good to hear! :)

Sorry- been in conference this week so not online much. Doing well, baby is good and I will not be surrendering her to the collective any time soon!

My child is my responsibility, not my neighbors' or my community's. But then too many parents today don't even know the meaning of the word responsibility.

This fascist isn't referring to neighborhood associations like the PTA, the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce, when she talks about surrendering our children to the 'community'. She's using the safer and less provocative substitute term, that until recently was known as the 'collective'. And, that term itself, is a safer and less provocative substitute for what was known just a bit less recently as the 'state'.

We're not misled a bit by the tactical semantics of dialectical Communism.

This gal, like her proletariat predecessors is a threat to the very concept of the preeminence of the individual in our society and of the values our Founders incorporated into the US Constitution.

There is a not so subliminal hatred of our Republic oozing out of this woman's every pore. She despises individual freedom of action because it is the unpredictable, messy, mistake prone, trial and error kind of existence that behavioral totalitarians fear most.

Treasonous prattle pure and simple. And, of course, the irony they refuse or are incapable of comprehending, is that they will be among the very first to be picked up in the middle of the night by some acronym for a police agency, when the 'state' they aspire to becomes a reality.

Our children belong to the community? I wouldn't permit most of the members of my own middle class neighborhood to babysit my dogs, let alone surrender responsibility to some commune committee for my children's values and mores.

"your children's education, or your life..." Galt's Speech
listening to it tonight

:)

Thank you. It's because I'm a parent, not a collective groupie. :-)

Smart girl and taught well :)

From the mouth of my daughter, "Be quiet lady! Kids DO belong with their families!" She remembered what I said about the word "collective, collectivism, etc." Get as far away from the people that use it, because they are out to do you harm.

hmm, there were two best phrases of the day
what to do....

I concur 100% that those "people" who think this way should get the f out of MY country, which was NOT founded on socialist principles, but as a Republic. I bore both of my children from my own body, they "belong" to no one but themselves. I as their mother, am charged with raising them to be responsible, rational adults. To not follow the blind path of the sheeple who wish to trample to dust any idea that a person belongs to themselves.

Keep your f ing communist hands off of my family, or suffer the wrath of a mother!!!

I am sick and tired of not being able to speak plainly/ directly to these idiots. Melissa Harris-Perry who the %$&* do you think you are? You can kiss my ---! You may sell your sovereignty and that of your children to the slavers, but I will keep mine and defend it for others.
I suppose she would like to put them all in a camp and dress them in brown... happy little brown-shirts they would be... Presumptuous pretentious professor of propaganda...

Agenda 21, anybody?

Instead of sensible people trying to find a gultch to relocate to, the dystopians should just move to a country already suited to their ideals. China comes to mind… It is when hearing a postulate like Melissa’s that one’s dedication to non-initiation of force is tested most severely.

As stated before, this is exactly why my child is in private school.. Like hell she belongs to the "community." She may not embrace my ideals when an adult, but she will be well informed and able to make an intelligent decision.

it is just surreal

it almost seems like it's a spoof on SNL

I was editing it while you commented, so I didn't see your comment

Hiding from these a-holes, because they're "racists" for wanting their kids to think for themselves. Refer to Sean Hannity's program tonight about black conservatives. They're apparently NOT black because they're not drinking the kool aid.

Yeah, duh, I know everyone here is sane... I just don't understand the stupidity that has invaded our country... uh, wait, she is a college professor and an MSNBC host......

Well, again, at least they are finally saying what they are really trying to do. And now, it should be clear why those same types of people hate Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged.

wow.. I mean really? Wow...

The thing is people have been trying to make better investments. But, there are still too many folks who would prefer to blow their children's future on teachers who cannot even be bothered enough to teach them to read.

Tissue?

WHOA!!!! Just what the heck has this clearly psychotic person been taking? My skin is crawling!!!

In the gulch! Duh! lol

I just decided...if an edit is done to a comment AFTER I respond to it and it makes me look silly...I'm pointing down the edited comment.. So there!

S'not the first time!
