Nick Gillespie, Matt Welch, John Stossel: The Declaration of Independents

[Ddstairclimber]

Libertarian  party!!!

[alauc]

We need Freedom, neither dependance nor independents! Love too! Are we capable to create such politics, where Love and Freedom will win?

[killerbee2k]

@alauc Politics is redistribution and regulation of resources, go figure

[CAJUNNSC]

John you've used the term hate us several times on several videos. Why? Who says so? You! Well I think that what you claim you were told by the media is the key! The media isn't supposed to tell you anything. It is only supposed to report the news. You yourself decide the outcome of the story. So do yourself a favor and us as well. Stop using the word hate and the word fear or afraid or nightmare. You work for FOX so I excuse you for being a FOXtoid not necessarily the news station.

[TheMissouriRecord]

This is a good piece. People often think non-partisan Independent means non-ideological and moderate, but that is note true. Independents are often very conservative.

[RealTime88]

John Stossel is a great American. I agree with most of what he says and I can see why competition can be good, why we sue too much and personal freedom is awesome!!! And I am a Democrat!! I have many libertarian views though thanks to Stossel!!

[squirreljester2]

The problem with the whole Acorn thing is that it was all bullshit, and the video of the fake pimp and fake hooker was so cut up, the original video in no way supported anything that their cut up video was trying to portray.

[z4nizzle]

The left hates facts. They contradict their world views.

[swinescales]

Unfortunately John Stossel is the weakest part of his show. Let Nick host it, get the Judge on ranting about the constifuggintution and then Stossel can stop by and do some TelePrompTer recital of some segment about taxes and minorities being coddled by big gu'ment. That's a fuckin show my friend.

[swinescales]

10:14 - guy in a yellow shirt on the far left of the screen, in the audience, did not like the joke about the white house being blown up... (reference from film Independence Day)

[jolulipa]

John Stossel is an ass.

[BobGeorgeAU]

Happy independents day

[smiledammit24]

Did anyone else see Zo's retarded interpretation of this?

[dabigdog377]

Democrat or Republican im a TEXAN!!!

[sleedolfine15]

I love Kennedy.

[waypasthadenough]

"...they have the guns they have our money..."

They have the guns so they can take our money. Let's put things in perspective.

The Founders wrote the Second Amendment so we could keep our money from the commies and republicrats' black hole.

What will you do when it’s time to hunt NWO hacks, republicrats and commies(“Liberals” and ‘progressives’)?

Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first.

The voting booth: A suggestion box for slaves.

[oilhammer04]

The way I see it, the Libertarians can't decide whether they want to vote for those who want solvency in our government or with those who want gay marriage and abortion. The election of Obama gave us a hint as to how we can expect them to vote.

[nicademus1974]

Good stuff

[Akatam0t0ma]

John Stossel FTW, statist control freaks FTL

[successfulbuild]

The Koches aren't even that smart. There's a video of David Koch on Youtube saying Global Warming is all volcano activity. Is that what they teach at MIT?

[Moragauth]

@successfulbuild Agreement with your pet theories isn't the measure of one's intelligence, as shocking as it may sound.

[successfulbuild]

George Soros is an investor who's given literally hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. The Koch Brothers didn't even earn their money on the free-market: daddy sold oil equipment to the old soviet union, gave them hundreds of millions of dollars, and they engage in one of the most regulated industries in all of America. Not only do they suck off American tax payers but tax payers around the world.

_

Anybody could have done what they did. They're wussies.

[Akatam0t0ma]

@successfulbuild:

What's that you said? Sorry, I didn't hear you. You need to take your lips off Soros' cock and head out of the butt of the whatever pet statist philosopher it's currently stuck in so I can understand you better 

[missanyhooox3]

@successfulbuild How many people suffer huge losses when Soros manipulates currency markets for his gain? He's evil.

[Moragauth]

@successfulbuild I'm not quite sure why you're so adamant on whining about the Koch brothers. Few genuine libertarians even like them. And as for Soros, he benefits immensely from the current monetary system and profited immensely off currency devaluations. So he's not much better than the Koch brothers are.

[Doublicon]

I had to double check to see if this was Fox News.

[jtizz711]

I disagree. Policeman hunt down thug terrorists. Nations go to war with other NATIONS. Going to war with a "terrorist" means the war can go on forever because we are at war with fear and that will never end. There's really no set enemy. If any person rebels against our occupancy all one would need to do is condemn them as a terrorist and poof, it becomes justifiable. Anyone see what I mean?

[ceounicom]

Also, thanks to Matt for finally putting together a suit combo that doesn't look completely retarded.

[ceounicom]

The Jacket should have been given credit for writing the book

[Thewizzardof9]

Excellent, Thank you for posting this video.

[richardcadbury]

These ppl are the hippies of the right.

[alistairproductions]

Nick please stop believing politics can work at any level

[alistairproductions]

The government should get back to it's essential business. In other words "not exist"

[kmg501]

Cyrus = disinfo agent.

[kmg501]

I belong to the Ron Paul Party.

And it's funny listening to Lieberman bitch about the downfall of American culture since it is a well established fact that it is secular progressive Jews who control popular entertainment for profit.

[bestwrmd]

good show, but can you turn up the volume a bit.

[thetimman00]

Throwing your vote away with reckless abandon and proud of it.

[Cyrus992]

Yeah.. libertarians supporting a big special interest group corporate agenda labeling themselves as Libertarians and not a whole lot different from the two-headed one party system.

Everyone boycott CATO, Reason, Heritage, etc...

They are propaganda tools of billionare corparations like Koch to let them takeover the lives of the many, support their big corporate agenda, and huge Napolitano, Stossel, and Beck as their fake libertarian puppets!

[hanzo138]

@Cyrus992 ok I'll bite; Proof?

[fredNielssen]

@Cyrus992 troll...

[Cyrus992]

@fredNielssen

Why would you even trust groups that are runned by the largest private corporation with over $40 billion dollars?

Seriously come on. Don't fall for this trap. You must work for Koch.

[jnjnelson]

@Cyrus992 Why would you distrust groups merely because the source of their funding is economically successful? It appears to me that the greater trap is condemning a corporation merely because of its economic success.

And no, I don't work for Koch, nor any other private, economically successful corporation. Not that such an affiliation should change the merits of my argument.

[Moragauth]

@Cyrus992 How could you trust a country run by a guy who has received BILLIONS from Goldman Sachs?

Oh right, special interests don't apply to (il)liberal regressives.

[Cyrus992]

@Moragauth

Did I say I trusted him. Not really.

One issue at a time. Have you noticed how these groups have been fighting so hard against public and private transit and have so much support of highways? Do you realize how this huge private corporation benefits from car-dependent cities and brainwashes people with their fake "libertarian" approaches?

You have to really look at their details to figure it out. Basically, they want a system/society that benefits large corporations mostly

[Moragauth]

@Cyrus992 We're against all subsidies. So is most libertarian research. This includes oil and car subsidies.

[Cyrus992]

@Moragauth

Oh really..probobly some of you followers, but not Koch Industries running the organizations. Since they benefit heavily from those ideas.

[Moragauth]

@Cyrus992 Quid pro quo: Everyone should boycott the liberal establishment funded by corrupt billionaires like Soros or Buffett.

Here's the thing: when you say something is propaganda without providing arguments as to why it is wrong, you're engaged in fallacious reasoning. It's one thing to acknowledge potential biases, another to bitch about something SOLELY because it is funded e.g. by a corporation. I wish more corporations poured money into the free market cause!

[EvilDandy]

Unfortunately they are repeating common misconception of the Victorians.  Check out Inventing the Victorians by Matthew Sweet. Before mass market culture there was a great deal more individual expressions than in the mid-20th century which is now changing.

[ahoblit]

John Stossel is awsome and so his is moustache!

[teranspecialist]

Waste your vote if you vote libertarian? How is voting your heart and soul a wasted vote? Voting is not about picking the lesser of the 2 evils. If you pick between evil and evil, you are still picking evil.

How do you get reelected if you don't vote for spending? Ask Ron Paul.

[Jotto999]

Rock on!

[faydean1]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!I'm sharing this with any and everyone I know, especially liberal friends of mine who are completely obsessed with telling me, who is of a conservative leaning towards government medling and control, that I'm stupid, racist, a religious nut or a war monger. Highly impressed with Fox embracing this philosophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[Xenthoid]

@faydean1 If they are calling you names, are they really your friends?

Also, i dont see how Stossel represents all of Fox.

[PrincesseJen]

You know, independence is just fine Gillespie but it seems like people are having an Aleister Crowley "Do what thou wilt" mentality to life. Which can be dangerous.

[hayesy316]

@PrincesseJen How?

[PrincesseJen]

@hayesy316 What do you mean "how?" You think having a Satanist "Do what thou wilt" mentality is going to lead you to greener pastures?

[hayesy316]

@PrincesseJen You're making the assertion here. Explain why it wouldn't.

[ih8ronpaulh8ers]

@PrincesseJen For libertarians its more like "Do what thou wilt... as long as you don't violate the rights and property of others"

[starlightcrow]

We shouldn't be fighting for Government to give its nod of approval over our relationships. We should be fighting to get Government out of the business of defining any and all types of relationships. Marriage is not something that needs or should be defined by anyone but the individual. The regulations on TAXES and or inheritance should not be based on your chosen life style... it just bugs me that people feel they need to get Government to define a life style...

[starlightcrow]

Sadly it is not creative individualism but structured chaos... it loses all it's evolving freedom when everyone is forcing individualism to the point that everyone inevitable become a blur of sameness... Colored hair, body mortification, chaotic design or disembodied fashion all becomes an expression loss of Identity..... they try so hard to be different that they all end up being the same.. no matter what the course man takes it always ends the same...

[danswim11]

The government is not out of money. The government has way more money than is required to provide essential services. Government agents keep saying they are out of money because their desire to spend more money is insatiable.

[threepercenter03]

The Left is pasta with tomato sauce, the Right is pasta with clam sauce, Libertarian is the salad bar.

[CurtHowland]

There will be no true market in education until or UNLESS that money can be cashed by the parents who homeschool.

[CurtHowland]

Hope this video doesn't get blown off the air by Fox like all the others.

[DasGuntLord01]

"Have you ever slept with a prostitute? Are you addicted to cocaine?" Does this remind anyone else of Scientology's "What are your crimes?"

[98nafets]

I think you guys are playing up the independent thing too much. Independents are only sometimes aligned with libertarian ideals. Even the opening video showed that. Do you guys really lump yourself in with Bernie Sanders and Bill O'Reilly? Saying you're independent is almost a fashion statement at this point.

[TombaFanatic]

@98nafets Still better than the two party system. Break that up and it's easier to introduce libertarian ideas and show that the 49 vs 51 percent mentality doesn't make sense.

[ryanpmurphy]

@98nafets The point of the episode is to show that people deciding their view on issues based on their own standards is preferable to deciding which party to follow blindly. I would much rather see liberals who are thinking individuals than those that now blindly follow Obama down any path just because he is there guy. I prefer the Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and Russ Feingolds over Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama or Bill Clintons. Even Bill O'Reilly is better than the average Republican.

[XCritonX]

Democrat or Republican? No I am human.

[furyofbongos]

@XCritonX  +1

[stabbed22]

@XCritonX What does that mean? That you're content with eating, drinking and fucking?

[AshillaBeige]

@stabbed22 I can't believe you don't get it... Obviously you're too busy eating and drinking (I doubt you're doing any fucking) to practice basic cognition.
