"The entire concept of our form of government is based on individual rights and responsibilities. There is not one mention of community "rights" in the Constitution. The very idea is unconstitutional as is all forms of communitarian ideologies."

Bull$hit.

"Every society has a right to fix the fundamental principles of its association, and to say to all individuals, that if they contemplate pursuits beyond the limits of these principles and involving dangers which the society chooses to avoid, they must go somewhere else for their exercise; that we want no citizens, and still less ephemeral and pseudo-citizens, on such terms. We may exclude them from our territory, as we do persons infected with disease." -- Thomas Jefferson to William H. Crawford, 1816

Care to provide the Article and Section that's found in, or something to provide a context as to what Article and Section it's referring to?

Shame on you paulsen for using the words of Jefferson to defend your communitarian agenda.

We all 'know' old Tom. He was no commie.
