Liberals have never answered the question: what of those who do not choose to join in a "common end" that government has chosen for them? What of those who refuse to "belong to government"? These unfortunate souls must be dealt with, as Obama's departments and agencies are dealing with them: by silencing them, litigating against them, jailing them, and ruining their businesses and reputations. Those tactics, and more, were exactly what European leftists from Mussolini to Stalin resorted to.
Obama's tactics include his continual attacks on the opposition for what he calls "partisan bickering" -- a charge he repeated on Sept. 20 during a television interview on Univision. Actually, Obama labels every divergence from his own opinions "partisanship." This refusal to engage in reasonable discussion is the president's most distressing trait, because it is a trait that he shares with tyrants of the past. Just this week, when the Romney campaign raised the issue of the president's "bumps in the road" comment, Obama's press secretary suggested that it was "offensive" for an opponent to question the president's language. Are we at the point where a president's judgment can no longer be examined?

Romney: 47% are dependent on government
Obama: 100% are dependent on government
Any dissent is “noise.”
If he doesn’t get everything hr wants, Obama takes his basketball and goes home.
Yet I can't see the pyramids along the Nile because the Muslim Brotherhood, with Obama's support, now runs Egypt.
From back in the day: ‘All you base are belong to us.’ (Somethings never change.)
When Obama isn’t smiling, his expression is downright scary (you can see his deep-seated anger).
Obama’s good frien Bill Ayers had a solution.
Very si,kilar to Hitler’s “final solution” for Jews.
Ayers suggested thjat 25 to 30 million who did not believe in their collectivism would have to be ‘eliminated’
Thats right- killed, for not believing in communism
Scary and evil.
I’ll belong to government like a tornado belongs to a trailer park.
The 47% is low according to Art Cashin. The tipping point has already been reached with over 51%. The question is, do those dependent on government realize that they must not ‘kill the goose that lays the golden eggs’?
(in the words of Robert A. Heinlein):
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.”
LOL! That was good!
Between those working for the government and those simply getting a check, I’ve heard the numbers are in the 160 million range in a population of 300 million.
I hope that in the debates Romney can provoke Obama into visibly losing his temper.
Those in the workforce that create the value (or build wealth) that supports those dependents (including those that capture value from the public largess) are getting smaller and smaller.
However, those closer to the source of government revenue including deficit spending are benefitting most from this form of ‘trickle down’ central planning.
I clicked on your link, and like so many other times on the net... I ended up spending the last half hour listening to music related to the one in the link. :) That was an awesome era of music.
