You ass sniffing Libtards are a joke. Get back in the soup line, and then off to your mom's basement. How is that liberal arts degree working out, cum guzzlers?
unfortunately the majority of Republicans are just as socialist as the democrats . They vote for market orders,subsidies,tax credits,rebates,refunds,deductions,etc. They make no move to close the fed/state bureaucracy, and continue, (very hypocritically) to give lip service to capitalism. we don't want more efficient,cheaper,smaller,simpler,republican or state level socialism, we want to go back to capitalism, until republicans address this, the election of 08 will be typical.
@halloranedward I don't agree on the "majority" part, but I do agree. How is it that every year, we have such sucky candidates? Yeah, Ron Paul included. It seems like we have a tendency to only raise up statist candidates who compromise on a few social issues. Sure, social issues are important too, but we need to go back to what the Americans in the conservative movement actually BELIEVE. It's too late for this year, but reform the party by 2016.
man, if a presidential candidate made a speech like this I would vote for him then and there. You should really run, all the current candidates are crap.
@thomasverdin This guy is sitting up here protecting corporations and the military. Do you know the military does a lot of secret shit that they feel they can keep from the people unless THEY feel we should know about it. You know we're fucked when the conservative Republican president of the 1950s Dwight Eisenhower would be considered a left wing lunatic today. The industrial Military Complex.
liberals will cause america to end, why do you ask?? its because liberals believe and trust that other countrys dont want to destroy the wonderful US of A , liberals need to spend time in anthor country without bieng a ''foriegn national'' they will soon realize that humans are naturally evil
"DEMOCRATS wrote the odious JIm Crow laws ...." he says ..... yes, they did: conservative Democrats. They were the conservative/populist/racist party at the time. You fail to say that, though. Why? Oh right, because you're trying to imply that Democrats are still like that today.
@leizuoer He fails to make up bullshit, that's why he didn't say that. You can make all the excuses you want (all the racist democrats were REALLY under cover republicans), the civil rights act 64, equal rights act, and voting rights act 65 were all strongly opposed by 80% of democrats. And democrats still screw over blacks today, minimum wage, shitty schools, affirmative action. Democrats do everything in their power to make blacks seem hopeless victims that can't survive without a hand out.
Never seen a more biased video in my life. Shocking.
Apparently this "historian" completely missed the fact that the Republican Party was the liberal party of its day and the Democratic Party was the conservative/populist one. The parties have switched positions since. Liberal Republicans ended slavery and that was fantastic. Conservative Democrats opposed them.
Why is it that TODAY, the Republicans are overwhelmingly opposed to equal rights, say for gays? Because they're conservative, duh!
@leizuoer "Apparently this "historian" completely missed the fact that the Republican Party was the liberal party of its day and the Democratic Party was the conservative/populist one" apparently you smoke a shit load of crack. And all the racist republicans today are really democrats now - ok dumbass?
@F1reF0rEffect So.. someone told you that it was liberals who were Republicans. Oh how cute. And you just gobbled that up and puke it back up? Wow you are one gullible easily brainwashed little fool lol
@TheRightOffensive I was being sarcastic dumbass. Usually when I make a ridiculously stupid point, sarcasm is implied. "And you just gobbled that up"... "Wow you are gullible" - couldn't have said it better myself.
@F1reF0rEffect When you make ridiculous stupid points it won't 'imply sarcasm' but will appear as just another liberal making typical liberal comments on here. Also, the 'couldn't have said it better myself' turnabout doesn't actually work here. I think you need to work on this. Tip: Do not try and use sarcasm or comedy principles. It's not really your 'thing'.
@TheRightOffensive dude - you're an idiot. If you could read it would be obvious I was arguing with the liberal and making fun of the stupid crap he/she said - go back an read my 3 comments. Here's a tip: lets not give liberals any ammunition that there are stupid asses in our party, so keep your feelings and inability to read to yourself.
@TheRightOffensive You tried to use the exact same dry sarcasm as seen in the video but don't realize you need to have audio and visual in order for that to work. You aren't successful and need to stop trying because you got confused and failed to be sarcastic (or really grasp how to do it) the second time around. So you are hurting the cause here. I have an advantage in that I actually do write parody and sarcasm and sell it. You don't. Just trying to help.
@TheRightOffensive Here's what I wrote "You can make all the excuses you want (all the racist democrats were REALLY under cover republicans), the civil rights act 64, equal rights act, and voting rights act 65 were all strongly opposed by 80% of democrats. And democrats still screw over blacks today, minimum wage, shitty schools, affirmative action..." did undercover republicans not tickle your pea sized brain? You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to confuse that as serious
@leizuoer "Why is it that TODAY, the Republicans are overwhelmingly opposed to equal rights, say for gays? Because they're conservative, duh!" Why is it today that gays are against incest, polygamy, and bestiality? Because they're conservative, duh!
Why? Why am I treated like a second class piece of trash for being a young Conservative? Why am I always told to sit down and shut up by the media? When young liberals are embraced and are labeled as "The New America"? I have a voice. And I intend to use it. Whether in this election or the next.
Don't forget your right to smoke pot, have abortions, have gay marriage, right to build Mosques where you please... wait a minute... those don't sound like Republican ideas.
I wonder how many liberals watched this video, felt so defeated, that the only option was to be a republican? Oh wait. That never happens. Your rhetoric is polemical and you come off as an ass. Work on dialoguing with people who think differently than you. It would severely help your agenda.
Where do you get the balls to say that Republicans love freedom? Neo-cons want to legislate the bedroom, ban pornography, reduce privacy, criminalize abortion, and continue the drug war. What neo-cons want is a free market police state. Democrats are just as bad with economic freedoms as Republicans are with personal freedoms, but you are really 2 sides to the same coin. Both groups want to stifle freedom, and neither server the best interest of individuals.
Repulicans aren't evil, just misguided, naive & foolish. They serve the interests of those more powerful than themselves while falling for propaganda such as this. I don't hate republicans i have pity for them.
LOL, this guy doesn't even hide the fact that he pro-republican, So how is anyone suppose to take any of his other arguments seriously when he proves he is biased?
What ever little credibility Bill Whittle had with me is officially destroyed.
@johanexxxx And you don't even hide the fact that you're anti-republican. Everyone has their own opinion, and everyone tries to argue that their opinion is best. We don't discover truths by ignoring someone's evidence on the grounds that they are biased. Instead, we should scream and argue until we're red in the face, all false evidence has been discredited, and all that's left is truth.
@forforman You're so right. I mean the pro-business, pro-Gold standard, pro-free market system, pro-religious based morality of the 19th century Republican party is so unlike today's GOP. I know, I know, the southerners support them now but they didn't in the past, I mean, the fact that the south is now more strongly controlled by middle, lower class evangelical protestants than by rich plantation owners has no bearing on this at all.
@evesdrop1982 The early Republicans actually weren't pro-free market. However, The Jeffersonian Democrats (who were ironically older than the Grand Old Party) where very laissez faire, which at the time was correctly seen as the economic system that best favored the working class. However, when the Democrats adopted the fallacy that a strong government (traditionally seen as the enemy of the working class) could help the poor, the parties swapped economic policies.
@theJMBgamer Ah, the Whigs weren't pro-free market, but, although Republicans branched from the Whig party, they weren't actually one in the same. 19th century Republicans were in general for a free market, although they did support high tariffs. They preferred a business oriented economy, and the Protestant piety of Prohibition (among other things). Some economic policies were, necessarily, modified over time for both parties but the idea that they completely switched is a bit misleading.
@forforman True, the Whig and early Republicans were mercatalists and protectionists. At the same time, the early Democratic party was very libertarian, but ironically favored slavery. However, the Republicans were always seen as the party of the rich, and the Democrats as the party of the poor. The parties flipped their economic theories when Democrats adopted the false notion that the poor, and society as a whole, could be more prosperous under a welfare system.
I love his explanation of republican's not being racist because historically they weren't. He misses the 1960 flip where democrats switched to republican party when JFK was running. KKK is now more republican than democrat, like historically being more democrat than republican. Did they switch their prejudice? No they switched their party.
Everywhere else on the planet Republican are a people's and minority party rather than corporate party.
@gocrazy432 Actually, the idea the Republicans switched to Democrats is a falsehood, not represented by historical fact, only believed by Democrats who want to deny their ugly history, and he did indeed deal with this erroneous thinking in the video. Show us the KKK's voting record dipshit...oh wait, you mean you don't have it? Gee, that could be a problem. Please don't list that "the KKK backed McCain" bs because it simply isn't verifiable. There was also claims that the KKK backed Obama.
@evesdrop1982 How do you deal with the fact that US republican's are right-wing while the world's republican's are left-wing? Liberal meant for liberty not more laws as US believes. I don't care about the history because historically I would have been a republican but now a modern democrat or rather libertarian.
The KKK are associated w/ the south. The south is mostly republican. There's your association (religious right)
Why would KKK back Obama? Wouldn't Al Queda be the backers?
@gocrazy432 I don't care about the world's Republicans, that's irrelevant to the US Republicans, although I doubt your accuracy in that judgement anyways. Liberal is a meaningless moniker that Democrats attached to in order to boost their image, it failed. Now they are moving to "progressives". The label is meaningless, they just use whatever sounds good.As far as your idea that since the KKK is in the south they must vote Republican, that's a powerfully stupid statement.
@gocrazy432 the KKK's geographic location is irrelevant. their affiliation with a political party is whats important. KKK = democrat. the south in recent history has started voting republican because of the message the republicans put out. that happens to be freedom of religion, gun ownership small govt and low taxes, to name just a few. the KKK is ONLY linked with the GOP by a few retards trying to rewrite history as the left always does.
The workers of this country need saftey nets and u people getting rid of them is attempts at enslavement oh and dont get me started on your attempts at voter suppression
So breaking up unions cutting educational spending censering the internet is the was to free the oppressed oh ss and medcare are enlavements to huh I dont think cutting pay roll taxes for the middle class will do anything when we buy our goods from over seas
Wow, republicans are racsist because of what they did in the 19th century? Lets judge them on what they are doing in the 21st century. Things like lets say, promoting laws like in Arizona that forces people of hispanic descent to repeatedly have to prove their citizenship, or deny the children of immigrants an education. Not greedy? Humm, they oppose healthcare reform because then it will have to be rationed. They don't want to share limited resources, they want it for themselves.
@TheCommonMan101 Actually the oppose the rationing of healthcare because it lowers the quality of care for everyone. Deciding that, because you don't want to pay for healthcare, you should then be able to lower the quality of care for everyone is much more selfish than saying care shouldn't be rationed because it will hurt more people than it will help.
@evesdrop1982 You should realize that what you are saying is nonsense. Making healthcare available to everyone can't lower the quality of healthcare for people who don't currently have healthcare. Your statement that it would lower the quality of healthcare for everyone is not logical. It is also true that it is selfish that those with healthcare would let others die from lack of it rather than share the healthcare resources that are available. It is worse than selfish, it is immoral.
@TheCommonMan101 You're argument is nonsense. There is a standard of care regardless of insurance that will be lowered. It's immoral to harm the vast majority for the usually slight benefit of a few. It's immoral that my husband's grandmother, under Obama's current system, was denied real treatment for a pulmonary embolism because she had ovarian cancer and "it wasn't worth the cost" to properly treat her.
@varia0903 That is simply not true. Your argument is nonsense and illogical. There is no way that someone who has no access to healthcare can possibly have the quality of their healthcare lowered. You opinion of your grandmother's medical treatment is subjective and not supported by fact.
@TheCommonMan101 Wrong, it's not subjective, it's fact. She was actually outright told that by her doctors. It is however, anecdotal, still supported by fact (incidences of denial of care based on current health and prognosis under Obamacare and socialistic health systems around the world is well documented) but not subjective. If you had a quality education, you'd know the difference between anecdotal and subjective. Not having health insurance doesn't equate to not having access to care.
@varia0903 Actually it is subjective since your statement was supported by nothing more than your opinion. You apparently are then one who lacks a formal education since you lack any knowlege of logic or critical thinking. I realize that you can go into a hospital emergency room and get to see a doctor who will provide pain management. You seem to confuse that with healthcare.
@TheCommonMan101 Again, it wasn't subjective, because the statement is supported by more than just my opinion. You have no understanding of actual healthcare. I'm not talking about just pain management, dipshit. Show me proof that a hospital will deny care to someone simply because they don't have insurance? It won't happen. They will get care and get a bill. Grow a brain.
@varia0903 actually it wasn't. Since it is now clear that you are a moron, I will simply ignore you as you clearly have nothing intelligent to say and appear to be unable to forming an intelligent or educated thought. Ba Bye foolio.
@TheCommonMan101 An example of how you can have access to care regardless of insurance, myself. For decades I didn't have health insurance. I was still able to see the doctor. Still able to go and did go to the hospital when needed. Care was still available regardless of insurance status. The fact that you missed the original point that there is a national standard of care that exists regardless of individual standard of care that will be lowered was pretty predictable.
Whenever I see somebody talk about "left-wing" and "right-wing" I know this guy can possess but one lonely brain cell. There is nothing more stupid, mis-leading, and stupidifying than this political coordinate system that must have been invented by a "journalist".
If there are two great opposing camps then it is collectivism vs liberty. There are the people who fear freedom, responsibility, effort, risk, and indeed life itself, and here are those who have guts, brains, honor, and a future.
Yes. Totally. Democrats help people in low/middle socioeconomic class for "a steady annual bumper crop of votes." The goal of a government should be to help the majority of its country, not to get votes, sir. People don't choose the circumstance they are born into, but it undeniably affects their resources and life choices. Also, good call on debunking the democratic party because of a few uninformed individuals calling republicans names, and then calling democrats those same names. Great job!
@evesdrop1982 A Communist? How does that make me a communist? Expressing my own opinion just like fuckwit here on this video. You're spoken like a true idiot.
@Scorp308 Communists usually hold the opinion that people should be "removed" from certain areas. It's your opinion that makes you a communist you "fucktwit". By the way, "You're spoken" isn't correct grammar. Idiot.
@evesdrop1982 Removed with inverted commas surrounding it. So you're saying I should have this man killed? It's fuckwits like you that think when someone has a difference of opinion that they're suddenly 'communists'. Pull your head out of your arse and hopefully some things will become clearer. Fuckwit!
@Scorp308 You're are really just that stupid aren't you? It's not the voicing of the different opinion, moron. Nor is it actually having a different opinion. What makes you a commie bastard is the actual opinion you hold, fuckwit.
In reality there is no difference with the modern Republican leadership and the Democrat leadership. It's the same party on all the important points. Look at their actions when they get into power and not their rhetoric.
Fascism was founded on a hatred of Liberalism, Democracy and Communism. It is an ideology committed to aggressive Nationalism and traditions that can be completely distinct from Socialism or entirely compatible with Capitalism. This right-wing spin on history and politics over the past few years has done nothing more than confuse Conservatives and made them look foolish. Enough already.
@whbon73 Fascism actually has elements of both leftist and right-wing political ideologies and most competent political scientists today won't place it entirely on one or the other side. Why? Because fascism strongly resembles communism on the left with it's emphasis on strong centralized government, government control of the economy, and the denial of the individual. It's strongest "right-wing" element is the strong sense of nationalism. Public education fails another liberal. Enough already.
@eavesdrop 1982 You seem to think Fascism and Totalitarianism are one and the same. You're also confused about the differences between Liberalism and Conservatism. The central concern of Liberalism is safeguarding individual freedom from abusive authority (no, corporations are not victims of the government). Conservatism, on the other hand, champions hierarchy over equality, and community over the individual. So, that private education you apparently received was a rip off.
@whbon73 Wow, if this is the state of our educational systems we are in serious trouble. No, I don't think Fascism and Totalitarianism are one in the same, they do, however, have their similarities. Fascism does, indeed, rely on a dictatorship style of leadership. Learn history. Liberals favor a much larger centralized government. That's fact. It's also incompatible with individual liberty. Read something other than The Daily Kos in order to better understand American conservatism.
@eavesdrop 1982 Similarities? Simpleton, one could also draw a similarity between the U.S. and Nazi Germany, both having been states that allowed and encouraged private enterpise. You really are dumb. Maybe if you stepped out of your Republican bubble from time to time, you'd learn somehting beyond the Billo/Hannity idiocy.
I won't be replying to anymore of your comments. You're hopeless and dull.
@whbon73 I don't blame you for running. Most people who, when presented with facts, can do nothing but rant nonsense tend to run away from arguments because they simply can't win. Saying there are small similarities between economic systems within Nazi Germany and the US and comparing that to the large system similarities between two dictatorships both with nationalized economies is quite the stretch, but I expect nothing else from ignorant, propaganda owned liberals.
@evesdrop1982 Yeah that's an oldie but a goodie right. That's one of those ones professors say in polisci. I wonder why no one but academics talk about "nationalism"? Or using the word as defined by academics, what the difference is between socialist and classical liberal nationalism? What types of new laws are currently up for debate that enforce nationalism and who the groups are that support it? Now its your turn to tell me that you know what I believe better than I do.
Lincoln actually was a racist who considered blacks inferior and unfit for civilization. But what is worse, Lincoln was a big government fascist and money counterfeiter :D
I agree with most of this sir, however the civil war was not started by slavery. But by Federal soldiers staying in Fort Sumter which controlled most of the trade transportation to the south. The state succeeded to back up South Carolina. I am sure you know this, please do not twist this important time in history. Keep up the videos.
I didn't even go a min in. Republicans are for less taxes on the rich. The middle class, tie your bootstraps tight. They will make you jobs!!!! Never the less every republican running is against min wage. So you get to keep that hard earned 2 dollars an hour that company wants to pay you and we will give them a tax cut!!! Vote republican if you agree!!!
maybe i am mistaken but ... you forgot to mention how later the political party's shifted.. like Texas for example was primarily democrats and fought for the south. Now Texas strongly represents the republican party but still loves to fly the confederate flag. But whatever if the whole truth doesn't fit your story feel free to leave out the inconvenient parts.
@midgety1 You are mistaken. He mentions it at like 6:10 Also, the confederate flag does not stand for slavery, and is actually the flag of South Carolina during the civil war.
@midgety1 You are mistaken. He mentions it at like 6:10 Also, the confederate flag does not stand for slavery, and is actually the flag of South Carolina during the civil war.
@midgety1 I know it's hard to keep up when you operating with such an extreme intellectual handicap but try anyways. The parties ideals didn't change much over the years, what HAS changed (to a certain extent) are the ideals of the south. At one point slavery was of vital economic importance to the south, it isn't anymore. Now their top issues include job creation and managing illegal immigration. Flying confederate flags is more about historic/cultural identity and less about politics/slavery.
@varia0903 The day that you listen to what your political enemies actually say is the day that you will begin to question what you believe. So much of what liberals support is built on the notion that the other side is evil. Wouldn't it be a shock to find out that many of those confederate flag flying dudes are actually democrats. But everyone who watches any TV knows that they're all Republican racists :) so there's no need look into it.
@varia0903 Fact is that the history of that flag represents a foreign state (Confederate States of America) that fought against the United States of America, is that a culture you are proud of? Why do you think many confederates fled to South America after the war, because they knew they betrayed their country and no longer had a role in it. You are celebrating traitors and a foreign government (CSA)
I always like this videos, but I don't understand how the Republican Candidates don't have basic Republican principals. It's not fair to either the Republican party, nor to America.
This video is misleadingly titled. Show me a "Republican" in Congress who actually exhibits these qualities (besides Ron Paul, of course). The Republican/Democrat debate is a farce, based on a false premise, and likely to drive this bus off of a cliff.
Wall Street is not a violent movement. They are being beaten and yet no shots were fired.
I agree mussolini is a socialist OWS however is a poor example, and specially because they are not a socialist based movement, there are socialists trying to claim it as theirs however it came from outside this sphere.
1) Democrats want to tax the high wage earners, and give tax breaks to people who work hard for less money. Republicans-just the opposite.
2) OWS wants point 1, and is a peaceful movement. Also, democrats ARENT socialists, and saying so shows your ignorance.
3) If you had any basic knowledge of history, you'd know that the Democratic party used to be conservative and the Republican party used to be liberal. Why do states of the Confederacy almost always vote Republican?
@chriswpieper Actually, republicans don't want the "opposite". They don't want to tax the people who work hard for less money. That's a typical thing for a liberal tool to believe, but it simply isn't true. Republicans don't want taxes increased on anyone..OWS is definately not a peaceful movement. More rapes, murders, riots, and vandalism in that group than ever occurred during the Tea Party protests, which actually were peaceful.
@evesdrop1982 Also, OWS is about regulating the financial sector on wall street and reinstating the regulations that protected us from financial catastrophe for nearly a century. The only reason people like you think otherwise is because the corporate owned media makes a lot of money on that racket and has a vested interest in keeping it running, so they paint OWS as socialist hippies that want to raise taxes and take away your bibles.
@auglio Yeah, you are an absolute tool. Owned by the liberal propaganda machine. Try educating yourself on economics, regulations, and the various ways in which Keynesian economics does not work. You're probably one of those uneducated dopes that actually thinks FDR and Keynesian economics got us out of the Great Depression. Pathetic. OWS painted their own picture. They actually did chant anti-semitic rants, vandalized stores and city property, rioted, killed, and raped people. That's reality
@auglio By the way, I loved the subversive dig at Christianity. It's nice how you liberal morons throw those in at every chance you get in a nice superior tone because it just does so much to further your image of being "tolerant and open-minded" as opposed to oppressive, egotistical, and bigoted with a socialist (or nazi in light of the rampant anti-semitic attitudes) bent. Try the libertarian high road, you may gain something...like an actually intellectual argument.
@menotyou48 1. They are talking about the Republican and democrat views of how taxes should be handled during this recession NOT during the Reagan years. Right now most Republicans don't want to raise anyone's taxes. 2. Reagan is not the only Republican in the world and he is not a perfect representation of the conservative ideal, dimwit. That's as intelligent as asking "if liberals are against starting wars with countries that aren't a direct threat, why did Clinton invade Kosovo?"
@menotyou48 Oh my God, you're dense. You really don't understand, do you? The lights are on but nobody's home. Honey, the laws of economics haven't changed, but the situation isn't exactly the same, now is it? And please, if you actually believe it is exactly the same, just don't waste my time by responding. Let me think that there is still SOME intelligent life on the left end of the political spectrum.
@menotyou48 You have no concept of reality outside the propaganda you swallow, do you? Most of the Republicans don't want to raise the taxes on anyone. It's not so much about lowering the taxes on the wealthy, it's about not raising them from where they currently are. The majority of Republicans are advocating keeping taxes static or lowering them for everyone (not just the wealthy), and cutting spending. The candidates differ in some areas but those two things apply to most of them.
@menotyou48 Actually, no not "every candidate" has proposed a way to raise taxes on "that 47%" that don't pay a federal income tax although a fair tax system would be a smarter, more effective, more efficient system than the one we have now. Ron Paul, for example, has a plan to eliminate federal income tax altogether which is hardly raising the income tax on that 47%
@varia0903 So you did not watch the 2011 CPAC. But even if he did keep some of his contradictory promises, he promised it would be at the expense of younger generations' college educations.
@menotyou48 So you're strategy is that when you're presented with facts, you simply change the argument? Cute. Please, you still have to explain to me why, if Democrats are so concerned about the poor and their taxes, did Obama raise taxes on low income families?
@varia0903 Change the argument? And now you are just making things up I would have noticed a tax increase I remember when my payroll taxes were reduced.
@menotyou48 By the way, it's not just a hope that it would trickle down, that's actually been proven historically, unlike the Keynesian economics of the Democrats which has never worked. And no, it didn't work during the Depression era either. You can thank WWII for the end of the Depression in the US.
@chriswpieper In regards to your piss poor concept of history, the Republican party was liberal, for the time, but not liberal in today's sense. They're ideals matched closely with today's conservatives and today's liberals would've them. The reason the confederacy tends to vote republican is because over time the values of the South (not the political parties) has changed. The south on average is more culturally diverse than the north and more concerned with religious liberty than slavery.
@evesdrop1982 take your head out of the sand. if you really think republicans will do anything but keep us on track to become a corporate-owned police state, you're being naive. stop defending political parties like they both aren't two sides of the same god-damned coin.
@auglio Actually, dumbass, I couldn't care less about the political parties, I just really can't stand liberal morons who would rather use subversive propaganda to control and subdue than actually do anything to help the country or promote freedom. Although, my guess is, you are probably one of those liberal morons, since you decided to ignore the leftist nonsense on here supporting Democrats. Tool.
Amazing video, but i don't vote for party. I prefer to look at the individual candidates and i don't believe that these republican candidates deserve my vote. If anything i like Ron Paul because he fights for the things that i believe in and the things that i don't agree with him (certain social issues) he still manages to prove to be a much more knowledgeable person than the rest of the candidates
@rezolution5 Paul is knowledgeable and spot on in terms of fiscal matters but he's not at all effective. Take a look at his record and you'll see why he's struggling so badly.
@saberur66 Yes, but he still wasn't effective. The problem is, in his entire career, he's gotten like one bill passed. As President he'd still have to be able to work with Congress, he'd still have to be able to work with people who don't necessarily agree with him in order to get things done and his record doesn't really give any indication that he can do that.
Terms like "conservative" and "liberal" have taken on different meanings over the years...but the Republican and Democrat platforms, policies & philosophies haven't changed that much since the mid-1800s. Anyone believing there was some kind of mass migration between the parties that would somehow make Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, Hiram Revels, Josiah Walls & Joseph Rainey politically/philosophically synonymous to the Democrats of today is very, very sadly misinformed.
Stupid Republicans. Yeah..let's support corporatism and unregulation...corporations are the ones that create the jobs right? At least the government does things with good intentions even if they don't always work out. Corporate greed would gladly pay you $3.00 an hour, no benefits, and require unlimited working hours. Yet, anytime regulation is proposed Republicans call it communism. Government isn't some monster, it's there to make your lives better and does so everyday.
Google malthusian eugenics then Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Read current comments/speeches from many of it's top members today. Connect dots. Racism still going strong among Dems.
you cant spell Nazi without Socialist Workers party?.... I can..

evesdrop1982 3 days ago
@evesdrop1982 The early Republicans actually weren't pro-free market. However, The Jeffersonian Democrats (who were ironically older than the Grand Old Party) where very laissez faire, which at the time was correctly seen as the economic system that best favored the working class. However, when the Democrats adopted the fallacy that a strong government (traditionally seen as the enemy of the working class) could help the poor, the parties swapped economic policies.
theJMBgamer 2 days ago
@theJMBgamer Ah, the Whigs weren't pro-free market, but, although Republicans branched from the Whig party, they weren't actually one in the same. 19th century Republicans were in general for a free market, although they did support high tariffs. They preferred a business oriented economy, and the Protestant piety of Prohibition (among other things). Some economic policies were, necessarily, modified over time for both parties but the idea that they completely switched is a bit misleading.
evesdrop1982 2 days ago
@forforman True, the Whig and early Republicans were mercatalists and protectionists. At the same time, the early Democratic party was very libertarian, but ironically favored slavery. However, the Republicans were always seen as the party of the rich, and the Democrats as the party of the poor. The parties flipped their economic theories when Democrats adopted the false notion that the poor, and society as a whole, could be more prosperous under a welfare system.

evesdrop1982 1 day ago
@evesdrop1982 You should realize that what you are saying is nonsense. Making healthcare available to everyone can't lower the quality of healthcare for people who don't currently have healthcare. Your statement that it would lower the quality of healthcare for everyone is not logical. It is also true that it is selfish that those with healthcare would let others die from lack of it rather than share the healthcare resources that are available. It is worse than selfish, it is immoral.

@varia0903 That is simply not true. Your argument is nonsense and illogical. There is no way that someone who has no access to healthcare can possibly have the quality of their healthcare lowered. You opinion of your grandmother's medical treatment is subjective and not supported by fact.
TheCommonMan101 7 hours ago
@TheCommonMan101 Wrong, it's not subjective, it's fact. She was actually outright told that by her doctors. It is however, anecdotal, still supported by fact (incidences of denial of care based on current health and prognosis under Obamacare and socialistic health systems around the world is well documented) but not subjective. If you had a quality education, you'd know the difference between anecdotal and subjective. Not having health insurance doesn't equate to not having access to care.
varia0903 7 hours ago
@varia0903 Actually it is subjective since your statement was supported by nothing more than your opinion. You apparently are then one who lacks a formal education since you lack any knowlege of logic or critical thinking.

@TheCommonMan101 Again, it wasn't subjective, because the statement is supported by more than just my opinion. You have no understanding of actual healthcare. I'm not talking about just pain management, dipshit. Show me proof that a hospital will deny care to someone simply because they don't have insurance? It won't happen. They will get care and get a bill. Grow a brain.

@TheCommonMan101 An example of how you can have access to care regardless of insurance, myself. For decades I didn't have health insurance. I was still able to see the doctor. Still able to go and did go to the hospital when needed. Care was still available regardless of insurance status. The fact that you missed the original point that there is a national standard of care that exists regardless of individual standard of care that will be lowered was pretty predictable.

@whbon73 Fascism actually has elements of both leftist and right-wing political ideologies and most competent political scientists today won't place it entirely on one or the other side. Why? Because fascism strongly resembles communism on the left with it's emphasis on strong centralized government, government control of the economy, and the denial of the individual. It's strongest "right-wing" element is the strong sense of nationalism. Public education fails another liberal. Enough already.

@eavesdrop 1982 You seem to think Fascism and Totalitarianism are one and the same. You're also confused about the differences between Liberalism and Conservatism. The central concern of Liberalism is safeguarding individual freedom from abusive authority (no, corporations are not victims of the government). Conservatism, on the other hand, champions hierarchy over equality, and community over the individual. So, that private education you apparently received was a rip off.

3) The terms "conservative" and "liberal" change in meaning ever few generations. Voting habits and beliefs of local populations do as well.

Since 47% of a Americans don't pay any federal income tax, how are you going to give them a tax break?
Tax breaks can only be given to those who pay taxes. Otherwise it is called wealth redistribution.

@chriswpieper Actually, republicans don't want the "opposite". They don't want to tax the people who work hard for less money. That's a typical thing for a liberal tool to believe, but it simply isn't true. Republicans don't want taxes increased on anyone..OWS is definately not a peaceful movement. More rapes, murders, riots, and vandalism in that group than ever occurred during the Tea Party protests, which actually were peaceful.

@evesdrop1982 Also, OWS is about regulating the financial sector on wall street and reinstating the regulations that protected us from financial catastrophe for nearly a century. The only reason people like you think otherwise is because the corporate owned media makes a lot of money on that racket and has a vested interest in keeping it running, so they paint OWS as socialist hippies that want to raise taxes and take away your bibles.

@auglio Yeah, you are an absolute tool. Owned by the liberal propaganda machine. Try educating yourself on economics, regulations, and the various ways in which Keynesian economics does not work. You're probably one of those uneducated dopes that actually thinks FDR and Keynesian economics got us out of the Great Depression. Pathetic. OWS painted their own picture. They actually did chant anti-semitic rants, vandalized stores and city property, rioted, killed, and raped people. That's reality

@auglio By the way, I loved the subversive dig at Christianity. It's nice how you liberal morons throw those in at every chance you get in a nice superior tone because it just does so much to further your image of being "tolerant and open-minded" as opposed to oppressive, egotistical, and bigoted with a socialist (or nazi in light of the rampant anti-semitic attitudes) bent. Try the libertarian high road, you may gain something...like an actually intellectual argument.

@evesdrop1982 Why did Reagan raise the tax rate on the lowest income brackets while he lowered tax rates on the top brackets then?
menotyou48 5 days ago
@menotyou48 1. They are talking about the Republican and democrat views of how taxes should be handled during this recession NOT during the Reagan years. Right now most Republicans don't want to raise anyone's taxes. 2. Reagan is not the only Republican in the world and he is not a perfect representation of the conservative ideal, dimwit. That's as intelligent as asking "if liberals are against starting wars with countries that aren't a direct threat, why did Clinton invade Kosovo?"

@varia0903 Then why are republicans trying to implement the same solutions, lower taxes on the wealthy and hope some of that trickles down.
menotyou48 3 days ago
@menotyou48 You have no concept of reality outside the propaganda you swallow, do you? Most of the Republicans don't want to raise the taxes on anyone. It's not so much about lowering the taxes on the wealthy, it's about not raising them from where they currently are. The majority of Republicans are advocating keeping taxes static or lowering them for everyone (not just the wealthy), and cutting spending. The candidates differ in some areas but those two things apply to most of them.

@varia0903 "47% don't pay federal income tax" every candidate has cited that misleading statistic and proposed ways to raise taxes on that 47%
menotyou48 1 day ago
@menotyou48 Actually, no not "every candidate" has proposed a way to raise taxes on "that 47%" that don't pay a federal income tax although a fair tax system would be a smarter, more effective, more efficient system than the one we have now. Ron Paul, for example, has a plan to eliminate federal income tax altogether which is hardly raising the income tax on that 47%

@menotyou48 So you're strategy is that when you're presented with facts, you simply change the argument? Cute. Please, you still have to explain to me why, if Democrats are so concerned about the poor and their taxes, did Obama raise taxes on low income families?

@menotyou48 By the way, it's not just a hope that it would trickle down, that's actually been proven historically, unlike the Keynesian economics of the Democrats which has never worked. And no, it didn't work during the Depression era either. You can thank WWII for the end of the Depression in the US.

@chriswpieper In regards to your piss poor concept of history, the Republican party was liberal, for the time, but not liberal in today's sense. They're ideals matched closely with today's conservatives and today's liberals would've them. The reason the confederacy tends to vote republican is because over time the values of the South (not the political parties) has changed. The south on average is more culturally diverse than the north and more concerned with religious liberty than slavery.

@evesdrop1982 take your head out of the sand. if you really think republicans will do anything but keep us on track to become a corporate-owned police state, you're being naive. stop defending political parties like they both aren't two sides of the same god-damned coin.

@auglio Actually, dumbass, I couldn't care less about the political parties, I just really can't stand liberal morons who would rather use subversive propaganda to control and subdue than actually do anything to help the country or promote freedom. Although, my guess is, you are probably one of those liberal morons, since you decided to ignore the leftist nonsense on here supporting Democrats. Tool.

Amazing video, but i don't vote for party. I prefer to look at the individual candidates and i don't believe that these republican candidates deserve my vote. If anything i like Ron Paul because he fights for the things that i believe in and the things that i don't agree with him (certain social issues) he still manages to prove to be a much more knowledgeable person than the rest of the candidates

@rezolution5 Paul is knowledgeable and spot on in terms of fiscal matters but he's not at all effective. Take a look at his record and you'll see why he's struggling so badly.

@saberur66 Yes, but he still wasn't effective. The problem is, in his entire career, he's gotten like one bill passed. As President he'd still have to be able to work with Congress, he'd still have to be able to work with people who don't necessarily agree with him in order to get things done and his record doesn't really give any indication that he can do that.

Terms like "conservative" and "liberal" have taken on different meanings over the years...but the Republican and Democrat platforms, policies & philosophies haven't changed that much since the mid-1800s. Anyone believing there was some kind of mass migration between the parties that would somehow make Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, Hiram Revels, Josiah Walls & Joseph Rainey politically/philosophically synonymous to the Democrats of today is very, very sadly misinformed.

Stupid Republicans. Yeah..let's support corporatism and unregulation...corporations are the ones that create the jobs right? At least the government does things with good intentions even if they don't always work out. Corporate greed would gladly pay you $3.00 an hour, no benefits, and require unlimited working hours. Yet, anytime regulation is proposed Republicans call it communism. Government isn't some monster, it's there to make your lives better and does so everyday.
