This socialist , marxist traitor Obama has one goal : the destruction of America, the destruction of all individual rights, the destruction of freedom and right to own any property , namely full world socialism/collectivism.
The fundamental political conflict in America today is, as it has been for a century, individualism vs. collectivism. Does the individual’s life belong to him—or does it belong to the group, the community, society, or the state? if it belongs to the state then the individual has no right to own guns nor even property or a house.
there are 2 groups of people conservative and liberals. democrats and republicans. but really it’s a battle between individualism vs collectivism. I’m telling you all every single democrat is a collectivist and they are driving us to a state where an individual will not even be allowed to own a house nor property much less guns. but it’s the same principle : private ownership.
democrats/liberals/progressives or whatever they call themselves are just collectivists which = also marxists/socialists/communists
Individualism is the idea that the individual’s life belongs to him and that he has an inalienable right to live it as he sees fit, to act on his own judgment, to keep and use the product of his effort, and to pursue the values of his choosing. It’s the idea that the individual is sovereign, an end in himself, and the fundamental unit of moral concern. This is the ideal that the American Founders set forth and sought to establish when they drafted the Declaration and the Constitution and created a country in which the individual’s rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness were to be recognized and protected.
Collectivism is the idea that the individual’s life belongs not to him but to the group or society of which he is merely a part, that he has no rights, and that he must sacrifice his values and goals for the group’s “greater good.” According to collectivism, the group or society is the basic unit of moral concern, and the individual is of value only insofar as he serves the group. As one advocate of this idea puts it: “Man has no rights except those which society permits him to enjoy. From the day of his birth until the day of his death society allows him to enjoy certain so-called rights and deprives him of others; not . . . because society desires especially to favor or oppress the individual, but because its own preservation, welfare, and happiness are the prime considerations.”1
Individualism or collectivism—which of these ideas is correct? Which has the facts on its side?
Individualism does, and we can see this at every level of philosophic inquiry: from metaphysics, the branch of philosophy concerned with the fundamental nature of reality; to epistemology, the branch concerned with the nature and means of knowledge; to ethics, the branch concerned with the nature of value and proper human action; to politics, the branch concerned with a proper social system.

democrats are pure unadulterated evil
democrats love and trust government and democrats trust the news media.
Every democrat congressman or politician voted for Obamacare
every democrat is a socialist/marxist/collectivist who believes an individual has no rights even to own a gun nor property
every democrat is a threat to your freedom and ability to survive.
Not every democrat is a Democrat, if you know what I mean.

and so are a significant number of Republicans. How many election cycles have Conservatives gone to the polls and voted for the Republican in hopes (pleese, pleeeese, pleeeeeese, God, don't let us get crapped on again) only to be soundly shat upon before the absentee ballots are counted.
There are indeed those who believe that government exists to secure the Rights of the People, and beyond that should get out of the way and let Liberty work its wondrous work on our economy, our culture, and America, and then there are those who think that the all pervading hand of the State is essential to success--the "you didn't build that" crowd.
Well, damnit, we DID build it, often in spite of pissant regulations, corrupt officials, and an overweening multitude of regulatory PhDs who don't understand 'righty-tighty, lefty-loosey'.
America grew by leaps and bounds before there were squadrons of regulators amongst us, and could do so again in their absence.
Whose side am I on? America's!
Come here, be here, learn the language, join up or spend your tourist dollars and go home.
Shut down the host of agencies which have no Constitutional Mandate, and by that I mean original intent. Which of the Founders would have stopped you from filling a low spot on your land? From burning wood to heat your home? Or coal? Instead, they understood the blessings of natural resources, given by the Creator who laid the very foundations of the Earth, and in thankful prudence, used those resources.
Not all were perfect in that prudence, but those who were close prospered, those who were not, often did not.
Yes the Democrats are evil, or at least their philosophies are, but many Republicans have placed their personal profit and gain ahead of solid Statesmanship as well.
I claim neither party. My vote will be earned, and I remain a steadfast proponent of the idea that every election should include "none of the above" as a last choice, and should that choice prevail, a new ticket would have to be presented for a ballot.
