DNC video: “Government is the only thing that we all belong to”
Hotair ^

Yes, rest assured, Romney and the GOP are already working on ads about this. It’s the GOP that cut the clip and circulated it, in fact. Mitt himself evidently can’t wait to get started:

People are going to follow Romney’s lead and seize on the word “belong” but that’s only half the problem. Even if Democrats had chosen a phrase that didn’t connote ownership, like “participate in” (Obama’s preferred turn of phrase when pushing this idea is “doing things together”), this is still a creepy, spurious justification for expanding government.

Aaahhh yes, the “collective”....since they stripped G-d out of the platform...of course the “collective” is the replacement.

Theologically I respectfully disagree. We're all God's creation, but, we're not all God's children. Even Jesus told some folks in the Bible: "You are of your father, the devil." Just sayin'
