Jan Mickelson schools O'Reilly on the gold standard

[sharkattacksteve]

Who really gives a FUCK what a bunch of guys in wigs with no electricity who owned slaves and who tried to wipe out the Indians wrote or said or thought ?

Constitutionalists are no different than religious fundamentalists ala the taliban or the westboro wackos.

[RyLoTC]

@sharkattacksteve anyone can oversimplify anything to make it sound ridiculous, i.e. music is just a bunch of people beating on drums and blowing hunks of metal. the constitution was written before westward expansion when the indians were nearly wiped out so you cant say its writers tried to wipe out the indians. also the constitution, unlike any religious text, was written specifically to limit the power of government, NOT as a personal way to lead your life. but i do understand your viewpoint.

[sharkattacksteve]

The Constitution is an obsolete, outmoded, anachronistic document.

Soak it in heroin and I'll suck on it.

Workers of the world unite !

[eyelanboi]

President Paul!

[sharkattacksteve]

So all you Luddite constitutionalists think that it's remotely practical to think 300 million Americans are going to be running around like Pirates with bags of doubloons around their necks ? There isn't remotely enough gold or silver in the world for that dumbshits.

So we're all suppose to live our lives strictly according to a document that was written over 200 years ago without deviation ? I bet most of you take the Bible literally also

Welcome to the American Taliban. Fucking loons.

[AFRIKTODAY]

@sharkattacksteve Your level of idiocy is beyond description! The ancient Egyptian used to say that silence is one of the best expression of wisdom; you obviously do not possess that quality since you are talking about a subject you clearly do not understand. The quantity of Gold is marginal for the proper functioning of the Gold standard; what is important is the " price" of goods and service between the market participants. With a sound money standard ( gold AND silver), price will be STABLE

[sharkattacksteve]

@AFRIKTODAY I wasn't asking for a lecture on economics douchebag, Paul and the constitutionalists claim that paper money is unconstitutional so what are they planning on using ? Sea shells ?

LoL what a pretentious self important jack-ass you are.

[AFRIKTODAY]

@sharkattacksteve You are an idiot indeed! The constitution clearly states that only gold and silver may be used as money and the sole role of the government is to regulate its value ( maintain its value). The state shall not issue bills of credit ( paper money)! Until 1931, the US was under a gold standard and the " paper dollar" was merely a receipt for the Gold itself. With the creation of a central bank in 1913, the government debased the currency leading to our current economic woes.

[AFRIKTODAY]

@sharkattacksteve Look, it is not my fault if you are a pathetic ignorant who tries to debate things he does not understand at all. What do you know about monetary theory? Nothing of course! So please shut the fuck up and read a few books on these topics before trying to denounce Ron Pauls supporters. Unlike you, they have done their homework and they can detail a few reasons why gas price has spiked from $1.5 5 years ago, to almost $4 now! It is all about the value of the money! So, read a book

[sharkattacksteve]

@AFRIKTODAY LOL it's not my fault you don't understand that I'm asking what are we going to use for currency once Paul and the strict Constitutionalists have banned paper paper money which they have stated as their intent ...moron.

[AFRIKTODAY]

@sharkattacksteve Thus enabling consumers and producers to engage in sound economic calculation. Therefore, what is really important for a stable monetary system is for society to maintain the purchasing power of the money. Goods and service can fluctuate with the technological development, but money on itself need to be increased as much. Unlike our current manipulated monetary system, people would be able to save and invest for their future without being worried about currency depreciation!

[tBusket]

@sharkattacksteve The revolutionary war ignited by a corrupt banking system imposed on the colonies by a central bank in England, which collapsed the colonial economy instantly (Franklin & Jefferson's words)....sound familiar?? 1oz of gold, roughly the size of a quarter, is worth over $1600 right now. Would you need a bag to carry your wealth, probably not! Gold standard is the amount of bills throughout the nation, equal to the amount of gold in a government reserve! True money with no debt!

[theonlykatii]

BettyFordGalexy said: If you haven't registered Republican yet so you can vote for him, please do so soon!

What BettyFordGallexy said!

[KngsTiger]

Importantly, the constitution states the word COIN which is meant to represent only a commodity, or metal based, currency.  'Paper money' was not even considered as any form of 'money' itself but only as BILLS OF CREDIT which represented something else of tangible value, such as gold, silver, or some other asset. Our DOLLAR has no real TANGIBLE value of any sort and is purposely being inflated and devalued And if we continue with the other Dem and Repube clowns it will be debased completely

[KngsTiger]

O'Reily is nothing but a dullard and brainless talking hesd. The other dude certainly is also confused on the constitution and is nothing more than another statist steeped in the art of delusion and confusion. The constitution does not and never meant to give the federal government a MONOPOLY on money CREATION and gold and silver coins of many foreign countries where considered and used as legal tender in the USA.

[NCIcaucus]

Bill O'Rectum

[gmcconcord]

If O'Ridculous can't say anything intelligent, then silence would his best course of action. What an idiot!!!! And the sad thing is....he is so dumb he doesn't even realize how stupid he sounds. ROFLOL...... PATHETIC!!!!!

[pjmack79]

As being a stict constitutionalist/libertarian I really doubt Ron Paul would misquote the gold and silver debate. He's hardcore Libertarian and just O'Reily just sounds like an asshole...oh wait he is. lol

[profhe]

Ron Paul is "The Doctor", lol, he has a magic screwdriver too,but you Americans will never elect him. Your time is pretty much done. As much as I'd love my country to be the next superpower, there is too much uncertainty in the region with Pakistan China and Afghanistan. Same goes for China. Europe has an incestuous relationship with the US and with its sovereign debt crisis, it will be weak for many years to come. Look to Russia and Brazil. They are going to rule the world this century.

[TrippingTheTube]

That was a great pawing. Thanks for the video. I wonder if ORielly has wised up yet about thinking he's going to school Ron Paul on the constitution. Good lord.

[TrippingTheTube]

"it's not taken seriously" because most of you (like Bill) are serious idiots ignoring the constitution.

[ValDevoUrsez]

Jan Mickelson SHOULD RUN for President, if this election doesn't work out for Paul yet again! Unfortunately on the other hand, if we don't get our options right and our priorities straight this time!.. the country will likely be completely destroyed before Mickelson could ever achieve that chance.

[Rushtrdamus]

@ValDevoUrsez hahahahaha Yeah, he'd get 1% of the vote. He's a douchebag. Plain and simple.

He's what I call an American version of the Taliban. Wishing he could force the rest of us to follow HIS religious views. So please, put him up as a candidate. ANYTIME YOU WANT.

[tanksbb]

OReilly should have to publicly apologize to Ron Paul for his ignorance.

[anphernie]

@tanksbb

But that might give O'Reilly the idea that he has a right to address a superior intellect, on whose ass O'Reilly would not make a pimple

[turboscrappy]

Article. I. Section. 10.

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

[Bodine48]

O'Reilly the WANKER!

[stebecool]

I love Ron and support the gold standard, but if that's all that the constitution EXACTLY says, then, as a strict constitutionalist as he says he is, you couldn't say that not being on the gold standard is unconstitutional. It would be up to the judicial branch to decide if it is or isn't.

[Nieuws1]

That's an interesting story.

[Eric21ND]

@Nieuws1 Which one?

[Nieuws1]

O'reilly is such a douche bag.

[sleuth51]

Funny how this arrogant liar for hire can call others loons, when he himself is an absolute ignoramus. Ron Paul taught me to trust the Constitution and not my own preconceived notions. It really is that simple. As a nation we would be truly United and living in harmony if our politicians strictly followed the Constitution. democrat and Republican labels would become meaningless.

[Eric21ND]

Allowing government to print paper money = the mark of the beast

That's an awesome analogy LMAO!!

[1sniper1wolf1]

You work your ass off every day to earn a piece of paper that means nothing. What is it? How does it have value? It's just a sheet of paper that has nothing behind it.

[nikolayzou]

@1sniper1wolf1 Money is production and production needs to be stored by something valuable to grow wealth. That something valuable is gold or silver. I am happy to convert my paper money into gold before we will be wiping our ass with it very soon.

[joepeeler34]

@nikolayzou A gold/silver standard isn't Paul's ideal system. It's true that the Constitution instructs that gold and silver are to be the government's money, but the Constitution does not prohibit private mintage. It was common up until the 1860's when the government outlawed the practice to shore up its money monopoly.

Paul advocates competing currencies. Let the market decide. I suspect that gold, silver, and to a lesser extent copper would be the preferred monies, but let people decide.

[nikolayzou]

@joepeeler34 I think opening up the market for competing currencies is a great idea. It wouldn't take too long before people realise that currencies based on gold are immune to inflation and paper currencies are good for wiping your ass with. Let the people decide, great idea.

[TheGetor]

O'Reilly is a smart guy but so misguided, or too much on the inside of the Kabal. And I don't watch him anymore. He is a nobody. And Nickiolson? Wonderful to listen to him!

[magentawave]

O'Reilly asks "what are we to think of Ron Paul?" Hey Bill, we don't need you to tell us what to think and we don't care what you think. Geeezuz, I guess that expensive Harvard education went right over your fat ass thick head, right Bill?

[imsewvain]

For a quick snd easily understandable lesson on this matter go to Trashing The Constitution How Misconstruction of The Monetary Powers and Disabilities Subverted the Founding Fathers Intent

[DarkGlitchX]

It's not enough to say "Vote Ron Paul"

PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.

IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !

WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere

[decepticonsofnwo]

Coming off the gold standard does have to do with us having the worlds reserve currecny, with foreigners holding U.S. dollars they started exchanging them for the gold that was backing them, as Nixon seen gold reserves dwindling he took us off. There are cons and pros to this course of action, but long term "Paper money will return to its intrinsic value which is zero" Voltaire

[mamabritts]

People should get registered to vote if they really want a CHANGE. The vote that counts is the PRIMARY vote - after that - we really have no choice --- VOTESMART . com OOOOh yea and the horrible consequence if you dont..... the government you deserve. :)

[peterb37]

The reason for going off the gold standard was to screw our creditors.and pay for the war in Vietnam. Johnson instituted the Unified Budget to hide the costs in the last 60's, and left Nixon holding the bag. Actually between the two of them they left us all holding the bag. They only thing restraining the Government from spending us into oblivion when e are now was the limitations place on it by the gold standard where they could create money from thin air.

[imsewvain]

Congress shall emit no bills of credit.The Congress has conferred upon the Fed a power that Congress itself has never posessed.

[decepticonsofnwo]

@imsewvain terrrible how they have weasled around the constitution isnt it, congress cant issue debt as money but constitution doesnt say a private institution cant

[deepcgi]

Jan. Thank you. I was screaming these very words at the screen as I listened to the O'Reilly nonsense. The Gold and Silver WERE the currency. No paper money. And the constitution was never ammended to allow for it.

[danz177]

@deepcgi So congress work with the private FED to do what is illegal today for congress to do... print fake paper money. So, an amendment needs to be added, where in collusion between the private & public sectors to issue bills of credit is outlawed. So instead of saying congress shall emit no bills of credit, it should say, congress shall emit no bills of credit or commission private institutions to do so on their behalf. This would outlaw the FED, but congress wouldn't make such an amendment.

[naturalhuman3535]

Orilley flipped sides a while ago! He used to be against Obama and the elite, Remember War with the white house? right after Obama got elected! Guess the feds visited Orilley and he had no real balls to stand for what is right.

[MrPayincash]

@naturalhuman3535 Orilley is a pussy, I want to punch him in his mouth so bad.

[LeJimster]

O'Reilly = propaganda merchant. Him and his underling straight-flat-out lie about there being no mention of gold and silver as legal tender in the Constitution, thats absolutely shameful and potentially misleading millions of people.

[robot9991]

Thanks Jan! O'Reilly is SCUM - Banker owned SCUM.

[BettyFordGalaxy]

Thank you Jan! Orally needs some schooling. Ron Paul Rocks! If you haven't registered Republican yet so you can vote for him, please do so soon!

[mamabritts]

@BettyFordGalaxy you also need to look at your states primary rules. He HAS TO WIN THE PRIMARY in order for us to have a choice to vote for him as president.

[Eric21ND]

The disgust in Mickelson's voice is palatable.

[ausscyn]

Was this played for O'Reilly while he was tied to a chair so he couldn't escape?

[937kj]

RON PAUL THE MAN

[transferpoint2012]

Never heard of you Jan Mickelson, to google I go!

[Eric21ND]

Jan rocks!

[gold95]

Thanks JAN.... Schooling O'Reilly...lol
