On The Morning Joe, Thursday, Howard Dean, while defending Obama’s, “You didn’t build that” speech, made it clear what the modern Democrat Party believes.

And then he coughs on his hand, gross, hasn’t he gotten the orders from Sebelius to use his elbow? Geez, don’t shake Howard’s hand, just sayin’.

For the record, I don’t watch The Morning Joe, I have no interest in the show, but my husband made it a point to come and tell me when he watched it on Thursday. He will sit through really bad movies until the bitter end as well.

Scarborough, although I figured out where he was headed with his explanation of conservative philosophy, doesn’t seem to have a very good handle on it, and after tripping over himself to bring Dean in the conversation, he then doesn’t even react to Dean’s words.

Howard Dean said, “We are a nation of 310 million people, not a nation of individuals.”

Somehow, we are one. I disagree vehemently with Obama, Dean, Emmanuel, Sebelius, Napolitano, and so on, but I’m at one with them? How does that work?

If somebody takes my hand, (not Dean, hopefully, what a germy gross-out) and says I’m going to go with them, and I don’t want to go, I pull back and away and say no. Are they saying I have no free will in their view? I have no choices? I have no say?

In that sentence, in defense of Obama, and in line with his world view, I am nothing.

In that world view, I am not special, I have no self-worth, I am not in charge of my life.

It’s not surprising that Joe Scarborough didn’t react to that sentence, but it should scare the hell out of you.

    Com'on Jen give them a break!
    They were indoctrinated beginning in kindergarten and then in high school they contracted the disease called socialism. It's not their fault.
    Only Freedom can be the cure.
    End the fed,

    Before SS, before Medicare and before Wilson and the 16th Amendment and before Howard Dean was born we were a country that did just fine without the political class that Dean represents. Exactly what is he trying to say? That we need the likes of his ilk to make sure that Americans can interact non-volitionally to take care of each other? I not only don’t think so, I know so. Dean and his ilk are associated with our worst days and we rely on the likes of him and re-elect these dolts the worst of these days are yet to come.

    Let the 310 million pay the taxes and leave us individuals alone.

    This is a losing issue with these fools yet they persist in doubling down on it with the hope that we will get it. It is not about who puts in the roads and who provides protection and safety? We understand that somethings are done collectively by government and those jobs we pay taxes to have them do.

    It is not the job of government to provide for a transfer of wealth and the federal government, unlike state governments, is specifically directed with limited, very restricted authority to spend what they collect in taxes within those parameters.

    We know that this ploy by Warren, Obama and Dean is not about what government is empowered to do but about what they would like it to do, that, unfortunately, it has already been doing for a very long time. The fact of the matter is that what they want is more of what they have already gotten which is why we are in this economic morass in the first place. Furthermore, the process has damaged American individualism and the entrepreneurial spirt and has created generations of dependents that have never learned how to participate in the American Dream. Their solution is the problem and when it ceases to be applied the country will begin to heal.
