  • Ignorance is bliss

  • Incorrect about women being oppressed in Iran or anywhere else for that matter.

  • Internet is becoming less of a luxury and more a common utility. Just like electricity and water, the government should be laying down the fiber optic infrastructure to american homes. Those lines should then be leased to PRIVATE companies to provide internet service and compete for our money.

    We need to get rid of those local monopolies granted by the government. Americans are being raped by local cable ISPs for internet compared to the rest of the world.

  • Well said.

  • he does not deny the holocaust...retard. it was a mistranslation.

  • ahmadinejad actively denied the holocaust until he was finally called out on it by European officials. in fact he held a conference in tehran whose focus was to promote holocaust denial "the invitees seem to have included David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader; Georges Theil, a Frenchman who has called the Holocaust "an enormous lie"; and Fredrick Toeben, a German-born Australian whose specialty is the denial of Nazi gas chambers."

  • Grow up

  • I wana own my own interwebs

  • An environmental religion? Good point. How would it measure up to other religions?

    Your Jewish pronounciation is bang on. Kudos. Are you a Jew?

    Great USA versus Iran comparison.

    You say "if you make a comment on the Huffington Post, chances are you are a total lunatic". Then by your own assertion your views and post of February 4th qualifies.

  • we need to keep hearing about the FDR failure, and how B. Hussein Obama is going to mimic this failure.

  • rewrite history.

  • Phenomenal video. FDR's spending, as any other government spending on on-essential government services, those that protect our rights and uphold out liberty, always damages the economy. Government spending has built into it either higher taxes, government debt, or inflation, all of which hurt our economy. Let's not forget the massive amounts of waste always associated with a government spending plan.

    This video got you a new subscriber.

  • He was a drunken fool who didn't have a clue, drunk with power he thought he had, didn't know when to stop. The Army-McCarthy hearings he was put in his place by the distinguish Boston attorney Joseph N. Welch with the immortal words: "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

    "The American people have had a look at you now for six weeks. You're not fooling anyone, either." -- Senator Stuart Symington

  • Odd. FDR's policies which you claimed failed during the Great Depression actually increased the size of our GDP by 7-9% per year during the depression. In today's economic terms, we call that kind of GDP growth India and China combined. Furthermore, when the depression started unemployment was around 25% -- twenty-five percent! Think about that for a minute. During the 1930s under FDR, that rate decreased drastically. These are basic economic indicators. Look it up, get your facts straight.

  • Unemployment virtually hadn't changed by 1941. GDP hadn't improved significantly either.

    GDP only increased because of private enterprise and FDRs policies were thwarting that.

  • Wow, were were you when your boy George Bush was pissing away all of America's money to big rich corps.

    Nothing like seeing another non serving self rightous republican push "American " values.

    Take a history course and then evaluate FDR. Your a no nothing republican apologist who backed BOY BUSH. You love Bush, and trash FDR. Shows you what kind of loser you are.

  • I will pay you $100 if you can find one quote of me praising Bush's economic policy.

    Also, the Democrats were the ones who supported the bailout of Wall Street, not the Republicans.

  • waw you really hate obama...looks like the zionist jews really have a problem with the 'Swarthze' eh? maybe thats why the israeli's moved on Gaza quickly before the 20th jan ....maybe...hoping to involve Iran in the conflict and thus really screwing up Obama's first week in office.???.wouldn't surprise me if bush set the white house on fire just before slamming the door behind him

  • Wouldn't have anything to with with rockets fired at their homes for months.

  • We're both adults here and I think as well as you do rockets, mortars and missiles have been flying over the borders from both sides, the "he started - no they started" discussion isn't going to bring any solutions to the problem...Because anyone proclaiming invading Gaza with such abundant force is making the Israeli's safer you are a bigger threath to Israel then any crazy mollah...

  • There is no solution to a death cult like Hamas.

  • yeah and neither are your mantra's a solution.

    lets hear the one were you complain about the whole world hating the Jews again,arabs want to kill us, God gave us the land 5000years ago, we are the choosen people, oh come off it...you might have gotten away with it 10 years ago, but people can find the answers themselves these days...if they arent too lazy off course .there is no justification for firing cluster and phosphorous bombs on populated areas. POINT!

  • Look, just say that you hate the jews and get it over with.

    Israel has nothing to do with 5000 years ago. Jews were living there from 1900 to today, and created a Country after 1947.

    In 1947, there were no Palestinian Refugees until after Jordan and Egypt attacked Israel with Syria, the Palestinians fled, and Israel unexpectedly won.

    Every Country was created the same way that Israel was, but of Course only Israel has no right to exist because you hate jews.

  • He had no idea what was going on he mention it once and during the paranoid commie witch hunt era like throwing mud against the wall it stook. Back then if you were fighting for civil rights you were a commie. Fortunely we have evolved and progressed as a society. Unlike conservatives who are backwards.

  • Typical right-wing geberish... Stick to talk radio.

  • So you are saying the Venona Papers legitimize Joseph McCarthy?  Are you serious???

  • Aparently this bozo doesn't know what the word "fact" means. LOL.

  • FDR's programs indeed prolonged the Depression, and if some of the posters here rely on their left-wing biased education, you were grossly misinformed. Just do your own research and you'll find out the truth about FDR. Same thing with the McCarthy hearings....your high school teachers probably taught you that McCarthy was a paranoid schizophrenic witch hunter. Do the research on your own. High eschelons of our own government were infested with Communists, traitors, Soviet spys, etc.

  • We can debate FDR but McCarthy? He was a politcal opportunist and a phony. You flush your credibility down the toilet defending him.

  • Read the Venona Papers. Then you can judge McCarthy.

  • There are alot of clowns who think Adolf Hitler was a swell guy, if Joseph McCarthy is your hero fine. But don't attempt to rewrite history -- doesn't work....

  • So we need Viagra to win Afghanistan. K.........

    This systems are stupid. An easy way to win Afghanistan or as i say "liberate" it is we need to pull Iraqi troops out and create an independent Kurdish nation. The Kurd's hold almost 300,000 troops. send military instructors and supplies and can hold Iraq. Then half of those troops can head toward the afghan nation and help with "liberation."

  • As an economist, you would FLUNK any and all courses. You are dead wrong about FDR. This is about the silliest video, I've seen on YouTube.

  • Glad you declared so by fiat...care to disprove anything I said?

  • Care to prove anything you said on that?

    You declared him wrong equally by fiat

    nonetheless,

    Right on re the CO2 scam

    Broadband nonsense

    and retesting over 75

    The problem is Obama is not going with either Keynes or the austrians (at least not in practise)

    He is going with good old crony capitalism

    The Keynesian thing would be to poor money in the real economy and bail out homeowners rather than banks

    The Austrian thing would be to let the banks go bust

  • Your declarations "by fiat" are all right but mine are not? What a hypocritical pundit you are little man.

  • flunk economic courses run by goverment funds huh...hmmm I wonder why the schools parise FDR? O wait thats right FDR glorified the government and the schools are run by the government, conflict of interest?? If you are an economist that is just pathetic. You and the rest of your Keynesian ilk need to stop masquerading as economists and let real economists talk, such as Hayek, Hazlitt, Rothbard. The Austrian economists are right, and Keynes is WRONG. Read Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson.

  • Just wanted to say that I love your posts. I'm a proud gay man and, though I know that I don't have ALL of the rights/freedoms that I should as a natural born tax paying citizen, I DO have it far better than I would if I lived elsewhere. Democrat?....NEVER!

  • HuffPo commenters are braindead. I'm not surprised at anything they post.

  • I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. The New Deal did not in any way prolong the Great Depression.

    The national banking regulation and other oversight programs kept money stabilized and avoided any ultra-inflation (what was occurring around the world); not to mention it kept banks open and lending available while reforming business practices that were either inefficient or corrupt. (see: standard work week, child labor, union reg.)

    The social programs...kept people alive.

    You cite pigs and cotton?

  • Ridiculous you say. Hardly. New Deal taxes were major job destroyers during the 1930s, prolonging unemployment that averaged 17%. Higher business taxes meant that employers had less money for growth and jobs. Social Security excise taxes on payrolls made it more expensive for employers to hire people, which discouraged hiring.

    Poor people suffered from other high-minded New Deal policies like the Tennessee Valley Authority monopoly. Its dams flooded an estimated 750,000 acres.

  • Ok, I'll play the devil's advocate. Even if you can quantify how many more jobs would have been created had payroll taxes been less, what we do know is how many people benefited from soc. security and unemployment benefits and unionization laws.

  • Yeah, benefited but at what cost. The cost out weighs the benefit. The people who pay into Social Security are poorer than the people who benefit. You could have a better system than Social Security without having the government pull its ponzi scheme on people. Just ask anyone who solely relies on Social Security and nothing else and see if they think its a benefit. They will say NO.

  • Mr. smart pants, what about the production of heroin in Afghanistan increased by 30 times since USA and UN took it over from Russia? What about USA Catholic church importing priests from outside of USA. Talk about outsourcing and immigrants poured into the USA and taking our jobs away, and it is not just blue colar workers, it is doctors, computer programmers, priests and engineers. What about the education of USA being the lowest in developed countries.

  • Priests?

  • Congratulations on becoming the 16th Most-Subscribed Director for this month. :-)

  • wake up at lewrockwell. com

  • Libs always try to spend money we don't have but its funny how they try to hide the truth buy just saying its a right wing talking point. We try to get it through people's heads but nothing.

  • But we have to DO something! How would the sun rise in the morning without the government telling it to? Haha

    Even if all politicians are too stupid to understand simple economics, they ought at least obey Jefferson's idea that, "Delay is preferable to error."

  • FDR: economic terrorist (Ed. Note: rhetorical trickery. Terrorist has no meaning.) I'm in favor of intelligence testing before voting or holding office. Every person who votes should have to pass a reading comprehension test and ace a section on rhetorical trickery, with a section on logic and economics. Every politician should be required to read Basic Economics, The Fatal Conceit, Economics in One Lesson, and Human Action over and over and over and over and over and over again.

  • The lighting through out this video was horrible film it fast or keep it consistent continuity matters.

  • I did film it in under 20...the lighting was from a window outside that kept getting cloud cover.

  • San Fran...is not only the gay zone...its also freak zone....lol

    great video...newsguy!!!

  • Great News Show, thank you!

  • lol

  • just wait till carbon offsets will be inculded in the pirce of a ticket... Damn wish people would pay me... I'll offset enough carbon to cover the whole state of NY.

  • douchbag of the day = lightweight of the week

  • Yeah...because nobody came up with anything like that before.

    Worst Person in the World...etc.

  • im just saying, think of something creative... like a video of the week, or a blooper of the week (not from failblog), but if you really want to get more subscribers, you gotta think of something to get people to want to watch your videos. People depend on sxephil for all the funny news out there, so you gotta find a niche that will make people coming back. Your show is good, but it needs a little "kick" to get it going.

  • I have an idea:

    When someone is in the top-30 subscribed Directors category this month, and makes a video with over 30, 5-stars ratings in 5 hours, maybe he knows what he's doing.

  • Well said.

  • excellent commentary 5 stars and subscribed.

  • Thanks.

  • Interesting videos, thanks for adding me as a friend and whatnot.

  • Thanks.

  • When it comes to the economy does anyone really know what to do?

  • I do:

    1) Abolish all federal taxes (corp., cap. gains. payroll, income) and replace it with a 23% consumption tax;

    2) Repeal the bailouts;

    3) Wait.

  • has that been tried before?

  • consumption taxes are counterproductive - our government's ability to maintain itself would fluctuate with the economy and supply/demand would make it ineffective. (see: economy now) Especially in recessions.

  • Wow, you're a real genius.

    Are you seriously going to argue that the government doesn't lose revenue from our current system during economic downturns?

    Who pays income taxes when unemployment rises?

  • Excellent rant. Keep 'em coming. And stay away from the Huffington Post, as nothing good can ever come from that place.

  • great vid. 5 stars!! its funny how liberals think FDR was so great. We're still stuck with some of the failing social programs started with that idiot.

    And if Obama gets even a fraction of his moronic ideas to happen, our nation will surely go bankrupt. good job liberals voting that fraud from kenya into the white house. when this country fails we will know who to blame.

  • I know...Freddie and Fannie turned out great.

  • yeah and people blamed President Bush for that while Chris Dodd and Bawney Fwank told us those companies were doing great and Franklin Raines was helping to get Obama elected. Meanwhile the driveby media lied to us, getting tingly feelings up their legs every time obama spoke. If i get a tingly feeling when Obama speaks I'll know I'm having a stroke.

  • I know! The Dems blame the Reps for trying to "deregulate" Freddie and Fannie, yet the are vids on YouTube showing Reps pushing for more regulation and Dems opposing it.

  • Yep were still paying of the debt left over from the New Deal era.

  • And Hoover would have been so much better!

  • I don't know about that but I do know that Obama is a crook a liar and a fraud. lol how many of his cabinet now are under investigation? i'm losing count.

  • Are you talking about Bush?

  • I see you failed English in school didn't you? that is rhetorical by the way, an answer isn't required or desired.

  • Well "Prof." Cook, it sounded like you were talking about the Bush Administation. But since you are of the "superior intellect" how could I have been mistaken...

  • hamshow how could you have been mistaken? ignorance would be my guess :)

  • Very easy Prof. Cook,a crook, liar, and a fraud. Could be Nixon but that was a long time ago.

  • lol. Nixon. He was honest compared to Bill Clinton, much less barack HUSSEIN obama.

  • Nixon honest??? Compare Watergate to sex or Whitewater. Whitewater? That was a joke.

  • compared to obama and clinton, richard nixon was an eagle scout and maybe a saint.

  • Viagra? My god! Stupid carbon credits.

  • AARP is in the auto insurance business. They cover millions of drivers over 50. They have alot of clout with the lawmakers in Washington.

    Yes, they are a disgrace!!

  • Well done.

  • HowTheWorldWorks, what's with the lighting for this video? In parts of it, the lighting makes your face look purple. :-P

    Did you see the YouTube video "David Sirota Kicks Stossel Ass"? Sirota tries to smear John Stossel as a "smarmy-looking liar." Sirota makes that accusation without providing a shred of evidence that Stossel knowingly said something untrue. Does Sirota not know the definition of "liar"? Fortunately, the rational debaters got the last word in the video's text comments. :-)

  • Yeah, I was using light from outside, but it kept on getting cloudy.

  • Excellent commentaries. :-)
