“This isn’t about me wanting to take your kids, and this isn’t even about whether children are property. This is about whether we as a society, expressing our collective will through our public institutions, including our government, have a right to impinge on individual freedoms in order to advance a common good....

[SWAMPSNIPER]

"If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees."

Bill Clinton

"The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people."

Bill Clinton

I don't know where they get it but they all seem to believe it.

IMPINGE:
1) to strike or dash especially with a sharp collision
2) to have an effect : make an impression
3) encroach, infringe

INFRINGE:
1) to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another
2) obsolete : defeat, frustrate

[EDINVA]

I believe the medical term for her condition is:

deranged-communist-whack-o-nutjob.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Not only does she have a television show, she’s a professor.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Does she have an email address where we can express our opinion to her about her choice of words?

[Jack Hydrazine]

A professor of collectivism?

It is obvious she hangs out with very dumb, ignorant people...

[RatRipper]

ANY time the “collective” may used as the excuse for denying an individual’s rights, it places the rights of all individuals at risk. And if one, then why not small groups bound together by a common thread that stands in the way of the “common good” of the all important collective? And if smaller groups, why not larger groups that are small in comparison to the collective? Or groups like 6 million Jews, or Christians?

That leap of logic has been made several times before with unthinkable results. That political theory is utterly evil to the core and was repudiated by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution.

[Sarah Barracuda]

She’s a professor too? Indoctrination is alive and well. No wonder our nation’s youth is embracing Socialism, its been grilled into their heads everyday by Marxist scum like this bimbo

[SteveH]

apparently an affirmative action poli-sci tulane Phd and former affirmative action assistant prof at princeton, now an affirmative action talking head on msnbc focusing on african american issues.

[who knows what evil?]

Many have remarked recently that the mask has slipped...no; the mask is off.

[Third Person]

I was referring to S. Logan’s analysis of her comments.
