  • No difference in him and Obama,they want less freedom for us.more power for them! We arnt being repersented by anyone in DC anymore!!!!!!!!!!

  • mccain was thinking "fuck it's rand...gotta run!"

  • Land of the free?Bwahhha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,Fr­ee to do what the zionists tell you to do when they tell you to do it,lol.

  • Wow, man this is incredible. Everybody in government is so dirty now. Posse Com. is pretty much a hallow shell so the military can play cops, the patriot act leaves us with no privacy while the tsa molests us and tells us we can't go anywhere and labels us terrorists, and now this thing says you have the right to remain detained for eternity for no reason at all. We need frredom, we need the constitution back, we must get Ron Paul in office!

  • You Think This is Bad?

  • I think that uh SHWISHHH.. long aSHIWSH .....individual no matter who they are uh SWISH..if they poSWISHe a threat to the SWISHecurity to the U.S..........SWISH WHISTLE SWISH

  • @JNathanK2011 Yes, and that should stand as the law, but radical conservatives like McCain have a tendency to change upholding laws that secure "national security."

  • it's great how he doesn't answer the question but instead immediately becomes defensive. BTW McCain, you don't speak for us...any of us, you old dinosaur (literally). LMAO

  • The International Banking Cartel is a THREAT to the United States government.

    Detain them!

  • John McCain: "27% of detainee's who were released, got back in the fight and were responsible for the deaths of Americans"

    If someone arrested me, detained me, kept me from my family, and tortured me without DUE PROCESS and I was innocent - and then they let me go because I was innocent - I sure as hell might pick up a gun and serve a little payback. WTF

  • there will soon be a time where it will become dangerous to watch videos like this.

    john mccain is a SCARED PUSSY and does not speak for the majority of americans. didn't he get the clue in 2008?

    send him back to vietnam. there was a time where i would've felt bad for saying something like that, but the truth is, america would have been better off if he never returned home.

  • @evi1energy Well seeing as how McCain got 48% of the votes in 2008, that makes me think alot of people agree and like his way of thinking. I may not agree with him on this but you are dead wrong to say that about an american hero like John McCain. McCain has done more for our country then Obama or any other dem has in the past 30 years. He is a man's man, you better pray to god I never see you face to face. As a former Solder for two tours I would rip you apart for saying such trash.

  • @stevienightheat1 48% of america voted against obama. i don't give a fuck what you would do to me, for being such a man's man, and against torture, he doesn't seem to mind sending others off to disappear to black sites. so for that, he is a hypocrite and a traitor.

  • Whether they pose a threat or just a perceived threat, they should have a right to a trial in case they are innocent.

  • Senator McCain, how does it feel to be a colossal asswipe?

  • nice way to hide the fact that this is not saying "after trial hold them indeffinately" this bill is saying "the 6th ammendment is invalid" by not showing rand pauls response

  • John is right though, some people never understand what it takes to defend this great country. John McCain is a war hero and should get respect from all of us. I would like to see any of you go through what he went through and live to tell about it.

  • @stevienightheat1 I think the main argument is that the government could very much abuse this act. Maybe not now or anytime in our life time but it COULD happen. People put way to much faith in our government but at the end of the day we are all human and humans can be purely evil. The Germans had faith in Hitler, Russians in Stalin and the Chinese in Mao. There is no guaranteeing that similar scenarios could not happen here with all of these bills/acts.

  • @stevienightheat1 That was then, this is now. McCain has gone from the victim to the bought-out-politician perpetrator.

  • Your a sellout john mccain. you should be ashamed

  • THOSE WHO GIVE UP LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER!

  • John McCain is reptilian scum. 

  • Wake up america, the political correctness will soon consume both sides of the polarization as currency and economy trump conscience and morality. The correctness of the state (political correctness) is at odds with truth. Constitutional truth and the unmoving absolutes the founders believed in. The intrinsic link between accounting and accountability has been consumed by those that see currency above morality. The fema camps are ready. If Ron Paul loses it will just be a matter of time.

  • This old fuck thinks that only 23% of released terrorists will justify his plan? Now I'm 100% anti-torture, but listening to this old golem ass looking shit face, I think the north Vietnamese were a little too soft on him. He forgot about his stay at Hanoi, and I guess his wounds have healed. America is no less a terrorist then the ME, just because you wear a suit and are in congress and american that justifies playing god and killing people. How does killing killers show killing is wrong? PTFO!

  • omg i voted for john mccain back in 08 thinking he was a canidate for small government. Knowing all i know now and seeing obama being bush's 3rd term, and now mccain writing this bill, it totally proves that these guys are corporate puppets. 

  • @questionmark11 yep, and dont forget that the obama administration asked him to write it...they all need they're nuts crushed

  • "I have Sworn Upon the Alter of G*d eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson

    The Founding Fathers would definitely know what to do with scumbag traitors like John McCain.

  • RON PAUL OR REVOLUTION 2012

  • John McCain=Biggest treat to American freedom

  • YOU WILL NEVER TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT TO TRIAL FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS. THE DAY THAT HAPPENS YOU BETTER GRAB A GAT CAUSE ITS FUCKING ON.

    KILLING YOU TRAITORS WILL BE AS EASY AS BREATHING THAT DAY.

  • @Bunnykiller6969 They call us traitors when we want to keep our constitutional rights. This fucking bill is pointless. What will it improve? wanna stop terrorist threats? Get out of their countries. If you or I question the government or say we think the war is wrong, they'll detain us. I hope NO soldier will follow this fucking bill. If they do, then tell them to give up their Americanism because they just lost it. Tell the white house to give up their flags because they dont deserve it

  • MCCAIN I SEE YOU AS THREAT TO MY COUNTRY & FREEDOM I SEE YOU AS THE TRUE DANGER AND THOSE LIKE YOU.

    WASHINGTON WILL NEVER HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE AWAY A FAIR TRIAL FROM A CITIZEN OF THE USA SO LONG AS I DRAW BREATH

  • Comment removed

  • HOLY SHIT and he almost won the presidential candidate

  • i liked mccain better as a POW

  • If someone is truly a threat then there must be some evidence. It should be easy to present this evidence to some fact finder or finders. There should never be any reason to simply "hold" someone indefinitely. I'm not interested in "holding" people that may or may not have done something. If they are suspected of engaging in some criminal activity let's find out if they are guilty. If they are not then let them go. That is messed up to detain someone indefinitely on a hunch.

  • You're a fucking asshole John McCain!!!! Take that to the bank!!! Wait til the country rises up against the likes of you!!!

  • PLEASE READ

    The NDAA will give the president the right to permanently imprison any American citizen deemed a “terrorist”. It also deems PROTESTING as “low level terrorism”. The government is planning on getting rid of the Occupy protestors.

  • @patrickbohannon Sounds like the red scare.

  • He lied out both sides his mouth just then. Said if any person was a threat to be detained then said that 27% of Guantonimo detainees rejoin the fight after release. Comparing apples and oranges. Puts Americans who question authority in same category as gitmo detainees. Thanks FrankenCain, there is your true color shining thru. In his mind there is no difference.

  • fuck you mccain. theres a reason why you fought in the vietnam war and why i swam my ass to America

  • "NO TRIAL AND NO CAUSE,DETAINED INDEFINITELY,AMERICAN CITIZENS "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE FOLKS YOU SEE THESE BASTARDS NOW WHATS COMING AND THEY ARE GONNA TRY AND USE THE MILITARY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.MCCAIN IS A TURNCOAT AND SENATOR LEVIN IS A ZIONIST JEW AND THEY CREATED THIS MONSTER IN SECRET.WONT WORK THO,OUR MILITARY WILL NOT TURN ON THE PUBLIC,HELL EGYPT SCARED EM TO DEATH WHEN THEIR MILITARY DID THE RIGHT THING AND REFUSED TO TURN ON IT'S CITIZENS.VOTE THEM OUT PEOPLE.

  • McCain, you disgrace your country!

  • RON PAUL IS TOO DAMN OLD TO BE THINKING OF BEING PRESIDENT, CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT HE' LL BE LIKE 5 YRS FROM NOW. GET OUT AND RETIRE.

  • @HAVAJO1 SHIT LOOK AT NEWT THE GRAVEL IN MY DRIVEWAY IS YOUNGER THAN HIM.

  • Vietnam has made John McCain a coward.

  • fuck you John McCain.

  • John McCain is a freak.

  • i cant believe i voted for this asshole, i hope he has a heart attack tonight. mccain go fuck urself u piece of shit.

    RON PAUL 2012

  • So, never mind the child molesters and rapeists? they get more rights that a supposed terrorists?

  • Yeah, I guess John McCreep does want to keep these wars overseas going. McCain's wife Cindy Hensley has the gov't contract to sell liquor to our soldiers in the war zones in the middle East. McCain and family are raking millions in profit. Just gotta wonder how many times a soldier in these war zones had a little to much to drink one evening, then got up the next morning and made a mistake (hangover?) killing himself or some of his buddies. Do you want to be the jackoff who supplied the liquor?

  • John McCain, who I used to like, does not answer the question. Rand Paul did not ask if this was a good idea or a bad idea, or to defend it, he merely asked if it would be POSSIBLE under these provisions that an American Citizen (not a foreigner) could be detained indefinitely without trial. JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION YES OR NO.

  • Our government is going too far. Who do they think they are? This is why we have the 2nd amendment!

  • McCain was a Songbird Trustee while imprisoned which means he's gutless traitor and the Viet Namese would have done us all a big favor by executing him.

    McCain couldn't care less about anyone but himself, his insider investments and his power.

    Anyone sponsoring this legislation with the "detainee" wording intact should be Impeached, removed from office, charged with treason and imprisoned or executed if it applies under the Constitution.

  • @truthdefender54 The more I hear this miss-abortion speak, the more I wish he was held forever in vietnam. just to see what it would be like

  • John mc cain U traitor, Scum !

  • I see. . . so if we send our military men and women out to countries willy nilly. . . it is "keeping them safe", but if you want them to come home and be with their families, without all the psychological and emotional trauma that comes from a severely overworked military, you "want them in danger". So, John. . . are you saying that they're safer with people shooting guns at them in the middle east than they are at home with their families? You're wacked out McCain.

  • Rand Paul is awesome! I hope he has a long and fruitful career. So far so good with that guy!

  • JOHN MCCAIN is a TRAITOR !!! He should be tried in a court of law, and if found guilty, hung by the neck until DEAD.

  • @putittogether Not just him, don't forget the other's that voted along with him to pass this.

  • ruthless to be killer jofn fucking mc cain

  • I don't get it. John McCain was detained in Vietnam but freed, but would impose this on American citizens?

  • @kmelfina he's pissed that he didn't get elected, now he's going to punish all of us.

  • @blueflamestudios ..LOLLLLLL

  • @kmelfina he's a reptilian

  • @kmelfina money he's just a front man payed to be a patsy

  • @kmelfina

    Bliderberg want him to..

  • @kmelfina Yeah, see you have common sense! anyone who agrees with Mccain is a traitor and needs to be dealt with by the people at this point. The reason Mccain wants this is because the top bankers are paying him big money to pass this...

  • @projectpataaa1 If you mean "Jews" by "top bankers" then yes you are right

  • @kmelfina John McCain is an evil tyrant scumbag... thats why

  • If John McCain's end goal is about the safety of our men and women in the military then why would he object to pulling the troops back home? Sounds rather disingenuous to me...

  • As much as I dislike Obama,I am so glad that we did not elect McCain. We really dodged a bullet.

  • Why can't he just retire already?

  • police state really is becoming a reality. How will things look in 24 months?

  • @Kimjongil3000 likely a lot worse then it looks today, unfortunately.

  • He didn't answer.

  • Poor old John McCain got beat to shit by his dad when he was little, and it made him insane.

  • DIE ALREADY JOHN MCCAIN YOU OLD FUCK

  • Can't we just fire this guy now (McLame), please there's got to be a way!

  • Talk to some of the men McCain served under. They allege he was not a hero- but a collaborator.Guys a little like Gen. Curtis Lemay- elevator's not connected to the penthouse.

  • Our constitutional provisions already account for citizen-terrorists, and demand trials and standards of evidence. McCain, et al., are a disgrace to this nation and a threat to freedom.

    Shame is too mild -- I say, infamy on them!

  • John McCain IS a threat to this country. Put that fucking asshole away.

  • SCREW JOHN MCCAIN! An he can take his tyranny and cram it up his ass

  • pose a threat to America. sounds like the majoritty of congress

  • End the gov

  • Why weren't Americans allowed to vote on this?? How come we don't have a say on this? Can we say Marshall Law? Isn't that why 9/11 occurred?

  • please recall that a number of "americans" of somailian descent went to the ME to join the jihad.........................­..... definitely put their asses in gitmo

  • 27%. Thats it! ONLY 27%! That means 70% don't end up in terrorist camps after release. How many of that 70% were innocent? How many still in detention are innocent? Mccain yaps about his detention in vietnam & its awfulness, yet thinks innocent Americans should be subject to indefinite detention.

  • John McCain is a traitor to our constitutional republic!

  • The Vietnamese should have just shot his stupid ass!

    

  • You are very dangerous Mr. McCain. You are more dangerous than 27% of those terrorists you cited.

  • I think that is what America thinks ? McCain is a nazi freak that wants power.He is a war criminal to say the least. If we dont move now I fear we will be attacked . Come on America WAKE UP !

  • nazi puppet

  • McCain has the usual tells when it comes to lying. Note his eye movements prior to answering.

  • This de-facto unconstitutional treaty set up the foundation of the New World Order.

    Repeal it NOW

  • Proof that John Cain is supporting a FOREIGN POWER to the United States of America and that he is a shill for the Supra-National Fascist Globalist government.

    See Article 7 of the supra-sovereign illegal Bretton Woods Treaty Agreements of 1944, ratified in 1945 by same nations that came together in 1945 to create the United Nation.

    Talk about a selling out of the nation. Please write Dr. Rand Paul and ask him to put a bill in to REPEAL BRETTON WOODS TREATY AGREEMENTS.

  • Shitheads like McCain don't realize that we live in a Republic, not a Democracy.

    It doesn't matter if most of the population is in favor of something stupid; it's AGAINST THE LAW.

    Get it, shitheads?

  • Fuck you John McCain. You and likeminded puppets in Washington are the real threat to liberty.

  • McCain is so wrong about the majority of public opinion. Rand Paul is the man.

  • We are not a democracy, so if all Americans want to vote to murder Christ, will he go along with the public's wishes?

  • hey McCain, how about if they pose a threat to a traitor to the United States of America..? one defination of Treason is to Breech The Trust of the American People.. another, is To Kill or Harm an American Sovereign.. NAFTA, Chinese Trade Agreement, the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act is harming us.. Globalization is harming the American People and is Treason..

    "..shall be drawn to the gallows, not walking or carried.."

  • John McCain is nothing but a zionist piece of nazi shit.

  • I don't know about anyone else, but this scares the shit out of me!!!

  • Comment removed

  • What this will turn into, basically, is if you go against the establishment, you will be labeled a terrorist and taken down to Gitmo. Wake up people. We Americans are losing our rights incrementally. Nobody sitting in a cave halfway around the world is taking our rights away.....our politicians are doing a good job of that right there in Washington.

  • @Werowocomico they dont and wont have room at gitmo for all the millions of us who have woken up...thats what the fema camps are for. those places need to be marched on and burned to the ground.

  • REGISTER TO VOTE AS A "REPUBLICAN" and vote for Ron Paul in your state's primary!!! This is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL!!! The very future of our Republic is at stake!!!!!!!!! THIS. IS. IT. People!!!

  • If only the Vietnamese had detained John McCain indefinitely...

  • @BudWithBeats76

    That is uncalled for...

  • @BudWithBeats76 Damn straight. The bastard was obviously brainwashed into become a totalitarian stooge.

    Fuck him. He's a traitor. And deserves to be hung.

  • Anyone involved in globalisation should be tried and processed for treason. Global government is treason on the face. FTNWO!

  • @Jokertattooo I wouldn't say that Global Government is treason. After all it is inevitable. It just needs to be voluntary and in a Constitutional Republic format.

  • @Jokertattooo There is a difference between globalisation and a one-world-government. Globalisation is mainly, among other things, about trade and communication. If anyone involved with globalisation should be tried, it would mean all Internet users.

  • The majority of the American public are uninformed so that is absolute BS. I never did like that squirrel cheeked mofugga McCain.

  • McShame

  • John McCain! If US Military had NOT been in the Foreign Lands where 'Terrorist' R released there would have been NO US further Causalities #UFail

  • McCAIN IS A TRAITOR and A GLOBALIST.

  • Here is a former detainee of the Vietnamese government arguing for indefinitely detaining people. Charlie should have dispatched with McCain when they had the chance, or at least removed his tounge back in Nam.

  • John McCain, you SUCK!!!

  • John Mcain needs to retire, he's a progressive Globalist.

  • Lets make it legal to ignore laws

  • Anarchy....TRUE Liberty.

  • @helltrackrider

    "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all" - Thomas Jefferson

    Anarchy is as far from liberty as tyranny. Without rule of law, there is nothing to enforce my rights. In anarchy, i cant leave my house because what if i come home and someone has taken it?

    Government is evil, but its a necessary evil. Its why our founders attempted to chain it down and make it as small as possible with the Constitution. We only have our selves to blame for what we have now.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Do you own a trailor home?...If not, I seriously doubt someone will "take" your house.

    That Constitution worked WONDERS for the Native Americans and African Americans....wait...nevermind, scratch that.

    Seriously, drop the indoctrination slave speak..."We only have our selves to blame for what we have now"...

    I cannot be blamed for shit...I dont vote, I did not agree to ANY of the terms imposed upon my by others - I am forced to adhere to the terms with the threat of my life.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheArcaneSanctum

    "You're"

  • @helltrackrider You're to concerned with interwebs grammar ;p

  • @helltrackrider If there is no rule of law, which is what anarchy is, whats to stop me from coming to your house and forcing you out? You. So if i bring more guys with bigger guns, there is nothing to stop me taking your house. That's anarchy.

    The terms that threaten your life are mostly unconstitutional. We are all to blame, because our government is a government of the people. the government is only allowed to run rampant because we allow it.

  • @NoseNuggets

    "Our" Government...

    Can you provide me with "My" proof of consent please?...I am assuming that "I" am part of "Our"...correct?

    Im not saying that you and your thugs wouldnt be able to invade my home; but ... the consequences for evil and the evil doers would be out in the open ... today, the evil doers hide behind words like "Police Officer"..."US Military"..."Public Official"...etc.

  • @helltrackrider virtually nothing about our federal government is constitutional or working the way our founders intended it. so lets just get that straight. im in no way advocating for the what we have today in America. but anarchy is in no way the answer either - i dont think you fully grasp what it is you are advocating.

  • @NoseNuggets

    I know...that whole non-legitimized violence thing is such a bore; we need theft...we need war...we need rape...we need kidnapping all to be a legitimate function to entertain us; and just so we do not get a guilty concious about our dismal ethics and morals - we will assign all these necessary evil functions to a ficticious entity we can call "Government"

    You do realize that THIS is the reality of what YOU are advocating?...Have you grasped that yet?

  • @helltrackrider theft rape and kidnapping are all violations of basic human rights, no government should have the power to do any of these things. how you have come to the conclusion that i advocate these things is a mystery. why dont you make arguments based on the statements i am making, rather then the assumptions you are making.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Taxation - Theft.

    Imprisonment for victimless crimes - Kidnapping.

    Being molested in prison for said victimless crime - Rape.

    Care to rebutt any of these?...Please use logic and facts.

    Claiming "Taxation is not Theft" is illogical and non-factual; so dont start there.

  • @helltrackrider Taxation - there is no constitutional allowances for any direct taxes. apportioned taxes are voluntary (tax on gas as an example.)

    Kidnapping - the most abundant victimless crime that jumps to mind is drug possession. the constitution gives the federal government no power to pick and choose which inert substances are illegal to posses.

    rape - prison rape is a crime and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

    taxing wages IS theft.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Taxation is a claim to ownership...the Government owns nothing; what gives it the right to claim any fees or taxes from a purchase between two parties?...this is theft.

    The increased cost of a good or service due to an outside entity claiming ownership over the purchase, good or service...any additional fees or taxes leveed upon a good or service - other than those agreed upon between the two parties exchanging ownership or services - is theft...plain and simple.

  • @helltrackrider there is no federal sales tax. the constitution does not bind states, it binds the federal government. if you have issues with your states tax policies, that's a different matter entirely. some states have no sales tax, and you are welcome to live there if you choose. in other words, under our government, its not illigal for the state to impose sales taxes. if the people of that state vote for those taxes thats their prerogative.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Im not speaking directly towards "Sales" taxes...taxes are taxes; regardless of where they are leveed...they are all theft.

    import, export, excise ... all theft.

    Why do you so adamantly support theft?...It is absolutely illogical to do so; if it were logical - it would be universally applicable - therefore, NOONE could be punished for theft...not me, not you, not the State.

    What is so great about theft?...please, explain.

  • @helltrackrider i wont disagree that the premise of taxation is theft to some degree, but under our form of government aportioned taxes, which are voluntary, are legal. and i would agree with that. i like driving on nicely paved roads, so i dont have a problem paying a tax on gasoline. an income tax is different because the government is forcing me through threat of force and incarcertation to take my money, and allow me to keep a portion of it.

  • @NoseNuggets

    So...roads is a logical conclusion for theft?

    Do you like having your grass cut?...maybe I should steal from you and cut your grass in return!

    Fact is...roads would be provided in a stateless society; ever driven through a recently developed neighborhood?...roads paid for by the developer - not by taxes...utilities paid for by the developer - not by taxes...here is the best part, after the developer pays for them; the local Government siezes them.

  • @helltrackrider theft? i willingly paid for gasoline. it cant be theft if i partook in the transaction willingly. the government taking my income IS theft, as i dont have a choice. i cant choose to not be taxed and not benefit from the services my taxes go towards. i can ride a bike if i dont want to pay taxes on gas.

  • @NoseNuggets

    You willingly paid for gas...yes; but an additional cost was added for what reason?...Does the Government have any "skin in the game" for production, transportation, storage, advertisement, etc of the gasoline?...NO

    They CLAIM a share of ownership by the barrel of a gun...this is THEFT.

    Dont sugar coat it and see this as a "Voluntary" tax because you "Voluntarily" bought some gas.

    I voluntarily accepted a job; income tax is therefore not theft...same principle.

  • @helltrackrider i told you what reason, to pay for roads. the tax is there to begin with because the people of that state allowed it to happen. no local government through fiat just passes new taxes. they are voted on by the citizenry. we arent talking about presidency waging war with executive order here and totally ignoring the rule of law. a state fuel tax is there by consensus. they dont claim owenership, they are adding a tax to facilitate costs the people have voted on.

  • @NoseNuggets

    I didnt vote on it.

    Should I be held accountable for it; even if i did vote - but didnt vote with the winning team?

    Why should the store operator not be allowed to offer the gas to me at a "tax free" cost if i dont want to pay the taxes?

    You do realize how lost you are in your own arguments dont you?...You are trying on one hand to support Liberty and the next words out of your mouth are "tax" or "Government"...both anti-Liberty by definition.

  • @helltrackrider You need to realize there is a difference between state and federal government when it comes to the application of the Constitution. I'm not trying to argue that a constitutional government is perfect, but its certainly the best we have within the confines of a monetary society. I'll repeat the very first sentence i posted in this thread,

    "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all" - Thomas Jefferson

    let that sink in a bit.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Jefferson owned slaves you know.

    Jefferson started the Barbary Wars - without Congress...He purchased Louisianna without Congress...passed the Embargo Act of 1807...supported Public Education...even supported the removal of Native Americans...

    Not very Constitutional and certainly not an "Individual Liberty" guy...

  • @helltrackrider this isnt the place to delve into the history of Thomas Jefferson. nor do his actions, justifiable or not, diminish the veracity of the quote. the quote stands on its own, and its the truth. thats what the intent of our constitutional government was, weather thats what we have today or not.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Truth cannot be hypocrisy as well.

    Government cannot secure "Rights" while at the SAME TIME violate "Rights"...

    If you want to use a quote and have it mean something; try non-hypocritical one...

    A Government cannot exist without force and compulsion...if people were allowed to "opt out" and not fund the Govenrment - it would cease to exist; so...it relies on misseducation of the youth and guns.

  • @helltrackrider There is nothing hypocritical about the statement in and of itself. an argument could be made about the validity of the statement as it pertains to the individual to said it. but thats a very big argument not suited to a 500 character limit. so, ill say it again, there is nothing in the constitution that allows the federal government to violate your rights. if you dispute this point, cite a section of the constitution that backs your argument.

  • @NoseNuggets

    I have already explained to you...anyone who wishes to NOT fund the Federal Govt is NOT given that option...I dont think I need to cite references - like the allowance of slavery - when the gun in the room (taxation) is so obvious.

    The quote is hypocritical; regardless of who says it...you are blinded by your own patriotism and non-wavering love for your Constitution dogma that you cannot see clearly.

  • @helltrackrider haha okay, so you advocate anarchy. give me the 123 on what happens when i show up at your house with 15 friends, all armed, and kick you out of it at 2:00am. or better yet, you go on vacation and come back and find me and 15 friends in your house, claiming it as our own.

  • @NoseNuggets You obviously do not understand Anarchist views.

  • @NoseNuggets

    Here is another victimless crime...gambling....or prostitution...or tax evasion...or crossing a ficticious "border".

    Is it okay to kidnap someone because of any of these?

    How can a Government function without taxation?...NO Government throughout history has been "Voluntary" ... you are born into it, you are the forced tax livestock of it ... and often times you cannot leave it.

    How reasonable is it to punish someone for being born?...not very.
