Neo-Cons, Neo-Libs, Everywhere!!!

[MrMDESTINY]

That comment is like saying Ron is a racist. It was meant to discredit his authority. International policies have tuned Israel into a slum. You can be against funding Israel and be categorized as anti Semite. This is typical of people who think horizontally.

[Yerzriknot]

IMO we should require pilots and co-pilots to train with handguns and issue them on flights.

[trickynicky30]

good points all around H.U. I think it's funny when zionists toss around the word anti-semite. I don't think they ever bothered to learn what semites are. Akkadians, Phoenicians, Canaanites (Palestininans), Hebrews and Arabs all fit under that umbrella.

[FatLibertarian]

It's glad to see that I'm not alone. It's incredibly frustrating to be libertarian right now. Yet there's probably been no better time to be libertarian,perhaps with the exception of our founding. The Dems and Repubs are making the Ron Paul movement grow so I guess we should thank them.

[Quag7]

The question is whether or not a lot of those people claiming to be part of the Ron Paul crowd will stick around when some mainstream (non libertarian) Republican has a chance at the presidency.

There are people easily distracted by waving flags and bibles out there, who lose all common sense and reason when people tell them what they want to hear. Or just wear a conspicuous American flag pin on their lapel.

@Quag7

It is very problematic indeed, but I think incidents like the one that occurred between Ron Paul and Ben Stein, though infuriating to people like me, serve to draw these people out and forces them to deal with some of the contradictions in their ways of thinking.

Granted, many of them may just call you a Jew-hater or some other random insult and go about clinging to their lies, but if a few Republicans get the message, that is a victory, albeit a small one.

Larry King? lol

[christopher81818]

Neo-Cons will stab you in the front and use your guts for a mantle. Neo-Libs are too scared to even stab you in the back. That's what AIPAC's there for. They scream the "Anti-Semite!!!" battle-cry and you got a million hardened soldiers (i.e. lawyers in cheap suits) manning the barricades.

[hellsunicorn]

Yes indeed, the reason why we can't clean all of the AIPAC, ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center scum out of our court system is because they don't build enemas big enough for that amount of raw sewage.

[DrDissent]

LMAO that's the funniest thing Ive seen posted in months. And its hilarious because its absolutely TRUE.

[Quag7]

The worst thing about using "anti-semite" that way is it cheapens and dilutes the word. It will, at some point, become meaningless. Using "anti-semite" this way is a rhetorical fraud intended to shut down rational thought: it is a way of telling the audience what to think while arbitrarily tying an opposing viewpoint to a reprehensible - but irrelevant - kind of prejudice.

It is one of those things which falls under the purview of Jefferson's "...tyranny over the mind of man."

[hellsunicorn]

@Quag7

In many ways, I've caught myself laughing at the "anti-Semite" insult when it is thrown because of how much it has been cheapened. Later on, I feel bad about it because some seriously horrid stuff has happened that gives a term like that its meaning, but the end result of all this will probably be to the detriment of Israel, which is precisely what people like James Trafficant (who are very much pro-Israel) are trying to prevent.

[bwebb1981]

Let these neo-liberals and neo-cons continue to play the race and anti-semite cards until they wear out. If done enough, hopefully sooner or later these accusations will ring hollow in people's ears. Oh, and Ben Stein? Those clear eyes commercials are kinda amusing. Thats about the only good thing I can say about him.

[hellsunicorn]

I wasn't really big on his ties with the Nixon administration, and he still shows a lot of tendencies towards that Keynesian way of thinking, so his economics views have a strong socialist tilt to them, which he compensates for with a more hawkish view of foreign policy.

He is a bit better on free speech issues in some areas, particularly in scientific discourse, and his views on gun owners rights tends to be solid. But aside from that, he is on the wrong side of most issues.

[robertmcmc]

The unpatriotic act is based on the 9/11 lie.

Babylon is a house of cards that will crash down as fast as they imploded WTC.

I'm an absolute staunch supporter of Israel because my God is.

Bush did lie, and the rest that knew kept their mouth shut.

This "kingdom" that they're building will burn.

I like Ben Stein, though i didnt see the program, i think hes got a humorous personality.

I'm not neo this or that. Let all men be liars -

But let God be true. Thank you, hellsunicorn, for asking.

[hellsunicorn]

I don't necessarily have a problem with people supporting Israel, although I should add that there are Christian brethren to be found in Palestine who are having a REALLY hard time because of the way things are being done right now. I tend a bit more towards Pat Buchanan on this issue that I do toward Ben Stein. I still like the guy, don't get me wrong, but the comment he threw out was an absolute cheap-shot and had nothing to do with the discussion at all.

[hellsunicorn]

I think the issues surrounding Israel are complex, far more so than what people like Alan Derschowitz and Noam Chomsky make them out to be, but I see good people on both sides of the borders that separate Israel and Palestine.

I should further emphasize that when I say Christian brethren, I was speaking for myself since as an Independent Catholic I am still basically in communion with the churches of the Eastern Rite, though not with Rome.

[Quag7]

Doesn't one syllogistically imply the other? If the Eastern Rite is liturgically separate, but ultimately in full communion with Rome as one of its defining features, and you are in communion personally with the Eastern Rite, does that not make you also by extension somehow connected to Rome?

Or do you just basically mean you don't like Rome and have tried to get as far away from it as you can without actually being non-Catholic, attached as you are to the Eastern Rite, in the Western world?

[hellsunicorn]

@Quag7

I should probably expound on this further in a video because I view it as a fairly complex issue, but essentially my objections to Rome are based on certain theological viewpoints (I am 100% opposed to Pelagian theology, which is part of why I hate the Jesuit Order so much) and also them contradicting 500 years of Papal decrees at the 1st Vatican Council.

Being schismatic means breaking with the institutional church, but not necessarily denying a general communion with others.

[Quag7]

You should definitely do videos on your Catholicism. But be sure if you do, you define your terms well, since the kind of details you seem concerned with will be complete mysteries to outsiders, and I think things like Pelagianism, and probably other things you're concerned with, are of general philosophical interest beyond inter/intra-Catholic disputes.

[hellsunicorn]

@Quag7

As best I can break it down, I believe that the "Institutional" Roman Catholic Church has fallen into apostasy, as have pretty much all other major established churches. As a result, there is a dual institutional church and a distinct communal church tied by a general view of the Gospels, or an "invisible church". As such, I claim a general communion with some members of many churches, while disassociating with established church hierarchies.

[hellsunicorn]

@Quag7

The reason I still refer to myself as being Catholic has to do with my views regarding the sacraments, as well as my views regarding church doctrine. Technically, if I modified my views on the sacraments, I'd qualify as a Calvinist. But essentially, where I'm coming from now theologically is more in tune with pre-Roman dominated Catholicism, primarily that taught by St. Jerome and Augustine.

[Afrikaner1988]

Anti Semite used to be a word to describe those who hate Jews. Now it is used to describe those whom Organized Jewry hates

[DrDissent]

I agree, I was disappointed with Ben. His true colors were exposed.

[hellsunicorn]

I've never understood why people constantly need to bring out that anti-Semitic charge when it has little or nothing at all to do with the conversation. I can understand calling Global Warming drones Hitler Youth types because they actually exhibit the symptomatic mindlessness of a fascist mob, but this insult has no logical bearing on the discussion.

[Quag7]

Anti-semitism is bad. Your opinion on X is anti-semitic. Therefore what you just said is bad.

It's that simple. It is, as I mentioned elsewhere, rhetorical fraud.

[DVincentW]

I always finish watching your videos refreshed and glad to know I am not the only one who acts upon trouble instead of just bringing it to peoples attention.

[hellsunicorn]

Thanks, I usually take the points I make in my videos outside of youtube and the internet in general to real people. I was at several of the tea parties over the past year, and although I was a little disappointed at how many people at these rallies didn't fully understand the monetary policy issues, I found many people who were at least open to discussing ending fiat currency, which is something the MSM never tolerates.
