Daniel Hannan: Lessons Of The American Revolution pt.1

[alsdaftable]

normally I can't stand Daniel Hannan... he's a rich elitist, on the far right of the Tory party... but that wasn't a bad speech, if a touch disillusioned.

What is it about the far right that can't grasp the concept that healthcare, schools, police forces and firefighters are there to help people not to control them

[TheBearnuts]

Mr. Hannan, Please come to the United States. We could use a real intellectual like you.

P.S. you are a fucking badass

Modern day Cicero.

i knew it was sarcasm, but it's sickening.

socialism had existed for more than 13 years in england...Clement Attlee ring a bell?

the de-socialization of europe has led exactly where neo-liberalism always leads-- a capitalist market crisis.

have you not read about the european debt crisis?

[Thatcheriteme]

@AlemanJuan 1. I dont need to read up on the European debt crisis, Im LIVING it.

2. I said 13 yrs because it was the longest stint a socialist government has had. Normally they get kicked out after the first term (Harold Wilson and James Callaghan ring a bell?)

3. Capitalist market crisis???? You`ll find we had only two banks needed bailing out and the cost amounted to a 5th of our debt. Britian was 1.2 Trillion in debt before the debt crisis, thanks to Browns `Tax a little, spend alot.

[AlemanJuan]

@Thatcheriteme exactly, british banks are feeding off the likes of ireland and portugal. give me a break, you're living it? you're probably making money from it.

[Thatcheriteme]

@AlemanJuan Ireland is under virtual control of the IMF, and Portugal is 300% of its GDP in debt. It was their governments that spent that money, not Barclay's or Lloyd`s. And its the Chinese and the market in general that the monies is owed to.

Yes, living with it. I was made redundant due to public spending cuts to even the countries budget, as Gordon Brown (Socialist) almost bankrupted the country. VAT has gone up and petrol (sorry GAS) is 6 pounds a gallon or 10 dollars.

[CRTV1982]

@AlemanJuan Dude, did someone hit you upside the head with a lead pipe? Socialism envitably fails, it has always been that way. Capitalism fails only when people get complacent and start forcing socialist policies on the free market and thus turn it socialist. I have read on the debt crisis, France, Greece, the UK, and the rest of the EU can no longer afford the socialist policies which require huge amounts of cash to maintain which requires business to pay crushing taxes.

[AlemanJuan]

@CRTV1982 fuck. you.

[CRTV1982]

@AlemanJuan Ah, did I strike a nerve?

[daPlumber702]

@AlemanJuan The European debt crisis has come because capitalist systems provided the eu nations with enough capital to afford their socialist wants.. But capital only lasts so long when you piss it away.

Read a book.

[AlemanJuan]

torys are dishonest-republicans are just stupid.

this man seems to demonstrate a knowledge of critical social theory, but uses it to reinforce a neoliberal world view... that is cognitive dissonance.

oh, and he referred to his constituents as "wild life."

[Thatcheriteme]

@AlemanJuan Their some big words you have used there, as if to make your point more creditable. I recommend you pull yourself away from that left wing student bubble that you live in, and come visit Britain. You`ll see what 13 yr of socialism has done. No, fuck it! Stay in the US with Obama. Like Alice looking down the rabbit hole you can start from the beginning of the socialist journey.

I am constituent of his, and the `wild life` jibe was purely sarcasm, of how most politicians see us.

[CRTV1982]

@Thatcheriteme No, get Obama out of office. We are tired of the socialist policies that are wrecking our economy too. That guy likes socialism then he needs to move to China.

[ShaktipatSeer]

It takes a Brit to speak truths which go beyond right and left.. oh how far we have wandered from the path..

[Steadno]

Who is Crispus Attucks????

[Leobons]

F... the EU! Stop using the "Ode to Joy"!

[biped19]

I will not fault the British guy for not understanding what really motivated the pilgrims to leave England. It was NOT religious freedom incidentally.

[Leobons]

@biped19 he said this was one of the factors. I've been following Hannan and I tell you that he has a great knowledge of history

[Travinyle1]

nice

[gwizzle1]

Propaganda

the Constitution took 12 years of politics to create and you better believe the british had a hand in it.

It undermined the Decleration of Independence from the King of England

Don't believe this red coat,he has total and complete loyalty to the Queen of England.

He is laughing at these people on the inside as he feeds their egos

[Thatcheriteme]

@gwizzle1 Hold on a minute, sunbeam!

His loyalty to the Queen is like that of any other British subject. His fondness for the US, is because one time British values have flourished in the US, states rights, individual freedom etc. So yes i guess we did have a hand in it. But we had a hand in the birth of the internet, so are you going to abandon that too?

Who is to say he is laughing at them? I could say that you have sex with goats, but i, like yourself are only speculating.

[jstncbllr]

What's with the mincing tosser?

[shamusername]

11:40 "They never saw themselves as Revolutionaries" – baloney.

[WatchRyder]

@shamusername

They were just humble militia fighting the forces of the world...

[shamusername]

A lot of the things he talks about supposedly making the USA unique also apply to Switzerland…

[YesWeCantaloupe]

@shamusername Boo. The the socialist eugenics capital of the world.

[shamusername]

@YesWeCantaloupe Let me guess: You are an Alex Jones sycophant.

[YesWeCantaloupe]

@shamusername No. I read history. Switzerland was practicing eugenics before and after WWII, and they're going bankrupt from their own bloated social security system.

[shamusername]

@YesWeCantaloupe LOL @ the blatant lie that Switzerland has a "bloated social security system".

[YesWeCantaloupe]

@shamusername The SS in Switzerland is unsustainable. Government can give you everything, and it can also take it away.

[ThePoliticalPugilist]

one of my favorite brits.

[TheAnubisDrake]

I like where this Brit is going with this. I hope he is going to tell those people in the room to wake the hell up and realize that our rights are being taken and POWER IS NOW CENTRALIZED far to much for the good of the people.

[treon123456]

AMERICA IS GREAT...") NO MATTER HOW HARD THE ELITES ATTACK US...IT'S TIME TO FIGHT BACK! WE ARE THE LAST BASTION OF FREEDOM...AND WE ARE THE MAIN TARGET OF THE GLOBALISTS...

[TheAnubisDrake]

MoxNews iz the bizness.

[waltermh111]

Boring suckup. Anybody have highlights?

[RonPaulSwede]

Hannan, where have you been?!? EU right...-_-.

[zacmondejar]

Im the first comment, and my country, the usa, is the first to bomb all who resist.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@zacmondejar Yeah! We're gonna free the SHIT outta you's!
