According to the AP, Clinton had not commented on Santorum's book, but this Tuesday, the article tells of an exchange
...when the two senators passed each other in the basement of the Capitol.I liked some of the comments on the blog discussion in response.
"It takes a village, Rick, don't forget that," Clinton called out.
"It takes a family," he countered.
"Of course, a family is part of a village!" she replied.
The two continued on in opposite directions.
The 449-page book by Santorum tackles domestic issues ranging from home schooling to welfare reform, and promotes family over what he describes as the big government, or village, in Clinton's 1996 book.
Hillary ruined the perfectly valid concept of a community being involved in the rearing of children, under the authority of the parents, by co-opting it to mean that the government and the community should rear the children without necessarily deferring to the authority of the parents.

Spoken like a true Stalinist. Sorry dude, the government doesn't tell me what the right societal values are-- WE tell the government what the right societal values are. And we Christians are informed by the Bible, while you atheists invent it out of whole cloth.
