‘I Took My Opportunity’: Explosive, Emotional Debate Between Fox Business’ Charles Payne and Union Leader About Collective vs. Individual Accomplishment (With Blaze Exclusive Footage of the Pre-Argument That Didn’t Air)
Your linky is brokee.
Oh no...fix your link. I love Charles Payne!
(With Blaze Exclusive Footage of the Pre-Argument That Didn't Air)
One of the ‘Occupy’ crowd stated that we have to decide whether we want to live ‘isolated’ or as a collective. This is the fundamental divide between the left and the rest of us. We don’t want to live as a ‘collective’. We don’t want to be the ‘Borg’. We value individuality and self determinism. Isolationism and individuality are not even remotely the same things.
Further, their view of a ‘collective’ is not voluntary. It’s very much like the Borg - “You will be assimilated.” That is not in any way consistent with individual freedom, which is the bedrock of America.
The government demands some of all that and then the collective takes credit.
Works well for the looters and the moochers but not for the producers.
That’s great! It totally captures the ‘hope and change’ intent.
