Jesse Jackson on the progressive movement

[nicrey25]

To explain socialism simply, it is the looters take from the producers and give to the moochers. Now i hope if you read this you think about the fundamental flaw in socialism and why Margret Thatcher said that ,"the problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other peoples money."

[cosmicforums]

Rev. Jackson makes plenty of sense in this, but Obama is NO Progressive.

[john51880]

It hurts my head to listen to Jackson. Shake down is a poverity pimp! He got rich keeping people down. He used poor to line his pockets!

[Trimixtech]

progressive movement=Brain spray out of asshole and mouth

Look ass spray is talking!

[stc1958]

Isn't it funny how everyone points to the Progressive movement to level the playing field. Pres WIlson, the father of the Progressive movement was a devout racist. Upon taking office, he fired most of the African Americans in the federal government, and segregated the Navy which was desegregated. The segregated parts of Wilsons federal government remained so well into the 1950s. Progressives believe they have the answers and those of us who believe in the Constitution are morons.

[ImForwardlook]

Progressive = communist. One thing is good in this interview. They don't have an American flag in it. Jesse Jackson is either very stupid or a very power hungry person. The progressives are trying to demolish America. These commies have no self respect or empathy. They are just greedy opportunists who will get rid of anybody standing in their way. Which would be the most of the US citizens. These are scary times. God Bless America!

School loans are a way to get people to privatize their lives for the benefit of the plutocratic elite.

[carlawon]

go fuck yourself jesse jackass

...im black btw

[EmeterioBetances]

No. Such hard language Carla..

[doctorofghetto]

I respect Jesse Jackson during the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's, but lately he is not shown much progression in America. If you really have a lot of concern to Americans, specifically with "blacks," you should make sure everyone is entitled to a steady job, with purchasing power for housing and transportation.

Also, this separation of Black America can contradict his progression movement.

[ArcticSlicer]

Best 5 minutes with Jesse Jackson ever.

[goodspelr]

I didn't like Jessie Jackson, but this interview did make me gain a lot more respect for him. One thing though is that student loans already are interest free while the student is in school, it's only afterwords that interest starts up - which is fair.

[siradam575]

That's only subsidized loans. Unsubsidized loans accrue interest even while the student is in school, they just don't demand payment while in school.

[captcrais101]

This is a shock. Jesse Jackson on the real news network.

[bbburton]

Progressive, the new word for Socialist. Don't you just love word play?

[Zxyu00]

kind of like how you play with yourself?

[bbburton]

How did you come up with that so quickly with that penis stuck in your mouth? Now that's the real definition of a progressive. Always wanting to put something in their mouths that doesn't belong to them, are convinced they can't live without it, and certain that the one they get it from doesn't need or have a right to it. You progressives are all alike; insisting what others have earned doesn't belong to them if they deem the less fortunate, like themselves, need it more.

[siradam575]

Progressive has been a term that has been around for some time. Read up on the early 1900's US history, especially the labor movement. And what's wrong with being a socialist? Socialism is what provides your police force and firefighters.

[poop121]

Socialism is un-American and blah Stalin Mao Che pee pee doo doo bloo Support Our Troops and other such sloganry

[bbburton]

Police and firefighters are socialist institutions?! Are you kidding me? Do you even live in this country? Socialists are parasites. They suck the life out of hard working people. They believe rights are privileges and society is the dispenser. They don't raise the standard of living for everyone, they drag everyone down to their level - mediocre at best. They don't make a better society, they make society stagnant. A socialist is an artist with only one color on his pallet - gray.

[siradam575]

Yes, socialism being pushed from the bottom up created institutions like the police and firefighters; paramedics, the military, and public school teachers as well. I suppose you think everyone should have to pay for their education, which is a pity, as it would push us further into the stone age we're heading towards, and it sounds like you're leading the way. But it seems from your general disposition that you'd prefer a well armed and illiterate citizenship, that'd be real 'manly,' huh?

[bbburton]

Like I said, socialists are parasites, and you, being one of them, have no concept of personal responsibility, pride in one's own achievements, and undoubtedly are living on someone else's dime. That's the real pity here, that you're quite willing to bring others down to your level instead of raising yourself up to theirs. And yes, I do believe in a well regulated militia, necessary to a free society, something you think others should provide you as well. Face it, you're a loser, not a man.

[poop121]

you have no dick, i agree

[siradam575]

Well, you've got me pegged. Just a little about myself: I'm a math teacher, I operate a community garden in an urban city, I have solar panels on my house, I make my own biodiesel, I'm a beekeeper. These things and many other activities fill my life. Now how would you define a man? It seems from your insults that you are the typical hormonally fuelled man-ape obsessed with the typical tough guy mentality that continues to hold back the human race as a whole. Try and evolve.

[germancavemonkey]

You know it is Libertarians and Conservatives that are the most individualistic non collectivists self responsible citizens America has. If all Americans were weak and feeble minded enough to be easily manipulated like the Obamadrones then we would have fallen to Communism long ago.

[siradam575]

The problem Americans have in this sort of dialogue is that key words have very different meanings for different people. Not I nor no one else on this line of dialogue has suggested Communism. I don't use that word. Libertarianism and Socialism has more in common than you may think. The link between the two is Anarchism, which is citizens doing the work that is needed simply for that reason, because it is needed. It is when citizens take ownership and responsibility for their civilization.

[chewbaca1989]

Broken Families, 90% Illegitimacy for blacks (b4 progressive 10%),

Welfare, food stamps, lowered standards expected using quotas , Abortion clinics litter ghettos, public housing.

Yeah, I can see why there are tons of Progressive Blacks.

Hispanics, the New Blacks, join the Progressives will get you more of the same. Sacrifice hard work and Conservative Christian roots. that's what you get.

[jblive1985]

god doesnt not exist all these yrs and nobody has see any trace of edvidence

[boots920]

That's where faith comes in :

Read the story on Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son on the alter. At the last moment he was told to stop.

My perception (my own belief) Jesus Christ was sacrificed on the same spot, G-d sacrificed his only son for a reason. Gospel according to Judas, Jesus asked his friend to turn him in. Watch the Gospel according to Judas, (National Geographic special). The "Church" suppressed the gospel for a reason.

[jmartecep]

you forgot about the whites that suffer the same thing. We don't see, a lot of the whites going through those same trials and tribulatons because we're not shown. I think it's an American problem. There too much separation as it is, we need to unite. Casting blame is the easy answer maybe we should bring positive solutions to the problem.

[chewbaca1989]

Your right it is an American Problem, it is called the progressive movement. Which is a Regressive Anti-growth program of Socialism.

It hurts Whites, Hispanics, and crippled our fellow Black Americans the worst.

[siradam575]

You're terribly confusing the progressive movement with a welfare state.  We currently have a welfare state, but it is not blacks who are on the most welfare, it is corporate America that is sucking this country dry with its welfare. We have time and again bailed out banks and the automobile industry while they have sent jobs out of the country and have gambled foolishly with others hard earned savings right back into insurmountable debt.

[ArcticSlicer]

Over 70% of the welfare in this country goes to corporations. In contrast about 2% goes to food stamps. If you really want to end the welfare state you need to start at the top and end corporate welfare.

[chewbaca1989]

I'm in total agreement on this point and you are right.

The crumbs for the "little" people that are to stupid to help themselves.

[boots920]

If you can figure that out why can't the mouth breathers in power figure it out. (Corruption) Its so bad I don't believe your beautiful country will ever recover. Jaw dropping events to witness. (My liver is starting to give out).

[PersonalJesus348]

JJ!

[Meloman0001]

That's a true patriot and the peoples hero.

[boots920]

The US Federal Reserve system is unconstitutional and is designed to fail to not only destroy the coolest country ever conceived by mankind, but also do the free world in.

Does JJ even talk about the US government counterfeiting money and the flawed "fiat currency" that 's being used as world reserve ? You guys get to experience the hyper-inflation first, its really going to suck azz.

[boots920]

Notice JJ doesn't point out the "Central Bank" (Federal Reserve) is purposely destroying the country.

Stimulus (end income Tax) the individual is the wisest spender. Government doesn't even register on the intelligent scale.

[FreakishDonQuixote]

maybe becuase it's retarded conspiracy shit?

1776 Gold $20

1933 Gold $20

1971 Gold $35

2000 Gold $265

2009 Gold $1000 - Gold , Silver is money, paper is currency

Where's the Conspiracy, is our labor worth gold or paper ?

It is error alone which needs the support of Government. Truth can stand by itself. Thomas Jefferson

US Constitution says gold, silver only so the government doesn't destroy the currency. Sound money means individual freedom. Fiat money means the government has control over your financial well being.

[FreakishDonQuixote]

A gold standard is the government fixing the price for gold.

[boots920]

You Bet, its not the government its the LAW OF THE LAND

That's why there's $20 gold pieces, that way when you see the g-idiots counterfeiting money you turn in the "paper" for the gold. That's what happen in 1971, so Nixon (what a asshole) he closed the gold window because the French knew he was counterfeiting money.

Notice another "Global Currency wasn't established". The world leaders should have insisted. Pure fiat for world reserve what a joke.

[Zxyu00]

Yes, but I think that the Fiat Ayn Rand Jewish Tea Party Tyranny Milton Friedman Gold Standard 2nd Amendment Turner Diaries SEAL THE BORDERS Hoooooah you get bent now thanks

[Zxyu00]

no government, business in place of gov't, that would really work well. yessss

[ArcticSlicer]

Gold and Silver are vulnerable to price changes through inflation, deflation and speculation just as much as paper. If you want to invest in something that has value start stocking cans of soup. If the whole world economy fails at least you can eat you soup; not true with gold, silver or paper.

[boots920]

Yea , I was stocking up on food a couple of years ago but stopped. Look what's coming down the pipe is going to be like a sci fi dark ages. Sure you save heaps on going to the movies because your life will become a b grade movie.

Don't really care at this point to tell you the truth.

The Unique thing about gold and silver is that it has maintained some value for 6,000 years of civilization. Paper has gone to 0 many times. I agree food will be like gold, maybe more valuable.

[poop121]

i no, i stopped too. now im just stocking on lube and frozen pizza. viva la revolucion!!

George S. Patton

Notice "Orca" promoted Obama even though he's not a natural born citizen. (Propaganda) His Father was born in Kenya so if you're following the US constitution to the letter both parents need to be born on US soil. Unless you guys invaded Kenya?

Gold , Silver as money its law of the land, its to maintain a free, prosperous United States of America.

Forget about it : your view is in the majority, we're toast.

[afraknigg93]

it doesn't matter where the hell your parents where born if your parents are legal immigrants and have a child in the united states that child is a us citizen. if such is so most of the presidents in the late 18th and early 19th century wouldn't be us citizens.

and you're right if we invaded kenya and obama was born in kenya he would be a us citizen. we invaded panama in the 30's and mccain was born in panama so because of that action he is a us citizen.

[boots920]

I know it only matters if your following the rule of law, the US Constitution.

Gold and Silver is constitutional money, the Federal Reserve ignores that law too. Just means your country turns into a 3rd world sci fi dung heap that's all.

[audadvnc]

JJ doesn't need a fake American accent, he's got a real American accent - he was born in South Carolina. He is a Southern gentleman who has spent his time in the trenches of civil rights, and is still here to speak with us.

And I agree that we should have "bottom up" stimulus, and smaller banks. Best wishes to JJ and the progressive movement. Keep up the debate!

[mldnathai]

J.J. looks greet for his age (He has to ne around 70 now?)

He really needs to work on his elocution, though.

He is a brilliant man who is cursed with a really dumb sounding accent.

I really think he could have been at least nominated, if not actually elected back in the Eighties if he could only have learned to fake a standard American accent.

[TruthSerum101]

Dumb sounding?  You should know from "dumb sounding".
