Resisting Obama

The PHILOSOPHY upon which resistance to Obama's policies is a legitimate, respectable point of view, with deep roots in American tradition and culture, and nothing to do hatred. It emphasizes individual freedom at its core. It asserts that the foundation for maintaining individual freedom is individual responsibility and consequences from individual action. It understands that any collective action is an abridgment of individual freedom, but it accommodates limited collective action as practical for the operation of society. It nonetheless reflexively resists collectivism in general. It does not regard the various calamities of life heartlessly, but it instead believes the best way to minimize these calamities (hunger, poverty, sickness, etc) is to adhere to a framework that revolves around freedom and responsibility, and that creates the incentives for human beings to both define and optimize quality of life.
