War Against Individualism
Good morning! Actually feeling human today …. So let’s get started:
A quote for you to muse over today .. one from Joe Biden. I found it on a Tweet from @JamesPethokoukis from the American Enterprise Institute … and upon stealing his material, I started writing. Now think about this when Biden is on the stage with GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan tonight. This I something that Biden said in 2008:
“For too long in this society we have celebrated
unrestrained individualism over the common community.”
Before we move ahead with this, I just must point out to you that this “common community” phrase is the core idea behind the word “communism.” No … I’m not one who screams communist at everyone with a (D) after their name, but I do recognize that the philosophy exists and I have a rather good understanding of the underpinnings of Lenin and Marx. One thing is clear … communism cannot co-exist with a society that values the individual.
Now … since I have now presented you with a quote from Joe Biden, let’s try a few more quotes. See if you can figure out who uttered these lovely phrases. This will mean a lot more to those of you who actually value your worth as an individual rather than as merely another cog in the gears of society:
Quote 1. “We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all.”
Quote 2. “We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what’s best for society.”
Any guesses? The surprise comes later. You need to hold on a few more moments while we discuss the war against individuality

Before I read Boortzs’ comments I was nauseated at that Biden quote. I mumbled to myself “that’s pure *^#¥ing communism”
I really didn’t pay too much attention to Biden in 2008 or now up until this debate and seeing this quote. I just bought into the drunken uncle (Drunkle) meme and was focused on the SCOAMF. Now i see Biden is a sick bastard every bit as much as his boss.

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”
Ayn Rand
That’s one of the most profound things I’ve ever read that was written by a human being.

They have infected our schools with their “Common Core” curriculum of communism. And because of that, your home schooling curriculum should always include thorough defense weapons training. The next generation will need guns even more than we do now.

Those quotes at the end have to be from another famous socialist, Adolph Hitler (But don’t worry, “It can’t happen here”.

It is interesting to note that liberals are believers in “spreading the wealth around”, when it is other people’s money. Being a liberal in “public service” can be a very profitable office to hold.
As for the common community, they have their own self-justifications for exempting themselfs from it. Must be a burden to more equal than others.
