no..notice how nobody on this board full of liberals has responded? it's downright scary nanny state rhetoric and they know it but will still vote for "their guy" regardless even if he bit off a newborns head on stage at the convention.

Liberals will vote for Obama because they think he can magically legalize gay marriage nationwide and give pregnant women free abortions and free birth control.

Re: Government is the only thing we all belong to
i dont belong to government either, government belongs to me. i elect them to SERVE me..not vice versa. it's not some organization to be a part of, they're just servants.

we are all under the umbrella of the same laws and rules.. is it that hard for you to undertand? Is this not true? Or are you going to parse words and attack a soundbite?

that's the ideal, but obviously it has been betrayed, perverted, reversed.
the 1% and corps have captured govt, they own and operate it for their enrichment. And there's nothing to be done about it. Their wealth and power faces no countervailing power.
If the "ideal" were fulfilled, I wouldn't care which party was in power. There would be differences, but they would be constrained by the overriding priority of serving the citizenry.

What a dumbshit slogan, tbh.... we don't belong to the government, the government belongs to us.... of course, let's not pretend that Team Red feels any different from Team Blue on this issue, tbh....

Re: Government is the only thing we all belong to
Well, back to the wood shed for another Democrat...
UPDATE: An Obama aide emails that the Charlotte host committee, not the Obama campaign, produced the video:
“The video in question was produced and paid for by the host committee of the city of Charlotte. It’s neither an OFA nor a DNC video, despite what the Romney campaign is claiming. It's time for them to find a new target for their faux outrage."
And Dan Murrey, the executive director of the Charlotte in 2012 Host Committee, said in an emailed statement:
Quote:
The “Welcome to Charlotte” video was solely produced and paid for by the Host Committee’s New American City Fund, which promotes the city of Charlotte and welcomes our guests. The intent of this video was to tell the story of this region and it is completely unaffiliated with the Obama campaign or the Democratic National Committee.
So, if I've got this right, the Democrats kicked off their convention with a video they neither vetted nor agree with?
:lmao

Re: Government is the only thing we all belong to
They are always lying and backtracking and the mindless drones just go with it. I am firmly convinced that Obama could go up there and say that his plan was to destroy America and if they came back the next day and said "just kidding" he wouldn't lose any votes.

^except they actually said it. "government is the only thing we all belong to." the fact that you don't see a problem with it means that you probably need a lot more than an English dictionary, tbh.

I hope my country can give me lots of free stuff, or at the very least raise taxes on people I don't like just to make their life more difficult.

Re: Government is the only thing we all belong to
This is all very helpful. I mean, the right wing doesn't actually live out the "empowered citizen" ideal any more than the left does, but the concept that the government belongs to the people rather than the other way around is part of the right-wing Enlightenment-Social Contract-Founding Fathers mythology. That it is now a dog-whistle that the left can't hear is immensely powerful, especially since when the rubber hits the road the right-wingers will be the ultimate lapdogs of authoritarianism.

Just about all the moron-conservatives here completely missed the context and meaning of this statement.
They call Mitt Romney a successful businessman just for having money... never mind he has been saved out by favorable bankrupcty laws many times.
The reality of situations means little to these social darwinists. "Ask what you can do for your country" is way down on the list of priorities for the last majority of these fools.
This is just all superficial nonsense, typical of conservatives.

Re: Government is the only thing we all belong to
the government is broke and it owes another country (which's not even friendly to us) an astronomical figure of debt that it'll never redeem. america needs a revolution to overturn the current government and the huge debts are automatically gone, replacing it with a new government that belongs to the people.
