Who Killed The Constitution (1 of 5) Tom Woods

[weho1]

"There is no other aspect of life where someone signed a document and your stuck with it" Really? Does that mean I can drive through school zones at 90 miles and hour and run stop signs? This guy is an idiot! Apparently he doesn't understand the basic foudations of why people create Government in the 1st. place to promote the common good.

[jddrafts]

@weho1 Im pretty sure when I got my drivers license I agreed to obey traffic laws and signed documents to that affect. On the other hand I never swore an oath of loyalty to the United States and singed documents to that affect until i joined the military.

[weho1]

@jddrafts Agreed, note the1st sentence in my previous comment in "quotation marks" is a Quote taken directly from Mr. Woods which I used as just one example to illustrate the many factually incorrect contradictory statements Mr. Woods makes on this post.

[KayBeeEee1983]

The southern states have been trying to kill the constitution since 1828.

[longfootbuddy]

the constitution, along with the federal government it created, should both be dead...its time we return the country to a land of freedom from tyrant governments...enough with this democracy worship and pretending we get freedom from this document

[IslandersMets10]

Who killed the constitution....Answer.....Abe Lincoln...

Deo Vindice

[12FlyMe]

@IslandersMets10 You stupid shit, the Scum sucking pigs of the South had violently and systematically made free speech, free press, and freedom of religion a crime. Did you know that you stupid fuck?

In fact, the Southern scum had shit all over EVERY part of the Constitutiion -- free speech, no cruel punishment, they stopped real elections, the invaded other lands and shit on states rights.

Go learn what really happened you mindless fucking sheep.

[FarceTax]

The South tried for 50 years to kill the US Constitution, by violence, threats, killing, by stopping free speech and press from 1820 on, by torture, by fire,by war, by lies.

In the end -- they were pussies. They could torture women and molest chldren just fine-- but like pussies everywhere, they ran when faced with real men.

Learn the real history of the Nazi like South from 1820-1860. Unless you know this history, you don't know shit

[petmensan]

@FarceTax I think you are confusing the south for the north and Abe Lincoln. Maybe you should watch some more Tom Woods videos.

[12FlyMe]

@petmensan Woods is a lunatic you dumb fuck. The South stopped free speech and press from 1820 on. Did you know that? Fuck no. Slavers took over the state governments in the South and stopped free speech. Stopped free press, and even told religions what they could preach.

Learn history of slave power from 1820-1860. Learn about the laws to TORTURE men who dared to own the wrong book.

If you don't know this already, you are a dumb fuck, and don't know shit.

[petmensan]

@12FlyMe I think you have some issues, does it really matter when and how America stopped being a free country with limited government, what really matters is trying to bring more freedom to America today, perhaps that is something you can agree on. No one wants to have a discussion with someone that just cast dispersions, it is better to recmend another source of information for people to look into. Try to calm down a little bit.

[12FlyMe]

@petmensan Lincoln stood up to the Nazi like South -- not over slavery. LIncoln had no way to stop slavery. LIncolnstood up the South because they were using violence to SPREAD slavery. The Civil War was really the ongoing violent effort by slave owners -- from 1820 on -- to terrorize and kill the US Constitution and the idea of consent of governed, free speech, and free press.

Presidents BEFORE lincoln should have kicked the pussy SOuth's ass

[petmensan]

@12FlyMe Wow, so much hate. So are you a fan of Glenn Beck then? There is a really good book at Mises.org called Reassessing the Presidency, maybe you should read it. Whatever the south may have done, attacking them for secession has not helped the cause of freedom. Murray Rothbard has a great series called Conceived in Liberty, it is four volumes and covers much of the history of america. Do you really think we have a free country now?

[12FlyMe]

Pet, From what I saw from Mises org, they are smart, but lunatics and liars.

What fucking part of this don't you grasp retard? LIncoln didn't attack them for secession. He fought back when they 1) attacked 12 (not just one) forts. 2) Threatened the US Capital 3) Killed voters 4) plundered the seas 5) invaded Kansas and Missouri to kill and terrorize 5) Stop freedom of speech and press for 40 years. 6) Stop freedom of religion for 4 years.

That was BESIDES slavery

[12FlyMe]

@petmensan If Mises.org did not tell you dumb fucks that the Slavers took over the South from 1820 on, stopped free speech, stopped free press, stopped freedom of religion, and stopped real elections -- then they didn't tell you shit. And you don't know shit.

Unless you understand that the South had violently shit on every Constitutional right -- free speech, free press, no cruel punishments, real elections, free religion -- then you don't know shit.

And my guess is, you don't know shit

[12FlyMe]

@petmensan Lets see what the South did --- you stupid fuck. They stopped free speech from1820 on. They stopped free press from 1820 on. They stopped real elections from 1820 on. The tortured men for owning the wrong book. They searched ships, mails, men, travelers. They told religions what they could preach.

And that was BESIDES slavery you dumb fuck. They also made war on the territories, sending thousands of killers and thugs.

And that was BESIDES slavery you dumb fuck.

[jpschubbs]

@12FlyMe ...you dumb fuck. Any other words in your vocabulary?

[12FlyMe]

@jpschubbs No that's about it. BUt those two come in real handy talking to dumb fucks.

[jpschubbs]

@12FlyMe You're a class act.

[12FlyMe]

@jpschubbs Do yourself a favor. Don't worry about how classy I am, instead, learn the truth about Lincoln.

Read his full quotes, retard. Not the slivers of shit you fucktards have shoved up each other's ass for 100 years. You pussies run from Lincoln today, like you ran from Sherman then.

Go read where Lincoln said slave owners should be kicked to death, and that blacks were equal to ANY man, in all the rights in the Delcaration of Independence.

[RPenta]

@12FlyMe Slavery was a brutal evil; Lincoln and Sherman were still war criminals; two wrongs do not make a right-guess Lincoln forgot that.

By the way, man, you are a low class act.

[12FlyMe]

@jpschubbs Does your dumb ass know who Frederick Douglass was? Do you know what he said about Lincoln, you stupid shit?

He was there. He had been a slave. He knew the scum sucking pigs like you, in the North. And he knew the scum sucking pigs in the South. He knew Lincoln had to hold one group in a head lock, while he kicked the living shit out of the other group.

Go fucking read what Frederick Douglass said about Lincoln, retard. Douglass would know. Go fucking read him.

[12FlyMe]

@jpschubbs Go learn what Douglass said about Lincoln. Learn his reasoning, which he articulates.

Then, if you can refute Frederick Douglass' observations, fine. My guess is, on the best day you ever lived, you could not even FIND what Douglass said. If you got someone else to find it, you would not have a clue what he was talking about.

[12FlyMe]

@petmensan Im aware of Mises von shit heads, they miss virtually everything.

They missed the Southern Ultimatums to spread slavery -- AGAINST the will of the states. They missed the violent torture of women and children, by men like Lee and Davis. They missed the cowardice of Southern leaders.  When they get their facts anywhere near straight, let them try again.

[SantaSyndrome]

@petmensan FarceTax is just 1 of 30 + sock accounts used by youtube's biggest troll.His main account is RonPaulHatesBlacks.He is also trolling this video with the account 12FlyMe.

[petmensan]

@SantaSyndrome Nice, I was wondering why I was getting attacked by two seperate stupid people, he must have a lot of time on his hands.

[SantaSyndrome]

@petmensan Yup.He literally is never offline.He trolls 24/7 365.It doesn't seem possible,but apparently it is.

[jpschubbs]

@SantaSyndrome Boy, no kidding. This guy is a retard.

[12FlyMe]

@petmensan Sorry dumb ass, I know the real history of the south -- got it FROM the south.

Got it FROM their own newspapers, their own books, their own speeches, AT THE TIME.

GOt that? The leaders were scum sucking pigs. Learn real history of these fucktards -- most of whom were personal cowards. Lee, and Davis, for example, were two of the biggest personal cowards in US history.

YOu have been fed horse shit.

[Luigi84289]

What the draft does is allow for what we have now. Global presence in countries we shouldn't be in. All of our children being stolen away and sent of to get killed to enrich the elite.

[Luigi84289]

My biggest complaint is the draft. it's slavery. It makes us a servant to federal whim. We need a return to state militias. Let voluntarism come back. If there is a real threat Americans aren't going to lie down and let someone destroy us. We didn't in WW2 didn't need a draft. People's safety comes first you don't need someone to force you to fight for them to go to battle against a threat.

[12FlyMe]

@Luigi84289 You are one dumb fuck. We had a massive draft in ww2 retard.

There is no draft now you dumb fuck. Your idiotic post implies we HAVE a draft now -- but we didn't in WW2.

How stupid can you fucking get, and still shit out of your ass? I mean, you are too stupid to shit.

[SantaSyndrome]

@Luigi84289 FarceTax, 12FlyMe are just 2 of 30 + sock accounts used by youtube's biggest troll.His main account is RonPaulHatesBlacks.

[Luigi84289]

I've never understood why people support public education. You really want a small group of people deciding what you're children learn? It's completely ludicrous. And what's worse is they aren't even consistent what I learned and the impressions I was given are completely different than my father or grandfather.

[doughtymqan]

When private citizens ask "what has the Constitution to do with me" they are asking a valid question. It has nothing to do with me. It exists to limit the federal government, not the people.

[migkillertwo]

"cuz now I have to explain an accessory-after-the-fact" HAHAHAHA!

[ThePenWolf]

The fundamental problem with the US Constitution is that there is nothing in there that makes people who are supposed to enforce it accountable when they don't. Elections simply aren't good enough. Nobody is arrested for violating the Constitution. They're arrested and prosecuted if they commit a robbery or some other felony, but when they submit these "stimulus" bills and "health care reform" bills to Congress, nobody charges them with anything. That is the problem.

[YNOT100026]

ThePenWolf, The fundamental problem with the US constitution is it was written to help prevent tyranny and oppression when followed. The government has not followed it and tyranny is the future if our representatives continue to ignore it. Ignored by government officials who have taken a oath to uphold it! that's treason, but they skip around knowing the american people are asleep and don't care about the founding documents of this country.I CAN'T BELIEVE THE COMPLACENCY.

[ThePenWolf]

Well, when the average citizen sees a robbery in progress, what does he do? Nothing. He might call for help, but not until after the robbery has taken place, and even then there's a good chance he might not. That's not necessarily complacency, that's a cultural belief that he's not supposed to do anything because he'd only get in the way. The problem is that there is nobody holding Congress or anyone in the fed gov accountable to the Constitution by pain of prosecution and imprisonment.

[ThePenWolf]

The Constitution is just a piece of paper. In it there is nothing in there that says "If you violate anything in here you go to prison at hard labor" or anything. There ought to be. I suggest that if anyone submits a bill before the Congress that is a violation of what is stated in the Constitution, that is a felony offense and is worthy of 100 years at hard labor in a Supermax facility. Any attorney general should be able to file charges for such things and prosecute.

[Luigi84289]

@ThePenWolf It's our job to protect our freedom. We let the federal government do everything they do. What's worse is that some people like being servants/slaves. They would even give up their ability to protect themselves and put the federals in line like we have needed to do forever but have been complacent and dumb. We need a revolution. Jefferson was right. Every generation needs a good revolution and not necessarily a violent one. We need to live the way we see fit.

[Luigi84289]

@Luigi84289 If we all just stood up and said NO and were serious the government would have to listen. They can't control all of us. They can only do what we let them.

[12FlyMe]

@Luigi84289 We had revolutions against oppressors. The South lost -- the slavers lost. Those who shit on US Constitution from 1820 on - who stopped free speech in the South, who enslaved millions, who waged war in Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico to spread their religious crazy shit about God telling them to enslave -- those fucking crazy bastards lost.

THey ran away, their soldiers ended up deserting, their leaders ran like pussies.

[manoman0]

@ThePenWolf - just wait long enough....lol

[llandshark]

How do I get the Book?

I have a bookstore...

peace

[TheFreethinker71]

"ALL the cool countries are doing it!" - LOL!!

[knucklesandwichanarc]

Thomas Woods can fill an entire chapter of the book Soley's book, "Leasing the Ivory Tower: The Corporate Takeover of Academia".

Corporate fat cats just love the guy.

[jcreeves]

...which corporations are taking over academia?

[rationalCrash]

that's pretty obviously BS. Where is your evidence for such a claim. The uber-liberls have taken over academia, not the corporations.

[knucklesandwichanarc]

Is that you Glen Beck? Or is it O'Reilly. They say that crap over and over and over about academia being liberal. Most of academia is neo-liberal. Especially economics and management departments. Neoliberalism is very compatible with your form of conservatism. Look it up. Look up the book I discuss above on amazon. I don't have time to list the corporations that fund, FOR BETTER AND WORSE, academic research. I know plenty of conservative academics like John Lewis Gaddis and Victor D. Hansen.

[rationalCrash]

funding research is not "taking over" academia. Let me clarify my comment, when I say taking over (and I shouldn't have, it's misleading), I mean that there is a big bias toward professors being politically liberal (not actually liberal which is about freedom).

[knucklesandwichanarc]

This myth of a purely liberal academia is in long need of a vacation. Academics are so mixed and dived it's crazy. And it's actually a very good thing too. As it stands, college professors aren't nearly as influential as the mass/corporate media. Many people I knew in college were barely even affected by both liberal and conservative professors I had. They mainly kept their family values from home. Sometimes for worse. Sit down and meditate on what I have written. I'm not out to insult you.

[rationalCrash]

I used to think it was more even then I watched the P&T Bullshit episode on colleges (i think it's that one). They found out that >90% of professors self-describe as liberals. That isn't a mixed bag. My experience and most of my friends experience coincided with the P&T info also. I'd way prefer to have it mixed. If you have data pointing that way, give me the links please.

[shumich]

I still want to punch Uncle "Tom" Woods in the face. Fuck him and his white backlash politics. Who killed the Constitution? The big businesses that Woods makes innumerable excuses for. Woods blinds people to the fact that big government was bought out by big business long ago. Fuck you Thomas Woods. You are not subversive. You are the propagandist. Capitalism is failing again you asshole. And workers are sick of the government taking the sides of business at the expense of the people.

[LibertyWins2012]

Yes, this is all a failure of "capitalism." Um, except "capitalism" doesn't bail out banks and business firms. It doesn't (because it can't) create credit out of thin air and start up the business cycle. It doesn't give businesses implicit bailout guarantees the way the Fed does. But you go on believing your cute little story in which "capitalism" is to blame, when we have the exact opposite.

[shumich]

You're damn right it's a failure of "consumer capitalism". Do you know what consumer capitalism is? It's not just an economic phenomenon. It's a peculiarly social and cultural phenomenon unique to post WWII America.

The US went from the largest CREDITOR nation right after WWII to the largest DEBTOR nation in history. The average American has twice the debt of his European counterpart. And the largest capitalist nation in history, the US, has the largest trade deficit in history to Red China.

[LibertyWins2012]

Man, shumich, is there any cliche you don't dutifully repeat? The credit and banking system in the U.S. is about as far from a free market as you can possibly get, beginning with the government-created Federal Reserve, which is an INTERVENTION into the market, at the top, and continuing down to the government-regulated, government-guaranteed commercial banks. This sounds free market to you, huh? Interesting.

[shumich]

Mike Huckabee has recently noted that there are 70 corporate lobbyists per Congress member in DC. Big business buying out big government long ago isn't "free market capitalism". Then, when big business fucks up, they get big government to grant them even more privileges and bail them out. Nonetheless, big business always has more powers over our daily lives than big government if only because big business finances campaigns and is the dominant institution of our time.

[shumich]

You're the one full of corporate cliches. What I'm tired of is big business interfering in my government. My government provides services like policing, libraries, road construction, public parks, prisons, war, the military, and other collectively owned services. When these are privatized, or interfered with by assholes who want to make cash, great social injustices occur. Big business has been bought off big government long ago. You're foolish to believe that the two don't get along.

[LibertyWins2012]

Your government sure does provide "services" like war. What a brainwashed clown. Your government kills maybe a million people on an obviously phony pretext, hands you a bill for trillions of dollars, and you consider that a wonderful "service"? When did Wal-Mart ever do that to you, you brainwashed clown?

[shumich]

What makes you think for one second that I support the Iraq War? Or the Vietnam War? And it was US citizens, sent over by the government who did that.

My government (not the government which is owned by corporate America) enacted Civil Rights legislation when law was needed to change social inequalities. It's too bad it was never fully enacted. You say you want a revolution. Then shut the fuck up with your corporate sponsored belief that all government is bad.

[shumich]

Wal-Mart, have you ever looked at the symbols and encoded messages in Wal-Mart. Perhaps you don't have the CULTURAL CAPITAL (google that concept) to understand that Wal-Mart conveys a message of jingoism and mindless, mass consumption. I hope your smarter than that.

Ad hominem is immature. My local Wal-Mart got a $4,000,000 grant to locate its store on undeveloped land. And I pay for the health care of its uninsured workers. People who get the ACCESS card because of Wal-Mart.

[Chainedorlo]

Wars are public goods?

[knucklesandwichanarc]

Oh no, another person who talks about the dreaded "public goods". I never once talked about "public goods" or "public good" in my life. You're putting words in my mouth. Wars can serve the country as a whole well actually. WWII?

The so called "Right" in the US claims that the "Left" are the only ones who talk about the "public good". I've heard O'Reilly and Limbaugh cry and complain about it.

Yet there the very same ones who claim that giving the rich tax breaks will serve all of society.

[Chainedorlo]

I think what you're implying is that World War Two got the country of the "Depression." Higgs, Richard Vedder, and Lowell Gallaway don't think that at all, and they're right. Is creating war materials, sending men off the get slaughtered in a foreign war, price controls and rationing,and poor quality housing considered a good thing?

Are you implying that I'm a right-winger?( mainstream version)

[knucklesandwichanarc]

I thought you were some kind of right winger. The truth is that I can analyze events through both sides of the political spectrum. On any given day, I could go from being radical, to liberal, to conservative, to reactionary. It all depends on what I think about power and human nature.

What I'm sick of is all the lies told by business and the stooges they buy out in Washington. I'm here to wake people up to the fact that big business and big gov. threaten our personal liberties on a daily basis.

[Chainedorlo]

Due yourself a favor and learn that the modern political spectrum is quite meaningless and fallacious. Be devoid of this name calling; it doesn't make you more "political, intelligent," or whatnot.

[knucklesandwichanarc]

The political spectrum is better than concepts like "good" and "evil" and "moral" and "immoral". And the concepts in the political spectrum guided the writings of the Founding Fathers of the USA, as well as great philosophers like David Hume. It's a way of keeping things simple. Of course, the idea of "left" and "right" has matured throughout the ages.

It has helped me to question my beliefs and values. Its also taught me to respect the beliefs of others more conservative and liberal

Of course

[girlphriend]

the founding fathers were rich white land/slave owners who wanted to stay that way. King George fincanced boths sides of the war. just like the civil war wasnt really about slavery. if it was why were there more antiblack laws in the north at the time? no it was economic EVERY war has been from the beginning. Puts us further in debt to international banks, keeps taxes high, (well actually interest on the illegal fed does that too) right left, they dont care as long as their game keeps going

[asierra1492]

Its true that the civil war wasnt about slavery, it was about increasing centralized power in the federal government. But to say the founding fathers "wanted to stay that way" why the hell did they write a pro individual liberty constitution.

[girlphriend]

hey i dont mean to say they were all evil old men trying to keep everyone else down. they were just people trying to protect what they felt needed protection, and over time (even Jefferson warned against letting a government go too long without revising it. he actually used the word revolution) these institutions became corrupted by those that saw this need for protection as a way to have power. you cant just walk in and take away rights, and slowly the "new world" is spreading to a "NWO"...

[panterastang]

The historical fact is that slavery was not the product of, nor was it an evil introduced by the Founders; slavery was introduced in America nearly two centuries before the Founders. In fact, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay noted that there had been few serious efforts to dismantle the institution of slavery prior to the Founding Fathers.

The majority of the founding fathers actually were against slavery and founded some of the most anti slavery movements in the country at the time.

[panterastang]

so yes, some did own slaves, careful though this argument is often used by big governemnt supporters to discredit the foundation of freedom in this country. I agree with everything else you said btw.

[girlphriend]

oh i know they didnt introduce it :-) slavery goes back to the begining of "civilization" probably...

[guruless12]

Thanks youtube, and thanks to the people that are uploading. Because of you I can reach to so many bright people like Tom Woods, Peter Schiff, Ron Paul etc. THANK YOU

[LordVigeous666999]

I second that, and Tom Woods is hilarious too

[shumich]

I'd love to punch Tom Woods in the face. He believes in the Hamiltonian version of the constitution. Not the Jeffersonian. Jefferson warned of an "aristocracy of manufacturers", which Woodsie the owl here worships.

[LordVigeous666999]

how do you correct that? The, "aristocracy of manufacturers" thing.

It would seem to me, you get an upper class somewhere, its either the industrialists, or its the politicians. And I trust the industrialists a lot more than the politicians

[shumich]

I'd recommend not trusting either of them. Do you vote for your "industrialists"? No, they're not accountable to you at the voting booth. And don't go giving theocratic powers to the "invisible hand" of the free-market. That's hardcore reductionism.

Can you pass out political literature at your local mall? Heck no, that's private property. Could you pass out political literature downtown, in front of your local businesses? Heck yea, that's public property. Just like the library OOO...Socialism.

[LordVigeous666999]

I vote for my industrialists everyday.

Every day I go to work.

Every time I buy a shaving kit

Every time I buy my food

Every time I buy a computer

I vote for my Industrialists everyday, and unlike the politician, they can't run a campaign, get my vote once, and be secure to do whatever they like for the next 4 years. My industrialists must continue to win my vote everyday, because I cast my vote everyday

[vortmax1]

good answer

[LordVigeous666999]

Why should a private owner have to lend his property to further a cause he doesn't believe in?

How about you donate $500 every year to furthering a political cause that is directly opposed to what you believe in, and then tell me again why a private owner should have to further YOUR cause

[shumich]

"How do you correct that? The, "aristocracy of manufacturers" thing."

Well now, that's a good question. Let's have the workers of those factories go on strike because their employers have been treating them like shit just to make a few extra bucks. Now, let's not let the state (police, politicians) interfere in the squabble. The American Auto Workers can then take over the factories and make GOOD cars that other Americans actually want to drive. They could vote online for the car they want!!

[LordVigeous666999]

Yeah, you could do that, and I would have no problem.

All I would say, is after that, lets have the Industrialists go on Strike for 2 years, and find out who needs who.

Find out who is treated like shit, and who is given un-earned rewards. You think you can run a factory by majority vote?

Well then, how about you and your worker brothers, buy up a factory, and try it. See if you can out compete the people you hate, and lets find out where Americans vote with their money

[shumich]

Oh, that would be awesome. I would love to see those dandy wall street folks, with their pretty little hands and manicures, actually have to go to work in a factory or farm. Let's get Bushie too. Hell, Mao may have sucked but he did put useless gamblers who exploit people to work. We don't have to go that far. Let them try to move their factories overseas. The workers won't let them someday. Just as long as the pussy liberals get out of the way. Trying to give $ to placate class conflict.

[LordVigeous666999]

The workers won't let them? How do they plan to stop them? With guns? Good thing we're not degenerating into a society of thugs

And as far as making them work on farms. Because that is what I want, to take a person that runs a company that produces farm equipment, that makes feeding 100 million people possible, working as a farm hand. That is an excellent use of their mind.

Under that scenario, who do you think suffers most? And who dies of starvation?

[shumich]

In your words my friend, "a person that runs a company that produces farm equipment, that makes feeding 100 million people possible"

Believe it or not, just about any assclown can run a company. There's not much to it. Yes, I'd love to see Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, and a host of other "arm chair tough guys" go out an do some manual labor to support their livelihood. And send them to war after that. Chicken hawk cowards. That's one place I haven't been. I've been to college, prison etc.

[LibertyWins2012]

You're a laugh riot, shumich. If "any assclown" can run a company, why aren't you doing it? If any old arbitrary business decision is as good as any other, then why don't you start a business and do it?

[LordVigeous666999]

I second LibertyWins, if it is so easy, how come you're not doing it? You defiantly have a high score on the "Assclown" qualification. And if that is the measure, you're a shoe in.

So how come you're not out there crushing your competition and making millions supplying me with all sorts of neat stuff?

Oh yeah, you don't know how to run a company, you don't know what your fellow citizens want, and you are too much of a coward to take any risks finding out

[LordVigeous666999]

and the chicken hawk comments. I am so tired of those, its not even an argument, it is a way of silencing debate on issues.

I mean, a very small percent of people in this country go into the military, and they are the only ones allowed to talk about it? Why not just say what you're thinking, "lets disband the military, and never talk about war ever again."

Oh yeah, if you said that, people would recognize you as the insane "assclown" that you are, get stuffed

[shumich]

The Chickenhawk critique is always going to be there. Especial when those who are cheerleaders for war never even put in a hard days work in their lives. Look up the story of Karl Rove. Draft dodger and chickenhawk par excellence. And he never completed his college education because he was busy campaigning for the Republicans. Nevermind that he lied about his dropping out of college on his fourth deferment. That's the kind of hypocrisy that makes me want to slam people's faces into brick walls.

[LordVigeous666999]

dude, I'm not going to defend the draft, I support a volunteer military, which is what we have currently

And besides, how would you handle Iraq? Remember, we went to war with them, Saddam signed a peace treaty with us via UN, and then proceeded to violate almost every provision of the treaty

That means we're at war. If a country violates the terms of a peace treaty, that is the same as declaring war

so again, how would you handle it? a country violates a peace treaty with you, what do you do?

[shumich]

Oooops. Sorry bout that. I probably confused you there. I went way out into "left field". Then again, there's some reactionary philosophy in my suppressed premises.

Study some history closely my friend. The industrialist class and the political class are often one and the same (Bush, Cheney, Kennedy). Big business bought out big gov. long ago. They're so in bed together they should be gay married. The belief they don't get along is in need of a long vacation. It's mythological and ideological

[LordVigeous666999]

true, but only because We The People believe in government handing out favors to certain groups.

Be honest, people are only mad about it, because the government is showing favor towards a group that is not themselves. If the government was showing them those favors, they'd have no problem with it.

And that is the door We The People let be opened, and we'll have that problem until The People close it.

Have you ever heard of the book, "An Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution" by Charles Beard?

The US Constitution has mostly worked in the favor of White, Anglo-Saxon, male property holders. If you were black, female, or hell even a little bit ethnic (Polish, Jewish, Italian workers/strikers) there wasn't a judge in the land that would interpret the constitution. to your favor.

Luckily, people like Jackson and Lincoln came along to extend the franchise to others.

The Progressive's killed the constitution. It didn't jibe with one-world communist government. Just look at what John Dewey said, or the progressive's in Amity Shlae's book The Forgotten Man.

Wasn't it Lincoln?

So maybe the question is: Can one have one's Liberty and maintain it at the same time?????

Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first. Then share and prepare.

Tom. RUN for public office!!!!!!!

[vortmax1]

I second that

[coturnix19]

@manofreedom duh! those anarchists should never run for pubic orifice, it defies their ideology

[LemurOfMercy]

@coturnix19 Only if you think that anarchists are a bunch of kids burning cars after football games. Otherwise, limiting government in any way possible certainly includes using government as a means.

His intro is long and boring to me, including the 5 year old stuff. But he is not proving anything by the personal reference; he is just making an introduction, for crying out loud! The term "friggen" in you response is more out of place than his personal reference.

[DD826]

screw you

[DD826]

Drives me nuts, when people use their kids to support the positions.

Who friggen cares what a 5 year old said, or what someone CLAIMS their kids said?

Just state your position and don't use your kids to prop you up.

Um, it was a JOKE, Mr. Brain. This is an informal talk to a bunch of students, so it's full of jokes. If you don't think the joke is funny, who cares? You think anyone on YouTube cares about your sense of humor?

[cycimian]

I wish more kids would be asking the hard questions in school like this. For some reason the constitution is low in priority but they enforce you must vote to be heard as if the RepublaDemz or Ziocon muppets give a dam about you in anyway other then your blind devotion to be led like sheep.

[drsanity]

Tom Woods is awesome.

[cambo61]

Tom Woods rules. I may not agree with everything he says, but he's brilliant and has helped give focus to my ideas.

He's entertaining too! Why can't Tom replace Hannity?
