G. Edward Griffin- On Individualism v Collectivism #2

PARTI 2 of 4 Interview of G. Edward Griffin on the meaning of individualsim vs. collectivism in the United States.

Let's re-learn the true nature of a constitutional republic, our culture and our birthright.

Know that any member of the Council of Foreign Relations CFR is prone to supporting COLLECTIVISM not individualism.

Vote for Ron Paul for President 08. Our last remaining hope for a solution to socialism, captivity, slavery and sloth.

It seems like he's saying collectivist are violent and individualist are not. Norway's terrorist was violent, and he was a individualist, and there are many cases when collectivist are peacefully effective. I think its that collectivist understand that there are social problems that should be solved, (thats way they become a group) and recognize that they will only be solved through collective means.

@dcrun7 Never the less... a constitutional republic, and the federal government created from it, and all 50 states constitutions PROTECT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS--- not 'special groups' who believe they can change or abuse certain individuals. A group doesn't exist without the individual and you will one day be very sorry that gov't has morphed into socialism when it is your individual right that the 'group' wishes to usurp.

Groups are fine as volunteers, not as governments.

@dcrun7 There is a big difference between a group of individuals coming together to solve a problem (i.e a group of townsfolk hiring a sheriff to keep order) and a group of individuals labelling themselves as a single entity. This type of mob consciousness creates people who believe others in the same labelled group have their best interests at heart. This leads to control of the many by the few. Mobs don't ask questions.

@Stillwater900 He certainly is and I thank you sincerely for taking time to comment on each of the videos. Just doing that and faving the videos is about all we have left, here on TheirTube, to keep the voices alive and well.

yes, it's about the principles of freedom and what the founding fathers had in mind when they were forming our constitution.
