  • So, the middle class in America is not struggling, hmmm! Republicans and Democrats are "paid" to keep the American people divided! By who, the very wealthy people who send the lobbyist goons to capital hill! The wealthy have the dems and repubs keep us fighting over the scraps while they eat the filet mignon! That seems to be the problem!

  • On April 19, 2010, the Voice of Freedom will

    be heard across America like never before!

    Millions will gather in every state to take back their Constitution. The action required of all Patriots is three fold:

    1 READ the Articles of Freedom, 2 SIGN the Pledge, 3 BE at your state capitol on Patriots Day 19 April 2010 to join with millions of others who simultaneously in every state will serve the Articles of Freedom on elected officials. articlesoffreedomDOTus

  • Awesome video! I cant believe how well edited it is.

  • Whats the name of the first song?

  • I like the production of your videos. Very well done.

    As for the content, it's too late, we are screwed. Too many uninformed zaps elected the Messiah already.

    Come April 15, they will regret their ignorance.

  • The world follows the United States... So

    yes, after Bush, Canada got a Conservative PM and then,shockingly France got Sarkosy... Yep.

    But now, Obama was elected... It's changing AGAIN! Face IT!!!

  • "Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other." ~ - ( Oscar Ameringer ) -

  • economy and numbers

  • you have summed up whit numbers whit word what can not resolved

  • that was beautiful. i vote for obama. see my video for why

  • WOW

  • If we could have elected a good conservative in the primary, like Ron Paul, or even some of the others, we could have won. The Republican party needs to be rebuilt.

  • whats the music starting at 8:04?

  • MP - You have absolutely outdone yourself - AGAIN - THANX for all you have done to try to avoid this train wreck. Please don't give up the effort. To a certain extent complacency on the part of the masses produced yesterday's results.

    Americans absolutely now have to conver their representatives up with communication, criticism, etc.

    I'm in Dallas, TX - hope we can meet someday

  • Whatever you want to call it, the hogs are going to have to adjust their style of living a bit and choose between the vacation home in the Hamptons OR a private jet this year, but not both. You've got to feel a little sorry for these snakes, huh?

  • they dont win anything they cheat. a bunch of cheaters and crooks and thieves thats what they are all murderous genocidal maniacs with pissing territorial homicidle egomaniacal evil bastard slips.all of them.their sins reach the heavens!!!!

  • VERY GOOD

    VERY GOOD

    5/5

    MORE IF I COULD

  • I am listening, and I understand what you are saying.

    The colonial experience also had a deep rooted

    impact on the Muslim psyche, and their IS a rush to condemn the foreigners and the colonizers, coupled with a general unwillingness to look inward and to identify where THEY may be going wrong themselves.

    My point is they are not going to start to look inward and stop blaming the west and what happened in the past, if we keep giving them new reasons to blame us for their situation.

  • It's a lot more complicated than you are makeing out. Both sides have committed wrongs against the other, I mean just look at things like America's involvement in the middle east regarding palestine (a Muslim country) and how it massively backed Israel with money and military equipment. Because that is a major part of the reason why their are so many hostile feelings between the west and the east. So to make out like it is just them that are in the wrong doesn't help anyone.

  • Hey man, what's the name of that badass song at 8:04 mins?

  • Hey man, what's the name of that badass song at 8:04 mins?

  • zipplock from UK did a lot of commenting here. Women do not want sharia law. Let sharia law determine their own civil matters even if women are not treated with the same civil rights as men?

  • That is 1 concern , but , sharia law is

    only used if BOTH parties involved agree to be judged by sharia law, if they dont both agree, then the case goes to a British civil

    court. So if a woman thinks she will be mistreated in a sharia civil court, she can refuse to be judged by one, and if she is so dominated by men or whoever then chances are she wouldn't get to go to any court, but that is another matter altogether.

  • What is alarming about UK's sharia court system is what prompted its establishment... One can only surmise how much posturing and agitation British officials had received to cause it to succumb to the pressurings of a radical Muslim population in consenting to an entire parallel legal system - Sharia Law -just to accommodate one of its faith groups. Are there not entire city blocks unsafe for non-muslims and police to patrol w/o back-up?

  • Nearly All religions including Christianity have their fanatical followers who preach and teach violence in the name of their chosen God

    ,but the vast majority just want to live in peace.

    Granting them their own civil courts is one way of showing tolerance towards them, And that tolerance sends the message that their opinion is valued and their religious beliefs respected in our country, which is a step in the right direction towards us living together in peace.

  • Wrong. Christianity is a faith based on love for neighbors and our enemies, forgiveness, compassion and service to the poor & desperate as taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ. I challenge you to name 1 person who has committed a terrorist act justified by the Christ's teachings. There are many people who purport to be Christians, but are not as evident by how their behaving in direct opposition to Jesus's teachings.

  • The Bible Just like the Qur'an have been

    misinterpreted by SOME people to make it fit their own agenda. they pick certain passages

    and take them out of context, so they can get other people to beleive what they beleive,

    claiming it is what god wants. But when you put it back in context it reads very different. Part of the reason for this is because it does not translate well into English, and part is because it is not meant to be read out of context.

  • yup thats sure turning the other cheek now aint it?

  • In Christianity, Jesus died for men to pay for their sins so they could spend eternity with their Creator in Heaven. In Islam, the prophet Muhammed asks men to die for him so they can spend eternity in their version of heaven. Jesus preached love, tolerance, and forgiveness. Muhammed preached revenge, intolerance, and violence.

  • The Islamic religion is a faith prone towards extremism and violence, they are not very tolerant other faiths or values, as witnessed on 9/11. Not all Muslims are this way, many simply want to live in peace and worship as they choose. In fact, many left muslim countries to escape the horrors of Sharia law.

  • The best thing America can do to change opinion's is what Obama is talking about doing, and that is sit down and TALK with them, whether it is the Taliban or whoever, because opinions cant be changed using violence, as history has proven time and time again. I mean just look at the inquisition, how christians used to be burned alive Etc, and even those extremely cruel actions didn't destroy christian opinions about their beliefs, if anything it made them stronger.

  • Your not hearing me, "Z". The radical muslim terrorists attacked AMERICA. 9/11. They didn't OFFER to talk to us. Why? Bc they're not interested in talking to us. Their goal is to spread islamic sharia law, RADICAL islamic law. They're Qu'ran states they must wage war on all non-muslim states who do not willingly convert to Islam. There is NO TALKING w/ them. If you sign a treaty with them, the Qu'ran justifies its violation - in the name of spreading Islam. Thats the role of a "Jihadist."

  • 9/11 inside job. It is 2008 and you still believe that fairy tale official story?

  • The Inquision was against muslims & jews to convert or get the fuck outa Spain. It worked pretty well cause there aint many of either there today.

  • I see, so you beleive it would be a good thing to torture, burn and kill anyone who has a view that doesn't fall in line with the belief's you chose to follow. Well that puts you in the same thinking category as the most

    extreme religious fanatic's (of any faith).

  • Im not religous at all. I think it's ok to throw invaders & parasites out of ones nation.

  • Well if you live in America and you beleive that, then start by throwing yourself out, because you live on land stole from the Indians, land that was taken from a peaceful people who where massacred in the process of your Ancestors stealing it.

    So i guess it is you who is the parasite living on stolen land.

  • First zippLock , I am Indian hence the name "Currahee". Second we did throw the parasitic invaders out,they were called "British".Third you're a wanker.

  • Lol You think saying shit about the British will bother me,you mistake me for someone who is patriotic,I couldn't give a toss about britain.

    Also Indians didnt throw the British out. Some British along with other Europeans didnt want to be ruled over by Britain while in America so they fought,and the British army lost,but the people who won where mainly British,hence the reason why Americans speak English.

    As for the Indians they were tricked and slaughtered by the Europeans(mainly the British

  • so true! XD

  • zippL0ck:

    My ancestors, like the ancestors of the VAST MAJORITY of the people of this country, immigrated to the US between 1875 and the early 1900s. This land was taken from the Indians years and years before that, no my ancestors did not steal this land nor did the ancestors of most of Americans. We remember history so that we don't repeat it, and guess what? We haven't repeated that part of our history yet. So quit crying about a past that we cannot fix.

  • Haven't repeated it , no , but it's shure not through lack of trying , take all the millions we have killed in the middle-east for example , people who were murderd for a lie , a lie that fell from the lips of our so called "Leaders" , a lie that was eagerly acted upon by a trigger happy playstation generation of soldiers , most of whom seemed to have replaced empathy with apathy .

    Put all those murdered humans we have killed together , and theres more than enough to fill a country ......

  • All the millions? Lol whatever whackjob.

  • I wasn't just talking about the present day wars in the middle east , i was referring to all the shit the west has done in the middle east over the last 100 years or so, because we've had countless wars and campaigns of colonisation, and do you think they just handed us control of their countrys ? NO , we killed shit loads of people in the process of taking control, and then many more in the process of keeping control, only to give them back after we'd had our fill of oil and raw material.

  • .....But hey , i guess it's all good as long as westerm corporations are benefiting massivly from all that murdering .

    Also if you dont think we are repeating our past , well the bad bits at least , then you must live on another planet , because we have learned fuck all from history , we are making all the same mistakes that our ancestors made , we are just putting our own modern little twist on it . When it comes to the important lessons , we have learned nothing .

  • We still destroy our environment , we still put money before everything , we still sit back like dumbed down cattle N let the greedy selfish & corrupt lead us , we still let ourselves be driven by our ego's and so on Etc Etc Etc .

  • zippL0ck:

    What lie are you talking about? If its about Bush and oil than I have news for you...if he really wanted oil that badly than why did he spend 8 years as president and never took any? Terrorists attacked our country and you expect us to do nothing? I saw your page and noticed that you are from the UK. Let some terrorists fly planes into buildings in your country, causing your entire nation to panic and your economy to go bad. Then we'll see your opinion on war.

  • Try the little white lie they told about Iraq having WMD's . Also they ARE taking oil from Iraq , they are allowing themselves to buy the rights to drill for oil from the Kurds , but the problem with that is , apart from profiting of the back of a war they started , is that the oil doesn't belong to the Kurds , it belongs to ALL Iraq , oh and guess where the oil barons who got that Iraq oil

    contract are from , Texas , the home of Bush , and guess who they happen to be good freinds with , Bush

  • Also if planes were flown into buildings here in the UK ( although its no different from, let's say ,blowing up a bunch of trains and busses, which did happen here ) I certainly wouldnt feel like bombing the country the attackers came from , because what good is indiscriminately killing even more innocent people . Will it bring the dead back ? No . But it will cause hundreds of thousands of grief stricken familys to want and in alot of cases to seek out Revenge . 2 Wrongs dont make a Right .

  • " an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind "

    .......( Mahatma Gandhi )........

  • ihatesocialism--don't bother with zippL0ck he probably believes that FDR ended the great depression. When in fact it was entering WWII that ended it. And he probably 'mistakenly' believes it was deregulation of banks that caused the crash in fall of 08 when actually it was the left-wing Demon-cratically controlled congress that caused it because, they forced banks to make high risk loans.

  • But the truth is Islam is a faith borne out of violence, its prophet Muhammed was a violent man, and its Islamic teachings do state Muslims must wage war if necessary to impose Islamic law on non-Muslim states, and to "smite the necks" of "unbelievers." Hence the existance of "jihadists" who terrorize the populations of civilized nations like the U.K., where they are too afraid to take an aggressive stance to end this nonsense, but rather capitulate to it by granting them their own court system.

  • This say's it very well. First off it is not the Governments job to Redistribute Wealth or even Create it. It is the individuals job to do that. Welcome Socialism in to the U.S.

  • The bottom line is this...You are your own best resource to make it in this Great country. Republicans or Democrats can't give you hope or change, but with freedom and personal responsibility you can. "The price of greatness is responsibility"-Winston Churchill

    Its easy to blame your poor choices on someone else.

  • Hey GTsquid - you're right on target. Well said!

  • "Big government... has failed miserably." Fair enough, but which party is the one that created and has presided over the largest government in our nation's history? Answer: Not the Democrats... Obama is NOT calling for "socialism", more like rationalism, a tax structure more akin to what we had under Clinton. Were people calling it "socialism" then? Were entrepreneurs feeling stifled then (during one of our most prosperous eras economically)? I don't think so.

    OBAMA '08!

  • YES !!! OBAMA HARA POR LOS us LO QUE HA HECHO POR VENEZUELA. COMVERTIRLA EN UN PAIS LIBRE!!

    VENEZUELA AHORA ES LIBRE , PROSPERA Y PACIFICA GRAICAS A CHAVEZ

    OBAM WILL FREE THE us AS CHAVEZ HAS LIBERATED VENEZUELA !!!

    OBAMA 20008!!!

  • Abraham Lincoln started out in life for many years with hardly any money.

    He lived with so many other people in a log cabin for pete's sakes!!!

  • I know Abraham Lincoln came from a farming background and his parents were poor, But he lived in a different era, an absolutely different time, a time when it was a hell of a lot simpler to make something of yourself, and there where no where near as many people,

    or problems.

    So his words have little relevance in our world, at THIS time.

  • Bull shit.

  • such willful ignorance and proud of it

    after reading more of your inane comments you are not worth the time to reply to--DOOMED yes doomed those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it-yeah Abe Linclon why listent o him jus one more intelligent powerful brilliant old white man for you to disrespect

  • With Obama we will have war also. People will die under his watch. Obama even went back on his orginal stance on Iraq. Now he's saying he can't promise a withdrawal time.

    War will still happen with Obama. Anyway, Obama wants to pass the Feedom of Choice Act that will take away any restricitons on abortion. We will be the only nation that does that.

    McCain won't drag us into unnecessary war, especially with the contraint of a Full Dem controlled Congress.

  • Abortion is a good thing, it is better than being brought in to this world struggling, because there are too many people (as long as it is done early), and their WILL be too many people if we don't do something about it now,

    because population rise is a FACT, and it IS going to get out of control, IF not tackled now in some way.

  • ok zipplock bag...why don't you volunteer to abort yourself off this planet. Paranoid freak!

  • 'Kympsa23' You are right about 1 thing, i am paranoid, What with political scandal after scandal (how many Watergate's go undiscovered)

    things like billionaires bankrolling presidential campaigns in return for sly favours when they get to power, there are doctors who are serial killers, childminder baby killers, Govt's lieing to start wars Etc

    so yeah i am paranoid, because again

    What is there 'NOT' to be paranoid about. You need a check up from the neck up if you are not paranoid.

  • "Radicalism is a cause whose utopian agendas result in an ethic where the ends outweigh and ultimately justify any means. Like the Salvationist agendas of jihad, the Left's apocalyptic goal of social justice' is the equivalent of an earthly redemption. A planet saved, a world without poverty, racism, inequality, or war - what means would not be justified to achieve such millennial ends?" - David Horowitz, former 60s Radical -- Unholy Alliance

  • I'm not talking about any sort of Radicalism,

    I'm simply saying their should be equal school's, hospitals Ect for both rich and poor. Because it creates an unfair system otherwise. A system that seems to value 1 person over the other, which can't be right ,

    or has the human species not come as far as we claim to have come.

  • Hey, I wish socialism and communism worked. I really do. If it did, it would be a utopia! Who would say no to a utopia?

    But they don't work. It is impossible to regulate a fair distribution of resources. But what CAN we regulate? Opportunity! Give the power to the workers, the entrepreneurs, the businessmen. We can't help everyone, but we can choose the plan that helps the most, and lets people help themselves. Otherwise, we are all equal in our misery.

  • well according to O's friends about 25 million "capitalist pigs" must die for their version of USA

  • Well it's a good job that friend ( Rev. Jeremiah Wright ) isn't running for president then .

    All that shows is that Obama is in touch with many different types of people, instead of just spending all his time with the super wealthy, eating at 200 dollar a plate restaurants all the time, which is what many who have gone before him have been like.

  • well it is a good thing you are too ignorant to know who said that (not Wright-buy a clue) No Wright is only ONE of a number of poorly chosen "friends". So if you choose to hate and resent sucessful & wealthy people by the same standard you should hate Obama. You are very confused

  • Where have i said i would support Obama ?

    At the most i said he is the lesser of two evils .

    And I didn't disrespect Lincoln at all, I just said that their words where spoken in a different time, and where spoken about a different ere, and as such , many (not all) of their words have little relevance for people today.

    And trying to imply I'm disrespectful of white men who have done well is utter bollocks.

  • I do not hate or resent successful people, I am just saying everyone should be given the same standard of schooling Etc

    so all people, not just some , have the opportunity to become as successful as the people who go to upper class schools are, is that so wrong????.

  • Regardless of what Obama is talking about doing with Tax's Etc, the main reason why i hope he Win's is because he isn't as war hungry as McCain, who has already made it very

    clear that if he gets in their will be more war. And another war president would be terrible for the whole world, especialy Americans, who will be paying for his wars.

    I think most of the world is sick and tired of the republicans attitude towards war ( including apparently most of the voting Americans ).

  • This one actually brought me to tears

    God Bless you TheMouthPeace and

    GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

  • Wow. Every time I watch one of your videos, I can not believe how well done & sourced they are; & I am amazed that you've somehow managed to top your best efforts to date. Then I watch the next one & I am blown away again. I don't know how/when you manage to put these together, but I am so thankful that you do. Absolutely fabulous!

  • * You cannot build character and courage, by taking away men's initiative and independence.

    * You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves.

    * A government that gives you everything, can take everything away from you.

    Do you recognize the author?

    It was Abraham Lincoln

    *For those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.

  • YES but surprise surprise Lincoln was a wealthy man, and it is easy to make such statements when it isn't you being treated unfairly by society.

    Just like it is easy to make statements like

    "you cant make an omelet without breaking a few eggs" when talking about Iraq, if it isn't your innocent family members being killed for nothing by bombs and bullets.

    Some people dont seem to be able to see past their own nose.

  • Wise Words for the Times

    During this election year let's be reminded of these words:

    * You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich.

    * You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong.

    * You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.

    * You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down.

    * You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred

  • Redistribution of wealth may work for small viallges but not for an entire nation.

  • OH yeah thats right, every single person out of work is out of work because they are just lazy, i get it now , it has nothing to do with the 'FACT' there are not enough jobs for everyone, and further more,with an ever increasing population there never will be enough. So what? we just don't think about those that miss out because of lack of opportunity, or those that had misfortune thrust upon them. I suppose it's easier for your conscience to just class them all as lazy,and forget about them.

  • I've been laid off 3 times in my life, and I'm only 30, but I keep picking myself back up, and working my ass off. I have a wonderful wife (who's pregnant), a nice house, 6 cars, and a great job with the NFL. You just have to work hard and not give up. THAT is the American Dream... THAT is why people flock to our country. Obama is NOT right... he does NOT understand.

  • Well then, you are 1 of the lucky one's.

    Many are not so lucky with their circumstances

    and work 2 even 3 job's and still struggle to pay the bill's, let alone have any quality of life .

    It isn't as black and white as what some of you are trying to make out, just classing all those out of work as lazy.

    there is a hell of a lot more to this situation, than that work-hard and have Lot's or be lazy and have nothing attitude.

  • Ok, well... I was unemployed for 3 full months one of the times, racked up a ton of credit card debt which I eventually paid off. I was also without health insurance and had medical expenses, which I had to pay out of pocket. But... why should YOU, or any other tax-payer have to pay for it? That's part of life, that's part of growing, learning, being an adult, and learning to make the right decisions. That's saving money when you have it, rather than spending it frivilously.

  • Also, it's a known statistic that the vast majority of people who are out of work suffer from A) a psychiatric problem, B) a chemical addicition, or C) laziness. If you end up on the street and lose your job, but are industrious... you'll get a job again. It does happen, and people DO pick themselves up. But if you're on the street for a year or more... chances are you're not doing anything to change anything for yourself.

  • todd82ta, I agree, I'm in the same boat, laid off,get another job, single dad, going to school. People need to take responsibility for themselves.

  • And am I REALLY one of the lucky ones? What's so lucky about being laid off three times in the span of 2 years? (Computer programmer in 2000-2002). Seriously... how is that lucky? Could it MAYBE be determination, perserverance, hard work??? Luck is bull-s**t, there's no such damn thing. Luck is what you make it... what you do with the opportunities you are provided with, and how you conduct yourself... the decisions you make with your life. Luck... please...

  • Luck has everything to do with it in our class driven society,starting with your family circumstances when you are born and growing up,then your school i.e some schools are much better than others depending on where you live,and i am not just talking about upper class schools,i am talking about upper middle class schools too,then health care plays a big role too because if you have lets say a psychiatric problem,unless you live in a "well to do area" chances are you will get no useful treatment.

  • Well I hope you live in a "well to do area" because you need that help.

  • Lol aww Whats the matter, upset because Obama is going to win.

    Obama 08 ( live with it )

    P.S Do you think your pathetic little insults

    bother me ??

    Because they bother me about as much as it would bother me if Santa Claus

    came to your house this Christmas and pissed on your kids.

  • zipplock...I don't have kids, Santa Claus is not real,and Christmas won't be called "Christmas" after the Libs take over. They call it "Holiday". If Obama wins...you better worry about a job, or you can just join his "civilian national security force". Good luck.

  • Santa Claus is not real ??? WOOT . Don't say that, that's evil, who brings all the presents then ???. Please tell me you are joking,

    I look so forward to leaving him his cookies and milk. :(  That's another point, who eats all the cookies and drinks the milk then??? :(

    P.S I live in the UK, so i am only concerned with America getting a leader that isn't hungry for WAR. Any other shit that may come with the package is yours to deal with. :)

  • Oh yes..Well that explains everything. Hey! How do you like your new "Sharia Law". Don't be concerned about us, be concerned about your own country.

  • I'm not that concerned about America or Britain, I'm more concerned with all the innocent people that end up dieing in our unjust wars. Because to me they are not

    "sand-niggers","rag-heads" or any other dehumanising term i hear people over here and in America calling them, they are human beings and they deserve to have their life respected as much as we want our life to be respected.

  • Zipplock...you made a comment that abortion was a good thing because there are too many people on the planet. Unborn babies "are human beings and they deserve to have their life respected as much as we want our life to be respected". They are innocent people that die unjustly everyday! Hypocrite. I have had about enough of you.

  • Kympsa23, I thought it was that comment that angered you. You are right it was a hypocritical comment and was made in a tactless way. However i only made the comment

    because i can see clearly that what is going to be caused by our continual population increase is misery for all, including all the children, real misery, not just doing without TVs Etc, but going without food, water Etc.

    Abortion is no solution at all, unless it is forced on every one, which would clearly be wrong.

  • I suppose Abortion may even add to the population problem, because it sort of sends out the wrong message that people can act sexually irresponsible and their will always be this Abortion safety net for them if they unwanted fall pregnant.

  • And as for "Sharia Law", they have their own people judging their civil cases things like

    divorce,financial disputes, domestic violence

    , so what , it doesn't bother me at all.

    The way i see it is, we colonised most of the countrys they come from, and we did a hell of a lot more (and worse) than enforce are own civil law, we Dictated on every aspect of peoples lives in those countrys we colonised.

    So we can't really grumble about this tiny bit of power they have over their civil affairs.

  • Plus those Sharia judges can only rule on case

    if both parties involved agree to it.

    Also Jewish Beth Din courts which operate in the same way for the Jew's in our country ,

    have been here for more than a hundred years,

    and i don't here anyone grumbling about them.

  • And before you give me some crap about having skills that I learned in college that was paid for by my parents which other people don't have. I JUST got my Associates of Arts degree from a Community College LAST Spring. I've done everything, without a college degree, and finally realized I couldn't go any further without one. Did I b1tch about it being unfair? No, I worked my day job, contracted with another company, and worked weekends at another job, WHILE taking classes.

  • And now, I want even MORE from my life, I want to be a biomedical engineer so I can get out of programming. I might b1tch about it, but guess what I'm doing? I'm DOING something about it. I'm now enrolled for my bachelors degree (at 30) to try to get an engineering degree. It's VERY difficult... yes... while working a weekend job, and my primary job, while maintaining all adult responsibilities and taking care of a household. But someone's got to do it, it's not going to take care of itself.

  • And i am not saying it is impossible to pull yourself out of crappy circumstances, i am saying it is unfair how some children get all the advantages of our system while others get none or the bare minimum, But the tax rate is the same for all.

  • No it's not. It's a graduated system. The wealthy pay significantly more tax than the poor. Poor people typically don't pay ANY income tax at all, yet when they file, they actually GET money from the government.

  • The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess anothers wealth but also the desire to see anothers wealth lowered to the level of ones own. Socialisms teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini.

  • (cont.)The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said Mussolini, is " a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interestsrealizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

  • It is fashionable among college professors, journalists, and politicians these days to sneer at the free-enterprise system. They tell us that capitalism is base, callous, exploitative, dehumanizing, alienating, and ultimately enslaving.

  • The intellectuals mantra runs something like this: In theory socialism is the morally superior social system despite its dismal record of failure in the real world. Capitalism, by contrast, is a morally bankrupt system despite the extraordinary prosperity it has created. In other words, capitalism at best, can only be defended on pragmatic grounds. We tolerate it because it works.

  • Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

  • Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.

    Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.

  • Socialism vs. Capitalism:

    Which is the Moral System

    On Principle, v1n3

    October 1993

    by: C. Bradley Thompson

    I agree with this guy ;)

  • That's rubbish, factory workers can work as hard as possible ,but they still only get minimum wage, so where is the reward for their hard work, oh thats right the rich company bosses take a massive and unfair cut of the profit's,which is bollocks

    because without factory workers there would be nothing to sell Etc,no matter how good the invention or idea,without the workers nothing would get done,so where is their fair reward, they can barely pay the bills with their wage,

    let alone have a life.

  • sounds kinda like what we have now in america...maybe w/o the redistribution thing...but other than that.....

  • It also much be very easy to support a man who's tax increases you will never have to feel isn't it? You will never have to carry the burden of his tax increases. There's a reason we are no longer under your yoke, and your ignorance glorifies that reason. You live an ocean away! You don't know what the hell you are talking about!

  • 3of3.....The data, then, do not support the assumption that the United States is a true meritocracy where the most able rise to their rightful positions. Nor do they defend the contention that the United States is structured so that authentic equality of opportunity prevails. Inheritances undermine the achievement-reward equation.

  • 2of3....Half of those on the Forbes 400 list started their economic careers by inheriting businesses or substantial wealth. Of these, most inherited sufficient wealth to put them immediately into Forbes' heaven. Only three out of ten on the Forbes list can be regarded as self-starters whose parents did not have great wealth or own a business with more than a few employees.

  • The Forbes 400 is an international list...

  • I know this , and i was referring to the world's rich, not just those in America, because unfairness between the classes is a world problem not just an American or British problem. Just like the population problem I mentioned is a world problem( a serious world problem), but that doesn't mean individual country's shouldn't be tackling these issues in their country's.

  • 1of3.....Forbes Magazine likes to herald its reports on the wealthiest Americans as demonstrating the realization of the American dream: that one can go from rags to riches. For Forbes, the Horatio Alger story is the true story of America.

    But careful identification of how Forbes' centi-millionaires and billionaires attained their wealth tells a different account of the plebeian origins of the richest Americans.

  • Where do you get off telling people, that you are 3000 miles displaced from, how terrible things are for them? It doesn't help your case at all that the standard of living is higher in America than in Britain. So easy to preach about how bad one system is when you offer no alternative of your own. All you can do is cling to an ideology that has proven itself unsuccessful time and time again.

  • I forgive you for your insults. If I were unfortunate enough to be born in the UK I would be pissed off all the time too. It is obvious you would never have the testicular fortitude to say any of this to my face in real life, you won't even show a picture of yourself while your willing to insult others.

  • And stop asking for my picture you little toff queer, I'm not putting my picture up for your wanking material.

    So get that shit out of your head, you filthy little twat.

  • "mouthy little cunt" - Typical liberal attidude... FREE SPEECH AND TOLERANCE (unless you don't agree with us)

    How dare I have a different opinion. Shame on me, if I'd only go along with the throngs of Obama supporters that don't have a clue what they are talking about.

    I've never asked for your picture. All I've asked is that you show yourself if you want to continue insulting others. Insulting others is ignorant enough as it is, atleast have the balls to show yourself if you must.

  • This is one of the best videos I've seen concerning economics and political policies for 2008.

    "When you take a way the chance of failure...you destroy the will to succeed."

    Love that quote!

    Thanks for sharing this video.

  • great video. I'm sending it to all of my lefty friends. Osama Obama Yomama can suck my balls.

  • Obama is the BIGGEST CON ARTIST EVA

    CONBAMA 08

  • "Lately, hes called me a socialist for wanting to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans so we can finally give tax relief to the middle class. I don't know what's next. By the end of the week, hell be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

    -President Obama, 10/29/08

  • Oh, and isn't the threat of job loss if we vote against corperate interests technically EXTORTION? RACKITEERING? STRONG-ARMING? When unions do that shit it's a federal case, but when the right has some John Gault wannabe pundit say it on national television we're supposed to accept it as common sense?

  • You act as if the businesses are threatening to fire people if McCain isn't elected lmfao. It's not a matter of them holding something over people, but simple reality. If our taxes go up, we can no longer afford to emply you.

  • Also, the Western Europe model of conservativism is vastly different then the American model. The Tory election in England represented a break with neoconservativism embodied by new labour.Sarcozy's election was fueled more by xenophobia then a newfound French embrace of Ayn Rand, and actually, most of the world is actually looking to take a hard left at the moment. As for China, well, they've played you for saps. Keep on pretending that they've gone capitalist. Drink the koolaid.

  • Yes, China, 1 billion people, 1/6 of the world has just pretended to start leaning toward capitalism and away from socialism just to trick us and go "Haha! We made you think that but Hah!" right back to their original model of Socialism that kept them as one of the poorest countries in the world... I don't know why I didn't see it earlier, your a genius, it just makes so much sense.

  • Uh hu.. China, a generation indoctrinated with foaming at the mouth nationalism AND Maoism are going to settle for a client-state status making cheap plastic crap for mouthy American brats like you. That's why the P.R.A owns the big Chinese industries. That's why they nationalize any damn thing they want as far as foreign investment goes. That's why they're buying up scrap-metal like there's no tomorrow. If only the MBA degree scum who do business with them wern't a bunch of traitors to the USA.

  • You aren't referring to the Tiananmen Square generation which now 20 yrs later are the 40-50 yr olds in China now are you? You mean that indoctrinated Chinese generation that would never go against Chinese Communism? Haha, then you go on to prove you don't know shit about world economics and resort to ad hominems. As if we should just shun China while they move forward in the world just because they aren't as Capitalistic as us, no matter how capitalistic they've become.

  • Hyper. China? What the fuck does china have to do with communism or Russia for that matter, if you think they where communist country's then you have no fucking clue what a dictatorship is, because both those country's where run by dictators, dictators that had a superiority complex, much like the upper class silver spoon fed over privileged twats that run our country's. The same Born rich twat's you seem to look up to.

    So hence they where dictatorships, that wasn't even close to Marxist idea's

  • It was a conversation with someone else. I love when you call me stupid when you are wrong, it just spotlights your own ignorance, as do your ad hominems, they make you look bad, not me.

    Russia and China were Communist. Communism is Socialism with a dictator, as Facism is Capitalism with a dictator. It is relevant because Capitalism has never worked with a dictator, while Socialism has only ever worked with a dictator.

  • In addition to that, the vast majority of dictators were not "born with a silver spoon in their mouth." Hitler, born poor. Stalin, born poor. Why did both these men have a "superiority complex?" Because they were poor, not because they were rich. Hitler bitter against the Jews, which just happen to be some of the most successful people then and now economically, and Stalin against the Capitalists, perhaps not unjustly given the special situation of Russia, but that is another matter.

  • And as for you saying i look bad , that's just your opinion, an opinion which i couldn't give a fuck about as you are 16 and have barely experienced life without mummy and daddy paying for everything for you.

    And they had a superiority complex because they longed for the power that the Born-rich cunt' that went before them had.

    P.S I wouldn't say it too your face, Lmao. You silly little mouthy cunt you look like a stiff wind would blow you over.

  • Lol, I've already pointed out that my family is middle class and my parents make less than $50K a year to support myself and three brother and sisters. But I'm sure thats all totally irrelevant because when you were 16 you paid for everything, your parents never ever bought you anything. Right?

    It is a different circumstance. There is a big difference between European monarchs and America where 80% of millionaires and made every penny on their own.

  • Hyper44400,It must be very nice for you being born upper middle class, but unless you walk about with your eye's shut then you must know that a huge portion of the population are born lower class at the bottom of society and the majority of them struggle all their

    life and struggle bloody hard just to become lower middle class and because of just how hard this is for them, it takes up the majority of their life ,meaning they never really get to experience the fruits of their labour.

  • First, I wasn't born as well off as I am now. Second I'm still not upper middle class. My parents both came from low income families, they recieved no substantial help from their parents after highschool. They both enlisted in the navy. Their pensions and training allowed my dad to go to college and get a job. Now, the middle class can range to incomes over $100K easily. $50K distributed among a family of 6 is hardly in the upper bracket of the middle class.

  • Hypr44400, And on top of having to struggle all their life just to become lower middle class ,they cant even leave the gains of all their hard work behind to benefit their children, because the born rich decision makers see fit to put an inheritance tax on that money they worked so hard for, makeing it even more impossibly hard for the lower class to move up the class system.

    which is about as fair as having your dick nailed to a table every time you sneeze,

  • Wow, lower middle class is so bad...

    Small place,running water,indoor plumbing,food,clothes,cars,cre­dit,flat screens,computers,free schooling,and last but not least!Opportunity!The class warfare thing is old...

    America's poor is no were near third world poor.

    Keep playing the victim of the evil capitalist system you'll always be one.Not all rich people are robber baron's.

    Do you work for a poor person?

  • I have plenty of friends that are on welfare, and plenty whose parents made over $100K a year. I know when we graduate most of us, myself included will not recieve much from our parents financially. We will all leave highschool relatively eqaul in proportion to what grades we got. There are poor kids who will get scholarships and do well, and there are rich kids who may be able to go to college but lack the brains to get through it.

  • The Inheritance tax applies on a marginal tax rate just as most taxes do. The higher the wealth inherited, the higher the taxes on it. The Death Tax is a liberal idea... as are most taxes, and is opposed by myself and most conservatives.

  • Your definition of communism is wrong,

    plain and simple.You say communism, is socialism with a dictator,that's bollocks.

    It is true however,if you think that Russia and China ARE communist country's, but, in reality they are not,and never have been. Take Russia for example,the Russian people bought into the true idea of Marx's vision, but Stalin made it his own,he changed it so much that it became something else. so it wasn't what Marx talked about, it was what Starlin changed it too.

  • Communism (noun) -

    1. a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.

    2. (often initial capital letter) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

    3. (initial capital letter) the principles and practices of the Communist party.

    Wrong?

  • And how the does that dictionary quote prove me wrong, when the 1st thing it describes is the communism i am talking about.

    The second is the 1 YOU are classing as communism, but the second 1 is just a western

    perception of communism i.e it is the perception of what most westerners think communism is, based on looking at countries like Russia and China.

    Communism is an idea, not a word, and that idea has never been tried without being railroaded by the Ego's of men like Stalin.

  • Obama's Socialist neo-Isolationist policies will get us no where. Every time a country moves in that direction it turns out bad. For some one who acts like they know so much about China one would think you'd be familiar with that much.

  • Bullshit. I can make statements without offering evidence to support my claims too. If I ever needed more proof that the economist, Business school caste of the U.S.A don't live in the real world..

  • lmao, I made it up?

    Google this:

    percent of millionaires who inherited their wealth

  • Millionaire is not that uncommon anymore. This isn't the twenties, and having a million in the bank doesn't mean you get a tophat and a mansion anymore. Try thinking BILLIONS. How many BILLIONAIRES inherit their money?

  • Oh, by the way: Not one single country that ever adopted the unquestionable neo-liberal economic theory that you hold in such high regard ever succeded. It failed every single fucking time. Your just like the modern day communists. When your theories are applied to the real world they fall apart, then you start scapegoating people to compensate, lying through your teeth, making up excuses. Your model DOES NOT WORK unless your a sociopath, piece of shit MBA holding white-collar fuck.

  • I can name one. The USA under Reagan. That are the the economic theory that I "hold in such high regard" [Along with scores of millions of other Americans.] Please define what you mean by "neo-liberal economic theory."

  • "white-collar fuck"...

    You are aware that Obama is a lawyer?... which would make him a "white-collar fuck" according to you.

  • 'Hyper44400' "you say you don't care what i think" oh noo please care oh i beg you soo

    pleaseeeee care lol nob. I couldn't give a fuck what you think you 16yr old spotty little freak looking puff,

    you look like someone who would enjoy being bent over an antique desk and invaded by rich boy's. So enjoy.

  • I remember McCain siteing the Irish economic model as an inspirational model for America. Didn't hear it brought up after the first debate however, because Ireland is collapsing as we speak. Why is it that the neoliberal economic policies have failed everywhere they've ever been exported, and have been corroding the US for years, but the supporters still can't do the math? Just like communism, it looks good on paper, but real world application of the principles doesn't work.

  • WhereDidItAllGo7 is right on point. I think people forget what made this country great in the first place, and they're blind to not see it headed down a dangerous path. Lincoln was a smart man.

  • Wise Words for the Times

  • It isn't how much money they have that is the problem , it is the fact that they pay the same tax's as the rest of us, but go to better schools that take all the systems best teachers , they go to better hospitals and see better doctors which take all the best medical personnel too, and to top it all they are the one's making all the big decisions that affect us all.

  • "It isn't how muc money they have that is the problem, it is the fact that they pay the same tax's as the rest of us" <--- LMFAO

    According to your socialist ideology, it is money that is the problem, why else would you want to tax them more? Um, how dare them want the best for their children and selves, why don't they go to the bad hospitals!? lol, I don't want to hear any more shit from you zipp. You don't have a clue what your talking about, you live 3000 miles away.

  • And this is why things for the working classes never fucking change ,

    no matter how much we complain year after year about schools and hospitals , they(the born-rich) still only make the bare minimal changes to make it look like they ae trying ,

    to keep the working classes from getting too pissed of with this situation.

  • I love how you always talk about "us." like your opinion matters. Your British! Not American! How they affect "us" all is how they affect Americans, not British. Your opinion doesn't matter in this election. You've no business passing judgement on which government you want for the US when you will never have to live under that government. It's nice and all for you to support your fellow Marxist when you don't have to pay the taxes for his policies.

  • Lincoln lived in an era before the doctrine of corperate personhood, and yes, you can, in fact, do all of these things. This isin't the ninteenth century anymore.

  • America is dried toast with Obama.

  • Right, right...RIGHT! So the right has put this country in the crapper. That's somthing we can all see. 8 years of W and the shit house is going up in flames....and your saying that McCain is the answer...WTF?!

  • Abraham Lincoln said:

    "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich"

    "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong"

    "You can't lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down"

    "You cannot further the brotherhood of many by inciting class hatred"

    "You cannot build character and courage by taking away mens initiative and independence"

    Barack Obama doesnt get it.

  • Fricken Wow my pause button shit out can you help me subsidize another one HOLY CRAP that was good this needs to go viral and I will help.

  • As for the economy, resources and problems of that nature, the FACT is they are products of over population. Over population is the real problem facing every human and every future human , and we can't close our eye's to this problem any longer.

  • Ever wonder why the places suffering most from hunger tend to be some of the most sparsely populated places in the inhabited world?
