Is that from "Anthem"?

Naaw, just random wise-assery. Never actually read a Rand book. Or any libertarian books for that matter (unless you include Austrian literature).

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

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".

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.

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?
