  • Thank you ReasonTV for your consistency. You are the only people with brains.

  • lol oh liberals. When will you join reality?

  • The song?

  • These are their fans? Wow...

  • USA should really invest more in education

    Smart people make a strong country

    Right now they are neither

  • I've got it! All you students who have loans just take out more money and SPEND IT...that's what the government does so it's got to work for you to right!

  • fucking hypocrites and idiots

  • Lets say that 100 men, women, and children are trapped for weeks in a remote mountain village by a natural disaster (say, floods, mudslides, fire). The disaster destroyed the village's emergency food and water supplies, but there is a privately owned store with supplies. The owner of the store tells the people that they cannot have his stuff, but they take it anyway. Later, things go back to normal and the store thrives. Using only rational arguments, explain why taking property was wrong

  • @awiley51 As I suspected, libertarians do not have any rational arguments for why taking private property, in this situation, is wrong. What does this prove? Only this--the right to private property is not absolute. While the right to private property is important and ought to carry a lot of weight, there are other moral considerations that also matter. Achieving a society that is free, just, and humane requires some public, collective action Libertarians hold no higher rational ground.

  • The 'gun pointed to their heads' comment is just tired libertarian nonsense that they fall back on when, as is so often the case, their arguments fail to hold water. Much to the regret of libertarians, this is a democracy, try looking up a little concept called consent of the governed. The idea that the middle class gets nothing back from EARNED BENEFITS (that's what they are, not 'entitlements') like social security and medicare is as stupid as it is false.

  • Just look at the difference in the way these guys are portrayed VS how we are shown those at wall street

  • I built myself up a debt playing roulette, some say it's a loosing game, so I Got myself a shitload of new creditcards.

    It didnt work :(

  • There are plenty of stupid people at liberal and conservative party.

  • The Republibertarian response to Warren Buffet's reasonable arguments for slightly raising taxes on the very wealthy is, well, if Warren Buffet wants to pay more taxes, let him! A reasonable person might ask, can we expect the same from people who want to gut entitlements? That is, if you support drastic cuts to entitlements, then shouldn't you give up yours? No medicare, no social security, won't bother the billionnaires who own the Republican party, but it might affect their zombie army

  • @awiley51 No, it's not reasonable to ask. The people who support entitlement cuts have a gun pointed to their heads under the current tax system. Warren Buffet isn't getting robbed when he claims he isn't paying enough. People who pay taxes are, and any entitlements they get is simply getting some of their money back. You're asking the middle class to pay for entitlements but not collect a dime of it back. We're asking Warren to pay money he claims he doesn't even want. How is that reasonable?

  • @awiley51 Everyone should give up their "entitlements," I have payed into social security for 9 years, I will NEVER see that money again. I am 26 years old, I will never see a social security check, the payments i make on a weekly basis go to current claims. Meaning instead of a trust fund, it is infact, money laudering. My money is taken, and given to someone else. There will be no money for the younge because there is no savings for the old.

  • @awiley51 Social Security was set up so that 90% of the people, when reaching benifit age, would be dead. That is sustainable, why do you think they keep raising the age of benefit? Damn theives.

  • Well, to get out of debt, I could cut spending, raise revenues, or both. Ignoring the RAISE REVENUES part doesn't make you stupid, but it might make you an unreasonable dogmatic libertarian, who is "always right" in the way that ALL true believers are "always right," that is, they have constructed a belief system that is cut off completely from facts and logic, and thus can never be wrong. Crazy, not helpful, "always right."

  • @awiley51 One would argue, that raising revinue would not help, because revinue gained by government is revinue spent, plus some more. You have to cut back government. Giving the children more money to play with doesn't fix their spending problem.

  • "You save more money by spending more money". HAHAHAAHAHA. What a dumba##!!!!!

  • @Mr316niles=FUCK YOU RACIST

  • @CodyRhodessafag2

    Im a rascist cause this dumbass doesn't know how to budget??? Fuck you too douchebag

  • @Mr316niles=Fuck you Faggot

    idiot

  • @mr300ism

  • @Mr316niles=Bitch

  • @CodyRhodessafag2

    Rascist!!!! Where did i say say anything racial about this clown!!! Fuck you too douchebag

  • Comment removed

  • This is soooo embarrassing [slaps face in hand]

  • @yvonnia123=ASSHOLE

  • @ACOLLEGEGEOCONSERVATIVE

    just trollin'... isnt what i said the whole point of the rally?

  • KICK OUT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS !!!!! so when my hotel room is getting cleaned or lawn being mowed it can be a white person!!.... a blue eyed blonde white person so i can enjoy that shit!!!! and ofcourse the poor uneducated blacks in our inner cities can get a great job out in the fileds picking plants for our state! yay!!

    .

  • @TheJuanrodriguez You sound like a moron.

  • I don't want to live on this planet anymore....

  • I like your Stewart. I do not like your Stewartians.

  • @Madfoot713=Fuck you Teabagger

  • @mr300ism Am I a birther because I think Obama is a Keynesian?

  • @david52875 yes

  • @CAM8689 Google John Maynard Keynes and you might realize how stupid you are.

  • @david52875 I looked it up and you still sound like a damn fool not that a fool such as yourself has the mental capacity to realize it......If Obama really believed this nonsense you claim he does half the stuff he has done he wouldn't have and the bailout for wall street is but one example of that.

  • @CAM8689 So you are saying that Obama is not a Keynesian? You are such an ignorant fool.

  • @david52875 And Your a Teabagger piece of shit

  • @david52875 maybe not a birther on second thought but truly ignorant nonetheless and the funny thing is there are quite a few Keynesians why would disagree with you and don't feel that Obama and John Keynes are such the ideological soulmates you think

  • fuck ya lets get outta debt by making more of it fuck ya

  • I've never heard someone use a word like "Hyperbole" in a sentence, yet sound so stupid.

  • @timm3117=BITCH

  • @Sweepersucksballs gotta love Liberal Tolerance.

  • if i was in debt i would spend mysylf outta debt.... GENIUS

  • @slimchancejw I went to school with that kid and cracked up when I saw him in this video. Sad

  • @mr300ism You sound like you're very intelligent.

  • @ACOLLEGECONSERVATIVE

    Yes. He makes a solid argument, doesn't he?

  • @Boredpersons55 Oh definitely, such great points he has...

  • @slimchancejw You obviously have never even thought about the interworkings of a Corporation right?

  • @slimchancejw Now you can file for BANKRUPTCY!!!!!! AND GET HOMELESS BENEFITS.

  • @slimchancejw The only way that would work for an individual is if you borrow more money except this time to start a business of some sort that turns out to be a success.

  • Being ultra liberal is the new cool thing! Come on people, lets do it!

  • @jc8liter2388=RACIST!

  • @Sweepersucksballs

    Oh, I could defintley see the racisim in jc8's statement.

  • commie shitwads

  • lol @ the good rush bad rush guy not knowing they were objectivists

  • This was a pretty weak collection of stupid people. When you listen to these people you think, "they are stupid." When you listen to the stupid people on the conservative end of the spectrum, you think, "they are stupid— and now I am slightly afraid for my life."

  • The best line: "That makes absolutely no sense, but I think it's awesome."

  • These people calling Glen Beck a moron is like the pot calling the kettle 'black' I have never seen such stupidity in my life. These poor idiots can barely put together a coherent thought among them, never mind as individuals! Very sad indeed!

  • @arwen9331=TEABAGGER

  • gj Kyle Hartz

  • To be fair Glen Beck is a moron.

  • To be fair, you find the same shit at a republican rally too. I love being a libertarian. I get to call everyone stupid, and I'm always right.

  • @asleeperj But calling everyone stupid doesn't get us anywhere because libertarians will still never be elected and become a mainstream party. I am a libertarian too, but I am a registered republican because they are currently the most conservative party that has a chance of winning an election. Even in 60-80% of them are morons. It is better than the 90-95% of democrats who are morons.

  • @Fordtrucksown You do realize the US is over due for a party shift? Historically speaking. The parties should not dictate what you believe. Write your legislature to over turn voting laws that keep individuals from voting in primaries that do not register. Any law to that distinction is counter intuitive to a republic. We need individualism brought back to the US, and not more collectivism.

  • @asleeperj So, you oppose collectivism like the Libertarian party, corporations, democracy, the free market, collective actions to protect private property, drug farmers, and Youtube discussions?

  • @awiley51 Pretty much, democracy is mob rule, A republic is rule of law. A corporation is a government created entity that protects individuals, or a group of individuals against the mistakes they may make. The free market is individualistic, not against it, what we have to day is a quasi centrally planned, heavily lobbied by business, and unions. Last but not least, it is your job to protect you private property, hire someone to protect it, or sue for damages if it is taken.

  • @awiley51 The fact of the matter is, it is not the cops legal position to protect you or your property, it is in fact yours, see Warren v. District of Columbia ruling. Sorry the cops can take away your 14th amendment, and keep on trucking, but when it comes to protecting you, or your things, you're on your own.

  • @asleeperj  amen to that!

  • @asleeperj Actually, the republicans cleaned up after themselves.

  • Favorited

  • Cut the fucking corp tax from 35% to 15%.. Create millions of jobs like 3 million.

    Drill for resources in america and create millions of jobs.

    Libya is not a war liberals??

  • Haha the only people who had a coherent answers was the Libertarians.

  • Ugh, somehow this group is even worse than the Tea Partiers. What the fuck?

  • @SirHprdgn=BITCH

  • Now here's proof of flouride in the water

  • They should have more of these retard conventions, it keeps the proles busy and happy.

  • 5:30 - That's a true pal. Stand by chuckling while your friend crashes and burns.

  • @MooseOfReason=Bitch!

  • what a bunch of idiots

  • @boricua6483=Idiot!

  • Reason and other outlets have documented this, the Beck rally and Tea Party rallies.

    Apparently, "rally" is presently a euphemism for "retard festival."

  • @rqbuchanan=You are a retard bitch!

  • No wonder by looking at areal pictures, the Beck crowd outnumbered these morons.

  • @man11withaplan=YOU ARE A MORON!

  • @merceratus36 Thank you for being able to continue to prove my point. Take my advice, if opening your mouth serves to remove all doubt, I would keep it closed. If resorting to personal attacks is all what you got, then you are no different than a ignorant thug

  • @man11withaplan=You are a thug bitch!

  • Commies aren't cool and communism does not equal sanity!

  • at 1:10 you can obviously see the dude is a communist...and yet people say this administration and this rally didn't involve communism....yeah.....

  • That was awesome. Actually making the elitist libs think and not being able to express a single intellegent thought. They are such haters.

  • @AMERICANWAPITI=FUCK YOU TEABAGGER!

  • correct me if I am wrong but wasn't this supposed to be a moderate or libertarian rally?

  • @Loltochapel=TEABAGGER!

  • @geraldineferrarosuck WTF I was asking a legitimate question. BTW if you take a look at my channel it is obvious I am a progressive you dumbass! I was not trying to redicule the rally I honestly thought Stephen Colbert and John Stewart are libertarians and if they are liberals that is even better!

  • 5:20 The reason college students aren't taken seriously

  • @squints328=BITCH!

  • yeeeeeh libertarians!

  • I love this.

  • What the heck was the purpose of this rally :L

  • My favorite person was the woman who said anyone who puts hitler mustaches on people is ridiculous...unless it's bush

  • lol at this video. i almost spat out my drink at the end. hilarious

  • I don't want the government planning my future.

  • The rally to restore sanity was less about the government and more about the media. If the media shows responsible, grown-up reportage, the government will tend to follow because they'll see that that's what the people want. Because our elected officials don't listen to the common man, they listen to the media's interpretation of it.

  • lol @ all the left-wing nutjobs who don't even know why they're there.. you gotta protest something huh?

  • @kensei85 lol @ all the right wing losers who try and compare a rally hosted by comedians to political rallies held by the right

  • @SWKentertainment were you there? It sounds like you need some sanity restored. There is more merit in protesting the government over specific problems than engaging in this pointless nonsense.

  • @kensei85 i was actually. and most people were dressed normally and acted like normal people. and are you referring to the pointless nonsense you willingly engaged in when you called people you disagreed with nutjobs?

  • @kensei85=BUSH COCKSUCKER!

  • @geraldineferrarosuck =RETARD!

  • @kensei85=Retard!

  • @geraldineferrarosuck = shut the fuck up, both of you

  • @geraldineferrarosuck You are both obviously on the same side, considering that your both using the same lame insults.

  • You can't make money without spending money, or so they say. At least not the easy way it seems. =-/

  • You interviewed me but you didn't broadcast that? You only aired the farther left. You are a hypocrite.

  • @DerDarthenFritzster yeah just like the the left give all the air time to the "far right" dingbats...paybacks a bitch.

  • that people are stupid........

  • @TheRealMrDanks=STUPID TEABAGGER!

  • OMG so much stupidity. 90% of these people know absolutely nothing

  • @TheRealMrDanks Anybody can go to any gathering, film 300 interviews and pick out all the dumb fucks and make a montage out of it. What are you trying to prove?

  • @NifE4HD oh and nobody does that to the tea party? so when liberals do it, its fine. but if conservatives do it, its an abomination? explain that

  • @TheRealMrDanks=You're mom is a teabagger just like you

  • @xkeltoix How could you even think that something like an extension of yourself, your brain (i.e your body) is not a matter that you are not responsible for? If you don't own your body then I could easily enslave you and argue that you have no right to your body because your body does not belong to yourself - it belongs to me, or the state, or something general, like nature. I could argue that I am part of nature and I also have a say in what I do with "my" body. Your argument is anti-reality.

  • @pSychOAtDawn You dont control your brain entirely.

    also

    "then I could easily enslave you"

    False, if you cant own yourself you cant own anything else either.

  • @xkeltoix Ultimately, it's you who chooses to function as a human being, you control your conscience, and your decisions. Next time you're out on the street, try crossing the crosswalk on a green light and tell yourself that you couldn't control your brain entirely. Apart from the autonomous things like breathing, there is no excuse for you to do things that involve a conscious choice. You're a troll. You follow the libertarian party just as I do. Nice try.

  • @xkeltoix I could OWN you. Legally you would have no binding to your body because guess what? By your definition, It doesn't belong to you!!! By my standards, you are nothing and I can claim you for no price but proclamation. The time you decide to object is the time you decide that your life actually has value.

  • @xkeltoix Are you serious? Wow, I didn't think someone actually thought like this but I hate to break it to you...you have responsibility for YOURSELF and not anyone ELSE. Legally, until you're 18 you have the right to do whatever you want to your body but in all reality, since the day you were born anything you did and every action you took was with your property and was under your supervision and your doing.

  • Loved the interview with the two younger guys discussing the debt. That made no sense at all. People are so simple.

  • Thanks. As I've always assumed. There are idiots on both sides.

  • lady at 3:20 till 3:40 - classic America for ya.

    "Reasonable people don't put Hitler mustaches on people"... 5 seconds later...

    "Bush is the only one that should have a Hitler mustache"

    Sometimes the stupidity of people in my country makes me sad.

  • 4:30! Yep . . .

  • Comment removed

  • What a joke... A rally to restore approved sanity.

    Can't find a single thing you admire about even the motivations of the right? That's failing the first test of sanity right there...

    Next you've got a woman saying that no resonable person would put a nazi mustache on ANYONE. Then saying Bush would deserve it if anyone did... HOW ABOUT FUCKING HITLER YOU TURD!!!

    Lastly you've got some blacks saying they wouldn't go to Beck's rally. Martin Luther King Jr's niece obviously disagreed...

  • @blondiebabae So they disagreed. Alright . . .

  • Jon Stewarts Brother is the Chief Operating Officer of the NY Stock Exchange. Tell me he doesnt have an ajenda.

  • I agree that this video makes Reason TV look bad. Perhaps more older people with more real life experience and wisdom should do more and be more visible. The young, smart as they can be, tend to be overly simplistic in their understanding of things. (So do some older people, but fewer of them.)

  • He didn't say it well, but the young man's point was valid: Sometimes one has to spend money to make money. The U.S. is going to spend money, and putting more money into our infrastructure and building new industries, as in science, medical coverage, and new energies, is necessary to turn things around. It is like a business that borrows money to put into growing the business, and then the loan is paid back by the larger, stronger company. That's what he meant, he just didn't know how to say it.

  • @Daisymight Yea sure.

  • Planning means absolutely nothing unless you carry out with it. Even a child can realize that.

  • WAR in Iraq War in Afghanistan Drone bombing civilians in Pakistan Reinstated the Patriot Act Kept Bushs defense secretary Protecting Poppy Fields in Afghanistan(drug dealing) WAR on drugs Bail out the RICH give the millions in bonuses . Same Old War Machine New Bush, as in vagina and complete puppet and pathetic excuse for a HUMAN. Cool Peace prize though

  • ReasonTV has lost all credibility through this video.

    Asking about how to stop the debt? Simple as stop spending? Oh why don't we stop taxing too? Wait, that ceases revenue. Wait, we can't just stop having war's that we're already in, Wait, lets just stop spending across the board seems simple to me.

    Fucking simpleton reporter.

  • @Maver1ck911 You don't need to tax so much if you don't spend so much. Did you think at all before you typed that comment?

  • @ACOLLEGECONSERVATIVE Thats hilarious, because the Social Security system, the country's rural infrastructure (taxation on the state level), and this country's national debt is out of control. So yeah i did. There are too many problems to fix through old school conservative strategies.

  • @Maver1ck911 The other strategies are what caused the mess, and you want to try to fix them by continuing to use them? Nice.

  • Liberalism=insanity

  • @agnostaxian and conservatism is retardation

  • @oakaveli ohhhh, ouch. You suuuuurrrrre got me. Good comeback

  • @agnostaxian you're funny...NOT

  • @oakaveli lol!

  • @oakaveli LOL! ;)

  • "is there a goofyness on the left?? I suppose so"

    All hail the jabba the hut government!!

  • Why does everyone think we have to keep using money? Money is an imaginary concept. Numbers are imaginary. We run a nation on an imaginary concept and people still scratch their heads wondering what the problem is? Are you really this dumb? More people worship money than they do a real God. Sanity? You people thrive on insanity. If someone stood up and suggested a new way of doing things I bet you all would beat them and nail them to a cross. Hitler ran Germany without bank money. Look it up.

  • i dont*

    yt needs an edit button.

  • hey libs, whatever happened to "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it"? and no i'm not a conservative so don't even bother with partisan bitchfighting, you'll just embarass yourself.

  • 5:11 "How can you not add to the debt when everything is this bad?" "Stop spending." lol.

  • KEEP THE PEOPLE DIVIDED AND FIGHTING AND THE ELITE WINS.

  • That last guy is the face of liberalism in America. How can you possibly side with someone like that?
