@TheDecendants The war must be conducted in our watercooler arguments, in letters to the editor, we have to challenge not only our closely held beliefs but also those of our ideological opponents. We have to be individual agents of change.
Is this woman high??? She only says Bush or republicans are fascist. Does she realize how many democrats voted for the wars AND voted for HR 1540 ? Obama passed this unconstitutional law that allows HIM to use the military to arrest US citizens and detain them without EVER giving them a chance to defend yourself in court. WAKE UP PEOPLE !!! YOUR GOVERNMENT IS DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION, both dumbacrats and republicant's are socialist/ communist. We must take our country back ONE VOTE @ A TIME
@007sephiroth1 Yes, she is high. You can tell by the way she speaks in an organized way and articulates so clearly. You are ignorant because you can not understand what she is saying.
They can torture us now baby, america is almost dead. NDAA 2012, anyone of us can be accused and they are going to teach how to spot a terrorist in the schools. :) sound familiar?
Nazi youth group, russia. But hey, have a merry christmas. Go back to sleep america, accept it, there is nothing you can do. Take the blue pill, relax, your government loves you.
The Senate as we speak, has just passed the S-1867 bill. If Obama makes this bill law, the US military will have the right to indefinitely hold any US citizen in dedention without due process. Even if they just have small suspicion that you may be a terrorist or go against the gov't, you're a goner. The bill has crazy things like, if you're missing a finger, or have more than 7 days worth of food, etc., you will be labelled a terrorist. This is Nazisim dictatorship!!!!
Republicans menacing voters? Republicans in polo shirts? Republicans will steal elections fair and square. Its democrats and unions who stand outside voting booths. What about the Black Panthers? She says so much right and ruins it with her left bias.
Crappy definition of fascism. Communists do exactly what she described, too.
Many good point, but heavily framed from the standpoint of a leftist.
"Enemy combatant" is now elevated to "targeted for death. Hope she criticizes that. She says they can't torture us yet. She's out of date. Now you can be killed by presidential decree.
Why do we have a second amendment? To protect us from a dictatorial over-reaching and oppressive government from killing us all.
@BruceMOable Congress was intended to be deadlocked to prevent the government from actually doing something. Because when government acts it only makes things worse! Our founding father were brilliant!
We do indeed have a one-party system...but its only constituency is the rich and its only ideology is greed. We can dither over "democracy" or "republic" until we're all jailed...or we can--exquisitely non-violently--overthrow this economic monarchy and save our nation from the domestic Great Money Monarchy that threatens it so.
You can blame republicans all you want, but Obama has changed nothing. Everyone needs to realize it is a ONE PARTY SYSTEM designed to make you think you have a choice. Mitt Romney is going to be the exact same as Barry Obama. Ron Paul is the only hope of the Republic! Do your own research!
@rednick155 Systemaically, all of the runners, the ones' the people really want and like, without fail ever win. I know--been complaining about it for almost 40 years now.
shes not a fucking hypocrite shes just stating her opinion and everyone elses opinion that shes observed and read about. open your eyes! LISTEN TO HER. dont listen to it with closed ears and eyes to only what you think is right.
REPUBLIC!! Hello? Does anyone have a brain left? United States of America, the De Jure Government, is NOT a democracy, it is a republic, Was a republic. Now replaced by a corporate slave machine owned by the banksters. Follow the Money, follow the real crimes against humanity, follow the statutory (fake) laws. It is plain that our freedom and our resources and our lives have been hijacked by these evil few for their own benefit and pleasure.
You have to get over the ACTUAL definition of democracy and accept the new liberal speak definition of democracy. Yes they are wrong, but in this I think they mean well.
@mithrandircomics They mean well? I guess you weren't listening closely enough to her. A liberal in my opinion is a partisan term. If you choose a pre existing political persuassion then you don't speak on your own terms. The 2 party political system is, has been and always will be flawed as long as it exists. Neither side will ever represent you as an individual.
torture has been going on in our country for years...torture of the homeless...torture of the mentally ill...torture of illegal immigrants, torture of the elderly
organized crime has gotten away with torturing these groups in this country for years and years and years
@polljc no your wrong u r in a DICTATORSHIP! ya think not? u dont have much of a constitution left you have concentration camps, you invade other peoples countries at a drop of a hat you do not abide by laws of the common world, in fact your country stinks!
@TheMercilessEye While we do not follow the founding principles, CLEARLY, the founding principles are that of a Republic. We can agree that Oligarch are pulling the strings. You don't have to be so confrontational in your speech. Consider keeping your emotions more in check and you may find greater success in influencing people to see some important truths. Best to you. :)
@polljc Acknowledged. Apologies for the confrontational tone. I agree, the original template was based on the principles of a republic - but we are so far removed from that, at present, that I have difficulty believing we will ever see our way back. Best regards.
@TheMercilessEye Thanks. :) I just feel education, not political rhetoric is the solution. If everyone understood-- If we had the founding principles of the constitution taught to our society in school and elsewhere, we would not have such a hard time convincing people of the ills. They would see it themselves and we'd vote the rascals out. ;) Have a good one!
@polljc democracy meant something else back then when the founders used thet term than it means today when people say it. republic is one of the variants of democracy. the federal republic of germany is a parliamentary democracy. with elected representatives, a constitution, rule of law etc. its not mob rule or anything.
@StrangeIsMyWorld I have never heard anyone, ever make the argument that only a democracy has voting rights. Representative Demacratic Republic is a modern terms. No doubt, there are those that have reinvented words to twist the original meaning of the founders words and intentions. Finally, a citizens right vote is just as critical to a Republic as it is a Democracy. Maybe you meant to say something else.
@polljc In Federalist Paper No. 10 James (Architect of the Constitution) Madison defined the word "Republic" as a State that practices "Indirect Democracy" aka "Representative Democracy". Whilst equating the word "Democracy" with a State that practices "Direct Democracy" How about you read what the Founders said and wrote, and then address who is twisting the Founders words?
@StrangeIsMyWorld I have never heard anyone, ever make the argument that only a democracy has voting rights. Representative Demacratic Republic is a modern term.

Finally, a citizens right vote is just as critical to a Republic as it is a Democracy. Maybe you meant to say something else.
as a political scientist I can no longer ignore this form of ignorance. There are different forms of democracies. A Republic is one of them. So essentially you said "America is a democracy, not a democracy." Doesn't make any sense. We are a constitutional republic. This means everyone has rights as well as being able to choose leadership that will represent us. A Republic is great in this sense as it allows decision making to happen a lot faster than a direct democracy.
@lordblazer as a political scientist you could probably tell representative democracy isn't working so great when there's a 16% approval of US Congress...
depends the US has a presidential system whereas other representative democracies use a parliamentary system. Both have their distinct advantages and disadvantages. What is happening in the US pretty much has happened in other countries before. Not an indication that the format doesn't work, an indication that our democracy has gotten corrupt, and disconnected from the average citizen. The citizens in this case are to blame. This is the advantage to democracy over autocracy.
now with that being said, we have a constitution it does mean we have rights, but it means more than that. It means as a society we respect laws. We recognize that we must abide by them and hold each other accountable, and we realize that laws are made to protect us all. Yes there are autocratic countries with such documents too, there are democracies that didn't have such documents. Overall we are in fact a democracy. Please do not get it twisted.
@lordblazer sorry, we are a republic, the word democracy is never mentioned in any constitution, bill of rights. The founding fathers hated democracy, it is mob rule, majoriy votes rule. Just because you vote on an issue does not make that issue right. We have been led to believe that we are democratic society but we were founded as a republic, my friend.
@lordblazer i am not talking about naomi wolfe, i am talking about the one person who dislikes this video:). Or you dont believe NDAA 2012 is real, or there going to teach school kids how to look for terrorists? I will find the link for you.
@polljc Your right! A Republic is representative government ruled by law (the Constitution). A democracy is direct government ruled by the majority (mob rule). A Republic recognizes the inalienable rights of individuals while democracies are only concerned with group wants or needs (the public good).We have been acting like a dictatorship, and now we are.
@backtonormalful Thats not it at all, the problem with a democracy is that two wolves can decide that sheep is for lunch and the sheep being out numbed has no choice. a Republic society is ruled by law which applies to everyone no matter your position. We happen to have both as a check and balance system. So i guess if you want a law passed and you get the number of votes for your position your own laws can be used against you
@polljc We have not been a republic in over a century. We have deteriorated into an oligarchy. There is no longer a way to stop the liberal and progressive shift to socialism and to tyranny wthout a revolution of some sort...
Civics was effectively removed from the school curriculum, in the 1950's. My parents generation, mine and my kids have all essentially had little training in the US Constitution. That's 3 generations now.
