  • Ronald Reagan acted through 8 years of being President. Told what to say most times- another acting gig for the gipper. Look at his style, head just right, empahsis on the right word! The man who played President.

  • @Cerl84 How right you are. The strength of President Reagan's administration is the way he ran it like a business. Got the best and the brightest minds together, and brought us out of the malaise darkness of the Carter administration. Reagan knew that one person alone is not as strong as a team.

    Indeed a great presider over our nation, not an authoritarian like we have now. We in 2012 are now lead by the weakest administration yet, filled with misfits and marxists...Obamas buddies.

  • Reagan, deserves more respect then is!

    This video is pathetic and his no reason

  • Great words to live by!

  • Please I would like to know the song played in the clip

  • @Joann76212

    The Music is "Absolute Truth" by Debbie Wiseman, it was written as the soundtrack for a BBC documentary.

  • @FranklyMisterShankly Not to mention that the Soviets didn't 'invade' Afghanistan but had been begged by the socialist government of Afghanistan to send troops to help stamp out a radical Islamic insurgency. The fundamentalist Muslims were angry because the socialist government was sending women to school and banning the veil. The response of the Islamic fundies to female education? Bombing schools and acid attacks. If you think backwards Islamic fundies were the heroes I don't know why.

  • @djflargo Is Obama a Marxist-Leninist, Trotskyist, or Maoist? I support Leninist ideas but I don't think the US has a large enough rural/peasant population for Maoism to be applicable. I've never really read any of Obama's Marxist writings so I've got to remember to look those up.

  • What is the name of the song

  • Three remarkable women who, following the deaths of their husbands, helped enhance the enormous veneration of their spouses' memories are Nancy Reagan, Jacqueline Kennedy and Coretta Scott King. Without the presence and dignity of these three widows at their husbands' funerals and beyond, I doubt that we would have seen such an immediate acceptance of their husbands in America's national pantheon of heroes.

  • What are the odds...? Have you seen this reported anywhere other than alternative media? Have you seen it in the Drive-Bys or the State-Controlled Media?

  • It was a state teacher or state job of some kind. It was not a private sector job. Even at that: $278,000 per job. So they admit up front. Now, they have to do this. You wonder, "Well, why would they admit this?"

    They do it on a Friday, Fourth of July weekend when nobody's paying any attention.

  • ladies and gentlemen, the regime on Friday made a document dump. The Obama regime admitted that the stimulus didn't accomplish anything. They admitted that every job created by the stimulus cost about $278,000, and let's remember that every job created by the stimulus was a government job.

  • Ronald Reagan is an American hero, as evidenced by the enormous national outpouring of affection and respect that accompanied his death.

  • Without the presence and dignity of these three widows at their husbands' funerals and beyond, I doubt that we would have seen such an immediate acceptance of their husbands in America's national pantheon of heroes.

  • @John76Adams Well said sir,.. 

  • peace at all costs is slavery.. Auschwitz is the end result in compliance to tyranny. IT seamed peaceful all the time while the ovens burned. "Work will set you free" is what their sign said. No one was set free. There are times you have to stand against tyranny or die in oppression.

  • @bfrance2002 So true friend. Live free or die is not just a statement it is a fact.

  • Reagan did it

    youtube.com/watch?v=ev18pwAI6N­w&feature=related

  • War does not decide who is right, but who is left.

    There is a religion that preaches that all those oppose it are to die, and those who take on this mission, to carry it out will get the greatest glory on the other side, no matter how many innocent lives are taken in the process. So how do you deal with someone who is ready and willing to die to kill you, even if they have to take out a building full of children to do it.

  • I love this guy so much, view this link--> /watch?v=y3f9mlUQzJA

  • Ronald Regan was the greatest president in USA history. Obama (the MARXIST was the worst)

  • @djflargo Amen!

  • @djflargo You really don't have a clue what a marxist is do you?

    The worst US president by the way was Warren G Harding who appointed the Ohio Gang to cabinet posts who embezzled from the government, had 4 mistresses while in office and was rumored to have been a member of the Klu Klux Klan & was involved in the Teapot Dome Affair.

    James Buchanan is the second worst. Under his watch 7 states succeeded from the union, the economy tanked and the civil war started.

  • @djflargo Your a moron.

  • Egalitarianism, the idea that merit should be totally removed from our economics, or that productiveness as judged by your own customers is not the most important economic merit, is its own evil. I don't care if takes the form of "right" or "left" socialism, whatever the hell that distinction is supposed to refer to. I will take "every man for himself" over "every man for every man but himself" anyday.

  • Reagan was an idiot. He supported the Taliban and now they are fighting us.

  • @KhmerD0g /watch?v=y3f9mlUQzJA

  • @KhmerD0g Reagan was smart, he got the Taliban to fight the Soviet Union, so we didn't have too! No different than FDR getting the Soviets on our side during WW2 to help defeat Germany!

  • @JENDALL714

    Nonsense. The Taliban was fighting invaders and an occupation force--Soviet Union. American just gave the Taliban monies and weapons. Even if there were no American's helps, the Taliban still fight the Soviet on their own. Besides, the Taliban got help from Saudi Arabia, Iran (yes them too), Pakistan and many other Islamic countries who contribute monies, arms and other supplies.

  • @KhmerD0g For fucks sake, how many times do I have to post this?

    The TALIBAN DID NOT EXIST BEFORE 1992! The MUJAHEDDIN AND THE TALIBAN ARE TWO DIFFERENT BODIES!

  • @JENDALL714 learn the history of world war 2 will you , Winston Churchill reached out to josef dughashvilli and allied Britain with soviet russia to defeat hitler and nazi germany NOT fdr!

  • @John76Adams Except National Socialism isn't socialism, it's fascism a system diametrically opposed to socialism, & not all socialism is left nor liberal. There is a reason the terms left & right socialism exist, there is a reason the term authoritarian socialism exists. This is 2011 when the right feels the need to redefine terms for the sake of painting the rightwing in a good light, not caring that all they are doing is making communication more difficult.

  • @John76Adams Excellent post! Right on mark. I would like to help you clear the liberal hate speech from this board. Check back often

  • lets go all the way it is time for us to win. Vice President Howard Taylor and the team will do it .228 369 9612.

  • @the reddog223,

    You are sooo WRONG. Nazism=National SOCIALISM!!! Nazism & Fascism are LEFTIST. Islam IS LEFTIST in that they too are a TYRANNY. And even The Marxist-Stalinist Soviet Union had its "gods"- all the pictures and statues of Lenin and Stalin. Commie China had/has it's adoration of Mao.

  • fascism :

    right-wing nationalist ideology or movement, often racist;

    with an authoritarian and hierarchical structure,

    forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism,

    that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and liberalism.

    = Corporate-Govt.

    [bought right-wing politicians, gaining corporates (socialistic)

    subsidies and taxation preferences for the ruling wealthy class].

  • so enjoy the great things our savior" coke head, street activist" king obama has given you.

    simple ass clown90 yes 90 rounds of golf 7 vacations.......oh yes dont forget his mantra i will not rest till more americans have jobs...............lol....blow here bootlips

  • Ronald Reagan my ass

  • Taliban legislated –‘one religion’s fanaticism’- against the majority:..

    pro-death penalty, anti-drug, anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc.

    = Repub./consrv. - politicians/media whores/relig-hypocrites

    And claim they do not legislate morality

    – do not, do ‘-social engineering’- !!!

    =

    American Taliban Engineering ....

  • Comment removed

  • as much as you warmongers want to believe, war is NOT peace. Please get that through your Orwellian brains. Plus, Reagan was not even talking about terrorism which is a direct consequence of our foreign policy of interventionism of the past 60 years.

  • ...

    Ironically, - the same hYpocrites are using -'anti-sharia fear-factoring'- [red herring] to rile up their low-IQ - sheeple... ? “ do not want their type of law here ” ...

    – which - we already have ! ___ Under the guise of being –‘more moral’- [than the non-God-fearing] - spun by Repub. politicians/media whores/relig-hypocrites..

  • yeah, because Reagan did such a wonderful job with Iran, Iraq, and Bin Laden.

  • Ronald Reagan learned everything he knew about politics from a trained chimp named Bonzo.

  • @Soulvigilante guess we could say something nasty bout you too but we don't. islam isn't just a religion , it's also a political system,which makes it even more dangerous. leave the personal attacks off line.

  • @wjkolka I couldn't agree more that any religion that becomes also a political system is dangerous. I mean, imagine a country where zealotous religious doctrine dictates social policy; where the rights of, say, women and persons of alternative lifestyles are eschewed in favor of quasi-righteous politico-theological posturing...

  • stop with the hate, look for the inspiration. or we're all doomed

  • >Islamic Fascism

    >Islam is a form of Judaism, and an advanced form of Christianity

    >Also, might i add that Ronald Reagan supported the far-right Muslim fundamentalists?

  • It had nothing to do with oil and oil is not upper cased in that context but your the genius

  • @thereddog223

    Wait, nothing to do with oil?

    We're in the Middle East, and it's not because of our need for oil?

    Operation "Just 'Cause" NOTHING TO DO WITH OIL?

    >Oil corporation becomes globalized

    >world economy relies on oil exchange

    >thousands of oil companies

    >Republicans decide that oil is so necessary, they make the top 5 oil companies exempt from taxes and invade other countries for their benefit

    >all other third-party oil companies must struggle to make a living

    the needs of the few.

  • If it was about oil we have oil in the US we could drill here

  • @thereddog223 LOL! War profits ALL privatized corporations, not just oil companies, do you know what Blackwater Worldwide is? Private military group, owned by a buddy of Dubya's.

    War is about increasing profits for the big companies, why don't you see that?

    And there's oil in the US, but not as much as there is in other countries.

    The Bush Administration probably found it easier to convince people to invade another country than it was to persuade them to drill here.

  • There is a lot more in the US then anywhere except Canada 

  • @LeBaronDePropane If he's just a buddy of dubbya's why is it obama still uses blackwater? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mm?

  • @thereddog223 I'm sorry, not exempt, but they do get a huge tax break.

    Btw, why do you keep focusing on only one single statement i make?

    You'll pay attention to one thing that you know something (but very little about) and just pass over the keywords that make you uncomfortable.

    Have you still not looked up fascism in the dictionary? You truly know how to debate! Yes point out that i'm making a fool of myself so i stop making you look like a retard, LOL!

  • @LeBaronDePropane Do you have any idea how many people in america pay no taxes at all? I can guarantee you that those NOT paying taxes certainly aren't rich.

    Can you not fail at some point. I've read about 10 comments from you and each is more illogical than the last.

  • @daPlumber702

    So, 10,000 homeless people not paying taxes is more detrimental than 1 billionare not paying taxes? 10,000 homeless people can't pay taxes. It's not like they're taking advantage of the system...

    Logic is relative my friend, see your logic consists of selfishness, greed, and material advantage.

    My logic isn't.

    Oh btw, point out how i'm "illogical" and i'll correct my "inferior mindset" of social responsibility.

    Don't bother responding if you're not going to address all subjects.

  • Comment removed

  • @LeBaronDePropane Yes 10,000 not working or having somewhere to live would be more detrimental than 1 200,000-aire (we're talking 200,000 here based on what the obama crew has said, not billion get something right please) paying HALF of what he/she made because of those not paying taxes. but not by much. And if you think that everyone not paying taxes is homeless your a twit. Go look up "US Government assistance programs". Then look up "State assistance Programs in america" Look into...

  • @LeBaronDePropane how many people in this country every year live better than most people in the freaking world because half of the country pays their damned taxes.

    Logic is not relative you moron. Logic is fucking factual.

    You can't get simple facts correct. look up the number of actual homeless in this country, then look up the number of people that pay $0 in taxes then look up the number of people making over 200,000 a year then we can start to talk about this shit. til then bmad

  • @daPlumber702

    If you ask me, i've noticed in my area (New Jersey) most homeless people, when asked to come into a homeless shelter, refuse, even in 10 degree weather. I think it's a pride thing, and they don't want to be around other homeless people. A large portion of them are homeless due to Reagan's closing of mental hospitals in the 80's.

    Logic: Noun; Reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity. Principles is the key word.

  • @LeBaronDePropane you're a fucking idiot. That is all.

  • @daPlumber702 You're clearly not mature. You either have no real world experience, haven't opened a dictionary, and you like to be fed your 'facts'. OR you're just arrogant.

    But it's okay to have experience in politics or humanity if you're under the age of 12. I mean, children are innocent, right? You don't need to dirty yourself with the corruption and lies of American politics until you're at LEAST 14.

  • @LeBaronDePropane I've had enough of complete tools like you that feel the only way to live life is to incorporate yourself into some type of borg structure and crush anyone that doesn't have the same numbers you do. You try to use false logic and brainless tactics to get a point across that is nothing but thievery. Fail elsewhere fuckwad.

  • @LeBaronDePropane Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

  • @daPlumber702 No, were you? Do you have an impediment that prevents you from helping those in need, or from even reading books? I don't necessarily care about the methods brought about by improving social equality, just the end goal. If Ronald Reagan was truly out to save the poor and those who are incapable of working, then i would've liked him more. But that's proven wrong, refer to his closing of mental hospitals and causing thousands of mentally challenged people to live on the street.

  • @LeBaronDePropane I don't necessarily care about the methods brought about by improving social equality, just the end goal - therein lies your major malfunction numb nuts.

    You should look up all the facts on that mental hospital shtuff you keep throwing around like it proves your point. You know, like how he allowed Private mental hospitals to open by closing the government funded ones, private facilities that greatly improve the quality of life compared to their public counterparts.

  • @daPlumber702

    A vast majority of homeless people expelled from hospitals in the 80's are still homeless. Privatizing mental hospitals is making it a FOR PROFIT BUSINESS. How can you not see this? For example jails, they're owned by a group of people, and are given money by the state to feed the inmates. The jails then buy $2 for 12 pack ramen noddles, feed that to the inmates, and keep all of the real money for themselves! Private hospitals that can give lobotomies without regulation, cool!

  • @LeBaronDePropane Socialism will always lead to fascism.

  • @nyctoo >Socialism will always lead to fascism

    Okay, so the Iroquois League went from pre-dated (and successful) Communism, straight into Fascism? HAHAHA!

  • @LeBaronDePropane It worked because it wasn't communism, or even socialism. It was large group of loosely governed tribes. Plus they didn't have enough time to evolve. With the amount of information and corruption that can spread so rapidly in modern times, it is best to keep government small, before it gets too big to oppress the people.

  • @nyctoo

    Less evolved?

    LOOSELY GOVERNED?!

    The Iroquois League was an enormous Commonwealth that consisted of representatives from each tribe in the League. The Iroquois Nation had one specific language and currency, and no matter how much an individual worked in a day, they would still share in the bounty of their local community. That is the ideal government (pre-dated, non-industrial Communism). You are nothing more than a disrespectful pig spitting on the graves of the innocent and pure.

  • @LeBaronDePropane Yes, less evolved to modern standards, obviously. I stated my point above. And exactly. Tribes. We don't have tribes consisting of a small group of the population. Get over it bro. Communism/hardline socialism is and will be dead. It doesn't work because of human greed and utter lack of incentive. In a perfect world, sure it could work...but it isn't. At least capitalism makes use of human greed and uses it towards advancement and competition.

  • @nyctoo

    Capitalist system: the minimum wage worker can't afford a new car, TV, or to move his home whenever he pleases.

    Communist system: EXACTLY THE SAME

    Communism doesn't take the property of the working man BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TO BEGIN WITH.

    The only difference is that with Capitalism, there's always that carrot in front of you saying "You could be a millionaire someday in the land of opportunity!" But it's nothing more than a lie. If you are born a peasant, you'll die a peasant.

  • @LeBaronDePropane That isn't true at all. My mother for example was born in a not so wealthy family, and she has worked very hard and makes a very good living now. So i guess that throws your theory out of the window.

    If you are good at something, you invest the hard work, and be genuine, it will pay off eventually.

  • @nyctoo

    Here's a scenario. I'm born to a family (today) of 6 children and my father abandoned me. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment, so we all have to share a bed. If it's hard to get a job in the modern economy, imagine competing against 5 siblings! Then i'll never go to college, because my mother can't pay for college for all of us. Result: minimum wage for the rest of me and my siblings lives.

    Your mother did it 20+ years ago? The times, they are a changin'!

  • @LeBaronDePropane My mom has 3 siblings and her dad died after the last one was born. They had a small house. She studied and got a scholarship, went to college and is now a network engineer at a federally funded agency which supports law enforcement. Hard work will always pay off. Working hard so some lazy sap can mooch off you wont get the economy anywhere.

  • @nyctoo Furthermore, "From each according to his ability," there is no way to guage ability. I have a POS uncle that cried and cried and got on disability for his legs and back, and he fought a 4 wheeler with the money and rides it around everyday. In a perfect world it will work, but as long as there are ways to abuse it, people will..in mass.

  • @nyctoo

    >scholarship

    they're not going to give out a scholarship to everyone who works hard. "Money flows to us, not from us" That's the business motto of every american.

    Your parents probably have paid/are going to pay for your college you hypocrite. You can't pay for college on a minimum wage job, no matter what.

    Did your aunts/uncles get scholarships as well? The answer is probably no.

    I work minimum wage 7 hours a day, don't you dare claim that i'm "mooching" you capitalist pig.

  • @LeBaronDePropane No. I got student loans and used my credit card and paid/paying it off. That's why I have good credit now. It helps when you pay your bills on time and not an idiot with money. I think that's the reason why people like socialism and communism so much perhaps. People are so fucking stupid to take care of the things they need instead of BS that they want like ipods, xbox's and hdtv's...so the government has to step in and fucking feed them.

  • @nyctoo I'm not exactly understanding what you're saying... are you being sarcasting when saying "maybe people like socialism and communism so much"?

    I mean you must be.

    Communist society means utter minimalism and simplicity - the lifestyle chosen by many medieval monks. You can have no more than a house, food, clothing, artwork, and other people. It's prevents the obtaining of 'property' because not everyone can have property. If everyone can't have it, why do 1% of the population deserve it?

  • @LeBaronDePropane And that's impossible for most of the population. It's a human trait to be greedy. We are selfish-based animal crawling across the Earth, but because we have brains, sometimes we can try real hard and aspire to something that is less than pure evil. That's why it will never work. The lazy will always abuse the hard working.  That is why capitalism works for the most part (With it's own flaws ofcourse), it at least puts human greed to work for productivity.

  • @nyctoo Semen stains the mountain tops. You had better come to terms with the New World Order.

  • @LeBaronDePropane O.....k.............?

  • 4 more years!

  • He is needed now more then ever!

  • Best way to deal with Islamic fascists is to make secret deals with them, if we follow Reagan's actions rather than empty rhetoric.

  • @bgd1968 The point of supplying the Mujahideen was that it was a defacto war against the Soviets, and when we supplied both the Iranians and Iraqis, it was to ensure instability in the region because if they were occupied fighting each other, they wouldn't worry about us or Israel.

    The unfortunate result, however, is that these forces inevitably later turned our own weapons, training, and tactics against us because this approach works in the short term, but never in the long term.

  • @ ToddAldrich- To encapsulate your Depression comment,

    "Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it".

  • @Funkywhiteboy63 And unfortunately we ARE repeating those mistakes.

  • @ToddAldrich Sad but true, or so it would seem.

    I'm with those who say that FDR's big-government New Deal programs aren't what lifted us

    out of the Depression, WWII did. Cost a lot of lives, but wartime production was the key.

  • @Funkywhiteboy63 The two are indellibly connected, though, so without WWII, there would've bene no need for that production. Keep in mind that we were approaching a wartime economy with our support of England before Pearl Harbor and our official declaration of war on the Axis Powers.

    Germany was the first country to come out of the Depression via their pre-wartime production and preparation programs because everyone had a job to do, and everything was geared toward the coming conflict.

  • Fantastic video. GOD BLESS RONALD REAGAN, and GOD BLESS THIS GREAT NATION.

  • The countries best economic times were (I beleive) The 40's, 50's, and 80's. In the 40's it was because of WWII, but just coincidentally, the 50's and 80's both had conservative presidents, Eisenhower and Reagan respectivly. Coincidence? I think not.

  • @SpadaccinoLuciano I know you would like to think it was but the country was never prosperous under Conservative presidents. FDR and massive government spending (jobs created from the war), and Clinton ofcourse had the best economies.

  • @1polymath That is simply not true. FDR presided over some of the worst economic times in this country's history - have you ever heard of the Great Depression? It was barely a recession - AND it was getting better before he started to "help" with his big government programs. Also, if you look at the "Clinton" jobs record, a VERY large % of them came from companies that got their start because of REAGAN's economic policies.

  • @ToddAldrich You need to read your history! I'm going to pretend that you said the Great Depression wasn't that bad and that the economy got better by chance and osmosis and not by Democractic policies! Your presidents made America into a global Fascist state! When the government start putting ppl in camps your going to pray for a real democracy again!

  • @1polymath I do not need to RE-Study history. I have not stopped studying it for over 30 years. After the 1929 crash, unemployment skyrocketed to 9% but by June of 1930, it had already come down to 6%. The recession was OVER. THEN Hoover undertook a massive tax increase and set up all sorts of government programs to "help" people. The architects of the "New Deal" admitted that they stole pretty much everything from Hoovers inititiatives. The result was a DECADE long Depression.

  • @hansjalv the moron quotes mussolini and wants a thumbs up?.lol..another failed idiot..

  • @wogdoggy I'm sure you know better than Benito Mussolini what fascism is.

  • @hansjalv  And guess what Obama and other liberals have been doing for decades? (RINO's included).

  • @ToddAldrich The Barack Obama-regime is clearly fascist, as any honest observer must conclude.

  • @hansjalv Yes he is - but not a purist - he would tend more toward straight marxism if he could.

  • @ToddAldrich Accepting Mussolinis definition of fascism, Obama is very clearly a fascist.

You do realize that the military budget of the United States exceeds the spending of the rest of the world combined? And we haven't been invaded by a foreign power since 1941.

    The collapse, the rot of an empire is from within. Ronald Reagan showed that the Soviets overspent on defense and collapsed.

  • @Redfingers Did you ever think that there might be a connection between our military's power and the fact that we haven't been invaded?

    Of course not, that would require logic, and liberal and "logic" are an oxymoron.

  • @ToddAldrich

    North Korea hasn't been invaded since the Korean War, which the North Koreans initiated by invading South Korea.

    Today we wouldn't think of invading North Korea....or Pakistan.

    Why? Nuclear missiles.

    Not your stupid billion dollar tanks and footsoldiers shooting billions of rounds of 5.56 at sand dunes in the middle of the desert.

    Conventional arms never stopped war. Napoleon invaded Germany, Bismarck invaded France, Hitler invaded Russia, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

  • @Redfingers Guess what, we HAVE invaded Pakistan. How do you think we got Bin Laden. Guess WHY they didn't retaliate?

  • @Redfingers And just to show you how stupid you are, most of Reagan's increased defense spending was ON those Nuclear missiles that you claim are the ONLY reason a country would not invade us. So I guess YOU DO credit Reagan for keeping us from being invaded.

    The TRUTH however is both are part of the equation.

  • @ToddAldrich

    Overspending on conventional arms when a modest nuclear arsenal is a sufficient deterrent....sufficient for the Cold War....is not an effective strategy.

    The only thing it is effective at is creating a gigantic budget deficit, which is more what Reagan was responsible for than any military strategy in his non-military career.

    Standing armies for the most part in peacetime are an enormous burden. We spend half the world's budget on defense, which is nonsense.

  • @Redfingers The military is one of the FEW Constitutional roles of government. Reagan's build up led to the "peace dividend" that allowed Clinton to claim he balanced the budget. Standing armies are needed and necessary. ESPECIALLY to ward off an invasion. What are we going to do, nuke our own cities when the enemy lands in Los Angeles? You display an ASTOUNDING amount of ignorance.

  • @ToddAldrich

    Did you know that we spend $20 billion on air conditioning the troops in Iraq? That's more than the entire budget for NASA.

    I'm not saying we should liquidate the conventional arms defense budget, but I am saying that we are overspending on "defense" to the point of it becoming comically unsustainable. The Soviets were doing EXACTLY the same thing Reagan did, spending shit tons of money on conventional arms research and production, at the expense of the rest of the economy.

  • @lionel21000 unpopular speech often becomes popular speech.....keep this in mind once you receive a real education on the exploits of Reagan.....look at his policies and the consequences they have had on today's USA.....I am not even american and I know for a fact that Reagan was merely a puppet figure who pushed corporate interests

  • @jmintube u certainly arent an american u anti capitalist euro trash pos...dumbass fuck

  • @Redfingers LOL Fa sho! Conservatives live in a fucking bubble and hardworking Americans have to pay the price of their corporatization of government!

  • @1polymath The corporatization of our government is due to the LIBERALS. Conservatives don't want government to have that power to begin with. Liberals favor regulations that keep small businesses from competing with big corporations. Liberals favor group "rights" over individual liberty.

    You need to wake up.

  • @Redfingers dont tell me you think the empty suited chicago con man is your kinda guy? and no wonder our country is so fucked up..are you yet ANOTHER fine product of public schools? save it idiot
