if I had a peso for every time Obama or the US press said "29 year old" like it is a discrediting label. AAArrrgghhh! I'll pick one 29 year old with a good head on his shoulders who is a patriot over a bunch of elderly senators bloated on their own power any day. oh, and throw in those who got scholarships to prestigious ivy league schools because they were a certain color and from another country and at 29 were community organizers.

No, they do not care. They only care about destroying everyone who is not as radical as they are...

  Can we agree to call Obama and his ilk Collectivists? I think of myself as a radical for Individual Rights.

    I don't normally take time to really think about a reply -- what you see is what flows off the fingers. But I did for yours. Not sure why, but here goes:
    
    I don't think of pBO (et al) as collectivists. There is something else that seems to be going on in the undercurrent.
    
    They are like Loki or lucifer or Voldemort -- a "destroying angel" figure who does so as much for personal pleasure as for power and gain.
    
    Nothing they do is for our good -- and given the massive amounts of money they are wasting doing stupid things like keeping the price of gold suppressed, it seems much of what they do is not even for their personal gain.
    
    No, I'm afraid I don't see them as "good" as collectivists -- they are much more evil and much more motivated towards destruction and death than that.

    Good point, but I want another, more descriptive word in front of "collectivists" that suits them to a T. Because they are MORE than just your random collectivists.

      Wow... you are really on to something. So, if pBO is already "set up" he doesn't have motivation for personal gain. It's a bigger issue, ie. POWER. Not just power over the US... using the US to gain power over the free world. Unfortunately, for them, I see weakness emerging. Today, we have all these not so "phoney scandels".. and just today, Russia gave Snowden asylum...Now, that's huge! What an embarrassment to pBO. My mantra remains HE IS IN OVER HIS HEAD. So, if we are just a little LUCKY... and IF the Republicans can CAPITALIZE on these blips.. maybe we can fight off the destruction and death again from the collectivist PUPPETS. Huh?

        I hope he drowns in his own "phony" scandals, however, I'm not holding my breath as a lot lot lot LOT more people (not just republicans) will have to wake up and start pointing and calling it what it is. Brewing tyranny.
