Chuck Todd: Half This Country Believes In Collectivism
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Collectivism: a political or economic theory advocating collective control especially over production and distribution.

If Chuck Todd is right, our country is in trouble. On Morning Joe today, discussing President Obama's "you didn't build that" remarks, NBC political director Todd opined that "half this country believes" we are about collectivism.

Yes. Collecting from the other half. And when they get tired and pack it in what happens?

Think about it: 50% of people in this country don’t pay taxes. I would guess more than 50% of those people are on some sort of government assistance and would scream bloody murder if it was pulled from them.

Sadly, Chuckie Todd is right. 50% of the people in this country probably do believe Obama’s way of thinking, and if every one of them shows up to vote in November, we truly are in big trouble.

Thanks to Holder’s DoJ, however, there will be plenty more than 100% of them voting, and even if they get caught, they won’t be prosecuted.

“Half this country believes in collectivism”

This from Chuck Todd... the same brainiac who commented that Obama is some kind of god.

Bye, Chuckles. Thanks for playing.

Chuck Todd: Half This Country Believes In Collectivism

Sure, the half that's freeloading off the half that works for a living. Or, to put it another way, the half that's too lazy to steal and relies on the government to do it for them.

Chickie may be right but fortunately only about half of them will vote. The next time you hear something like, “Half of America gets some kind of a check from the government” remember that includes Social Security and civil service and military pensions.

Wow...I finally agree with Chuckie.

But, he thinks that if half the country believes it, then it must work.

There is a difference between “belief” and “what really is.”

Yes. We ARE in big trouble! As far as I’m concerned there are only 2 kinds of people in this country. There are makers and there are takers and the takers are starting to out number the makers. When they start getting off their lazy asses and outvote us as well we’re doomed.

I think that the percentage is lower, but still very large. Many people are just in Obama’s congregation yelling ‘Amen’ in the hopes that he might throw their group a bone.

I still think that maybe 70% of Americans still believe in Individual Opportunity. But hey, I’m feeling optimistic this morning!

Half of Americans don’t think at all....they just exist. They don’t know what collectivism is and don’t care. Their world is the check they get from the gov’t...free money, don’tchaknow....Obama money...before BO, they were entitled to it so the only change is the president. Just keep voting Democrat and check the mail.

Sad, but true.

How is this a surprise? Romney is a Progressive by his own words from about 1992.

Right... in the meantime, just ask one of these people who believe in ‘collectivism’ if they can point to even ONE successful, stable and prosperous country with this kind of a system in place.

Hey Chuckleberry T. !!!

Your Liberal Agenda Media Training program is finally taking hold on the mushed minds of the Government-schooled masses. Forward!

Uh, just a couple of questions though, yeah, I know that you are busy.

Your boy, yeah, the creepy-commie-Kenyan, - - , yeah, Obama, says that the Government-Controlled roads and Government-Controlled Schools are important, and I understand that if the goal is for The Government to create more Roads Scholars.

Yeah, I’m getting to my question.

My question is, “Why are there more poor folks than rich folks when everybody uses the same roads?”

Right, good point, not everybody uses the same schools.

Why, just look at your boy Obama, he went to so many hush-hush schools that he had to illegally seal his own school documents.

Guess it is all part of being a transparent public servant - - - .

One more question: Is it true that “If you build it the Government will come and tax and regulate it?”

Chuckleberry, - - - ! Come back! You haven’t answered either question!

Chuckleberry! Here is a slogan for you to use:

Blacktop or Concrete,
Government Roads Scholars
Can’t be beat!

FORWARD WITH COMMUNE AMERIKA !

(BTW, don’t ALL “Government” projects get built by private contractors that are paid in blood-soaked taxpayer dollars?)
