    somewhere on the floor of the octagon that showcases the perennial struggle between freedom of expression and censorship lies a drain into which the putrid slobber (re: your comment) runs. on this channel...i won't delete the vacuous blurbs from evolution's errata; these stupid comments simply remind the big boys that smurfs in fact exist, and that--simply for variety's sake--we have to be careful not to squash your species to extinction as we walk the higher, harder road.

    p.s. : my apologies to Lazy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Papa, Grandpa, Baby, Smurfette, Nanny, Sassette and, of course, Handy.

  • This brings to mind Chomsky's quotation of Antonio Gramsci:

    "Pessimism of the Intellect. Optimism of the Will."

    Hedges has become one of the most impassioned voices sounding the warning bell re American fascism. Thanks for uploading this speech.

  • @ScotiaWaHey NOBODY FOR PRESIDENT-END THE LIE THAT IS STATISM-EVERY MAN BE HIS OWN LEADER>

  • Titan

    

  • I play this over and over, as needed.

  • Thank you for the great post! Hedges speaks to and for so many. Subscribed, sub back!

  • Yes,yes,yes!

  • This is SO MUCH better than the average idiotic Marxist speech I heard.

    This is freedom, this even sounds like JFK-like "conservative" liberalism.

    Vote Ron Paul 2012 and you'll get this speech IN REAL LIFE... or don't, vote Obama back, and it's gonna be MUCH WORST!!!!!
