"Raised concern!" Y can't R.Paul or any of them say HELL Fkn NO?
"The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president-and every future president-power to order the military to pick up and imprison w/out charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even R. Paul raised concerns about the NDAA detention provisions...he power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the U.S."
He spoke of facts and logically interpreted them, rather than twisting them. I don't understand, what is wrong with that. People are saying all kinds of things here. I think, it is better to read history and political philosophies before you come up and say anything to someone who has done those things already.
totally agree. USA needs to regain its moral authority by rejecting the evils promoted by the Bush-Cheney admin and implementing new fair standards[ for POWs.
Gen. Petraeus knows what he's talking about: torture is not an effective way of getting people to tell the truth - it only gets them to say what they thenk he=eee
Real conservatives would (1) cut wasteful "defense" spending --not troops & advisors in the Middeast, but stuff like deadweight army bases right here in the U.S.; (2) put the expensive & failed War on (Some) Drugs out of its misery. WoSD is the main cause of the huge nonviolent & mostly black (both laws & enforcement are unfair) "prison nation," has failed to stop drug abuse or prevent recidivism, criminalises farmers, doctors, patients.)
Policy should be evidence-based, not ideology-based.
How about "phoney global warming" robert said a few years ago that "kids in virginia dont know what snow looks like because of global warming"-now he claims global warming causes snow.LOL.LOL.LOL.LOL
Wow! Where are all the mis-led right-wing turds at on this thread? This is indeed refreshing not seeing a bunch of thinly-veiled racist posts about birth certificates, "socialism", and people using the word "liberal" like a caveman's club.
So true. Conservatism is anit-democracy, anti-freedom, anti-intellectual, anti-conscience and designed to serve the needs of the aristocracy not the people. Note to libs: know thy enemy. Conservatives have invested heavily in a campaign of distortion & deception about their real intentions & agenda, as they know the truth would never be accepted by the public.
An interesting article on their tactics all libs should read:
google: What Is Conservatism and What Is Wrong with It? Philip Agre
The problem is not with Conservatism itself, but the fact that most "Conservatives" aren't actually Conservative. Neo-Conservatism has become the new Conservatism.
As Robert Kennedy points out, the conserve has been taken out of Conservatism. Conservatism's roots are not so far off of liberal roots - and many are the same. Neo-Conservatism is more in touch with Laissez Faire Capitalism, which in practice is akin to either anarchy (not what's being proposed) or state sponsored capitalism.
Laissez Faire was originally a liberal ideology, but was abandoned because it was found to be too unstable - and it couldn't exist in its pure form because it without regulation it became corrupt. Hence why Neo-Conservatism and Neo-Liberalism are used synonymously to refer to the same thing.
The problem is that any attempt to force pure free markets always ends up giving favour to those connected with those doing the forcing.
Their history? Civil rights, Peace in Vietnam, the peace corps, alliance for progress, the space program (Alan Shepard and Neil Armstrong), and a real genuine effort to make a better world. I'd say that's a pretty damn good assessment of their history, wouldn't you? Conservatives today have lost their way. The line "Socialism for the rich" and "Capitalism for the poor" has NEVER been more true.
The Bush Reich is NOT about truth, but manipulation & fear. That's what Rumsfeld & Wolfowitz learned from Leon Strauss, Neocon Godfather who preached: Invent the Myth (Religion, false Patriotism) Invent the Enemy to control the masses with fear (whom he said would otherwise be controlled by animal urges)
At first it was "Godless Communism", now it's Islamic terrorism.
Neocons are a dying breed. People in their 40's are an outdated breed. Even if Obama will be an awful president, it was still rational to vote for him. You can blame Mccain and all the nutcase neocons for that.They made the republican ticket look like a joke. If they had no substance, then no big loss. But if their policies would be better for U.S (highly doubt it), then they are responsible for whatever wrong doing the Obama administration will produce. They simply left U.S without a choice
Are you suggesting to invade every country which does not measure up to american human rights standards. Because its a long list, north korea, russia, middle east, most of Africa,...... Do you want to invade them all? U.S are pretty hypocritical in their spread of democracy. They overthrew Sadam, but supported Musharoff in Pakistan, who overthrew the pakistani government. Iran is against the iraqy sunnis, and yet thats the main U.S enemy.
evangelical neocons are killing this country. Republicans remind me of the bolsheviks, both parties are beligerent and stand against intellectualism and rational thinking.

I sure hope Obama will finally tell the real story about his plans to warn terrorists they are under surveillance, offer immediate citizenship to illegals, and appease terrorists such as Achmadisawackjab, his friendhip with Ultra-American terrorist Bill Ayers, loving abortions, while doing everything Soros tells him . Instead, it will be more happy talk and listening to Obama talk about his single mama and Biden commuting from Washington to Delaware. The Happy Talk Express! Bwahahahaaha
I'm not defending torture nor the patriot act( I got fucked over by it myself) but the war on terror is not the cold war. The cold war by definition was not a war. No shots were fired. 3,000 Americans were killed on 9/11. Terror attacks are far from uncommon all around the world. This is a very hot war, and needs to be treated differently.
TimeWarp, you do remember Korea, the Bay of Pigs invasion, Vietnam? No shots fired? No americans killed? The Cold War costed almost a hundred thousand lifes.
A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".
"This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes."
I didn't see this study but it sounds logical. Kinda also explains theists too. Not really surprising that the two groups overlap huh? Check out the new Thomas Frank book 'Wreacking Crew" he explains the cruel intentional logic behind the righties paraniod position.
He isn't. McCain is. Cheney is a Neo Con, as is Berman, Black and Gramm -- all active in McCain's campaign and responsible for his economic policies. Transposed with McCain's name.
"Shaw" (McCain) was captured during the "Korean War in 1952" (Vietnam War in 1967). "Shaw" (McCain ) was all brainwashed into believing "Shaw" (McCain) saved lives in combat, for which he receives the Medal of Honor when he return to the US.

McCain is a Trojan Horse? Yeah....that makes sense! Why would we be worried about someone like OBAMA, who we do not know ANYTHING about? Why do you think the Leftist Media put this NYorker Cover out? It's to shame us into being silent,about asking any questions about NO'Bama! It was Hillary's gang, which started all these rumors, but we can't have Dem's looking racist, CAN YOU? I KNOW! Let's blame the Republicans! I don't want to be controlled by the DummyCraps, LIKE YOU!
What if the McCain Campaign is? You know, George Bush's 2000 campaign implied that McCain was a 'Manchurian' candidate...He could have been programed by Soviet agents.
Ok, I'm a conservative, and I agree with everything said in this video, and why shouldn't I? True conservatives would most likely agree with everything or most things said in this video.
PELOSI SUPPORTS REVIVAL OF MEDIA 'FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
Folks hang on to your panties these libs are going for a power grab of the America people. They are going to take control of every aspect of American lives If one follows what this current BATCH of libs agenda AND Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto it is almost identical. You say Bush is a fascist? When Bush is gone so is his so called Fascism. What these clowns are going to do is 'infect' America for the rest of the history of this nation!
Will somebody tell me why i should vote Democrat? Democrats allowed 2 extreme hard right-wingers on the Supreme court. Democrats allowed full funding of this useless war in Iraq. Democrats allowed the destruction of the 4th amendment of the constitution with the Fisa Act. Its amazing that President Bush with a disapproval rating of 70% just needed to wait for the Democrats to control congress to get what he wanted. Barack Obama the CHANGE CANDIDATE!!!! LOL LOL. WAKE UP AMERICA
Wow. That was excellent. He is absolutely right. Sadly, I feel that the "neocons" are in control of both parties. Look at the recent passage of the FISA bill, making it legal for the gov't. to spy without a warrant on American citizens. And the telecoms get immunity if they get a "permission slip" from the president? Too many politicians from BOTH parties have no respect for our Constitutional rights!!!
A teacher can pray alone in a classroom, as long as it dosent involve the children in a classroom!Keep your BIBLE to yourself,its funny to hear your ridiculous comments about Church and State,Public schools are funded by the STATE!!If you want prayer put your kids in PRIVATE Schools! Many people dont want their Kids subject to your Superstition and Beliefs.Unless your an orthodox JEW its not your Religion, by adding the character Jesus and calling it the New Testament dosent make it YOURS!.

This man forgets that his own father, RFK Sr. bugged the telephone of Martin Luther King. How short a liberal's memory is, especially when the full throated mental illness of Liberalism is in place.
There's nothing more liberal than the current administration, which believes in throwing away all that is good about our country is the thing to do. There's absolutely nothing conservative about that.
How many Jews who are/were in the government have dual citizen ship with Israel and/or close ties with Israeli groups? Here's a few; Michael Chertoff, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Elliott Abrams, Ari Fleischer, David Frum, John Bolton.
Neo-conservativism was started by a communist Jew. That is why so many Jews were in the Bush administration before the Iraq war. Then they all left when the war became unpopular to head other institutions like the World Bank(Wolfowitz). This shit is too good to be made up.
Alright, finally somebody is saying what I've been saying, there is NOTHING conservative about destroying our country, ruining our economy, substandard education, etc etc etc.
It's all a big lie and they are anything BUT conservative. However he's wrong, we don't live in one of the safest times, we are about to lose our last liberties in August when Bush begins his final step to extend his term of office thru a fake national emergency that he will create. Get busy letting everyone know.
according to the Bush & teh Cheney Gang bankrupting the country, torture and killing for oil are now "patriotic."
Remember last time they were talking like that in germany? One thing its good to see ( hopeful), many republicans are also horrified by where this group has taken the GOP!
hopefully a lot of people No Matter which party will be thinking about what made America great and what -who how took that away and how to TAKE AMERICA BACK. NOW THAT IS PATRIOTIC!
And thankfully in many ways tht is happening, Repubs in huge numbers are disillusioned with this neocon crap. Please spread the word, everyday, take a few minutes to pass it on, there are tons of informative videos here as well as links on some of them to alternative news sites, check them out!!
peace unto you. Take heart, don't let the bass turds win!
Neoconservatives are actually communists. The neocon movement came from czarist Russian expatriates who were followers of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky and Lenin. They came to the USA and reworked communism for an American audience. They took over the GOP during the Reagan Revolution and have been able to quietly turn the USA into a neo-communist state little by little, taking advantage of protestant religious fanaticism and obsession with Israel & Jesus to create a power base.
I agree with you. In addition, there is a fascist component. This is where corporatism comes into play. The Bush family has a history doing deals with Hitler (check Prescott Bush).
Anyway, communist or fascist = same result for us.
You are so right,everyone PAY ATTENTION TO what this person said,see all the vids here, search Prescott Bush/Nazis/gas weapons &see where it started, Prescott supplied Hitler the money 2kill with gas, and profitted from it. The nazis are alive &well,now they Rcalled the New World Order. Protest in July in DC &Europe against NWO,let everyone know &show them we R wise2their game, or Uwill lose all your remaining liberties before the election, which won't happen if we don't stand up.
During the cold war americans DID in fact do horrible things to a whole host of people. Not just their own people; who they would brand Communists and witch hunt, but those in south-east asia and the middle-east.
I've read it multiple times. I see no mention of separation of church & state in the 1st amendment or anywhere else. You obviously haven't read it, you just pretend you have but still can't back up your claim.
Separation of Church and State explains the meaning of the establishment clause of the first amendment
Jefferson used to term to explain the establishment clause in the Virgina Bill of Rights (which he wrote) which was the model for the US Bill of Rights
Thats why its relevant to the meaning of the first amendment
The "separation of church and state" doctrine is a misinterpretation of the Constitution. The First Amendment prohibition of established religion aims at forbidding all government-sponsored coercion of religious conscience. It does not forbid all religious influence upon politics or society.
Excactly! It only protects us from being forced into any state religion, period. It has been misinterpreted 2mean that we can't pray in school, etc. I personally believe that parents need 2give instruction at home, but that studying comparative religion in schools would be 1 of the best ways 2achieve harmony among different faiths &factions. Many parents R clueless so that won't likely happenit has 2B ingrained somehow that all faiths are basically the same, according to one's taste.
You can pray in school, you just can't have that prayer officially sanctioned, because that violates the establishment clause by favoring religion over no religion
Praying to a god is technically not religious. Religion does not necessarily require a god. This is why "In God We Trust" remains on our dollars, because it is a national idea that we have a creator and a god above us. The misinterpretation of the constitution is resulting in the removal of prayer from schools, "one nation under god" from the pledge, and the rights for judges to wear symbols that respect their religion.
"Praying to a god is technically not religious"...OK thats patently ridiculous, of course prayer is a religious act
Organized state prayer excludes those who don't pray thus violates the establishment clause...the lines in the pledge, on money, etc. are also violations of the establishment clause although relatively minor ones
Prayer is not a religious act. It is a spiritual act. There is a major difference. I know many people that pray, or believe in a god, but do not belong to any religion. In fact, most sane people who believe in "God" and not mankind are not religious. And where is organized state prayer going on? Would a teacher praying alone in his classroom before class be a violation? Would you like to see him in prison if he offended an atheist that walked in on him or her praying? I bet you would.
Prayer is a religious act whether its a part of a specific religion or not (just as Atheism is a religious idea despite the fact it has no religion attached)
A teacher praying alone in the classroom is not acting as an agent of the state so its not a violation...however if he does it during class it is a violation and he should be fired
(no one is jailed for praying; but there are people in the US serving jailtime for refusing to pray)
Religious means of or pertaining to a religion. You can pray without adhering to a body of persons' ideology or established church, therefore you can pray in a nonreligious context. Non-believers are not under threat. The ACLU is working hard to ensure there is no religious activity or symbols outside of the Church, gay marriage is now legal irrespective of the religious vote, and more and more policies are being made to separate Church from state. And no-one is in jail for refusing to pray.
Actually there is...a case from the midwest involved a defendant given a choice between jail time and rehab; however the only approved rehab available was one run by fundamentalist Christians (part of Bush's Faith Based Initiative) that required prayer and Bible study; the defendant was an atheist and refused to participate, and thus ended up in jail
Thats the danger of government promoting religion, people such as atheists and gays are screwed
"the defendant was an atheist and refused to participate, and thus ended up in jail"
Do you have evidence that this is true? Such as a link to an article, a date, a name, a judge, a rehab name, the fundamentalist Christians that rant he rehab?
Also, most Presidents have stated they believe in God. Obama admits to being a Christian and believes in Jesus/God, do you think the gays and atheists are in danger if Obama is elected? Religious views isn't what makes Bush dangerous, delusions are.
"Obama admits to being a Christian and believes in Jesus/God, do you think the gays and atheists are in danger if Obama is elected? Religious views isn't what makes Bush dangerous, delusions are."
Obama believes in the Separation of Church and State...Bush doesn't, which is one of the reasons that Bush is a threat to religious freedom
Its not the religion thats the issue, its government getting tied up with religion that is the threat
And even if there was such a case, just because the Atheist refused to go to a rehab that may or may have not been run by a "Christian", doesn't mean he was jailed for refusing to pray. Having the choice of staying in Jail or attending a rehab that is run by a Christian isn't the same as being forced to pray. Get your facts straight, and think before you make statements/accusations.
The rehab was centered on prayer (it was run by Chuck Colson, they got sued and Iowa dropped its contract with Colson's group because of the publicity)...the choice inmates have is pray, and get a quick route to freedom, or jail
This is what happens when Government mixes with religion; those who don't subscribe to the majority belief system get punished
The rehab didn't get away with it, because the media is not Christian oriented, and the media has more influence than the government. There will always be people who abuse their powers, irrespective of their religious orientation. That's human nature, not religious nature.
Bush has done nothing detrimental to this country based on religion; none of his actions are Christian. Why do you think his ratings are so low, what were all the Christians in America asleep during that poll? lol.
I'm aware of that&in Georgia we had silent prayer beginning of each day when my daughter was in school;however you'll notice that even sessions of congress etc. begin with prayer,in God We Trust is frequently mentioned as is God Bless America,all of which I support;we need2Binclusive,not exclusive,so everyone can feel like they Rwelcome in our country provided they Rnot extremists,including fundamentalist Christians&extreme muslims&everyone else who abuses their"religion"4destructive purposes.
Sounds like the good Dr. Ron Paul. It is amazing how much sense that man makes. This country missed a tremendous opportunity with him and instead he and his supporters were and still are labeled "kooks". Furthermore, Dennis Kucinich should be the POSTER BOY for the Democrats yet he is reviled even in his own party. I fear we will never have another statesman run this country. I am voting Obama (of course) but I fear he will disappoint as well. He is already starting to in my opinion.
I don't understand why people can't realize that it's not just liberal and conservative, it's not just left and right. A paleoconservative is very different from a neoconservative even though both are conservatives. Likewise, a neoliberal and a classical liberal are quite different, even though they're both liberals. Like I said, it's not just left and right. There's also up (liberatrian) and down (authoritarian). A neoconservative is right-wing and down, but a paleo is right-wing and up.
But then again there was the blacklisting during the Cold War, Abraham Lincoln happily suspended Habeas Corpus and ignored a federal court order to reinstate it, and Loyalists during the revolutionary time period were treated horribly.
I'd be the first to admit that today's Conservatives aren't, but the Germans giving up so quickly because they knew how well we'd treat them? And forgetting that the so-called Geneva convention author Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War is a convenient omission. That and the greatest Democrat of all time, FDR, rounded up Americans of Japanese ancestry during WWII. Have another one for the road, Bobby.

Neo-Cons are liberals that call themselves conservatives. True conservatives hate neo-cons and their Trotsky roots. True conservatives also hate liberals and their marxist roots. Neither liberals or conservatives like leftists like barack hussein obama. Let's get rid of leftists AND neo-cons!!!
Actually 4 dollar gas is due a multitude of factors, for instance: rising demand in China and India, domestic companies passing the price on to local gasoline retailers, and lack of trade regulation.
Record profits for huge businesses should not occur if gas prices are rising from factors out of oil companies hands.
The Enron loop hole just recently reopened. It allowed for speculators to go rampant and drive the price per barrel to rise 50 buck
Uhh, we'd still be paying A LOT less if the Democrats would let us become energy independent. China and India would be a factor, but then we'd be at $1.50/gal instead of $4.50. More Supply == Lower Prices.. that's the way the world works. Nobody wants to pay $500 for a tickle-me elmo a month after Christmas. Get it?
As for Enron, California dems put a moritorium on drilling in their state, forcing the price to be at the whim of out-of-state energy traders. Durrrr..
You need to work on your trolling skills. Subtlety, man! The art of trolling is doing it so people don't realize that you're trying to antagonize them.
You really need to ask yourself why more Americans have died after 911 than ON 911. W said he'd keep Americans safe, yet his policies have killed more Americans than Bin Laden ever did.
Oh, jeez, this is hard. You're comparing ONE DAY to the years that followed? This comment is so asinine and without merit that it deserves no response.
you can't say Bush has kept us safe. More U.S. citizens have been killed and injured. And we have lost habeas corpus. But you don't know what that is so dont worry. we only had that for the past 800 years through every major battle and war since. That is until Bushco came around.
there was no terrorism in the U.S. to stop fool. He didn't stop 9/11 either. You'd reelect Bush after he has basically destroyed our country and most of your freedoms? spending $3trillion dolloars on the wars has hurt the dollar bad. Wake fool. If we could fix the dollar gas would be $2/gallon. The dollar has lost 65% of its value in the past 5 years. But its all the dems. As a lifetime republican I have to say you are an idiot fascist neocon.
I usually don't comment on youtube. But I felt compelled to do so after reading your dipshit comment. Your obviously a neocon groupie judging by your low intelligence and limited vocab. Your the reason why America is what it is. You and the rest of the masses who support the bush administration are the reason why America is diminishing at a exponential rate. Only when things are too late will you realize, but even then, you'll blame a democrat. Fucken tool.

has anybody noticed that this video is fake? i mean, to the extent that it attempts to present itself as footage from a press conference.
richie rich wanted to vent his addled mind on a grassroots platform without looking like the nobody he is, so he made some astroturf; had a couple of office boys pop camera flash at him while he said some nonsense he knows nothing about.
So becuase you think this video is "fake", somehow you think that takes away from the message he is sending or the points he is making.
There is not one false statement made in this video. And he is making total sense. I think you need to bew deprogrammed. Do you watch a lot of Fox News?
i don't own a tv. so, you see, i don't have the opportunity to absorb keith olbermann's every spittle-flecked pronouncement as if it were being delivered from a stone tablet.
i did address the "message" - i described it as "astroturf" "nonsense" from an "addled mind". beyond that there's nothing to take from it.
you paulpods are such fucking fools. this guy, the product of the shit end of the kennedy dna strand, is a fabian socialist statist who regards paleo-conservatives about one tenth as much as highly as he does your despised neocons. but he knows that bagging on neocons and pretending to appreciate the views of goldwaterites, he can hit the buzzwords which will make doctor paul's army of know-nothing zombie zealots jizz down their keyboards.
you're pathetic. you are not "real conservatives."
and by that i don't mean just the paulpods who are red provacateurs, or david dukies in search of a foreign policy isolationist movement.
i mean literally: believing that the world is controlled by 12 foot tall ancient humanoid lizards via the council on foreign relations is not a political disposition. it's a psychosis.
I'm pathetic and a fool because I believe in keeping my freedoms, smaller government, a sound currency that the rest of the world will respect again, pulling out of Iraq, not attacking Iran, a government that doesn't use lies and propaganda to start wars, leaders I can respect and trust, a free market, and not being wiretapped?
These are all compatible with true republican values. I think you are more fascist than you even know Clemtoe!
wtf are you talking about. It's just a speech to get the truth out. what the hell makes you think it's a press conference or is trying to be. How about listening to his points and not what it looks like.
"I'm pathetic and a fool because I believe in keeping my freedoms, smaller government, a sound currency that the rest of the world will respect again, pulling out of Iraq, not attacking Iran, a government that doesn't use lies and propaganda to start wars, leaders I can respect and trust, a free market, and not being wiretapped?"
You never answered me because you couldn't. You love to divert the topic when your wrong. Bad tactic...
I took an oath several times over twenty years to defend the constitution from "all enemies, foreign and domestic".
The executive power grab conducted by this administration and allowed by congress and the american people make me sick. We need common sense and a return to checks and balances in our government.
While I am not sure about Reagan and illegal wiretapping etc I doubt he had much to do with that. HOWEVER, on the stupidity of lower taxes on the heels of massive spending increases then we know for a fact that Reagan did some stupid things. ANYONE who tries to say that tax revenues increased due to decreased taxes are fools! If the taxes really had been too high then yes there would have been a modest increase in tax revenues when the taxes were lowered. However, revenue did not increase.
Whatever, "radical" on either side is bad. Your opinion is based on experience. My experience tells me the opposite. So who's right? This video clearly shows "scumbagness" carried out by conservatives. Can you give some examples of the "hate, lack of ethics and pure scumbagness" that's demonstrated by liberals? This video gave examples, if you intend to counter it you should give examples too.
oh, i see all radical liberals hate and only some "christians" (note the quotations blaggabloody, you idiot) hate.
to help you open your eyes, idiot, all "christians" hate. can you understand that? i mean do you get what the hell the quotation marks are for, idiot? and all "christians" belong only to the republican party.
you draw your own fucking conclusions, you stupid "christian"republican hater!
Lack of ethics? You are kidding right? Have you not been paying attention to the shenangins that this administration has pulled. Or are you just a "loyal" party member. Party uber alles right?
"Raised concern!" Y can't R.Paul or any of them say HELL Fkn NO?

Even R.

The problem is not with Conservatism itself, but the fact that most "Conservatives" aren't actually Conservative. Neo-Conservatism has become the new Conservatism.
As Robert Kennedy points out, the conserve has been taken out of Conservatism. Conservatism's roots are not so far off of liberal roots - and many are the same. Neo-Conservatism is more in touch with Laissez Faire Capitalism, which in practice is akin to either anarchy (not what's being proposed) or state sponsored capitalism.
david0aloha 2 years ago 3
Laissez Faire was originally a liberal ideology, but was abandoned because it was found to be too unstable - and it couldn't exist in its pure form because it without regulation it became corrupt. Hence why Neo-Conservatism and Neo-Liberalism are used synonymously to refer to the same thing.
The problem is that any attempt to force pure free markets always ends up giving favour to those connected with those doing the forcing.

Neoconservatives are actually communists. The neocon movement came from czarist Russian expatriates who were followers of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky and Lenin. They came to the USA and reworked communism for an American audience. They took over the GOP during the Reagan Revolution and have been able to quietly turn the USA into a neo-communist state little by little, taking advantage of protestant religious fanaticism and obsession with Israel & Jesus to create a power base.

Separation of Church and State explains the meaning of the establishment clause of the first amendment
Jefferson used to term to explain the establishment clause in the Virgina Bill of Rights (which he wrote) which was the model for the US Bill of Rights
Thats why its relevant to the meaning of the first amendment
antipyrene 3 years ago
The "separation of church and state" doctrine is a misinterpretation of the Constitution. The First Amendment prohibition of established religion aims at forbidding all government-sponsored coercion of religious conscience. It does not forbid all religious influence upon politics or society.
brillpod 3 years ago
Actually the Supreme Court has ruled that government can't show favoritism towards any particular religion, nor religion over no religion
So sure individual's religious belief can influence government, no official recognition of a religion can be made
And thats what separation of church and state means, no religious test for full involvement in American society
antipyrene 3 years ago
Excactly! It only protects us from being forced into any state religion, period. It has been misinterpreted 2mean that we can't pray in school, etc. I personally believe that parents need 2give instruction at home, but that studying comparative religion in schools would be 1 of the best ways 2achieve harmony among different faiths &factions. Many parents R clueless so that won't likely happenit has 2B ingrained somehow that all faiths are basically the same, according to one's taste.

You can pray in school, you just can't have that prayer officially sanctioned, because that violates the establishment clause by favoring religion over no religion

Praying to a god is technically not religious. Religion does not necessarily require a god. This is why "In God We Trust" remains on our dollars, because it is a national idea that we have a creator and a god above us. The misinterpretation of the constitution is resulting in the removal of prayer from schools, "one nation under god" from the pledge, and the rights for judges to wear symbols that respect their religion.
brillpod 3 years ago
"Praying to a god is technically not religious"...OK thats patently ridiculous, of course prayer is a religious act
Organized state prayer excludes those who don't pray thus violates the establishment clause...the lines in the pledge, on money, etc. are also violations of the establishment clause although relatively minor ones
antipyrene 3 years ago
Prayer is not a religious act. It is a spiritual act. There is a major difference. I know many people that pray, or believe in a god, but do not belong to any religion. In fact, most sane people who believe in "God" and not mankind are not religious. And where is organized state prayer going on? Would a teacher praying alone in his classroom before class be a violation? Would you like to see him in prison if he offended an atheist that walked in on him or her praying? I bet you would.
brillpod 3 years ago
Prayer is a religious act whether its a part of a specific religion or not (just as Atheism is a religious idea despite the fact it has no religion attached)
A teacher praying alone in the classroom is not acting as an agent of the state so its not a violation...however if he does it during class it is a violation and he should be fired
(no one is jailed for praying; but there are people in the US serving jailtime for refusing to pray)
The non believers are the ones under threat
antipyrene 3 years ago
Religious means of or pertaining to a religion. You can pray without adhering to a body of persons' ideology or established church, therefore you can pray in a nonreligious context. Non-believers are not under threat. The ACLU is working hard to ensure there is no religious activity or symbols outside of the Church, gay marriage is now legal irrespective of the religious vote, and more and more policies are being made to separate Church from state. And no-one is in jail for refusing to pray.
brillpod 3 years ago
"And no-one is in jail for refusing to pray."
Actually there is...a case from the midwest involved a defendant given a choice between jail time and rehab; however the only approved rehab available was one run by fundamentalist Christians (part of Bush's Faith Based Initiative) that required prayer and Bible study; the defendant was an atheist and refused to participate, and thus ended up in jail
Thats the danger of government promoting religion, people such as atheists and gays are screwed
antipyrene 3 years ago
"the defendant was an atheist and refused to participate, and thus ended up in jail"
Do you have evidence that this is true? Such as a link to an article, a date, a name, a judge, a rehab name, the fundamentalist Christians that rant he rehab?
Also, most Presidents have stated they believe in God. Obama admits to being a Christian and believes in Jesus/God, do you think the gays and atheists are in danger if Obama is elected? Religious views isn't what makes Bush dangerous, delusions are.

"Obama admits to being a Christian and believes in Jesus/God, do you think the gays and atheists are in danger if Obama is elected? Religious views isn't what makes Bush dangerous, delusions are."
Obama believes in the Separation of Church and State...Bush doesn't, which is one of the reasons that Bush is a threat to religious freedom
Its not the religion thats the issue, its government getting tied up with religion that is the threat
antipyrene 3 years ago
And even if there was such a case, just because the Atheist refused to go to a rehab that may or may have not been run by a "Christian", doesn't mean he was jailed for refusing to pray. Having the choice of staying in Jail or attending a rehab that is run by a Christian isn't the same as being forced to pray. Get your facts straight, and think before you make statements/accusations.
brillpod 3 years ago
The rehab was centered on prayer (it was run by Chuck Colson, they got sued and Iowa dropped its contract with Colson's group because of the publicity)...the choice inmates have is pray, and get a quick route to freedom, or jail
This is what happens when Government mixes with religion; those who don't subscribe to the majority belief system get punished
antipyrene 3 years ago
The rehab didn't get away with it, because the media is not Christian oriented, and the media has more influence than the government. There will always be people who abuse their powers, irrespective of their religious orientation. That's human nature, not religious nature.
Bush has done nothing detrimental to this country based on religion; none of his actions are Christian. Why do you think his ratings are so low, what were all the Christians in America asleep during that poll? lol.

If we could fix the dollar gas would be $2/gallon. The dollar has lost 65% of its value in the past 5 years. But its all the dems. As a lifetime republican I have to say you are an idiot fascist neocon.

I usually don't comment on youtube. But I felt compelled to do so after reading your dipshit comment. Your obviously a neocon groupie judging by your low intelligence and limited vocab. Your the reason why America is what it is. You and the rest of the masses who support the bush administration are the reason why America is diminishing at a exponential rate. Only when things are too late will you realize, but even then, you'll blame a democrat. Fucken tool.

has anybody noticed that this video is fake? i mean, to the extent that it attempts to present itself as footage from a press conference.
richie rich wanted to vent his addled mind on a grassroots platform without looking like the nobody he is, so he made some astroturf; had a couple of office boys pop camera flash at him while he said some nonsense he knows nothing about.
really really sad.

So becuase you think this video is "fake", somehow you think that takes away from the message he is sending or the points he is making.
There is not one false statement made in this video. And he is making total sense. I think you need to bew deprogrammed. Do you watch a lot of Fox News?

i don't own a tv. so, you see, i don't have the opportunity to absorb keith olbermann's every spittle-flecked pronouncement as if it were being delivered from a stone tablet.
i did address the "message" - i described it as "astroturf" "nonsense" from an "addled mind". beyond that there's nothing to take from it.

you paulpods are such fucking fools. this guy, the product of the shit end of the kennedy dna strand, is a fabian socialist statist who regards paleo-conservatives about one tenth as much as highly as he does your despised neocons. but he knows that bagging on neocons and pretending to appreciate the views of goldwaterites, he can hit the buzzwords which will make doctor paul's army of know-nothing zombie zealots jizz down their keyboards.
you're pathetic. you are not "real conservatives."

and by that i don't mean just the paulpods who are red provacateurs, or david dukies in search of a foreign policy isolationist movement.
i mean literally: believing that the world is controlled by 12 foot tall ancient humanoid lizards via the council on foreign relations is not a political disposition. it's a psychosis.

I'm pathetic and a fool because I believe in keeping my freedoms, smaller government, a sound currency that the rest of the world will respect again, pulling out of Iraq, not attacking Iran, a government that doesn't use lies and propaganda to start wars, leaders I can respect and trust, a free market, and not being wiretapped?
These are all compatible with true republican values. I think you are more fascist than you even know Clemtoe!

wtf are you talking about. It's just a speech to get the truth out. what the hell makes you think it's a press conference or is trying to be. How about listening to his points and not what it looks like.

Clemtoe,
"I'm pathetic and a fool because I believe in keeping my freedoms, smaller government, a sound currency that the rest of the world will respect again, pulling out of Iraq, not attacking Iran, a government that doesn't use lies and propaganda to start wars, leaders I can respect and trust, a free market, and not being wiretapped?"
You never answered me because you couldn't. You love to divert the topic when your wrong. Bad tactic...

I took an oath several times over twenty years to defend the constitution from "all enemies, foreign and domestic".
The executive power grab conducted by this administration and allowed by congress and the american people make me sick. We need common sense and a return to checks and balances in our government.

While I am not sure about Reagan and illegal wiretapping etc I doubt he had much to do with that. HOWEVER, on the stupidity of lower taxes on the heels of massive spending increases then we know for a fact that Reagan did some stupid things. ANYONE who tries to say that tax revenues increased due to decreased taxes are fools! If the taxes really had been too high then yes there would have been a modest increase in tax revenues when the taxes were lowered. However, revenue did not increase.

Whatever, "radical" on either side is bad. Your opinion is based on experience. My experience tells me the opposite. So who's right? This video clearly shows "scumbagness" carried out by conservatives. Can you give some examples of the "hate, lack of ethics and pure scumbagness" that's demonstrated by liberals? This video gave examples, if you intend to counter it you should give examples too.

oh, i see all radical liberals hate and only some "christians" (note the quotations blaggabloody, you idiot) hate.
to help you open your eyes, idiot, all "christians" hate. can you understand that? i mean do you get what the hell the quotation marks are for, idiot? and all "christians" belong only to the republican party.
you draw your own fucking conclusions, you stupid "christian"republican hater!
