C'mon JD. Glenn Beck is not the originator of these ideas. The battle between collectivism and individualism is ancient. Whether those specific words are used or not does not define that battle. Of course, we do not as individuals, stand alone. We unite, as individuals, to preserve the core of freedom that was created by our Founders and made law by the Constitution. We can choose to diminish that core and hand over more and more responsibility (required for freedom) to a central government, or we can resist. Which do you choose?

Perhaps, the understatement of the entire thread

Of course, we must unite to maintain our individuality.

Yes we must unite as individuals each responsible for our own share of that unity. If we give over our personal responsibilty to the larger group to do for us what is required, as an individual, to do for ourself, we are less of an individual and more of a groupie. If more and more choose the way of the groupie, the "unity" becomes a collective dependant on the few for support and "individualism" will be scorned, seen as an unachievable trick of the selfish.

See, we agree again.
