@alecton Funny how you are puttin words in my mouth. I have 24 videos and none of them espouse anything you've said here. Political views aren't cookie cutter. There is no mold. You vote for a candidate/side because you agree with their stances more. But it doesn't mean you adapt every viewpoint.
I want less government... BUT I want women to give up their right to choose... I want less government BUT I want to tell people who to love.... I want less government BUT I want to tell people to believe in Jesus... I want less government BUT I want the middle class to pay higher taxes than the wealthy... I want less government BUT I want to invade countries... I want less government BUT I want prayer in school... I want less government BUT I want to rewrite history books for elementary schools.
Aww, come on. Conservatives are for LESS government? That's just bullshit. Laws on abortions are pretty much a slam to the face for all women by the law. So don't give me that crap.
You're a conservative because you like the power of the individual? You're talking about the 1%, right? The same Republican cronies that believe in "trickle down economics", when it did not work in the days of Hoover, Taft, Reagan, or Bush? Same people right?
More power to the individual, eh? Yes, let's be opposed to federal involvement, preach individual power, yet want to ascribe anti-homosexual and anti-abortion legislation at the federal level. Those are the powers of the individual. The government should get out of the way, right? Also, are you blind? You do realize Occupy Wall Street was a retaliation at the bureaucratized banking perpetuated by Republican?
@mohammednashawi Funny how you are claiming to know what I believe despite the fact that I've never posted about homosexuality, abortion, social issues here on youtube. Good job, sir. Good job. And of course I know about OWS and the history of it. Regardless of their political stance, conservatives should champion their Constitutional right to free speech. Don't place everyone in a box dude. Politics isn't a check list.
OWS is not a conservative movement, nor is it an example of the "power of the individual". It's the complete opposite actually, it's a collectivist movement.
smaller government, until they get right up into your bedroom and want to legislate who you can sleep with, and what to do with you body... A lot of republicans today (not in the past) are hypocrites
CONGRATULATIONS! ON YOUR WIN AT CPAC!!! I was there when they p'ayed your video and gave you first place. I was so excited and proud of you! Keep up the good work! You should check out the Leadership Institute which has many programs for young people.
@The22cool THANKS SO MUCH! That's awesome! It's incredible to me that a few people there watch my videos! I appreciate your encouragement! :) I'll be sure to check them out! I attended a few of their programs at CPAC! Thanks again!
@SeanIacono Hey! Sorry! I'm just now reading this! Thanks so much! I actually left immediately after Sarah's speech cause I had an commitment to be at today and it's an 11 hour drive for me! I wish I could have come though and I hope you guys had a great time! Thanks again! And I hope that you enjoyed CPAC!!!
@CraigMetalHead No, because I believe in individualism and the power of the individual compared to a larger government. The Conservtive track record is much better than Obama's failed record. No, I would not call myself gullible. Yeah, the conservative movement isn't perfect, but for me it's better than the alternative.
Wait, you are a Conservative because... people exist? Thats the only point you made that isnt provably untrue, I am not going to coddle you and say good job buddy you said things like some of these other people. Look at the Con track record... it isnt one for Individual Liberty, thats just the lie they feed you if you are gullible enough to believe it.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is still putting its shoes on.
The "individual" attitude of the United States is behind the deaths of millions upon millions upon millions. Why do you think no one in the world likes the United States?
"Because they hate our freedoms."
Yes the freedom to be unemployed. The freedom to be censored. The freedom to work your life away as a corporate slave. The freedom to be oppressed by a fanatical religious framework. The freedom to go to war on your nations whim. The freedom to starve.
@superlucci You have to eat. Thus you have to work for some sort of corporation. Before you cite the few Americans that do not, keep in mind that is the great minority of Americans who work or own small businesses.
And who controls the government? Corporations, the ultra wealthy, etc.
@CommunistCritic You have to die. Its only natural. Just like eating, its only natural.
You dont have to work for some sort of corporation, you can start up your own business. The only reason most people dont do it is because they arent skilled enough to do so. Or better yet, go invest.
When you have a choice in the matter, you are automatically not a slave. Just because probability will say you do this thing, doesnt mean your a slave.
Its up to the president whether they succumb to corps
@superlucci Inability to make a decent living? Come to a town where jobs were sold to China and say that, you have a lot of nerve.
Man comes along, finds resource like oil, says "I own this exclusively, if you want to use it you have to pay me a fee". Then forces everyone to work for him or pay a fee that wants to use this natural resource = Capitalism = "free"
Government giving people basic assistance so they can eat = Socialism = slavery.
@CommunistCritic Your acting like in a free market, somebody can have a monopoly, thats impossible. Because no government law or privilege would be telling somebody else they cant compete.
A man does not simply stumble over oil and automatically gets it, how simple minded is your thinking?
Taking money from the productive and giving it to the unproductive is socialism.
People are better off than they were 50 years ago, and thats due to the free market aspect of capitalism
@superlucci Fact: Free Markets do not exist. Fact: An Oligopoly is just as dangerous as a Monopoly.
"A man does not simply stumble over oil and automatically gets it." That explains Manifest Destiny, the Cononlizations of Africa, Asia, and South America right?
"Taking money from the productive and giving it to the unproductive is socialism." Ignorant Americans not reading Karl Marx but claiming to know what Socialism is, is retarded.
@CommunistCritic Fact. Elements of Free Markets do exist. Fact. An Oligopoly cannot happen in a free market because competition would ensure that there will always be a way for small businesses to start up.
We were talking about America in a free market, we arent talking about colonization.
Karl Marx basically said according to a mans needs. But it involves government force of taking money and giving it to somebody else, thats exactly what a socialist country does.
@CommunistCritic Am I saying that free markets were the only greatness tha America had? No of course not, but it sure wasnt government telling people what they ca or cannot do in the private maket that did that.
Life expectancy can be a result of factors, not relating to a free market.
In america, we are obese and dont take care of ourselves, so that lowers life expectancy, but our healthcare is better than Cuba. Go look a cancer survival rates. The US is number 1
@superlucci So if it isnt Free Markets, and it isnt Government, what is it? Fairies?
Exactly, like the fact there is less pollution and violent crime in Cuba.
Cuba has far better healthcare I invite you to look at the UN statistics on the matter and the fact that the US has a higher per capita cancer survival rate is not impressive because the US has far more cases of work induced cancers like mesothelioma than other countries thus a higher survival rate for them.
@CommunistCritic Their standard of living is lower than the United States. They dont have close to the amount of freedom and liberty we have. That already tells you living in America is better than Cuba.
Cuba does not have better healthcare are you fucking kidding me?
So lemme get this straight, we have more cases of cancer in this country, as opposed to Cuba, yet we still have a higher percentage of actually treating it?
@CommunistCritic What are you talking about? What is a Cononlization? Drop the fucking bong and get your mind straight. Other than intellectual discussion, why should any American read Karl Marx? We are a Democratic Republic based upon capitalism. Capitalism and the free market doesn't work or exist? Take a look at Bulgaria for example. Tell me that hasn't worked well for them. Tell me the U.S. isn't the greatest experiment in politics for freedom of a nation.
What is democratic about 1% controlling 48% of the wealth? What is democratic about slavery? About the only people being able to vote being white male landowners? That was what your "democratic republic" was founded on and now your "democratic republic" is the most hated nation in the world. Breaking international law to pursue business interests, overthrow sovereign governments, and murder civilians with drones.
@CommunistCritic You're an ignorant punk kid...probably some college student that listened to his Socialist teachers too much. You have no clue of how this world is working now...only that the US is horrible. If it's so bad, do us all a favor and move to Cuba!
@DickLodge68 If Socialism is so bad, never use Social Security, never use Medicare/Medecaid, never collect EBT/Welfare, never drive on roads, never use the fire department, never call the police, never go to a hospital to receive state subsidized medicine or a subsidized immunization, never go to a public university, never go to a public school, never turn on your consumers energy heater, never turn on your TV to public broadcasting channels, never listen to the radio, never use the internet.
@DickLodge68 And before you say "THATS IN THA CONSTITUTIONNN"
No its not retard all rights are reserved to the "states" in the 10th amendment. So you either accept that your society needs socialism or you drop the constitution as a whole.
@50TNCSA No, falling short to common labels designed to polarize one another makes a person an idiot. Be an individual and a free thinker or get in line with the rest of the sheeple. I don't expect you to grasp the veracity of my sentiments, so don't expect me to give a fuck about yours. Now dismiss yourself from my presence, peasant.
@stateofdaniel or you could make another channel that isn't political but simply about being a young adult, and of course funny, that either tells people to check out this channel or you tell them to check out the other channel
@stateofdaniel you have to find a starwars like situation it is a phenomenon that started in the seventies but half of the movies were made when we were little kids.
Conservatism is so many things to so many people... I am so grateful to live in this country where we are free to express ourselves, and believe in what we want to with out fear of prosecution because of it as long as it does not take freedom away from others.
@lonewolf031 You hit it right on the head. I think that we live in such a self-centered society that we forget that our rights belong to us so long as we don't intrude on the rights of others! Freedom comes with responsibility!
I will say that as a conservative you are refreshing. I don't call myself a conservative, and I'm not sure I agree with your claims in full, but I do appreciate your tone.
@stateofdaniel What about Medical Marijuana sinse i always hear people say that there against Socialized Medicine? What about Prostitution sinse i always hear people say that it's your Money and that you should spend it as you see FIT! so what about Prostitution sinse your people say that i should spend it as i see FIT? People always say that Medical decisions should be made between you and your Doctor so what about the Right to Die with Dignity?
@vixenchild333 Well, it's AWESOME to know that there are people that I don't even know who are taking the time out of their day to watch my videos! It's an awesome feeling! Plus, your comments are usually spunky haha. Also, I like hearing from people our age. I'm glad there's a wide demographic, but I've been looking at my statistics and less than 20 percent are our age. I've been trying to figure out how to get more young people watching without alienating older viewers!
@edwinfox13 Hey! No it's not. They have two separate video contests. It's too late to enter the contest on the five minute speech of "We Still Hold These Truths." However, the contest on "Why I'm a Conservative" is still open until the 27th! You should enter if you want to!
@stateofdaniel I was thinking about doing a video talking about how pokemon taught me capitalism at a young age. I don't know how it will go over at CPAC.
I was watching your video and noticed you have the pop up ads from advertisers. How did you manage that so quickly? Did you sign up for YouTube’s partnership program? They have invited me to do so, but I felt I needed to generate more videos with a bigger audience. Have you made an actual money with these YouTube videos?
@ShadowWolf514 Because "liberals" do not subscribe to liberalism, not in the traditional sense - also, having large government doesn't mean restricting freedoms, you shouldn't equate them.
Why do conservatives push for big government when it suits them?
@GigaBoost Give me an example of when conservatives push for big government. If you point to abortion that's different for murder should not be allowed (I don’t care if you think the fetus is not human. I am an adolescent does this make me any less human then an adult?). Also the unions that liberals support do attack our freedom especially the ACLU.
@GigaBoost I'd say that the more government is out of the way and the less power that the government has, then that's more power to the individual, thus making it more about conservatism.
@realworldbycj Thanks CJ! I have a friend who does video stuff like this so I'll get to film with him every once in a while, but most of the time I'll be sticking to my normal "vlog" style. It'll probably be another 2 months or so til I can do something like this production-wise again. I wish I could do it more often though! (PS---I wonder if Paul is going to drop out soon after South Carolina)...have you solidified support for anyone yet? You seemed unsure last time I asked..
@stateofdaniel I am leaning toward Santorumor Gingrich at this point. I just don't see what I'm looking for in Romney. I like some things I've heard him say about defense and spending initiatives, but overall, I like Santorum, & Gingrich.
@realworldbycj Cool. I know that you didn't like Paul and basically didn't like Romney, so I just wasn't sure if there was a preference between the other two. I'm the same. I'm torn. There are so many aspects to like and not like about all of them. It's a tough call.
Productions like this come across as sincere and believable, but more importantly, they're not someone else's style. If you're comfortable doing these types of videos and can expand on them as time goes along, I believe you just might have found your niche. Keep em comin Dan.
@jimmcmahon351 Hey, thanks for your comment and I'm glad you see it's sincere and believable! I have a friend who's great with video stuff so I'll try to film higher quality vids like this every two months or so. Hmm...does that mean you don't like my normal "vlogging" style, and if so, is there a way you think I can change it up to be better and more unique? Just wondering! Always open to suggestions and trying to make the show what viewers want to see! Hope all is well!
Good video. One thing I think distinguishes conservatives from liberals is that a consevative believes MOST individuals are capable of taking care of themselves,helping others and basically doing the right thing. Liberals seem to believe that MOST people are too stupid or just not educated enough to make the right decisions without thier help and they of course get a big charge out of feeling smarter than those they think they are helping/controlling. That is the way I see it.
@dutch04 THANK YOU for getting my point and for the compliment! When I said power of the individual, that's exactly what I meant! That the government doesn't become a nanny over people and that people are responsible for their own well being and the betterment of all around them! Yes, the government SHOULD help when it's needed, but people shouldn't rely on it as a life-source!
Another creative and wonderful video. I like the two Daniels (two shirts). I hope to see you at CPAC. Check out the Leadership Institute - it is for young people like you!!!
@The22cool Thanks for the compliment and comment! And glad you liked the concept of the "two Daniels!" Thanks for sharing about the Leadership Institute! I'll look into it! :)
@daewooparts :( I don't know why Obama ads would be on my page!!! I guess when you have a billion dollar war chest like he does they have to waste some of it in order to spend it all lol. And it's that mentality that's made him the most EXPENSIVE and debt-accruing president ever!
@hooplablahblahblah HAHAHAHA. I wish I could thumbs up your comment 100 times. I love the lion 3-D glasses shirt! I'd wear it everyday if it weren't gross lol
Did you really post this in the middle of the night and get 6 comments in an hour? You're doing good things. One great thing about freedom is that you're allowed to think for yourself, and you do that. Kudos.
@seven7arrows Yeah, I didn't expect that to happen! I posted it at midnight cause I wanted it to be online Saturday morning when people woke up, so I was SUPER surprised to see there were already comments when I woke up this morning! Thanks! It's a blessing to see that people enjoy the videos! Hope all is going well!
I was going to say "I couldn't have said it better myself" but chuck3668831 had a good point about OWS and the Arab Spring. OWS is a bunch of sissified socialist cry-babies. Makes is look like a bunch of weak, spineless, mental midgets to the rest of the world. The Arab Spring has nothing to do with America or conservatism. We don't even know what is really happening there. We could end up with a bunch wacko, islamist, terrorist countries. The rest of it was spot on.
@stanparrish1 Glad you liked most of it! I had thought about OWS and Arab Spring...so it's interesting to see that people brought it up! I decided to include them to come across as more "fair and balanced" even though I'm clearly a conservative haha. I guess even though I included them in the list, I would definitely not put them at the same level as the Tea Party!
I call myself a libertarian because today's "conservatives" are still big goverment on things like abortion and gay marriage. I want people to have the the freedom to live their life as long as you don't hurt other people.
@skeptictom818 I agree with your last sentence. And I believe that that's what conservatives SHOULD be about. I think the party has been high-jacked by "establishment" nutjobs and it's the role of the Tea Party and constitution-loving libertarians to remind the Republican party of that before the Republicans go the way of the wigs. Cause I think they all fall under the same banner. If libertarians had to choose a lesser of 2 evils, they'd go Rep over Dem, IMO...
@stateofdaniel I'm going to be voting 3rd party unless Ron Paul get the nomination. I can't bring myself to vote for any of the other republicans and especially not Obama. It will just be more of the same no matter who wins.
Just a quick question: when you say for government to get out of the way and individuals can do whatever the heck they want, do you mean I should be able to smoke pot? Marry a dude? Sell my labor to whomever for whatever reason? Obviously, so long as I'm not victimizing anyone.
@0HippyHunter0 Yes. Government has no right to oppress individual liberties and rights. Some would say I'm a libertarian, but I think it falls under the same banner as Conservatism. If libertarians had to choose, they'd always vote Rep over Dem, so I don't see why they'd call themselves libertarian. Government HAS to exist though for some sort of framework, but it wasn't meant to limit what we do on a day to day basis as long as we don't hurt our neighbor.
If you want to win, don't mention Occupy Wall Street and the "Arab Spring" as being about individualism. Occupy Wall Street is nothing but a socialist anarchist movement. Socialists aren't about individual rights. The Arab Spring is really an Arab nightmare as everything in the Middle East usually is. It is a movement away from secular dictatorship into theocratic dictatorship. What rules there in the future will make us want Qadaffi, Mubarak, and the the rest of those assholes back.
@chuck3668831 Thanks for your comment. I already submitted the video, so I can't take your suggestion into account, but I appreciate you taking the time to comment! I'm not trying to argue and I definitely see your point! I guess my counter to that would be that at least here in America people have the right to protest without having to fear government retaliation. But you're right that they have different goals from conservative.
@alecton Funny how you are puttin words in my mouth. I have 24 videos and none of them espouse anything you've said here. Political views aren't cookie cutter. There is no mold. You vote for a candidate/side because you agree with their stances more. But it doesn't mean you adapt every viewpoint.

@DickLodge68 If Socialism is so bad, never use Social Security, never use Medicare/Medecaid, never collect EBT/Welfare, never drive on roads, never use the fire department, never call the police, never go to a hospital to receive state subsidized medicine or a subsidized immunization, never go to a public university, never go to a public school, never turn on your consumers energy heater, never turn on your TV to public broadcasting channels, never listen to the radio, never use the internet.

@DickLodge68 And before you say "THATS IN THA CONSTITUTIONNN"
No its not retard all rights are reserved to the "states" in the 10th amendment. So you either accept that your society needs socialism or you drop the constitution as a whole.

Conservatism is so many things to so many people... I am so grateful to live in this country where we are free to express ourselves, and believe in what we want to with out fear of prosecution because of it as long as it does not take freedom away from others.

Hi State of Daniel:
I was watching your video and noticed you have the pop up ads from advertisers. How did you manage that so quickly? Did you sign up for YouTube’s partnership program? They have invited me to do so, but I felt I needed to generate more videos with a bigger audience. Have you made an actual money with these YouTube videos?

Power of the individual? That has nothing to do with conservatism, that's more like libertarian or liberalism.

@GigaBoost If that is true then why do liberals push for big government?
ShadowWolf514 1 month ago
@ShadowWolf514 Because "liberals" do not subscribe to liberalism, not in the traditional sense - also, having large government doesn't mean restricting freedoms, you shouldn't equate them.
Why do conservatives push for big government when it suits them?
GigaBoost 1 month ago
@GigaBoost Give me an example of when conservatives push for big government. If you point to abortion that's different for murder should not be allowed (I don’t care if you think the fetus is not human. I am an adolescent does this make me any less human then an adult?). Also the unions that liberals support do attack our freedom especially the ACLU.
ShadowWolf514 1 month ago
@GigaBoost I'd say that the more government is out of the way and the less power that the government has, then that's more power to the individual, thus making it more about conservatism.

Good video. One thing I think distinguishes conservatives from liberals is that a consevative believes MOST individuals are capable of taking care of themselves,helping others and basically doing the right thing. Liberals seem to believe that MOST people are too stupid or just not educated enough to make the right decisions without thier help and they of course get a big charge out of feeling smarter than those they think they are helping/controlling. That is the way I see it.

@dutch04 THANK YOU for getting my point and for the compliment! When I said power of the individual, that's exactly what I meant! That the government doesn't become a nanny over people and that people are responsible for their own well being and the betterment of all around them! Yes, the government SHOULD help when it's needed, but people shouldn't rely on it as a life-source!

I was going to say "I couldn't have said it better myself" but chuck3668831 had a good point about OWS and the Arab Spring. OWS is a bunch of sissified socialist cry-babies. Makes is look like a bunch of weak, spineless, mental midgets to the rest of the world. The Arab Spring has nothing to do with America or conservatism. We don't even know what is really happening there. We could end up with a bunch wacko, islamist, terrorist countries. The rest of it was spot on.

I guess even though I included them in the list, I would definitely not put them at the same level as the Tea Party!

skeptictom818 1 month ago
@skeptictom818 I agree with your last sentence. And I believe that that's what conservatives SHOULD be about. I think the party has been high-jacked by "establishment" nutjobs and it's the role of the Tea Party and constitution-loving libertarians to remind the Republican party of that before the Republicans go the way of the wigs. Cause I think they all fall under the same banner. If libertarians had to choose a lesser of 2 evils, they'd go Rep over Dem, IMO...

Just a quick question: when you say for government to get out of the way and individuals can do whatever the heck they want, do you mean I should be able to smoke pot? Marry a dude? Sell my labor to whomever for whatever reason? Obviously, so long as I'm not victimizing anyone.
0HippyHunter0 1 month ago
@0HippyHunter0 Yes. Government has no right to oppress individual liberties and rights. Some would say I'm a libertarian, but I think it falls under the same banner as Conservatism. If libertarians had to choose, they'd always vote Rep over Dem, so I don't see why they'd call themselves libertarian. Government HAS to exist though for some sort of framework, but it wasn't meant to limit what we do on a day to day basis as long as we don't hurt our neighbor.

0HippyHunter0 1 month ago
If you want to win, don't mention Occupy Wall Street and the "Arab Spring" as being about individualism. Occupy Wall Street is nothing but a socialist anarchist movement. Socialists aren't about individual rights. The Arab Spring is really an Arab nightmare as everything in the Middle East usually is. It is a movement away from secular dictatorship into theocratic dictatorship. What rules there in the future will make us want Qadaffi, Mubarak, and the the rest of those assholes back.

@chuck3668831 Thanks for your comment. I already submitted the video, so I can't take your suggestion into account, but I appreciate you taking the time to comment! I'm not trying to argue and I definitely see your point! I guess my counter to that would be that at least here in America people have the right to protest without having to fear government retaliation. But you're right that they have different goals from conservative.
