Swanson: U.S. health care debate is a moral outrage

U.S. author, blogger, and activist David Swanson says that it's time for the American people to reclaim their country and create a new, different America. In his new book, Daybreak:Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union, Swanson warns of the deterioration of the very institutions that the United States was founded upon. He calls for citizens to take back the freedoms they have apparently lost throughout the past several years. RT's Dina Gusovsky sits down with Swanson in Washington D.C. as he tours the country to promote his book and progressive political views.

"We have a corporate media that's an enemy of democracy, there is no way to describe it."

ok we wait for the houses to save us when they are the ones that graved us. Sure lets just wait for another 50 years. I think it may be better then!

lol, true but many americans are waking up, though the media tries to marginalize how many of us know wtf is going on. But I'm sure by the time enough wake up to do something, it will be too late and full scale tyranny will be upon us.

That was the best arguement you could make?  Typical.

Anyway, if I may make another stab at debate of actual substance....how do you agree with the dickweed on this video and at the same time support Ron Paul and Peter Schiff?!?!?

Do you not realize that what the above dickweed is proposing is economic suicide that has been outlined daily by both Paul and Schiff??

Careful who you call dumbass. You're 40 years old, why does a young guy like me have to explain this to you?
