Lloyd is a Marxist and dangerous for America! He is just ONE of the extreme radicals obama has appointed to advise him. WAKE UP AMERICA!

Full response begins around 3:55

The United States of America is NOT a democracy. We are a Republic. (I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.)

Lenin believed that people were Darwinian animals, and their behavior should be molded by government into ideal servants of the State. He even tried to employ Ivan Pavlov, the famous Russian animal behaviorist, to develop a "program" to "standardize the behavior of the proletariat. Pavlov was absolutely shocked! And if they didn’t comply, they were killed!

[Quasimoto44]

Of course the origins of this idea came from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who said people’s educations should be limited and molded to make them “good servants of the State”! Karl Marx inherited this concept through his father, a Rousseauan professor at the Univ. of Berlin. Mark Lloyd is simply a disciple of Lenin!

@Ob5erV3r You are a close minded racist, aren't you. FUCK rush and fuck you for bringing him up when I said nothing about his fat, bigoted, drug addled ass to start with.

Do YOURSELF a favor and read beofre commenting. By "Jordan Technique" I'm talking about controlling media access, not anything to do with race. You need to get out of your racism induced stupor.

[tobiasrobbins72]

@me2579 He's not talking about being more open. He's talking about closing off certain view points. the exact opposite. he's talking about the government controlling what is allowed to be reported and putting quotas on what can be said an when. It is ANTI-open mindedness.

LIbs can not stand conservative talk radio & they want it shut down. This is the guy who will do it. They will demand equal time on every station.

tobiarobbins, I never knew about the "jordan technique". Thanks for the education. You are exactly right and its this mentality of where we are headed with this administration wanting to silence our freedom of speech. According to them its freedom as long as you don't say anything (the truth) about them. These bleeding heart liberals better wake up and wake up now!

[tobiasrobbins72]

Yeah, he's using the "Jordan technique" of dealing with the news and one of his campaign officials publicly bragged about how they totally controlled what the news media was able to report about him (except Fox who they just cut off.

That is the Michael Jordan technique. He flat out told all sports news sources that they'll report on him the way he wants or he'll cut their access off completely so they had to go along because he was by far the most marketable & news worthy athlete at the time

[tobiasrobbins72]

Exactly. He uses words like "independant news" but if you pay attention to what he is saying, he really means "pre-approved news that only has a certain amount of pre-subscribed opinions" It's truly independant news that he is AGAINST.

Why is there always so much hate surrounding the idea of us as Americans being exposed to broader and more international perspectives. Most of humanity are not Americans and also have a point of view which should be heard. Anyone who wants us to become more global in our perspective is called a "socialist" or "communist" or "racist." This is absurd, and if these isolation-minded ppl were to step outside of there bubbles, they might see that the world has some good ideas that we could really use.
