"Try to solve public problems through private strategies" very true. The problem in this country is that people have been brainwashed to believe that the private sector can solve any problem. It can't. The only function of the private sector is to make money and thus profits. Social problems are none of tis business (even the ones it creates) and don't even talk about responsibility. Corporations dont believe in that.

what a surrealistic discussion... they actually believe that republicans and democrats are not 100% in ideological lockstep on issues of race?

we need a second Islamic movement in America

that's the only thing wrong with our nation.

God will not change a people till they want to change themselves.

A lot of vitriol has been directed towards the guest for the last 4 videos - sometimes it seems angry w/o being constructive.

In his defense: The Dems/Left/Progs. do shy from hard ball politics & since American politics has ALWAYS had this at its core this is a weak position.

His other point that the people need to pitch in a personal (or community) level w/o relying on the Feds is just smart citizenry.

At least this guy recognizes the problem with left-wing forces today - they are far too feeble. We who ascribe to left-wing principles seriously need to grow some balls if we want to be effective and I'm deadly serious about this. It was ineffective, compromising, "moderate" leftists who in large part paved the way for Hitler and Mussolini taking power because they didn't stand up against them. In the 21st Century we can't afford to back down.

I don't know if I missed something, but did Powell say Van's dismissal was about race? Did Jay hint to this? Can you please tell me what lead to your statement? Thx.

Oh one more thing! this guy puts on this pleasant smile, first it those not go with his subject, and then behind those eyes I see HATE.....

this is bullshit I cant stand it, haha we need hip boots for this video, the better the race relations get, the more the race card gets played and the more we hear from the profestional race agitators. if you have taken algebra in high school you know this equation is all wrong
