SA@TheDC - Does Newt Gingrich Want the Constitution to 'Die?'

[SouthParkBear]

Jefferson didn't create the Constitution, he was in France.

Jefferson, along with the Founders, created popular sovereignty of the individual states. .

[ChivKnight]

Newt Gingrich is a scary, scary man. Hopefully he never gets into office.

[jamiebutcher91]

Funny seeing so many people argue without maturity or discussing issues and proposing ideas, usually those that argue in this way, are trying solely to convince themselves, if you feel like you beat them, you feel like they've clarified your beleif, which makes you comfortable.

Ron paul is the only candidate. I urge all who oppose him to research the very facts behind what they're attacking. Think about it, if you dont fully understand what you're talking about, then where's your opinion from?

[cathrasher1974]

jack you are a fucking idiot'' and I wish you and all your paulbot drones would die..

[TexasStraightShooter]

Newt Gingrich is a Globalist employed by the New World Order (International Banks and International Corporations) our Federal Constitution has to be killed in order for their evil plan of Global Conquest to go forward.

[TheCaptinLove]

Jack I appreciate your work, but in this video you suggest that Thomas Jefferson was key in putting together the US Constitution. Jefferson was serving as the US ambassador to France at the time and had nothing to do with putting together the Constitution and in fact spoke out against it because he felt it gave to much power to the Federal Government.

[Pinion512]

RonBot propaganda is all this video is. Not a Newt fan here, but damnit, keep it real or STFU, Jack.

[peterb37]

Politicians on the whole don't give a shit about the Constitution. Other than Ron Paul that is. Funny that the MSM label him as radical for supporting the Constitution. That says a lot about where we are as a country. I would say that we are about where Nazi Germany was in the 1930's after Hitler co opted the Government.

[rusty2nd3000]

Wow, I like how some of you idiots try to twist history, to and make it look bad .

[ThisMachineKillsReds]

George Washington was a tyrant and the Constitution is a scam. It's the myth that put these good-for-nothing bankster tools into office in the first place.

Limited government is libertarianism for people who don't understand libertarianism.

[ItssBrian]

@ThisMachineKillsReds George Washington was offered the position of KING of the US, but turned it down for a less powerful position.

[ThisMachineKillsReds]

@ItssBrian Who gives a shit, all government is tyrannical. You can take your little cabal of East Coast banksters and elites, the Founding Fuckers, and shove it up a pig's ass. I'd rather honor the memory of crack-addled whores, who at least never enslaved a nation.

[ItssBrian]

@ThisMachineKillsReds So if he was tyrannical, why didn't he accept the position of King?

[ThisMachineKillsReds]

@ItssBrian What kind of crack have you been smoking? The American President was MORE POWERFUL than the British monarchy. And Republicanism is far worse than monarchy.

Look, I really don't give a shit about the fantasy-based opinions of statist retards. Anyone who thinks they have a 'right' to take my money can go blow their brains out as far as I'm concerned. I don't give a shit if they call themselves a 'President' or 'Emperor of Mankind'.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@ThisMachineKillsReds Libertarianism is but Anarchism with a smidgen of government control added.

Without a Constitution, there is NO limit on government control.

[sleedolfine15]

@ThisMachineKillsReds Washington was not a tyrant. It's true that Washington generally sided with the stronger federal government of Hamilton over Jefferson's more limited federal authority. But,Washington did help liberate us from the British and he also stopped a military coup which would have put him on the throne. As for the Constitution,the Founders underestimated the determination of the Statists to twist the Constitution all out of shape to achieve greater power.

[winchesteranacom]

Goldwater also opposed the civil rights act on the grounds of the constitution, but that's not relevant to people like Jack.. How many women, blacks, or native american were apart of the constitution? EXACTLY, which is why people like Jack are soooo quick to quote it. From the revolutionary war, to the civil rights movement reich wingers like Jack are always on the wrong side of history. Why else would they be so quick to recite a document that stated that a black man was only 3/5 of a person.

[AnglosphereAlIiance]

@winchesteranacom

We should have just shipped them back to Africa. It was a terrible mistake to bring them here as slaves I agree.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@winchesteranacom You neglect to mention that the Constitution is a "Living Document". Your argument falls short when one reads the 13th and 19th Amendments.

Efforts by elitists to bypass the Amendment process to tinker with society are but attempts to usurp authority from the majority.

If you find the perfect politician, please let us know. Barry's position on the Civil Rights Act (not civil rights in general) has naught to do with what Jack is saying.

[winchesteranacom]

@MrStrictlyStock Ithe constitution is a living document and corporations are people, just like the easter bunny and santa are real. it's one thing to be imperfect, it's another to be a white supremacist.. Ghandi was imperfect , Hitler was a white supremacist. Write all the amendment you like , but the 19th and 13th amendment did nothing to stop jim crowe , dred scott or mass incarceration. Save for your klan rallies , or tea parties o0r what ever you call them these days

[MrStrictlyStock]

@winchesteranacom What an utterly entertaining collection of historical inaccuracies, misunderstandings, baseless name calling and utter BULLSHIT!

The Dred Scott Decision came BEFORE slavery was abolished by Amendment. Jim Crow laws existed not because of the lack of Constitutional prohibitions, but the lack of ENFORCEMENT of them.

Your frustration at not having the support to amend the Constitution does not detract from the fact that others have.

Did you think Martians compose corps?

[winchesteranacom]

@MrStrictlyStock No one said any thing about martians. Corporations are institutions, (an institution that was devised by roman slave owners) and the people who run them are accountable for their actions. The dredd scott and jim crow laws were enforced just fine but the 14th amendment only lead to corporate personhood oin 1897. The rights granted to the oppressed were spurious at best. End slavery we get the convict lease system,. End jim crow we get mass incarceration a.k.a. the war on drugs.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@winchesteranacom The property rights of a stockholder are just as valid as those of a car owner. The law recognizes both, and justly so.

The law recognizes the responsibilities of corporate officers just as much as dope peddlers.

Convicts need to earn their keep, and hard, productive labor is a very good way to achieve that. Leasing them serves the people well.

You need to take a high school history class. Another in English Composition would be a good idea also.

[winchesteranacom]

@MrStrictlyStock My typing skills are moot, facts are facts can't face the message so you attack the messanger,. Does a car get personhood? I'll believe I.B.M. is a person when I can stab it to death. These "convicts" were only guilty of being black. Why is it when the russian did it it was called a gulag , but when america does it, it's just making them earn their keep? FYI, H.C. Simon, Adam Smith they were conservatives, you're a fascist

[winchesteranacom]

@MrStrictlyStock The dredd scott and jim crowe laws were enforced just fine, but the laws that ensured rights of minorieties were always denigrated and distorted. . No one said any thing about martians, people are people corporations are institutions, and do not deserve the legal status of people.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@winchesteranacom Sonny Boy, let's try this again. Pay a little more attention.

Dred Scott was a fugitive slave who the Supremes said needed to be returned. And you think that just fine? The Constitutional Amendment outlawing slavery ended that Ruling.

"The Laws" you conveniently don't mention were not part of the Constitution.

Corporations are formed by and run by people. Thousands get to vote yearly for the officers. Sounds about the same as government to me.

[Joseph565112]

We do need a new model, and we should amend the Constitution to achieve it.

1. Thorough campaign finance reform (Limit expenditures; eliminate PACs and other indirect sources; allow only American corporations to influence our politics - American corporations are those with no less than 75% of their workers tied up in Americans).

2. Use laws, regulations, and tax incentives to harness big-business interests - bend them to the will of the state to achieve national objectives.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@Joseph565112 What you propose is more akin to a Constitutional Convention than an Amendment or two.

"...harness business interests...", "...the will of the state...", "...achieve national objectives..." sound like excepts from Mussolini's playbook. He described his invention, Fascism, as the wedding of the State and Corporations.

I notice you don't mention limiting the control Labor Unions exert, primarily through monetary contributions.

[Joseph565112]

@MrStrictlyStock I do not believe in unions unless they are localized units..

Large unions are a large part of our problem...$100,000 wrench turners

Wages and prices both need to be allowed to fall, at least for a time, and we need to stimulate savings in the populace, not mass consumption.

I do not fancy Mussolini's theories - primarily because I'm not a syndicalist

[MrStrictlyStock]

@Joseph565112 Unions have indeed become like unto a foracious mosquito. But at least I can choose to buy or not buy products made in the private sector. Government unions will be our death knell.

Allowing or forcing prices to fall is the same as revaluing the currency - back to step one. Not addressing the root causes of inflation will just repeat the cycle.

A tax code that rewards debt and penalizes savings works against your goal.

You have undertones of favoring central control.

[Joseph565112]

@MrStrictlyStock We abolustely need to stimulate savings rather than consumerism.

Doing this will allow the government to spend money things like public works and R&D on new energy without suffering the same level of inflation.

Currencies will continue to inflate as population rises and markets continue to become more and more specialized - this has been going on since about the year 1450, and it doesnt make a lick of difference if we have a standard (gold or silver) or not

[MrStrictlyStock]

@Joseph565112 The historical pattern of saving in the US was the result of folks not having anyone to bail them out of their troubles, not any gov't incentive or compulsion.

Why would anyone want to lend profligate governments any more money than they've already pissed away?

There is a direct co-relationship betwixt M-1 and inflation. Print more and it's worth less. Population increases should mean more goods are produced. More goods balances with more demand.

[Joseph565112]

@MrStrictlyStock Population increase means more money needs to be printed and resources are strained.

One can go back to the 16th century (about the birth of capitalism) and find this fact playing out....as post-plague Europe recovered its population resources were strained.

Also, with the import of tons of gold and silver from the "New World" prices skyrocketed!

Money is not the only factor; the volume of production in a nation characterizes its currency as well as quantity.

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock The current diatribe over tax codes in America is counter productive. Taxing one income bracket differently than another is fallacious and conspiratorial. Nobody (wealthy or poor) should be rewarded or penalized for the ammount of money they have and/or income levels. The American people are duped into thinking we need more taxes by political whores who are addicted to easy money when in fact to much money in the hands of politicians is the problem as we face in this nation.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 Somebody, somewhere has got to pay. Prior to the Income Tax, our Federal Gov't was essentially supported by drunkards.

The Income Tax allowed Prohibitionists to saddle the wealthy with the costs. But it wasn't all that big a deal (other than philosophically) because we had not much of a standing army (on the advice of G. Washington) nor even a hint of transfer payments.

Though a progressive income tax is unfair to the rich, the real problem is the bloated government.

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock Your right, somebody somewhere does have to pay & taxation is a must to maintain a functional society and yes the progressive income tax is unfair. It should work like tipping a server in a restaurant where the same rate applies to everyone. The government be entitled to more than 10%. If nothing else, if we did away with all the tax codes and deductions we could considerably scale back on of our biggest bureaucracies: the IRS and make things much more simple for the tax payer.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 In most large cities one would find a Carnege endowed Public Library a few generations ago. Old Andrew had made a PILE in the steel industry, and infused with the Noblesse Obligee of the well to do of the time, gave away most of his fortune so the public could obtain books. Almost all hospitals were either Catholic or privately endowed by the wealthy. Such behavior by the well to do ceased with the Income Tax.

Like most of us, the wealthy don't like confiscation. 

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 By making things simpler for the taxpayer, it causes things to get much tougher for the moochers.

For most people making under $23,000/year, and flush with a full complement of rug rats, the present system not only exempts them from income tax, it gives them "back" on average, $3,000.

And this delightful little hustle allows "professional" preparers at the Big Three to suck several hundred dollars from each of these moochers for but a quarter hour's work.

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock Lets not forget the moochers have food stamps and HUD housing etc. to also lighten their load. Further more lets not forget that many of the moochers are getting more than they claim either via illegal activities or legitimate activities. For the crafty moocher living in HUD housing, collecting food stamps and so on all while selling dope or prostituting etc. they can live quite well. Some of those HUD homes/apts. are quite lavishly decorated with high end gadgets & furniture.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 Don't forget health care that only the upper middle class and union members can afford. Nor the WIC vouchers. And the free cell phones. And subsidized heating bills. Not to mention child care so the breed sows can stay home and watch soap operas. Hell, I'm surprised ol' PrezBO hasn't figured out how to give 'em free gas for their "Hooptees".

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock Well the moochers were expecting free gas in 2008 from Obama if elected and ever since he got in some have been like "where's my gas?". I am sure that is something else to blame upon the "evil rich" who just won't fork over the dough to help their fellow citizens. PrezBO must truely loath anyone who carries their own weight in the world... much like the Occupissers do.

[thefakeyeti]

Thomas jefferson did say that the constitution should be rewritten every 19 years or so, so I doubt thomas jefferson would even find the idea of the constitution being replaced to be TOO radical..

HOWEVER, he question becomes WITH WHAT?

[MrStrictlyStock]

@thefakeyeti Wherein did Jefferson posit such an opinion?

Perchance a Constitutional Convention would be in order. But mind you, it would be the license for some states to secede from the Union being dissolved and thereupon declining to join any new Union.

The Constitution was an agreement for Sovereign States to band together. Dissolving said Union doesn't guarantee the former members would all want to re-associate themselves.

[KenMacMillan]

My favorite YouTube pundit!

[longliveiran2011]

Jack, the Neocons are about the throw America into a new War with Iran, why don't you say anything about it? Why are you silent speak about about this and Save America.

[DataSerpent]

Im wondering how much Newt Gingrich weighs?

[MrStrictlyStock]

@DataSerpent Almost as much as his 3 wives combined.

[n0us3rn4m3s4v41l4bl3]

Scary shit, Jack. What a creep Gingrich is. I'm starting to think Ron Paul could win.

[LYinKansas]

Who knows what the future may bring. Newts the kind of guy who wonders why other people never thinks like he does. He doesn't have that vast understanding of insight into other peoples lives, he doesn't seem to ever put himself in their shoes. He forms himself to each situation instead of plowing through on SS Newt. Just a big pleaser who will say what it takes to snatch up a nomination from the electoral college.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@LYinKansas You seem to be describing an egomaniac bent upon meglomania.

My feelings exactly.

[MsWanderer1]

Replacing our constitution is the agenda of BOTH parties!

[337noname]

To win elections Republicans made a deal the devil (the good ol'boy religious conservative). Now that the southern strategy has changed the GOP into an extreme mostly white Christian party of faith based dogma, it's time to jump ship and move on. No doubt Goldwater would have drop out of the GOP after the first term of GW.

[llg4ever]

Are you sure Newt is not an invented blob of nonsense? He sure likes to invent ideas to kill every last shred of constitution we still have

[nicodemous52]

Well said Mr. Hunter, well said...

[MrAntineocon]

I think Newt is scum, but I do agree that technology will eventually change human civilization. Forever is a long time, will the US constitution be relevant a million years from now? A billion years from now? It’s the best system we currently have, but I doubt it will be the end of human history

[tgigunner]

Nice!

[thekooj]

Newt is a damn progressive come on, its not hard to see this.

[Robocain1]

A better question is "do the people want the constitution to die?" The people elect and support people like Gingrich - even the fake tea party is supporting this hack. The people get the government they deserve.

[RationalDischarge]

Totally agree that Newt is social climber with no principles, and that Ron Paul is the best guy running, but I would like to make one correction. Jefferson was an anti-federalist, and as such, was opposed to the idea of a national Constitution. That's why Hamilton and his scheming federalists waited until TJ was out of the country, serving as an ambassador to France, before they railroaded it through the Congress. The Constitution, though preferable to what we have now, is still very flawed.

[xdream2]

Excellent! Keep fighting Jack!!!

[viletree]

Sorry man, you know jack shit about futurism. You hardly address the topic and instead dredge up Gingrich's past misdeed.

[BadgeringTheWitness1]

Thanks for highlighting the idea that Newt has no principles. I have thought this for quite some time. When he's up there spouting off his ideas, I can't connect a causal chain of underlying principles. With Ron Paul, you know what you're getting: "freedom is the highest political value." Granted the others have a less coherent view of politics, but you know at least that they value "national defense" and think that it is the key to governance. With Newt, you get absolutely none of that.

[cronoslogic]

Say hello to the "Newt World Order"

[jbrider555]

The globalist agenda, of which Gingrich is a puppet for, is neither liberal nor conservative. 

[zacthebold]

Why is amnesty for illegal aliens and funding for planned parenthood unconstitutional?

[hornshwangler]

@zacthebold read Article 1, section 8 of our Constitution and you will not find this enumerated power for our federal government.

[Panpiper]

@zacthebold Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution lists the powers the Federal government is allowed. The 10th Amendment states that all other powers are reserved for the States or the people. The modern government (since a Supreme Court decision in 1936) however has interpreted three words in the Constitution as essentially overturning the whole of Article 1, section 8 and the 10th Amendment.

[zacthebold]

@Panpiper I see. But it seems a bit biased to pick on planned parenthood when so many other organizations get subsidized.

[Panpiper]

@zacthebold Yes, it is a bit misleading to pick out just a few programs as being illegal when in fact most of the what the Federal government does is unconstitutional.

[MatthewCVR]

If Gingrich drops out then Paul can move in.

[mrdarcyme]

Newt follows his own intellect. Good for him.

[mrhulot101]

Gingrich wants to shame us for not doing the humane thing of giving amnesty to illegals here for 25 years, while hoping few realize illegals here for 25 years are here because Newt failed to do the humane thing 25 years ago and enforce our laws. Pundits are amazed at the fountain of ideas that come out of Newts head, while none acknowledge that Newt has ignored every good idea on reducing immigration for 30 years and the only immigration idea to come out of his head is always another amnesty.

[MatthewCVR]

@mrhulot101 John McCain was the same way. Oh I'm sure he still is.

[421petey]

spot on, and for those who say they mind replacing the Constitution, STFU.

[ThisIsRogueLiberty]

Gingrich is a Sith Lord...

[GMoneyStillTippin420]

@ThisIsRogueLiberty That explains the moon mines...

[Joe11Blue]

@GMoneyStillTippin420 The moon mines are actually a good idea, but he didn't come up with it. It was an idea formulated by NASA during the early 90's to mine Helium-3, which doesn't exist on Earth outside of the lab, which is the best fuel usable in cold fusion. The reasoning behind establishing mines on the moon is sound, but not at the cost of destroying the entire economy to do it though. If it's to be done, it should be a private firm that does it.

[GMoneyStillTippin420]

@Joe11Blue Makes sense considering Gingrich is 80% helium, his mother was a derrigable and his father was the Hindenburgh XD.

[Joe11Blue]

@GMoneyStillTippin420 Not helium, just hot air. helium is actually worth something, hot-air is only good for inflating ego's and balloons.

[sleedolfine15]

I don't mind replacing the constitution with a slightly stronger version of the old Articles of Confederation. Otherwise,let's keep the constitution...after a few choice amendments.

[uche007us]

This is what the media should be doing right now. These frauds needs to be exposed for who they really are.

[Panpiper]

@uche007us I don't suppose you might include the 'media' for frauds as well, fraudulently passing themselves off as having any journalistic integrity whatsoever.

[twizelby]

@uche007us omg how is it that everyone including myself agrees with you but we have no movement to address it? whats the US citizenry to do?!?!?!

[freesk8]

@twizelby The freedom movement has many organizations. Pick one or more!

Ron Paul, RLC, FreedomWorks, Cato Inst., Libertarian Party, Reason Magazine, Inst. for Justice, IHS, Advocates for Self Govt., Students for Liberty...

Please join us, and do whatever you would like to do for Liberty.

[twizelby]

@freesk8 I just dont see how that would effect media that is primarily based on ratings. people watch to be shocked and outraged not to be informed.

[freesk8]

@twizelby We have to work around the media for now. Soon, if we work hard to promote our ideas, the media will be forced to come to us. YouTube and blogs are among the alternative media we must use. But please get involved in some organization of the freedom movement. We need your help! :)

[MrStrictlyStock]

@uche007us You assume or imply that the Lamestream Media has a clue as to what the Constitution actually contains. That is a grave error.

It falls upon "we the people" to educate the masses indoctrinated in government schools for the past half century.

[Kirbynessness]

"Funding Planned Parenthood" Wait, what? So providing funding for sexual education of underprivileged families to prevent unwanted pregnancies is somehow bad? I understand Jack wants as little government money going anywhere as possible but surely there are limits?

[animefan2k9]

@Kirbynessness Planned Parenthood supports the murder of babies and they cover up the death of women who had abortion and died in the abortion mill.

[swiftfoxmark2]

@Kirbynessness Where in the Constitution does it say the Fed. gov't has to give money to that racist organization?

[Kirbynessness]

@swiftfoxmark2 I didn't ay it has to, what I was wondering is why Jack chose specifically that organization. And so far all I've gotten as responses (aside from yours) is fanaticism and conspiracy.

[swiftfoxmark2]

@Kirbynessness The fact the Planned Parenthood is such a politically polarizing organization should be enough to warrant ending their Federal tax subsidies. More to the point, the 10th amendment demands an end to all subsidies to non-profit organizations.

[Kirbynessness]

@swiftfoxmark2 Does that include churches?

[swiftfoxmark2]

@Kirbynessness Yes, although I don't know of any that are currently receiving Federal funding.

[TheBullionBull]

@Kirbynessness PP was founded by Margaret Sanger, a rabid racist and eugenicist who Hitler got some of his ideas from. Why do you think all their abortion clinics are in minority neighborhoods?
