Yaron Brook's Keynote Address at July 4 Boston Tea Party Protest (Part 1 of 2) (HD)

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq Obviously, you are in denial that Iran and Saudi Arabia are the two biggest terrorist sponsors in the world, and are actively seeking destruction of western values. But then again, in your "bubble" they are not a threat - what a suicide bomber or a nuclear weapon is for you I cannot say.

Of course I know that Ron Paul is against "foreign entanglements", and yes I would say that is consistent. However, it is consistent with a policy of appeasement, and not of self-defence.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq I am not familiar with Ron Paul's personal life and will not comment on that. However, advising people to not have an abortion without having actual power to force one's will is exactly what the pope is doing. No one today is forced to be a catholic, obviously, but to turn an otherwise happy person into a sad and nervous wreck (which is the sad fate of most un-planned parenthoods) is exactly what one should be actively opposed to, and not silently accepting in the dark.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq Hypocrite means preaching something but doing the opposite, such as preaching safety while undermining the very same. I have given ample examples in the case of Ron Paul, but if you want to be evasive about the evidence there is nothing I can do about it.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq You didn't read my message properly. Notice that I said "military threat" - obviously american soldiers aren't going to come bombing your buildings, which would be something jihadists would happily do to you. And no, I don't like TSA or traffic cops either, but that is another chapter entirely, and cannot be measured in scale with a jihadist nation bent on world domination acquiring nuclear wepaons.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq Ron Paul hating abortion is just as harmful as when the Pope is hating abortion, because it leads to unnecessary suffering and death that can be avoided.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq And yes: alturism and capitalism are imcompatible. The first promotes self-sacrifice, while the second promotes self-growth. Trying to live up to the first by organizing a society around it will in its ultimate form lead to totalitarianism. It doesn't matter if the sacrifice-collectors are gods, men or a black void, it is still anti-individual, anti-man, anti-life.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq Obviously, because Ron Paul hates abortions, it would be wise of him to continue with his "can't touch this"-policy. Further, the #1 military threat today is from terrorist sponsoring states, and wiping them out (Iran first, Saudi Arabia second) is what would promote genuine self-defence, instead of living under constant fear (as it is today) - all this would require "foreign entanglements" that Ron Paul cannot accept, thus making him a misfit hypocrite that should be ignored.

[Wejer3]

@aquatiq How funny, I wrote that comment 1+ year ago and you still dig through the pages to tell me I am wrong. Especially on a video with just 5500 views.

[Mirani2]

@aquatiq Raised by your parnets and elders to do so? Lucky you! Although my father and mother were both open minded questioners, my father's family is a very opinionated family. They didn't teach me the methods of reason (which I had to learn myself), but the resulting answers, which were often open minded and thoughtful.

did you email it to me? Youtube doesn't allow links.

[Mirani2]

@aquatiq I agree with yuo, I love ron Paul. From what I've seen, the ARI uncharacteristicalyl supports Israel (a democracy, not republic, and who violates citizens freedom by drafting them, and is religious). I hate Obama as well, I forgot to point out, and want to share with you my own website about zionism, which I think makes some mention of objectivism.

[Mirani2]

@aquatiq Because he doesn't support Israel

[SomeUsefulIdiot]

One of the only people on YouTube that actually speaks the truth

[mwired2]

mowoal revolution? whats that?

[sybo59]

@mwired2 He came here from Israel.

[jdhah]

Haha, this guy is hilarious! I think he outperformed Colbert with the quality performance in that speech. Great actor, bravo sir!

[STAB1L]

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government" (We The People). During the real Tea Party there were no freeways, bridges nor school that allow real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined about paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

[stater68]

@ErikNikolai I know the differences between Yaron Brook and Libertarians. I was refering to Ron paul in that comment. I really do wish Ron Paul was more like Yaron Brook

[Pirate1014]

Damn I missed that tea party by six days!!!

[jche7793]

If you want the truth about the Ayn Rand Evangelists watch this video by Proteanview...

watch?v=2oMifDBVQ34

[MoonMankkkkkk]

you fail, please try again ^_^

[8888sam]

this man sould be president!!!

[MoonMankkkkkk]

Does Dr. Peikoff even read the news any more?

[mkloppel]

Holy crap. I could have been there. Great job Mr. Brooks...just Fing GREAT.

[gaa389]

Be kind and generous to your neighbor or We, your kind and generous neighbors, will burn you into the ground. That is how kind we are. We pretend our lives away, and if you don't go along with our pretense, you will be destroyed.

[johngaltexpres]

Ron Paul is the only MAN that understands the true role of the government.

[Wejer3]

Ron Paul is more of a business-friendly conservative. He doesn't like self-defence or abortion and he doesn't deny that he is a partial altruist. He is a misfit, to say the least, and full of contradictions. (although I guess Ron would be a better President than Obama, but that's another story)

[johngaltexpres]

Thanks, I agree with your comments. His religious views are contradictory to what he says he believes in but as it stands right now, he would be the best candidate. The contradictions that exist in his beliefs are his errors in thinking but I think there is more chance at debating Ron Paul on these errors than someone like Obama.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

Not to mention he's a pussy when it comes to Iran.

[Wejer3]

Indeed, pacifism won't help us defend against theocracies like Iran.

[stater68]

Libertarians are great except for the unapologetic pacifism and anarchy.

[lmdelano3]

@stater68 Yaron Brook is discussing Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Objectivism. It is not libertarian and it is definately not pacifist. Read up bud before you write lies.

[blummedia]

Obama picked Sotomayor who worked for the Robert Morganthau, son of Henry Morganthau Jr., architect of the New Deal. Henry Morgathau Sr. ran the financial arm of the Democrat Party under Woodrow Wilson.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

Oh My God.

[blummedia]

God? lol you believe in imaginary people and can't see a fact of history as a relevant point in the system that is controlling our country. A system that goes back a hundred plus years and groups of elitists that use you as ballot cattle.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

You are a fucking idiot. Please kill yourself immediately, if you haven't already choked on a bottle cap. You'll either do a service to the gene pool, or you'll save evolution the trouble. In any case, let's see where your intellectual composure took a nose dive:

[blummedia]

Let me guess.... you are an abused child. It must be the explanation for your coming back to this video.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

Actually, I have OCD. What's your excuse? Mother drank while pregnant? Sniffed glue for fun?

[MoonMankkkkkk]

If your comment is specifically about Sotomayor, (which is obivious because you wouldn't have mentioned the other faggots if it didn't have something to do with a Supreme Court Justice nominee), then there really is no reason whatsoever to have mentioned the others.

1. Ideas don't pass genetically.

2. They don't pass through employment.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

It would be one thing to say that she worked for a well-known statist, but to say that she must have statist tendencies because she worked for someone who was the SON of a statist is so utterly inept and illogical an argument it's pathetic. If this Robert Morganthau is a statist, say why he is, but don't make completely idiotic equivocations as ideas and heredity being linked.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

Secondly, as to your "brilliant", (i.e. any atheist jackass could have produced it ad-lib on a dime), refutation of religion, any mongoloid, (to which I then stress again to kill yourself for the sake of your children who will inevitably all have down syndrome), could have realized when I said, "Oh my God," I clearly meant, "I am in a state of disbelief," more specifically, "at how utterly moronic you are to have made that statement."

[blummedia]

This is where you fail^^^

[MoonMankkkkkk]

I'm not done faggot. Even Ayn Rand numerous times used the term God in a secular manner.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

you fail, please try again ^_^

[prairieobjectivist]

Bravo Yaron Brook, this was a great Independence Day video. "Country First? That's an American slogan? Give me a break!" Well stated! Let's have real hope and real change, let's have a moral revolution in favor of rational self interest.

Composer1777: From someone who happens to live in Europe, actually in one of the most socialized of all, namely Sweden, you do NOT want nationalized health care. Unless of course you want to wait several weeks for a simple general care appointment, and in most cases at least 3 months, often up to 6 months and in some cases more than A YEAR (!) for specialist care. Socialized medicine does NOT WORK. Like everything the government gets its paws into, competition is eradicated and costs skyrocket.

[charlessmyth]

When fascism is only, and loosely recognised as the authoritarianism, which underpinned its implementation under Mussolini, fascism fails to be recognised, in a 21st century democracy. And when a pivotal moment in America's development, The Boston Tea Party, is turned into just another annual party, the importance of what the Tea Party stands for, can too easily be lost. Brook for the Hill, in 2010.

"If everyone swept his own doorstep, then the whole world would be clean."

[sexdrugsRnR]

i disagree, when individuals have a monopoly of violence in their hands, they are in a position to do anything they want... usually this translates into government growth into other sectors.

[ALittleBitPregnant]

Public Morality-We have the right to force you to act altruistically because we think its best for you.

[sexdrugsRnR]

not, 'we think', its more like 'we know' ...or else they would not force you.

[rskaimal]

I simply loved Dr. Brook's statement:

We need to dump that (the idea that you're your neighbor's keeper) in the river with the tea! Bravo!

[normativeRandroid]

There is no such thing as "forced privatization". Given the regulatory system we currently have (mixed-economy), to truly privatize would be to repeal all rights-restricting laws. Most if not all talk of "privatization" by politicians is simply legislative fiat produced by business, i.e., fascism.

[Monkeypoocatapult]

wabbit

[IchorFigure]

"We need to dump that [altruism] in the river with the tea" Yes! Well said.

[sexdrugsRnR]

governments always grow.

[Thrillhiz]

The best part is he goes on about privitized health care, oblivious to the fact that its done nothing but horrible things for americans

~~objectivism~~

[qtronman]

"The best part is he goes on about privitized health care, oblivious to the fact that its done nothing but horrible things for americans"

Americans don't really have privatized health care.

[dannidandannikins]

The worst thing is that you get dumb retards commenting on his speech who only watched about 1 minute of the speech and don't listen to the arguments. Think about these questions: who cares more about your health, you or the government? Who knows better what your medical requirements are, a government bureaucrat or you? Who's better motivated to tailor a health program to your requirements, an insurance company competing in an open market or a bureaucrat using government power?

Just think.

[Thrillhiz]

GUBMINT TAKIN MAH MONEY!!!!

[444DeanMachine]

hell yea you tell em mahn!

toopid Gubmint

[NotThat3]

Well said.

[chopsky]

Great. Been waiting to see this.
