The collectivists are a clear present danger to the US and should be eliminated.

Now please reconcile the railing against charity with the Christian doctrine of the same. Could it be that a cub scout might be extolling Christian charity and brotherhood, rather than the Marxist kind? Is this also a bad thing? What Would Jesus Spew?

Nice red banner you've got there on your web site, Greg.

In the end, it is good for people to contribute for the good of the collective. This can be done voluntarily or it can be done through the force of law. The more it's done voluntarily, the less the socialists can make the case that it should be done through the force of law.

So, to me, the Scouts encouraging contribution to the group is a good thing. It actually prevents socialist encroachment by undermining the argument that individuals must be forced into doing what's good for the collective.

"...The collectivists are a clear present danger to the US and should be eliminated..."

Delivering collectivists up to death, whether singly or by the millions, is God's work.

A collectivist, by definition, is not a 'human being' and deserves none of the protections from harm that an authentic man or woman is decently entitled to.

You've missed completely the essence of this article. If, for instance, you are willing to turn over your guns so that the gungrabbers won't be able to confiscate them by force, you are still a supporter of the collective over the rights of the individual. You are an agnostic when it comes to individualism vs. collectivism. And that belies your collectivist soul.

I assume you are actively doing "God's work" then?

Collectivism is the final resort of the weak. Moral men must be eternally vigilant in the struggle against those that would violate their rights. Collectivists are spawned in childhood and will be forever with us. The rules of law are created to efficiently dispose of them.

LOL!

I wish!

That's a young man's job.

I DO enjoy hearing about or seeing examples of it though.

Yeah I would love to see daily reports of "God's workers" mowing down collectivist Cub Scout troops, PTA meetings and Church youth groups. Tell me is a militia also a collectivist group?

Being targeted for indoctrination is not the same thing as actively advancing the collectivist cause.

Is that difference too subtle for you?

Speaking of Reds, red banners, marxists, and communists - go to this thread and specifically this post.

What is the "collectivist cause"?

If you honestly don't know, you're too thick to be educable.

If you know, but simply want to argue, you're a waste of time.

Which category would you say fits you best?

I am just a dumb old redneck trying to get an education from my betters. I guess you don't know what the "collectivist cause" is either especially in regard to church groups and the Cub Scouts.

You may be a redneck, but you're probably not overly dumb.

You object to the depth of my contempt for communists and their ilk and you want to draw me out on the subject.

I can't see any profit in arguing with someone who doesn't consider a collectivist to be subhuman.

Thus our impasse.

What is communistic about the Cub Scouts, the PTA or Church groups any more than say the NRA or militia groups?
