GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1st President of the U.S.A Farewell Address, Sep. 17, 1796
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
guys have you lot checked out the TZM... seriously its like what Chris rock is saying now... but it goes into so much more detail... personally it was an eye opening experience
the point is...too many people vote that know nothing about what they are voting for! they tow the party line. how many black people are pro gay? not a lot but they vote for a pro gay party...how many whites are pro gay...a lot and they vote for a pro gay party! my point is...people are gay! they should have a party! I'm not gay so I don't vote for that party! I want hot chicks at my party and Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton aren't Hot! I'm very shallow by the way...lol
Without the truth, there can be no real morality, justice, equality, success, freedom, love, security, peace, spirituality or even survival. To seek the truth, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says.
Lack of engagement by the populace is the primary social problem we have with politics in developed "western" countries from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada etc
This is SO true! I know people who will vote for a ticket of Satan and Hitler if that is who is running for their party. Just so you don't jump to any conclusions- I know Republicans and Democrats who do this, it is not limited to one party or the other.
Common sense: it's called "libertarian". To the extent you have it, you're a decent person. To the extent you want to control other people, you're a dipshit.
He forgot to say "Libertarians are idiots" . Oh, oops! That's because we're not! (And I don't mean the fake libertarians, like Bob Barr and Ron Paul.) Read Rothbard and Lysanders Spooner, and Marc Stevens (or watch Stevens on youtube!) Libertarians have the US political system figured out! :D
@libertarianjury He did imply that libertarians are idiots, when he said that anyone who makes up their mind before they hear about an issue is an idiot. He clearly thinks that all people with ideologies are idiots. And yes, Libertarians have some really, really STUPID stances. They also have some very sensible stances. I agree with the libertarians on almost all social issues, but on fiscal issues i don't.
Amen to what he says about people jumping on board with a candidate without doing any research on them. I've thought people who do that are idiots for years.
Only one dislike. Enough said about the politics of today. We're all quarreling around wrong issues. Conservative and liberal attitudes had their role after the French and other revolutions. Now it's time for everyone to accept both liberal and conservative attitudes as inherit parts of a person. The future politics will be fought on the fields of sustainable vs. unsustainable, natural vs. hyper technical production and decentralism vs. centralism. That's how I see it.
@BeLiketheSquerrl well the defination of crime is some1 who is preforming an act tht is aganist the law , u cn define crime as tht if u wnt , bt ur wrong . bt hey i have no problem wiv prostitution i think it absolutly shudd b legal nd i think ur defination of crime is wht crime shudd be , bt it still it's nt the defination of crime
@MatthewLedZepfan yes and it was funny , but i,m just commenting on his joke . I,m not trying to disagree with him I,m just pointing out somthing that maybe he should have given more thought to .
Demacrat damn it!!! I am a Democrat, Obama is a Democrat. Why the hell are the Democrat are always cleaning up the economy after those damn Republican!!?? You know, Bush screwed up so much, he made it hard for a white guy to become president!
You can not compare him to George Carlin. Geoge was much more modest and his humor was coming from the long life experience and thousands of wise thoughts. Chris is hungry for fame and you can see that he was taking part in the presidential campaign. George C. would told you that the politics is rotten and it is waste of time to vote and he would be right as Obama turned out to be marionette with great rhetorical skills but still marionette.
soooooo true...that's the fundamental problem affecting this country that is bringing down democracy here.
in fact what he's saying i read in my political psychology textbook. The problem is non-issue voting, and that people vote on most superficial issues, or on the looks of the prez, or on pre-established party allegience, and this is undermining everything democracy is about.
@hhead19 what you said makes sense except for one thing - remember we are a REPUBLIC... not a democracy. Or at least we were supposed to be, and we are now a democracy, which ALWAYS leads to Monarchy.
@Bulldog22031 while I have to agree that a republic isn't a democracy, since when does a democracy lead to a monarchy? Hell, please tell me, in what country in this planet that has happened, so I can become a more wise person, since as far as experience goes, it happens the other way around...
@hhead19 The united states is a constitutional republic. It's not a democracy. The only democratic aspect is the voting system. the constitution and bill of rights is what our country needs to stand by.
