Theme from DNC day one: We belong to the Government

We “belong” to the government?  "Did you happen to see the little video they ran at the convention last night?  That video conveyed the message that while we may belong to different churches and such … we all belong to the government.  The line was “The government is the only thing we ALL belong to.” "
"It’s interesting that the Democrats are now running like hell from this video.  Everyone is trying to blame it on everyone else.  Suddenly the Democrats have seen that their concept of everyone belonging to the government doesn’t look all that good in broad daylight."  Neal Boortz


DNC ad touches the Unholy Grail of anti-Constitutional thought  ""Belong."  This implies possession.  There is no ambiguity here. The Democratic message is that "we the people" are possessions of the government, and are beholden to see to its success as a collective machine."

Hot Air; DNC attendees: Yeah, it’s pretty awesome to belong to the government  "The Obama campaign is backing away from the video, but DNC attendees sure aren’t.
“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”
