Hendrie's guest is some crazy leftist who's doing a painfully poor job of arguing against the war in Iraq. Shrills like this guy cause normal, decent people to turn against his cause.
In any event, he repeatedly refuses to use the word "individual". What does he use instead?
"Community-member"!
He keeps saying it! This is incredible! I have used that term satirically before, but I never thought that someone would actually say that! Clearly, this is yet another example of leftists not wanting to acknowledge the concept of the individual.
Leftists love to frame debates using language; have any of you heard other leftist words/phrases recently?
Don't allow leftists to play games with definitions! Some of the libertarian-leaning leftists at this forum will try to redefine "left-wing" back to its original defition (Third Estate, limited government, free-markets, laissez-faire reforms, etc.). Fine! We non-leftists can't stop them from using their own personal definitions; they can use whatever labels they want to describe any concept they want.However, they have the audacity to then use their personal definition of "left-wing" (remember, the original definition, which is no longer valid) to prove that modern leftists are more libertarian than modern rightists! They will say that libertarianism is "inherently leftist" (again, using the original, no longer valid definition), and use that to insist that we should prefer and side with modern leftists over modern rightists.
Question their motives.
Was this a real guest?
I dunno if he's still doing the stuff he did in the old show, My radio station stopped carrying him.
Yeah, this one was real. He's the head of www.recreate68.org.
Haha I've been told I do the reverse - instead of referring to one as a friend, parent, male or female or whatever, I merely refer to them as "individuals".

Freedom of markets is positively correlated with the degree of evolution in any society...
I always get suspicious when I hear leftists talk abot "The common good".
Libertas est Veritas:Community-member 19544-D553 reporting for duty... Scary.
Is that from "Anthem"? That book, by the way is a great example of what would happen to our language if the left had their way
