John Conyers speaking at Democratic Socialists of America meeting

[Trotsky91]

Way to go Conyers! The lack of regulation allowed the greedy banks to destroy our economy, we need to make them accountable to the public. We need to support a society for the commons and not just a society for the few

[tabhorian]

Democratic Socialism will save this country eventually.

[claywoman]

there is nothing unconstitutional about democratic socialism. most commenters here are grossly uninformed. Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance, The 5 day work week, are all ideas that came from Socialists. Most of the rest of the western world works just fine with much more Socialism than we have. We have a mixed economy, with Capitalist and Socialist elements. You are confusing Socialism with Marxism and Communism.

[swiftysmithuk]

Department of Peace?

Sounds a lot like The Ministry of Love

If socialism doesn't lead to a dictatorship that takes away everything you own, why do socialists insist upon placing everything that you have into the hands of a dictatorial distribution network thats designed and directed by the very people who are running the system now?

Is it because it would be inevitable that once this total control over you was in place you would revolt and enter a Communist utopia of freedom?

LOL!

Suckers!

[bobbyjames1986]

also...make sure you tell a fireman...cop..teacher...libra­rian...postal worker...garbage man...etc etc that they should work soley for the purpose of maximizing profits

[bobbyjames1986]

All of you wunnabe constitutioanl scholars need to take a constitutional law course at your local community college...again...just because you dont agree with the goals of socialism doesnt make it illegal somehow. one world!!

[xleftoutindigox]

I love Conyers, he's an open member of the DSA and PDA and doesn't hide his beliefs. He's not a radical by any means - I mean, Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King endorsed him when he was still alive, and he's a democratic socialist, which is a philosophy that is only center-left - it's against oppressive bureaucracy, overpowering government, is staunchly anti-Marxist and merely wants the people to have more so in their own government and life. I'm not a democratic socialist, but I DO respect him.

[horsie111]

Fascism: The left's solution for everything, always

[branch42]

At the very least, a violation of his congressional Oath.

[bobbyjames1986]

@branch42 how so?

[branch42]

The one world government that he espouses, cannot happen with out the destruction of US sovereignty. He took an oath to uphold the Constitution. What he wants is contrary to that oath. The The erasing of our borders, both physical and political is patently a violation. If people want to change the fabric of the US, you do not use activist judges and unconstitutional agencies. The amendment process is the only constitutional way to change the governments use of force over us.

[mn8aol]

TREASON

[onceuponamidnightdry]

These are the people running the unions in our country, educating our children via the NEA and in our universities, the people who deliver most of the news we receive and who are pulling the strings at countless foundations with billions of dollars to support their effort to destroy our country.

Our battle with the forces of evil have only just begun.

[hookalakah]

"What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?" --John Conyers on the Obama heathcare bill

[eternaly8]

worshipped as gods.

Obumma is the one who is trying to usher in this obomination (think about it) with his effort to destroy our economy, first with the ridiculous 'health care' mandate, which prays on our fear and would make us all slaves to the nanny state so that we can be controlled by force!

It and more to come diabolical laws will bankrupt the US financialy to that end.

WAKE UP AMERICA and check out the facts of what is going on.

We are in the beginnings of the end of our free society!

[eternaly8]

This 'man' along with the extreme left are DELUDED!

They are hypnotized by an ideology that has NO place on OUR GREAT COUNTRY, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which was founded by GREAT MEN with VISIONS and has served us up till now, trials and tribulations not withstanding, because we are not perfect as pointed out by JESUS, but at least always trying to achieve that goal!

The urge to a one world gov't is controlled by the dark powers that want to control the whole world so 'they' are

[Midspoint]

Unbelievable that these people are running our country...into the ground!!!

[abhooksTX]

In case you had any doubt about the direct involvement of the Unions and the Democrats concerted effort to aggressively force socialism down our throats, this video that proves the point. You can not stop the Tea Party because we are open and proud of our beliefs, the socialist/marxists must hide their true intentions and plot behind closed doors until the time when they take control.

[19gasaholic69]

@gary6599: Statistically, Democrats are in the minority in the US.

On topic, the DSA and its supporters are just plain silly. Carry that garbage back to Europe where it belongs.

[yakyakyak69]

What is the penalty for High Treason against America and the Constitution?

[zedsdeadz]

He has to stand up for his own principles, yet he has to side with the democratic party regardless?

Why do you need to do any such thing?

Stand up for your principles, others will stand up for theirs, and parties will be united along shared principles. Allegiance to principles > allegiance to party.

[gary6599]

Whats wrong with the DSA, if Democrats are attracted to the movement thats a good thing isnt it, after all the majority of people in this Country are Democrats thats why there in power right.

[pandrews122]

Who elects idiots like this?

[quizerry]

If you want socialism move to France or Greece.

[BuskrChuk]

Who needs Osama when you've got Obama? & hacks like Conyers & every last traitor that voted for Obama Care against the will of the overwhelming majority of the American people. Government of, by & for the people in a Constitutional Republic is a foreign concept to this crowd.

[1Guitarslayer]

the party of food stamps

[okpatriot]

HE is SO BORING!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

He takes FOREVER just to STRING TOGETHER a SIMPLE SENTENCE!!!!!

[okpatriot]

Error, try again

[TheSharpenedPen]

And they tried to tell me I was crazy when I said there was a concerted effort towards a socialist one-world government.

[gunloc26]

I can't wait til this old mofo dies! Will be a time to celebrate!

[rubbercheck72]

Treason! A blatant display of a breach of their oath to uphold the Constitution of the U.S. How can it be possible that charges of treason are not brought forth? Upfront declaration to destroy the sovereignty of the USA by this "one world" bullshit.

[theconservativelib]

You guys are all pretty funny. I'm wondering when most of you will realize that they are all lying and there's no plot to destroy America - it's a plot to keep their jobs while making more money and destroying America is just the effect of it. Politics is like wrestling. All of them are fooling you guys. Have fun voting the Republicans back in this November and then acting shocked when all they do is support corporate America. The only socialism here is corporate welfare.

[isthatfunny]

The road to destruction was paved by progressives,this is just a fact in Amerika.The end is on the horizon and this man hasn't a clue about We The People.Obama"s second term went out the window when refused to show his birth certificate.

[theconservativelib]

@isthatfunny You're right I guess all that deregulation and shipping jobs to China were progressive causes. Get a grip, they are all messing this shit up. Extremes on both sides have most of us fooled.  The truth lies somewhere in the rational middle.

[ztimbo]

Too bad we dont have treason anymore. We could rebound the economy just on rope sales.

[RobetPaulG]

What a POS. Need to throw this garbage out of office ASAP.

[spellbinder00]

A Orwell statement @2:14 and Deprtment of Peace @2:55

Orwell spoke in his novel of words with two meainings. "Peace is War" equals Newspeak and Doublethink, hence the Ministry of Peace (Minipax) deals with war. Hasn't all wars on something always end up doing the opposite, then it was intended? Wars that never end, to enslave our minds or keep us in fear.

[arfywarfy]

Socialists, One World vision... their talk about reigning Obama in... OK, first, people have to understand that Socialists didn't disappear when the Berlin Wall fell, they came to America. Second, just listen to Conyers. Tell me he is not the poster child for TERM LIMITS.

[laserpatch]

Anyone, regardless of their position, status, race or religion should be tried for treason for wanting to undermine the Constitution and Government of the Untied States of America for a One World Government. Americans, all, black, white, red and yellow should stand together to stop this Socialist tyranny against our great nation. In over 200 years, America has done more and given more than any other nation on earth. “United we stand, divided we fall!” I am an American!

[todeck]

Amazing. As a black man, I am ashamed of men like Conyers and Obama who seek to destroy this great country of ours. They do it for power. They are arrogant narcissists that care nothing about the rest of us. This is what happens when Americans don't care enough about this country and our freedom to become informed about what's going on. We vote in socialist/marxist progressives into office that seek to destroy our country from within. Wake up people! Quit being stupid!

[ralphdjeeper]

@todeck AmenBrother,America is not Socialist,and we will never let it be,this Ass and his friends should be kicked out of office and then our Country.

[bobbyjames1986]

its sad you have to make people with different ideas on how to fix things into unpatriotic america haters hell bent on distroying this country. keep being a patriot and vote republican..you know..the guys that wouldn't give healthcare benefits to

9-11 workers because of the cost but are willing to spend billions on tax breaks for the richest 2%. class warfare is here and you need to decide if your with the corporations, wallstreet, and billionaires or with the rest of us. wake up indeed.

[gunnerg42]

@bobbyjames1986 thats the american dream to be rich. i do not believe we need to tax the wealthy people who worked their asses off to get their fortune, just to give it to the poor lazy people on welfare. That is not America, you work hard for your money, its not the governments responsibility or right to come take it away.

[noldorian86]

@todeck lol these people are harmless compared to other politicians

[itisYOUREnotYOUR]

Hope your wife is giving/receiving plenty of cunnilingus from fellow inmates. She deserves to be pleasured for once.

[dumboldrats]

TRAITOR, MORONIC PROGRESSIVE/LIB/COMMIE/SOCIALI­ST FREAK! I hope like hell this man is tarred and feathered for these beliefs, and all the other freaks who follow this line of crap! Kick Conyers in the balls and get on with a better congressman who believes in the U.S. still. These idiots don't even believe in the greatness of this country anymore. IDIOTS, LIBS, PROGRESSIVES, COMMIES, SOCIALISTS...Remember November. Baby, it's not much longer and we'll be free at last, free at last!!

[MrCone223]

Democrat + Republicans = Global Federalist

Constitutionalists/Old democrat-republicans/ Libertarians = Anti Federalist

End the Fed

[coaltrader07]

It's time to begin prosecuting the traitors in our Congress and White House and hopefully executing the Marxist anti American bastards! Anyone that attacks our US Constitution deserves a bullet through the eyes immediately.

[FrancescaGianna]

@coaltrader07 make that two bullets

[MYAR15SaysImFree]

@coaltrader07 2 in the chest and 1 in the head

[bobbyjames1986]

@coaltrader07 so if its not what you believe its anti-american or you truely think these men want to destroy our country in the way al-quada does?

[coaltrader07]

@bobbyjames1986 If it's not in our Constitution or contrary to the Spirit of our Constitution then it's anti-American and no I do not believe they want to destroy our country in the way al-quada does but in the way the Jewish Bolsheviks slaughtered 50 million Russians in the 20th century.

[matrxmax]

This one -world socialist Utopia there are two flanks; the right and the left ( Neo cons are the right flank, and 3rd way Democrats comprise the left flank, either way the establishment is way ahead of the game, they think of everything, to capture dissent they set up their cronies who do their bidding while pretending to be one of us, Glenn Beck come to mind, Lenin said the best way to fight the opposition is to lead it. Glenn and the Neo Cons hi-jacked the Tea Party from Ron Paul.

[coaltrader07]

You are absolutely correct. John McCain would sign away our sovereignty just as damn quick as Obama and the scary thing about it most avg Americans wouldn't think anything about it if McCain did it. Hopefully these globalist have over reached with their nomination of Obama and the eyes of everyday freedom loving Constitution respecting Americans will see throug their duplicity.

[TTURedRaidr]

@coaltrader07 John McCain would never sign away America's sovereignty. I'm getting really tired of those out there who say "all politicians lie", when it is mostly Democrats who do the lying. Name one Socialist Marxist in the Republican party. No my friend, the roaches exist inside the Democrat Party, always have.

[coaltrader07]

@TTURedRaidr America is on a fast road to irrelevance and eventually slavery to the Jewish Apartheid that reigns in our country. I know this is inflammatory and probably shocking to you but we all must come to the realization of the truth. Where do you think John McCain gets 20 million dollars to run in a primary? Look I despise liberals, but at the top of the Republican party are a bunch of snakes! Tea Party may be our last hope.

[TTURedRaidr]

@matrxmax Ron Paul never founded the Tea Party patriot movement. Sorry.

[deepwaters6969]

@matrxmax The Tea party has not been "hi-jacked"........we don't blindly follow ANYONE. EVERY Tea Party member I know looks at Glen and Rush, and Sean with a critical eye. We follow the Constitution .........period. It's simple really, Glen/Rush/Sean/whoever is right ONLY as long as they agree with the Constitition......nuff said.

[theconservativelib]

@deepwaters6969 I wish you guys were protecting the constitution when they suspended habeas corpus and allowed illegal wiretaps and other illegal search and seizures in the name of national security. Maybe YOU were upset but it's funny that MOST of the tea party only got upset about the spending and dismantling of the constitution once Obama got in office. Don't try and tell me you don't follow anybody blindly cause Rush is a drug addict and Sean gets caught editing more than he should.

[Christobanistan]

@theconservativelib If only any of that had ever happened. Where are the prosecutions? Actually, where are the indictments? Heck, where is the evidence of any kind that that ever happened?

[theconservativelib]

@Christobanistan Wow use the google dude. That all happened. You missed that whole illegal wiretaps debate happening a couple years ago? I'm not gonna do the research for you. Liberals were and are F'in pissed off because there were no indictments. You don't remember Obama saying we need to move on? I can't help you if you wanna ignore the facts.

[Christobanistan]

@theconservativelib There were no indictments because there were no laws broken. :)

[theconservativelib]

@Christobanistan I guess not when you make up the laws as you go along. The whole patriot act shat on the constitution, but it was in the name of national security and created new laws so I'll go ahead and go along with it. What do you benefit from having freedoms taken away? Are you that partisan that you only want to believe Obama is evil? Stop playing for teams and help out America. We could really use it.

[Christobanistan]

@theconservativelib "The whole patriot act shat on the constitution"

Oh lordy. Goodbye.

[theconservativelib]

@Christobanistan Seriously? Just google "patriot act unconstitutional" and you'll see a judge already ruled on part of it. So that whole "oh lordy" like this guy is nuts thing is a fabrication. What's your deal? You a loyal partisan or too stubborn to see what happened?

[aurora1962]

"...the tea party only got upset about the dismantling of the constitution once Obama got in office..." Why do you think that is? Maybe because we saw someone who promised to represent all americans complain about that damn constitution & how it keeps getting the way of what he wants to do? Or maybe we finally saw the destructive force of a liberal super-majority in both houses of congress ramming legislation down our throats whether we want it or not - with no one to stop them.

[quizerry]

@aurora1962 The Tea Party actually started in 2007 with Ron Paul who for the last 30 years has been telling us we are headed for big trouble and are destroying our Constitution. The Constitution has made us the strongest most prosperous Country in the World for over 200 years and most politicians are destroying it.

[theconservativelib]

@aurora1962 Or maybe you guys are all brainwashed by fox news to believe that it's only a problem once a liberal black man named hussein got into office. Cause if you lived through the whole Bush years and weren't angry then you were not paying attention. News flash - republicans were in power when this all started. Liberal super majority, give me a break. They can't pass shit cause of republican filibusters. Glad you finally woke up. I was being called "unpatriotic" questioning Bush.

[aurora1962]

@theconservativelib - you are absolutely justified is questioning your govt. Bush was in many ways a fiscal & domestic policy socialist (i.e. big govt. intrusion, & spend, spend, spend) which is the opposite of conservatism. But you're not looking at the facts: Obama has had NO opposition to the implementation of his policies, on a legislative level. Remember - since 2006 the Democrats have had the majority in Congress, & their hands on the strings; & then in 2008, the presidency as well.

[theconservativelib]

@aurora1962 Yeah I wouldn't argue that Obama is doing a great job of restoring the constitution but I'm more concerned about why there was no tea party during the Bush years. Ron Paul revolution was the closest thing I saw and that was more libertarian than republican. This new tea party is only focused on hating Obama, Pelosi and Reid. They are fed their opinions from Fox News and even when Obama does something that benefits them they oppose it. Where was the outrage during Bush?

[CiCiSFU]

@theconservativelib You didn't see the tea party in the Bush years because he wasn't going out of his way to piss on the country. Bush was more subdued about fucking us over than Obama is.

That said, if you think the tea party goes by what fox news says then you're an idiot.

If you actually ever watched fox, you'd know they were after Bush's ass the whole 8 years.

[aurora1962]

@theconservativelib - I don't know if you listened to Fox, Rush, Hannity, Levin, or Savage PRE-Obama - but these guys were very outspoken in their criticism of Bush (his Globalism, spending, domestic agenda, etc). They were no where NEAR in the tank for him, as many accuse them of being. Now compare that to the way the mainstream media has fawned like crazy over everything Obama has done or said - like he can do no wrong. There's been an independent conservatism

for years, but no one cared.

[jackzero99]

Yet another democrat openly calling for the destruction of the USA

[attguy98]

"The Democratic chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee has been caught on tape meeting with a U.S.-based, Marxist-oriented socialist organization to discuss how the group can cooperate to strengthen President Obama and advance their "one-world" plans."

[scotthallseviltwin]

Monica Conyers, the chairwoman of the Detroit City Council and wife of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), pleaded guilty Friday to federal bribery charges, the latest blow to a city still reeling from the collapse of the U.S. auto industry and the jailing of its former mayor. ..Conyers himself is avoiding ethics charges . Sending his kids to private schools which is more than his income . Using his staff as baby sitters on tax payers expense

[matrxmax]

Ivey league Republicans are on this one-world globalist utopia too; This is what the new world order is. Why do you think they have been turning a blind eye to illegal immigration ?

[Jesse859]

@matrxmax I agree - George W. Bush and John McCain are both globalists by the way. But I also think it is obvious that the Democrates are pushing for it a lot more aggressively.

[jscottupton]

When I was young a tape like this would have destroyed a congressman's career. Now these collectivists have no shame.

[61pickgun]

Thank god for the sickle cell....

[jscottupton]

@61pickgun You are part of the problem...not part of the solution with a comment like that.

[MrSuperpat]

Imagine if George Washington was being debriefed by intelligence with this surveilence video of this sitting congressman in the enemy camp.

[margiememargie]

If you do not like the Republic of the United States, move to another Country.

[NCMan28025]

Progressives=Socialists. Progressivism=Socialism. We need to start calling them what they are. The Socialist Progressive Democrats.
