"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
"We're going to have to change how our body politic thinks,....what they are saying is tantamount to collectivism, a Marxist way of governing and thinking......VOTE OTHER THAN DEMOCRAT.......they are Community Organizers, power is their goal....Always VOTE for FREEDOM AND LIBERTY...neither of which Hillary and Barry want for us.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON BUMP!

When that man talks, we ALL had better listen! Remember the question about your table in Heaven, and who you would be sharing it with?

My picks:

Victor Davis Hanson
Dr. Walter E. Williams
Dr. Thomas Sowell
Mark Steyn
...and for eye candy, a 1972-vintage Paul Newman!

When Henry VIII took over the Church in England, he presumed that since he was the spiritual leader of the country that all the people owed him their spiritual allegiance, so by executive action he became the final arbiter of everyone's consciences and he took charge of all their souls. And, if you didn't think exactly the way he wanted he could charge you with treason where you were tried without legal representation and the only result would be execution.

Just ask Thomas More how that all worked out.

PUCK YOU BOTH...!!!

Our Guy:

As Obama put it: "We're going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we're going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people's impressions of what it's like to struggle in this economy looks like."

Every liberal's dream.

I once read a book about this idea actually being put into practice. And, come to think of it, they made that book into a movie.

As Obama put it:

“We’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like.”

Hands off buck-o!.... I’ll do my own thinking anyway I want to...and I’ll continue to seek the truth no matter where it’s being hid by the media.

We already tried that with disastrous results--ask the elderly survivors of the former Soviet Union under Stalin or China under Mao. Estimates of 100 to 150 million dead from mass shootings, labor camps, forced exile, deliberate famine and ill-advised economic policy during the rule of Stalin and Mao speaks volumes of why enforced political correctness is a bad idea.

As if I didn't already know; “Who gets to decide what's correct thinking>”

[Wildbill22]

The Soviets, and I think it was Stalin, tried this with the goal of “The New Soviet Man”, who would not think or act in self interest, but of the interest of the collective.

communism has nothing to do with the common good
just ask any eastern european who lived under it
THEY LEFT COMMUNISM AND NOW SEE IT HERE AND ASK WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU AMERICANS...???????

[TBP]

Utterly totalitarian, like a good “progressive”.

[zzwhale]

I’m going to love this fight, win or lose.
