The reason the right does so well on talk radio but the left is nearly non-existent there is because in that medium you state your views unfiltered with no worry about being political, and when the left do that, they scare even themselves.
Still, that seems to be MSNBC’s new advertising strategy. Just look at this ad where they have one of their hosts talking about how parents shouldn’t be the one making decisions for their children and instead it should be done by the Borg collective (yes, she actually used the term “collective”).
Isn’t this the choice the left usually give, though? You can either have decision making power in the hands of the people who care the most, i.e., the people making decisions for themselves and their families, or in the hands of those who just really like to pretend to care like government officials and Melissa Harris-Perry (man, I just have trouble taking hyphen names seriously). They love to act like they care about individuals, but they really just sorta care about this amorphous blob called “society” they love to play with like its Play-Doh, molding it to different shapes with no worries about how that affect the individual. A parent cares that her child is in a failing school now and wants a solution now, while pro-government people are too concerned with “society” to worry about the individual. If we help that one kid now with a voucher, why that could hurt public school and “society”! Thus the kid is condemned to a failing school while government official fiddle around tweaking things because that’s supposed to be better for everyone. These aren’t the actions closer to a sociopath than someone who cares about your kid.
It’s like if the left were more honest — talk radio honest — with their views, they’d tell a woman worried about rape that, “Yeah, you might get raped if we disarm you, but while you’re being raped, just think of how better society is with less guns in it!” It’s what the left obviously believes from their actions, but — outside of MSNBC — they usually have enough shame not to say such things.
Anyway, the point is, decision power needs to be the individual making decisions for himself, because he’s the one who actually cares and doesn’t treat this all as some game with each individual just a pawn. The people who actually care making the important decisions is freedom, and it’s the antithesis of the left’s collective.
Actually, it’s even worse than you think. They’re actually telling those victims that they’ll probably die…

Obama economics: Play Dough
All other Obama policies: Play D’Oh
The ‘decision power’ needs to reside with the Constitutional rights of the person making them.
Parents of America, Melissa Harris-Perry says she wants a hand in raising your children. I recommend that you take her up on it by sending her your orthodontist bills. If she proves she can handle that responsibility then maybe you can give her some more.

Hell, send her the kidlets’ smartphone and cable bills too. The kids need to visit their grandparents in Haleiwa, Hawaii? Have Auntie Melissa foot the bill. Erm…I’m thinking of getting the youngest a ’56 Chevy Nomad for his 16th birthday, think you could chip in a bit, Auntie? Do your bit for the fam, y’know. Since you want to stick your beak in.
Wow. The above are the “front court” commenters at IMAO. (Go Louisville!)
Nah – more like “juvenile court”.
Dem Strategy: Have the defenseless rape victim fill out a comment card if she had difficulties “just laying back and enjoying it.”
“Your Children Will Be Assimilated.”
Resistance Is Futile!
The Collective Approves This Message.
This my friends is the best part:
“We do live in a nation where slaveholders took the infants from the arms of my foremothers and sold them for their own profit. We do live in a nation where the government snatched American Indian children from their families and “re-educated” them by forbidding them to speak their language and practice their traditions.”
If she really believes that, then why is she surprised that people are up in arms. It worked out so well for the Africans and Indians. We try not to make the same stupid mistakes over and over again because that would be insanity, children, and it like cannabalism is frowned on my clear thinking peoples everywhere.
Somebody set us up Obama.
All your child are belong to us.
You have no choice to survive. Make your time.
