If I were to say that I greatly admired Adolf Hitler and wished to organise the community around his philosophy I think it likely that most would be of the opinion that this is not a good thing. Reason being that Nazi ideology is not generally considered a good thing. Some folks might think it was racist, some might think it was potentially genocidal, that it could turn ugly, that it might not be good for America.

Now, difficult though it might be for the left to digest, there are actually people who think that Alinsky was bad for America. And so the point is that the fact that Clinton was apparently a fan, and Obama claims inspiration from the philosophy that he championed is not a good thing.

I guess then that the point might be that the currently governing elites of the country are individuals of unfit background for the role with social views diametrically opposed to traditional middle class ones and that this is unfortunate for America.

But not to worry, I'm sure it doesn't impact you.

also understand that you have a problem with the existence of "left wing thinkers"; or is it "thinkers," in general?

No. Just the usual left wing apologists for socialist doctrine that infest the academic establishment in the west.

Would you prefer to live in a country without any differing opinions.

That is a red herring. Opinions will always differ. But some are actually hostile to the US, and I see no reason to white wash them, respect them, or allow them to proceed unchallenged.
