  • Its crazy, everywhere on youtube is filled with nothing but Ron Paul lovers, including myself. Why when ever I hear anything about him from the mainstream it always, "Ron Paul is loosing" We need to make sure Ron Paul gets into office this year.

  • @krautattack100 Its an uphill battle. We can't sit on the sidelines. We can't just blog and watch videos and like links on facebook about how he is doing so well by getting 2nd place in such and such a state. That's not enough. He needs to win states. Gingrich, Sanctorum, and Romney all have won states, Ron Paul has won none. Volunteer to work the polls on election day in your state. Talk to everyone you meet. Join a group on meetup. Raise extra money to donate. GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH

  • That was an excellent smack down as Dr. Paul does himself to EVERY candidate he debates. Thanks for that, enjoyed this very much.

  • Life doesn't start at conception, anyone with a basic understanding of biology would disregard that almost immediately.

  • @CursedKisame I hate how this is even an issue. Its none of the governments business. I think that abortion and gay marriage are just distractions so to keep us bickering while the democrats and republicans take turns fucking us in the ass. there is no point debating these issues because people on both sides will never agree

  • I vote for him soley based on his character and integrity the fact that his policies are constitutional and fucking awesome in every way is just a bonus

  • vote ron paul, we know obama will rig it thou

  • if your not voting ron paul then you have no right to speak at all . or a right to post things like this on the net . you have lost your rights . and if anyone other then ron paul is in office i'll loss my right to . dum americans , cant you agree we have aready lost some .

  • I'll give you a reason: HE'S A STATE'S RIGHT ACTIVIST.

    If a state chose to continue the war on drugs or tell you that sodomy is illegal, then he'd have no problem with it.

  • @dtothelu Damn Govm't taken away my SODOMY!!!!

  • @VELOC1RAPT0R It's a serious issue if he thinks state government should be allowed to regulate our lives to up to that point.

  • @dtothelu Look, handing over jurisdiction currently in the hands of the federal government to the states will not mean that states can suddenly run oppressive feudalistic oligarchy's, they are still bound by the same rights and limits on government control, that the federal government is. The only difference is you can run away from a bad state, not a bad nation.

  • @VELOC1RAPT0R True, I'd rather have a couple tyrannical states than a tyrannical nation. I just don't like how some people are making him out to be someone that'll instantly give us the liberties we deserve in this country. His constitutional commitment to state's rights over civil rights is kinda frustrating in that regard.

  • A losing vote is not a wasted vote.

    It still makes a statement.

    And if a few people get together and convince a few people to convince a few people to "waste their vote" we can not only make a statement, but we can win, or at least set the stage for a win for freedom in the future.

    Ron Paul for President.

    Tell one,

    Tell all,

    Vote for Ron Paul.

  • i bet 386 people thought this video was against Ron Paul.

  • Well Ron Paul won't win, so none of this matters. Obama 2012

  • For those who are in favor of Affirmative Action allow me to explain what it really is: an insult. A.A is not a means to promote equality. Instead, it debases social equality by labeling minorities as being 'intellectually inferior' by reducing academic admission standards for colleges and university's that would not be modified otherwise. Would you want to support an abject bill drafted by people who believe members of your race, ethnicity ect...are primarily comprised of morons?

  • @worseorbetter Not true. People and institutions recognize the importance of diversity. I have a few friends that attended a university for diversification reasons and they received lower tuition rates. It made good sense for them to do so. They didn't feel like they were being labeled anything but a minority at the school. And yes.. they were white guys.

  • blah blah the states can do for themselves because the states do such a good job of individually stomping all over the rights of every group besides rich white men. According to these people the states should've individually decided to overturn jim crow laws so we could still be dealing with that shit today. They want the states to decide to overturn racist drug laws? They'd just impose the death penalty. My rights and freedoms are federally protected so dumb yokel states can't vote them away

  • @Craddockabilly True but you still can leave your state can you not?

  • @RedDeadKBII You couldn't set a better stage for another civil war.. but to answer your question..with some Tom Petty..no...I don't have to live like a refugee.

  • Using words like ridiculous and absurd discredits your argument

  • FUCK YOU BRO! RON PAUL IS A FUCKING LEGEND!!!!!

  • What I learned from this video: Anyone who believes that the best way to sway someone to their side of an argument is by telling them over and over and over and over and over again that they are out of touch with reality, is themselves out of touch with reality.

  • Its funny the 'federal' in federal government doesn't exist... because the government and federal are two completely different things. Its a big company like the fortune 500. It just makes the money and since federal is on the money, people started to think that federal is the government even though its not...

  • I really liked Ron Paul until this video.

  • I appreciate the rhetorical prowess behind the notion of "ultimate minority" expressed here.

  • Vote for Ron Paul, set the USA free.

  • The UN really don't do any good...they bring a couple guns and some food and when the Real job of protecting innocent people comes, they run away with their tail between their legs.

  • If I were Ron Paul, I wouldn't want you talking for me, your condescending tone is tired and just as bad as any of the other rhetoric I have witnessed in this election cycle. You think you are right, you have your opinion,like about the minimum wage but to automatically assume that all those who disagree have quote "a twisted sense of reality" makes you out to be one of the whiniest, shrill Ron Paul supporters I have come across...Yep, all the others are tools, yet you appear to be the biggest.

  • I am sorry... I was not a Ron Paul supporter before, then I watched this... I did not change my opinion on Ron Paul. Terrible showing...

  • @mgband If you don't support Ron Paul, you either do not like freedom or you haven't actually done the homework... Yeah, vote for someone who will tell you exactly what you want to hear instead of what you NEED to hear.

  • You may have a better chance of having a significant discussion if you were to drop the condescending tone. Also, the arguments you make a so full of holes and personal opinion.

  • Yaaa ron for 2012

  • yeah i like the windup=%100 Ownage.

  • 2012 end of the world

    unless we elect Ron Paul

  • @MrTheBeast there have been 514 leap years since caesar created leap year in 45bc. So taking that into account if it weren't for leap year it would be july 28, 2013. The mayan calendar did not account for leap year so technically according to popular belief the world should of ended 7 months ago lol. Yay for science

  • @Mirthfull Actually, the concept of leap year is exclusive to the Gregorian Calendar which Christian and Western culture made standard. The Mayans used a different system entirely for their calendar. The date of December 21st is an already translated date from Mayan calendar to ours. Yay for science.

  • ron paul 2012!

  • You need bigger tits, or a more convincing demeanor, or something, or some ambiguous

    je ne sais quoi, or maybe background music, I don't know.

    The message resonates, the messenger, not so much.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • SEMPER FI BROTHER KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

  • Wow, the original story is gone... Dead Link

  • How much money is the government giving you to run this video ? This video cant change my mind and shouldn't to anyone else RON PAUL 2012 We the people need to rise and stand up to government there more of us than them don't let them brain wash you .

  • @MrNIN22 Uh...did you watch the video? He's for Ron Paul. :)

  • RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • Ron Paul 2012

    

  • i wish i could vote and help ron paul

  • DOWN FOR OBAMA! RON PAUL 2012!!!! IM VOTING RON PAUL THIS TUESDAY!

  • "the internet is full of them(ron paul supporters)", that's an odd way of saying he has many who want him to be president. lol being president of the U.S. has become a dirty title, Ron Paul is the only candidate that can restore integrity to that position.

  • The goverment is scared. They don't want Ron Paul to win because he will reveal the truth of our problem. And that just makes me want him for president even more! RON PAUL 2012 !!!!

  • @MadHornetSeries Well said!! That is the Truth!!

  • @MadHornetSeries GOD DAMN RIGHT, Our govermnet is filled with a bunch of greedy assholes. and they hide there true agenda, But most americans are to stupid to realize the truth

  • he wont win. hes a slimey goofball shill in an ill fitting suit.

  • @SeerSucker1981 really thats all you got?!

  • @SeerSucker1981 If you got into a debate with Ron Paul he would tare you a new anus hole.

  • Very nice

  • Adam Kokesh is quite intelligent !

  • the internet generation, like myself, is packed with ron paul supporters. in 25 years when all of us have kids old enough to vote, we might be able to elect someone who actually cares for freedom like paul.

  • @GiftedSlacker I know. I see this so much in my generation, like yours. I'm 16 years old and I think that our generation is probably one of the most unique ones that the US has ever seen. Ours has many ideas in it but we also have our flaws I suppose.

  • haha i love your sarcasm

  • corporate elites dont want you to see the stories featured on CHANNELEDKNOWLEDGE:ORG.. why else would the mainstream media choose to ignore such interesting stories..? check out our archive and see why they are sacrificing their ratings to keep the public docile..

  • I have been avoiding this video for a month due to the title but i'm glad I finally watched it, this is great! Ron Paul 2012!!

  • Oh my god, when you gave your ten reasons for why we should not vote Ron Paul, I busted out laughing so much that I cried. I almost died of laughter.

    You sir, deserve many internets and E-Cookies.

  • "because the federal government, THAT IS NEVER CORRUPT AT ALL..." I just love that comment for so many reasons. This was a wonderful video, Adam. Please continue to make more of these. Clearly, there are too many Americans who choose to be ignorant towards utter perversion.

    Ron Paul is clear in that his efforts are to reduce the involvement of the federal government, and nothing more. People who make these disingenuous assertions should be punched in the face and knocked out.

    - Abysmal Blade

  • @AbysmalBlade1 amen.

  • Click on link to read article: PAGE NOT FOUND

  • Gawd, can't wait until this electoral season is over so all the knee-jerk Ron Paul fanboy "mavericks" will crawl back into their dens of silence and ignorance.

  • I also think--though generally I like Ron Paul's ideas of letting states decide--that gay marriage is one of those things that is much more complicated. If a couple of lesbians or gays get married in one state and then are forced to move to another state where gay marriage is illegal, what's going to happen to their benefits? Do they just disappear?

    Not saying I support the fed regulating it, but it's more complicated than I think you characterized it.

    Nevertheless, a good video. :)

  • Personally, I like Ron Paul a great deal, and I'm a registered Democrat whose views have shifted more towards the Libertarian end of things.

    That said, while I agree with much of what you're stating, I think you might be getting a little too upset and over the top in response to an individual who is clearly on the fringe of the Liberal party, and I find it SOMEWHAT offensive that you characterize all modern liberalism the way he portrays it.

  • Then u bash liberals for not supporting RP. Bottom line: there is zero evidence that Ron Paul's radical philos would make any positive changes to any aspect our lives. The only fact, well thing u claimed 2b a fact, u stated is about when life starts. This obviously is an opinion dive there is no clear definition of 'life.'. Second, how would u unforced this antiabortion policy. Fact is that if a woman doesn't want to let u know she's preg there's no way u would ever know. Ever.

  • @psistarpsi80 "YOU", NOT "U", YOU PRICK!

  • I love how predictable the Paul bots are. Top two comments: Ron Paul, Ron Paul. Look. Without a minimum wage do you think that a company like McD would hire people for what? You want to abolish the min wage so a baby sitter can get on the roles? Why? Sounds like gv't getting in the way to me. To each of the tools write in arguments u respond 'come on, Come On!' then went on to state 0 facts.

  • You actually made the case... that without the EPA... people would stop polluting.

    What special smack are you smoking, buddy? Does it hurt when you make such twists in logic?

    Or do you actually believe that people only pollute because it's illegal... like teenagers being rebellious against their parents?

    This is why libertarians scare me: the historically blind belief that everything would work fine, if only the government steps aside. Because people are SO NATURALLY GOOD! Yep!

  • @DaystarEld The government should serve the people. Simple as that.

  • @WTFjustNEWS "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - Thomas Jefferson

    "When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

    "Only Americans can hurt America."- Dwight D. Eisenhower.

    "Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." - Ronald Reagan

    "Man is not free unless government is limited." - Ronald Reagan

    Some quotes.

  • @WTFjustNEWS And the people suffer from pollution. Scientific fact. Whether it's chemicals in the water or smog in the air or poor disposal of wastes... even if you don't believe in global warming, people sicken and die from the practices that were rampant before the EPA came about.

    So Ron Paul wants to get rid of that... why? Because people can hold each other accountable? Right. Has Ron Paul been to any poor areas, where industrial pollution is rampant even with regulation?

  • Typical Ron Paul acolyte: "Everything will be better without the federal government getting involved in!"

    Yeah! Because we don't read history, and choose to ignore all the events that caused the federal government to be involved in the first place!

    Sorry guys, I like things like the FDA. I don't completely trust big government, but I SURE as hell don't trust corporations not to go back to the deceitful, self-centered, morally bankrupt practices that were rampant before government stepped in.

  • if you're black and don't like ron paul then you're obviously racist.

  • @HanStanwell LOL

  • When you begin to scratch the surface, it becomes obvious that Ron Paul isn't as great as people make him out to be. Yes, he's better than every other Republican presidential candidate to come down the pike, but it doesn't take much to accomplish that feat. I agree with his anti-war/isolationist views, but he wants to eradicate all social programs. That would hurt a lot of needy Americans, and I can't support that.

  • I came to defend the man, only to see it was done for me.  RON PAUL 2012! The only candidate worth voting for!

  • I wonder how many people came here to defend Paul., then realized it's not Anti-Paul

    I agree most, if not all, of the downvotes are cause of the title. But it's a good title considering it will also draw anti-Paul folks and it can change their minds. Good job.

  • man you have great explanations but i would like to say that probably 90% of the dislikes for this video is from the title of the vid itself and the slow start. i almost disliked this but hung on just a little longer to hear your points. good job on the detailed articles though.

  • You should start with the 10 reasons that you made in the end, then read the ones you started with because it is kind of long and at the first I almost stop watching

    Thank you

    And Ron Paul 2012 YES!

  • right on!!!!!

  • Ted dot com's talk by Chris Bliss called "Comedy is Translation" is something you should watch. Maybe you aren't intending to be persuasive, but are like Rush Limbaugh spends his 3 hours a day preaching to the choir rather than trying to persuade non-believers.

    Love your reporting man, but assuming that the liberal agrees with B.H.O. is kinda silly.

    Also asking the way you are in the first half turns off people who don't agree.

  • RON PAUL IS FOR HEMP PRODUCTION, LET THE STATES REGULATE THE USE OF CANNABIS, HEMP PRODUCTION WOULD DIMINISH THE USE OF OIL AND PAPER, IS NOT THAT THE MOS PRO ENVIROMENT, PRO LIFE, PRO GREEN WORL ANY BODY THERE IS????????????????????????????­??????????????????????????????­??

  • Please vote for for Ron Paul/Poland

    ps. Yes I copied it

  • that summer bitch just got slayed

  • I'm so glad you took this '10 reasons' piece to task. Good Work

  • Ron Paul needs to quit the Republican party and start his own Libertarian party. Democrats = Republicans.

  • Thank you Adam for your efforts in spreading this message of freedom.

  • Ron Paul's Racist Shrimp Recipe.

    See it by putting "watch?v=Qhrb--6CngI" in the YouTube search bar.

  • RON PAUL!!!!!!!

  • The sites creators are probably a bunch of 12 y/o trolls, like the 1s on R.S, WOW & other online games. They'll drum up reasons to bash you even if they're not true or make sense at all.

  • RON PAUL 2012! HE'S OUR ONLY HOPE!

  • If you believe that under certain circumstances that abortion is okay, you aren't Pro-life. Being pro-choice isn't endorsing abortion, it's begrudgingly allowing it.

  • @Railware Being pro-choice is neither endorsing OR begrudging abortion. But allowing choice for the individual. 

  • @ActionJUK1,

    Abortion is a contradiction to the pro-choice believe because It takes away a babies right to live a happy life, not to mention It's murder how they have the nerve to kill them event If they SURVIVE the abortion process.

    Abortion= murder

  • @Haz3dNightfall alright, keep saying that? you will find the truth about abortion soon.

  • @IronGodSlayer,

    I should say this to you.

  • I GOT TEN REASONS NOT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO.

  • RON PAUL, RON PAUL <3!!

  • Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This man has a beard. His views are distorted and he's not to be trusted with facts.

  • I'd like to hear Ron Paul talk about the very alarming issues regarding our food industry: deregulated GMOs impacting our health & the very worldwide food system. Compared with the Fed, Monsanto is just as scary if not MORE. For starters check documentaries such as "Food Inc", "The World According to Monsanto", "Forks Over Knives", "Dying to Have Known". Don't take my word for it, just do your own research & homework by educating yourself, since nowadays what you DON'T KNOW CAN HURT YOU!

  • VOTE THIS UP! If you think corporate corruption is ONLY rampant in politics, mainstream media (ex: media blackout on Ron Paul), financial industry... EVEN scarier are the food, medical & pharmaceutical industry impact on YOU from companies such as MONSANTO with their strong lobbying, many conflict of interest(key ppl in the govt, FDA, EPA, Supreme Court are from Monsanto), hiding data about GMO impacts on health AND worldwide unethical tactics that makes Microsoft looks like the Salvation Army.

  • Ron Paul wants to end all the wars immediately and bring all the soldiers back home from all 900 bases in 130 different countries. He said he would use some of the money saved to support social security and medicare. And...the voters don't want that?

    Ron Paul wants to completely dismantle the Federal Reserve and return us to the gold standard so that our money has value again. And...the voters don't want that?

    Ron Paul wants to end the Patriot Act immediately. And...the voters don't want that

  • Very nice. Thanks, Adam.

  • If you Americans dont get your government back under control, we will all die...and some genetic clones will do our jobs - more effective and under lower costs.

  • the only problem i have with abortion and why i don't want it completely legal is because people would just abuse it. and we all know thats true and there are those moments where it wasn't a carless mistake (a.k.a. Rape). People would go hog wild with it and use it as a form of birth control.

  • @Dshredify How is it your business? Unless you are willing to adopt all of the displaced children that would be if abortion were to be illegal, then you need to keep your nose in your own uterus.....if you have one.

  • @kathrynk007 It's an impossible decision. I am not a women, and i kind of feel uneasy even having an opinion on abortion since men really shouldn't since it isn't their body. But i don't think it's fair for anyone who is raped for abortion to be illegal, but if you can just abort an unborn baby, Why not just have unprotected sex all the time with everybody if you can just kill what's inside of you? some people would abuse the fact that they can get abortions.

  • @Dshredify I think if a man is expected/obligated to provide for the child if the women decides to keep the child he should have some say for or against an abortion. I wouldn't know how to go about this personally but a father should have some say. I'm pro choice, but if a women can opt out a man should be able to do the same.

  • @shaggzm4 I don't see why a man should ever be able to tell a woman she has to get an abortion. Part of me wants to say that if a man does not want the baby and the woman does not want to abort he should be able to sign away his rights before birth and have no legal obligation. Then I think about the flip side. It took both of them to create a baby. Why should he not be held responsible just because the mother has different beliefs as him?

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • @AdamKokesh perhaps you might considering renaming this video to something like "Reaction to 'Ten reasons not to vote for Ron Paul'"

  • I am a democrat that is pro-choice, but I am still voting for Ron Paul. If abortion gets handled at the State level than some states will be pro-life and some will be pro-choice.

  • on god, Ronpaulgirl(obamagirl) is at it again

  • @kathrynk007 Why are you thanking him for this video when you say it stopped you from being a Ron Paul supporter? This video is in support of Paul and is intellectually arguing against the online article 'Ten reasons not to vote for Ron Paul'. Are you saying that though you were almost a supporter, Adam's points over this matter are what pushed you away from Paul? Excuse me for being a little bit confused by that.

  • @Volgowrath

    I thanked him for changing my mind. I now know who I am voting for. Got a problem with that?

  • So, what if a state decided to re-implement segregation again (like South Carolina recently tried to do...or it may have been North)? I guess that's a "state issue", right? The only reason it did not fly is because of federal law. How would we deal with that?

  • @kathrynk007 The 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits slavery. You know the Constitution? That thing you apparently haven't read.

  • @TheSpamjammer

    Actually, I have studied the constitution. LOL (love the assumptions idiots make). Are you saying that states follow the constitution? LMAO

  • Thank you for this....I was ALMOST a Ron Paul supporter. I am now not. Ron Paul is not for individual choice....otherwise, he would make abortion up to the individual. And, abolishing the minimum wage....not for that, either. And babysitters CAN work for whatever is agreed upon. With Ron Paul, people will start getting paid $2 an hour. LOL The only things I agree with Ron on is abolishing the war on drugs. And Social Security? Well, I would like the $ I paid into it back!

  • @kathrynk007 dude ur nothing but a sheep. You clicked this video and saw the amounts of likes and instantly thought that this was against Ron Paul. Your retarded gtfo.

  • @allof8death

    Ummm, who are you to tell anyone to "gtfo", troll? The truth is, Ron Paul will not be president. LOL

  • revolution is beginning Vote Ron Paul!!!

  • Adam I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you... and lemme just say that I like alot of what you say... but teh point i disagree withy ou on is this... I believe a man should absolutely have a say on whether or not his child has a right to life... especially if that man desires very much to take on all responsibilities including medical to see that child come to fruition, as well as care for that childs well being until that child is able to care for him or herself...

  • Affirmative action is about equal rights for minorities and any other use of that act is for the manipulation to be rid of it.  Minorities don't want special rights, just the same opportunities when they are available.

  • @BigletJohnson lowering/abolishing minimum wage would have an opposite affect, your right, that's exactly what I'm saying. There would be an expansion of companies in this country paying people slave wages. My point exactly. It don't matter if it creates more jobs if those people are earning a slave wage. As far as I'm concerned you wouldn't be able to call them jobs. A wage in this country is supposed to be fair and provide opportunity not force people on a hamster wheel they will never get off

  • @lv4boxing

    Excellent points. It seems that people WANT this to happen....but then again, a lot of people in this country love shooting themselves in the foot, sort of a self abuse thing. Abolishing the minimum wage would push us even faster into a 3rd world country. Good thing Ron Paul does not have enough support to actually win. A lot of people I know would have voted for him...but are choosing Obama instead.

  • vote Ron Paul

  • Vote Ron Paul!

  • Im a democrat not a stupid one or weak. I'm actually strongly considering voting for ron paul. I also agree that all the points made by the liberals against ron paul were pretty dumb and pointless. Except getting rid of minimum wage though. As if minimum wage wasn't already a slave wage. Now you want to say that it would be ok for companies to pay workers less than that? Again I totally agree with ron paul on pretty much everything but minimum wage is already too low. Anything less is horrible.

  • @lv4boxing I think the point that he should have made would be "would you accept a wage that was lower than you think you would be able to survive?"

  • @lv4boxing If minimum wage got higher then there would be even less low-end jobs as companies would downsize to keep their expenses the same. Lowering/abolishing minimum wage would have the opposite effect.

    Artificial inflation and thus devaluation of our currency perpetuated by our fiat money system and major banks is the real problem. By the way Obama in 2008 was endorsed by Goldman Sachs(1 mil), JP Morgan(800 grand) and Citigroup(730 grand). Then they got bailouts... coincidence?

  • FInd my facebook page "pledge to vote for Ron Paul in November!" please go "like" the page!

  • Dr. Paul is the ONLY candidate who is FULLY for the rights we are supposed to have and is FULLY a defender of our Constitution.

    If anyone votes for anyone other than Ron Paul,than you are not FULLY for our rights, our Constitution, our freedom. And thats the truth.

  • @brittiany04

    No, he's not. Not on everything.

  • Can I just say I am down with the small government thing...but Ron Paul will never be pres

  • If Ron Paul Fails to get the Republican candidacy, he will HAVE to run as an Independent. I have HIGH hopes that he will be the 2nd Independent EVER to become President. I have a feeling that a lot of RP supporters are not even Republicans at all. He might even still win the Republican bout. But even if he loses, watch how well he does as an independent.

  • Ron Paul 2012!!!! Fuck Romney and Santorum!!!

  • @heywazzup28 SANTORUM 2012! Fuck Romney and Ron Paul!

    BTW Romney and Ron Paul are friends, you know.
