my family but through my church, and I think that any of us who are Christian have a constantly, constant, conversation in our own heads about what we are called to do and how we are asked to do it, and I think it is absolutely appropriate for people to have very strong convictions and also, though, to discuss those with other people of faith. Because different experiences can lead to different conclusions about what is consonant with our faith and how best to exercise it.

The idea you heard on the radio of looking at individuals, I think, is absolutely fair. My study of the Bible, my many conversations with people of faith, has led me to believe the most important commandment is to love the Lord with all your might and to love your neighbor as yourself, and that is what I think we are commanded by Christ to do, and there is so much more in the Bible about taking care of the poor, visiting the prisoners, taking in the stranger, creating opportunities for others to be lifted up, to find faith themselves that I think there are many different ways of exercising your faith. But I do believe that in many areas judgment should be left to God, that being more open, tolerant and respectful is part of what makes me humble about my faith, and I am in awe of people who truly turn the other cheek all the time, who can go that extra mile

Pretty sure the Catechism speaks about sexual assault, undeclared and unending wars overseas, opposed to the illegal and immoral use of torture, violations against the poor, unborn, elderly, immigrants, racial discrimination, inciting violence, and many other serious concerns about the “winner” of the 2016 presidential election.

In “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” the U.S. bishops explicitly say:
  1. “As Catholics we are not single-issue voters.” (#42)
  2. A voter “should take into account a candidate’s commitments, character, integrity, and ability to influence a given issue. In the end, this is a decision to be made by each Catholic guided by a conscience formed by Catholic moral teaching.” (#37)
  3. “A Catholic who rejects a candidate’s unacceptable position [on abortion] may decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons.” (#35)
Catholic Democrats, even those who are pro-life, believe that there are morally grave reasons to vote for a pro-choice Democrat over a Republican who is for criminalizing abortion and victimizing the poor and elderly.

I voted my conscience.

So you like talk all compromise and and unity but act out in a different way. You will only compromise if we agree with you. See the problem is your premise that Trump is all these bad things you say he is when that is only a character of who you want us to believe he is.

Hypocrite much?

Yes her only flaw is that she has no problems about killing an unborn child right up to the day that it is born.

Your glasses are a bit rosy I think.
 
I can’t believe this thread hasn’t been shut down yet. Or, since the topic is Hillary Clinton, “mysteriously vanished” or something along those lines.

Exactly, it’s totally irrelevant to today’s major problems.
