The hypocrisy is obvious. Now, Obama doesn't miss a chance to bash wealthy people and talking about "paying your fair share" and all this crap while he's out on the campaign trail, but in between campaign stops, he goes out of his way to attend these $20,000 dollar a plate fundraisers in Hollywood and other places. I can understand why a billionaire would give him money. They will actually get something in return. It's the "little" people sending him money that have me scratching my head.
Lol just a few months ago u were saying how very little Obama had done for the gay community and now u switch up because u see he is getting some money from them
Doesn't it surprise you how easy to buy a politician?
Those people are in politics in order to be bought, they love being lobbied, and offered jobs by industry insiders.
It's not a flaw in the system, it's the purpose of the system: a massive redistribution of wealth from the ordinary people to the politically connected class.
The fight against "Gay agenda" issues like DOMA, and denial of gay adoption has been a massive strategic fail for the Christian right. No spouse and no kids means gay people are the most likely to have extra cash on hand to spend on political donations...

I may have gotten used to Republicans taking bribes and being dependent on their corporate masters and protected by various bought up instances but the systemwide malfunctioning will cause a serious breakdown at some point.

Why did the U.S even become independent, "No taxation without representation" hah bullshit.
If you would follow your own rebel slogans, only the billionaires would be taxed.
@underbjorn when it comes to history, the right say it was taxation. But the left knows it was representation. If it was taxation then why did they start taxes just a few years after the revolution? Yup, because the tax money was being spent by US and not THEM. 'THEM' used to be the red coats, 'THEM' are now corporations. That's what makes Wolf-PAC revolutionary.
@underbjorn It's a rather poor situation over here, indeed. We became independent for many a good reason, but are now so far removed from our original ideals as to allow corruption to run rampant. Our democracy is still alive, but it's close the death in many ways, I fear.
I completely agree with Cenk. I shouldn't have to PAY for my rights. The only thing I should be spending is my time fighting for my rights. You just can't put a price on something you were, or should have been, given since the day you were born.
Wish I could do something for wolf-pac, but I'm kind of running on no cash this year (last year of school), too much stuff to do to show up at my state capital, and I suspect you already have better web designers than myself...unfortunate.

@iamLI3 Are you a fucking idiot? Politicians get paid by the taxpayers... Six-figure salaries. Campaign contributions have nothing to do with politicians income.
iI is not all about the money it as long as you can get a majority that what put George W. Bush he got the religious voters.that's why our founding fathers with church and state separated back in their days religion was big majority and they knew that if a person ran on religious believe they would get elected.but the world is a different place now and now we have a lot more majorities now a days.
Why isn't TYT covering the remains of American soldiers being thrown in the landfill. Very indicative of the state of affairs of the military and government. Christ you war-mongers are hypocrites when it comes to your veterans.
I would say it goes beyond just politics. The only thing that matters in the monetary free for all market system is money, not the planet we depend on for survival, not human health, not peace, and not meeting everyone's needs. All of these things are second to money. So as long as we have an economic system based on money, everything else that we should be striving for will be secondary, and will likely not be accomplished if money cannot be made doing it (ending hunger, war, pollution, etc.)
@IHighLikePlane There will be human greed if there is money or not. Money is just the medium of exchange between two people. Unless you outlaw trading, money will always be relevent. As for those problems you listed like environment and poverty, countries like Iceland are already at that level. They have renewable geothermal energy powering the entire country, almost no poverty what so ever because they use taxes for things like green energy, healthcare, education etc. And not banks, war etc.
@coopmuch56 "They have renewable geothermal energy powering the entire country" - I agree with you but really, you want to score points with this gem? "They have renewable geothermal energy powering the entire country" - Iceland is one giant bloody volcano. They are lucky in that respect, however i doubt the story would be the same if iceland was an ordinary land mass.
@TheSpankymonkey wrong honey.. i cant explain to you how many times thats wrong but lets just say this.. the only reason we dont have free energy is greed honey they have had it for over 50 years
@kami243n - The reason they have this free energy is because it's a very simple technology and they live on a fucking volcano. No great special forward thinking, it is not the example you were looking for. There are plenty of nations far more adept at engineering and energy development than Iceland, take Germany for example. Oh wait.... They don't live on an active volcano do they. Your example is just plain stupid.
@TheSpankymonkey that my dear is because i said i cant explain to you what i know.. you wouldnt believe me anyway.. its ok im use to knowing before all you do.. and dont you think any place on needs volcano they just are taking atvantage for now but that will soon be um.. interesting.. now ive said enough.. and you dont need to waste anyone elses time.. because im afraid your just here for the trolling and not really to help educate anyone so ty for your imput and try trolling somewhere else
@coopmuch56 money will be here untill man decides that he needs to do shit to better man kind not himself.. its all a self learning curve.. those who need money are less developed than those who can live happily broke or poor.. its very simple.. most humans see ass backwards thats the problem.. when you can have nothing and be content.. to just have whats needed not whats wanted.. or craved.. thats when you will start to learn.. and grow.. not before.. so all those rich idiots.. pity them
@coopmuch56 Not true, people who've spent any time studying Human behavior know that virtually all behaviors are reinforced from the environment. People learn to be greedy they aren't born that way. Automation can easily make trade obsolete. If we applied our technology we could easily have an abundance of every human need. Even in Iceland there are people without energy because you can't make money creating a surplus of anything, thus poverty is inevitable. Watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward.
@IHighLikePlane I've seen all of the Zeitgeist movies, and I agree with the problems they list but not the solution. The venus project is just 6th stage communism or pure communism. Its nothing new. You're relying the whole system on people not being greedy. You cant possibly make trading obsolete, if a painter wants to make a career out of doing what he loves and sell painting, hes going to trade. Where there is trade there is money.
@coopmuch56 Saying you don't like it because its communism (which it isn't), doesn't discredit it in any way. Thats simply name calling. If you don't like it tell me why it won't work.
There is no "human nature" this has been proven by B.F. Skinner and many other behavioral scientists. If people's needs are met, and they all have equal access to resources then greed becomes a non issue.
Look, you cannot meet everyone's needs in a money market system, because scarcity equates to profits.
@IHighLikePlane Pure communism : "there are no governments, laws, or nations any more, all social classes disappear, everyone works for everyone else, there is no money or private property, all goods are free to be consumed by anyone that needs them." Sounds pretty much exactly what the venus project is doesnt it? When the means of production are controlled on a central level, it only takes one person to gain control of the monopoly and manipulate and exploit the people.
@coopmuch56 Nope, communism as described by Marx is the lifting up of the labor class, an RBE seeks to eliminate the labor class through automation. Communism also used money, militaries, government, and political leaders. An RBE has none of those things. Sure there are a few things in common with communism, but thinking they are the same because of that is an overly simplistic view.
There is no centralized power structure to "gain control" of.
@IHighLikePlane You are talking about the 5th stage of communism,that why I told you about the 6th stage of communism or its also called "pure communism".
"There is no centralized power structure to gain control of."
Of course there is who is the one producing all the goods? The ones who produce dont just han out all there goods for free, so it has to be centralized or else one person would think he deserves more for the work they put in. It has to be a monopoly where everyone pitches in.
@coopmuch56 Its a participatory democracy using science to arrive at decisions. Anyone can volunteer to invent a good, share it, form a group, design the production method, chose the most efficient design, and make it fully recyclable and upgradable.
No power structure, just people volunteering to come up with the most efficient sustainable goods. All goods are free, we already have the tech for an abundance of human needs.
Call it what you like but our survival depends on sustainability.
@IHighLikePlane You need to take som economics classes or something because you are missing the whole economic calculation problem. Who produces all the food? Its has to be a centralized power because some guy isnt just going to work all day to keep up his farm just so he can give it out to everyone. He would grow the amount that would feed his family. There has to be a gain, a motivation to put the work in. What isnt sustainable about contries like Iceland? Please tell me
@coopmuch56 Modern economics isn't empirical in any way, its more of an ideological religion than true economics in the literal Greek meaning of the word.
There is no "guy working all day on his farm". You need to go watch "Our technical Reality", because you must have no idea of the state of our technology. Farming can be almost entirely automated and self sustainable using hydroponics and robotics.
Iceland like any money economy requires continual growth and consumption (unsustainable).
@coopmuch56 And iceland has the population of one US city (and less than nearly EVERY metro in US). We don't structure the US for small communities. It has to be structured for EVERYONE. Try to think on a grander scale.
@coopmuch56 Iceland is a ridiculously poor benchmark for energy. It has hardly any people or industry and is the most Geologically active region inhabited on earth (plenty of easy geothermal). The fact that even Iceland STILL imports million's of barrels of oil a year underlines the energy problems we have as a planet.
@coopmuch56 "There will be human greed if there is money or not" - I'm agnostic on that. Why should there be human greed? Who said?? Yes some people are greedy but many are not. Many choose to use their physics degrees to work for peanuts studying asteroids, some use it to get into a City trading firm.
What I have noticed is the more educated, cultured people follow less base 'instincts'. Whether that be people wanting 6 kids or Conspicuous consumption, greed, jealous etc....
@coopmuch56 Correction, they DID have that in Iceland but no more. Once their government fell for corporate bank money in 2005 things went down hill for Iceland in a big way. Iceland was remarkable in they're forward progression before corporate greed infected their politicians too. Don't know what's current with the country in the last 2yrs but yeah, Iceland got fucked by their politicians and banks. Hope they get back on track.
@Chubearishere Yeah I know it was the same mess all over the world. Deregulating banks to take huge risks. But there kicked out the right wing idiots and now voted in the green liberal party with the very first openly gay head of government in the world which is a good social step I guess.
why lgbt should be more interest in h.i.v. more then others, and more "hate crimes" is a victory? crime should be treated at the same level, if you're not a disgusting goodthinker
If Palin ran for POTUS, her fundraising machine will PWN Obozo's current machine. The LGBT community will be completely straightened out by Palin and her Palinista Army!
@ecwaufisxtreme *sigh* Oh, look who crawled out from under the rock s/he lives under. Welcome back to Youtube. We were almost beginning to miss your brain-dead rambling....almost.
Why wouldn't the LGBT community want to support someone that does the right thing because its right, not because they are bribed? Speaking of course, of Ron Paul - one of the only politicians that isn't bought. He has said numerous times that you can't legislate morality, and that what individuals choose to do in a free country is NO BUSINESS of the federal government. Ron Paul is CLEARLY the progressive choice for 2012.
@cbeebe007 Yeah, cause letting people die in the streets because of no health insurance and taking away social security, medicare and medicaid from the ones who need it is VEEEERY progressive...
Don´t get me wrong, I think Ron Paul is the best candidate on the republican side, but he sure as HELL ain´t no progressive. And due to him actually being strictly libertarian he would probably take great offense of being called a progressive!
@BumfuzzledZeb Yeah, thats a bit of a stretch - calling him 'Pro-Death'. Where do people get the idea that Ron Paul wants people to die? You think people will just up and die if the all-powerful, all-good government doesn't save them from the dangerous world? Ron Paul is more progressive than Obama, so YES, he is the most progressive choice for 2012. His positions are 'progressive'. End Fascism, Drug Wars, Real Wars... promote civil and individual rights, stop Keynesian economics, etc.
@BumfuzzledZeb Either you are scared of freedom, or you haven't properly listened to RP's positions... or both. Good luck with Obama, then. No one else even comes close to the progressive stances of Paul. I don't really think you understand the gravity of the situation. Aside from your misrepresentations.1 End War on Drugs. 2 End 5+ wars in ME. 3 Protect Civil Liberties. 4 End Federal Reserve. 5 ECONOMY. Oh, and of course he believes in sep. of church & state, to suggest otherwise is dumb
Is this the same RP who wrote "The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers."?
How is he in anyway progressive? This is the same person who is fine with allowing the uninsured to die of health complications, wants to remove as much regulation as possible and IIRC, wants to destroy the Department of Education and supports a flat tax rate of 10%.
@ElPueblo4 How do those have anything to do with 'progressive' positions? Can a conservative be progressive, or is it an exclusive club? How about 1-5? People don't die because they are uninsured, & they don't get dumb w/o DoE. Maybe if they didn't have to pay income tax, and the dollar wasn't devalued by the FED, they could buy their own insurance. Giving poor people's money to the gov't which squanders it by bailouts and corruption is wrong. We will be much better off managing our own money
Why doesn't the LGBT community support Ron Paul, Gary Johnson or the little-known Fred Karger instead? Also, it's slightly insulting to imply that LGBT rights are the sole, or the primary, concern of LGBT voters: the economy, any one? Also, if you oppose the DOMA, campaign for its repeal. It's unconstitutional for the federal government simply to refuse to enforce federal laws: for Cenk, a former lawyer, to applaud this, is worrying.
@SkullOfYorick Ron Paul doesn't support gay rights, he supports leaving it up to the states. Which is disastrous when you look at history. Segregation, inter-racial marriage and much more would still be the law of the land in many states without the intervention of the federal government and/or USSC. Currently the USSC leans incredibly to the right so the only hope for gay rights is through federal.
@Makosis I'm not that pessimistic. But, the main issue is surely that federal involvement in marriage (gay or straight) is unconstitutional. Ron Paul has a deep respect for individual rights. Just listen to this interview: /watch?v=zIeW0DY64bE
@SkullOfYorick It's not about being optimistic or pessimistic. It's realistic. We've already seen what happens when we leave the issue of human rights and equality up to the discretion of the states. Yes, Ron Paul talks about individual rights but he doesn't distinguish between individual rights that are hindered from the government and the ones that are enabled by the government. There is a difference.
@Makosis He doesn't want Fed Gov't (or gov't in general) to have ANYTHING TO DO with personal issues like marriage. The federal gov't is there to protect rights, contracts, interstate roads, anti-trust, sound currency, defense, and maybe some other SMALL things if we deem it so. But we can't keep paying for all the shit they do right now. (You can, but don't take my money to pay for things that don't benefit me in the slightest) They are not for legislating morality, or policing world.
@cbeebe007 You're avoiding the issue, he wants to pass "legislating morality" on to the states so he doesn't lose his libertarian credibility. History has already shown us how badly it goes when he leave human rights up to the states. He still is going to have governments doing it, he just doesn't want the blame. He doesn't support gay rights as the person I was responding to was claiming.
Ron Paul is to naive to distinguish between rights impeded by the government and ones protected by it.
@Snookiefish Your point exactly? Oh I see having someone with HIV in your country automatically means that person will do everything they can to pass it on right?
Why isn't TYT covering the story on the British soldier who butchered and murdered Iraqi and Afghanistan civilians? It's a huge story in Europe and the Middle-East right now.

I would say it goes beyond just politics. The only thing that matters in the monetary free for all market system is money, not the planet we depend on for survival, not human health, not peace, and not meeting everyone's needs. All of these things are second to money. So as long as we have an economic system based on money, everything else that we should be striving for will be secondary, and will likely not be accomplished if money cannot be made doing it (ending hunger, war, pollution, etc.)

@IHighLikePlane There will be human greed if there is money or not. Money is just the medium of exchange between two people. Unless you outlaw trading, money will always be relevent. As for those problems you listed like environment and poverty, countries like Iceland are already at that level. They have renewable geothermal energy powering the entire country, almost no poverty what so ever because they use taxes for things like green energy, healthcare, education etc. And not banks, war etc.

@coopmuch56 "They have renewable geothermal energy powering the entire country" - I agree with you but really, you want to score points with this gem? "They have renewable geothermal energy powering the entire country" - Iceland is one giant bloody volcano. They are lucky in that respect, however i doubt the story would be the same if iceland was an ordinary land mass.

@kami243n - The reason they have this free energy is because it's a very simple technology and they live on a fucking volcano. No great special forward thinking, it is not the example you were looking for. There are plenty of nations far more adept at engineering and energy development than Iceland, take Germany for example. Oh wait.... They don't live on an active volcano do they. Your example is just plain stupid.

@coopmuch56 Not true, people who've spent any time studying Human behavior know that virtually all behaviors are reinforced from the environment. People learn to be greedy they aren't born that way. Automation can easily make trade obsolete. If we applied our technology we could easily have an abundance of every human need. Even in Iceland there are people without energy because you can't make money creating a surplus of anything, thus poverty is inevitable. Watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward.
IHighLikePlane 3 months ago
@IHighLikePlane I've seen all of the Zeitgeist movies, and I agree with the problems they list but not the solution. The venus project is just 6th stage communism or pure communism. Its nothing new. You're relying the whole system on people not being greedy. You cant possibly make trading obsolete, if a painter wants to make a career out of doing what he loves and sell painting, hes going to trade. Where there is trade there is money.
coopmuch56 3 months ago
@coopmuch56 Saying you don't like it because its communism (which it isn't), doesn't discredit it in any way. Thats simply name calling. If you don't like it tell me why it won't work.
There is no "human nature" this has been proven by B.F. Skinner and many other behavioral scientists. If people's needs are met, and they all have equal access to resources then greed becomes a non issue.
Look, you cannot meet everyone's needs in a money market system, because scarcity equates to profits.

@IHighLikePlane Pure communism : "there are no governments, laws, or nations any more, all social classes disappear, everyone works for everyone else, there is no money or private property, all goods are free to be consumed by anyone that needs them." Sounds pretty much exactly what the venus project is doesnt it? When the means of production are controlled on a central level, it only takes one person to gain control of the monopoly and manipulate and exploit the people.
coopmuch56 3 months ago
@coopmuch56 Nope, communism as described by Marx is the lifting up of the labor class, an RBE seeks to eliminate the labor class through automation. Communism also used money, militaries, government, and political leaders. An RBE has none of those things. Sure there are a few things in common with communism, but thinking they are the same because of that is an overly simplistic view.
There is no centralized power structure to "gain control" of.
What you advocate is unsustainable.

@IHighLikePlane You are talking about the 5th stage of communism,that why I told you about the 6th stage of communism or its also called "pure communism".
"There is no centralized power structure to gain control of."
Of course there is who is the one producing all the goods? The ones who produce dont just han out all there goods for free, so it has to be centralized or else one person would think he deserves more for the work they put in. It has to be a monopoly where everyone pitches in.
coopmuch56 3 months ago
@coopmuch56 Its a participatory democracy using science to arrive at decisions. Anyone can volunteer to invent a good, share it, form a group, design the production method, chose the most efficient design, and make it fully recyclable and upgradable.
No power structure, just people volunteering to come up with the most efficient sustainable goods. All goods are free, we already have the tech for an abundance of human needs.
Call it what you like but our survival depends on sustainability.

@IHighLikePlane You need to take som economics classes or something because you are missing the whole economic calculation problem. Who produces all the food?

There has to be a gain, a motivation to put the work in. What isnt sustainable about contries like Iceland? Please tell me

@coopmuch56 Modern economics isn't empirical in any way, its more of an ideological religion than true economics in the literal Greek meaning of the word.
There is no "guy working all day on his farm". You need to go watch "Our technical Reality", because you must have no idea of the state of our technology. Farming can be almost entirely automated and self sustainable using hydroponics and robotics.
Iceland like any money economy requires continual growth and consumption (unsustainable).

Ron Paul is more progressive than Obama, so YES, he is the most progressive choice for 2012. His positions are 'progressive'. End Fascism, Drug Wars, Real Wars... promote civil and individual rights, stop Keynesian economics, etc.

3. No to healthcare for everyone
4. Doesn´t believe in the use of separation of church and state
5. Governments shouldn´t help the people who need it (like his retarded comment on the debate discussing the suggestion of a man in a coma)
As I said, Ron Paul is a great, honest Republican and Libertarian but he is NOT a progressive in the term used today, it´s simply a false statement.

Giving poor people's money to the gov't which squanders it by bailouts and corruption is wrong. We will be much better off managing our own money

Why doesn't the LGBT community support Ron Paul, Gary Johnson or the little-known Fred Karger instead? Also, it's slightly insulting to imply that LGBT rights are the sole, or the primary, concern of LGBT voters: the economy, any one? Also, if you oppose the DOMA, campaign for its repeal. It's unconstitutional for the federal government simply to refuse to enforce federal laws: for Cenk, a former lawyer, to applaud this, is worrying.
SkullOfYorick 3 months ago
@SkullOfYorick Ron Paul doesn't support gay rights, he supports leaving it up to the states. Which is disastrous when you look at history. Segregation, inter-racial marriage and much more would still be the law of the land in many states without the intervention of the federal government and/or USSC. Currently the USSC leans incredibly to the right so the only hope for gay rights is through federal.
Makosis 3 months ago in playlist More videos from TheYoungTurks
@Makosis I'm not that pessimistic. But, the main issue is surely that federal involvement in marriage (gay or straight) is unconstitutional. Ron Paul has a deep respect for individual rights. Just listen to this interview: /watch?v=zIeW0DY64bE
SkullOfYorick 3 months ago
@SkullOfYorick It's not about being optimistic or pessimistic. It's realistic. We've already seen what happens when we leave the issue of human rights and equality up to the discretion of the states. Yes, Ron Paul talks about individual rights but he doesn't distinguish between individual rights that are hindered from the government and the ones that are enabled by the government. There is a difference.
Makosis 3 months ago
@Makosis He doesn't want Fed Gov't (or gov't in general) to have ANYTHING TO DO with personal issues like marriage. The federal gov't is there to protect rights, contracts, interstate roads, anti-trust, sound currency, defense, and maybe some other SMALL things if we deem it so. But we can't keep paying for all the shit they do right now. (You can, but don't take my money to pay for things that don't benefit me in the slightest) They are not for legislating morality, or policing world.
cbeebe007 3 months ago
@cbeebe007 You're avoiding the issue, he wants to pass "legislating morality" on to the states so he doesn't lose his libertarian credibility. History has already shown us how badly it goes when he leave human rights up to the states. He still is going to have governments doing it, he just doesn't want the blame. He doesn't support gay rights as the person I was responding to was claiming.
Ron Paul is to naive to distinguish between rights impeded by the government and ones protected by it.
