Well, isn’t that special! According to The One, Celebration of the individual is so passé; collectivism is where it’s at. In his inauguration proclamation today, President Obama sang the praises of The Collective:
We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.

Now that he’s successfully held on to his throne, he no longer needs to be subtle about his desire to turn citizens into his own personal army of obedient Borg. Drooling libs fawned:

Prez effectively took freedom back from Right as a tool for justice, progress and collective purpose.

This is quite a progressive speech and I absolutely love it. Beautiful argument for collective action.

Doris Kearns Goodwin: Obama talked about "the few and the many," not just campaign rhetoric. "Collective action" is government. #Inaug2013

And government loves us, right? While lefty drones were falling to their knees in blind worship of Dear Leader, conservatives were voicing their utter disgust at Obama’s corruption of what it means to be an American:

"Collective action" should never be used as a front for the dissolution of individual freedom. #inauguration

Individualism requires "collective action"?

Indeed he is. But we are not.
In the face of #tyranny, our #liberty will always win. The collective free spirit is stronger than any imagined #authority. #libertarian

Resistance is not futile, Mr. President. We will not be assimilated.
