0bamaCare is one of the most blatant examples of that. It promotes collective rights and denies individual rights. Everyone's actions are viewed through the lens of "You must benefit the state. Actions that oppose or lessen state power will be punished."

Thank you for the link.

I agree completely. We have to be careful to watch so-called conservatives who have our "best interests at heart" with regards to the food chain, too.

I was outraged in 2005 when Rick Santorum pushed a bill (iirc, it was called PAWS) which was approved of by the US Humane Society (the animal rights organization, not your local Humane Society) and sponsored by Dick Durbin (D) & Arlen Spector (eventual D), which would have placed the burden of fees and "compliance expenses", plus invasive home inspections and record keeping on people who raise pets (and probably small farmers). He tried to pass animal rights-related legislation at least 3 times.

Thankfully, it failed every time, as it would have federalized small breeders would have created a paperwork and record keeping nightmare. Who would want to breed animals, even a few, if it gave the federal government the right to come into your home?

His attempts had everything to do with animal "rights" and nothing to do with animal welfare. This from a so-called "conservative" who thinks he knows better than the rest of us how to do things.
