Do you own a teleprompter?

If any candidate is guilty of professing ideals for the sake of gaining power, it's him.

In the end though, that's what all of the candidates are doing.

great great video. I wish you could do a video about the Scandinavian countries, which are, in most cases, the "historic" proof that state supporters bring to the table when debating the issue. They say those countries has the highest taxes around the globe, and still have the lowest criminal statistics, highest wages and better life quality, arguing that the more taxes you establish, the better the hole country will be. Help me with that argument Stef! thx ;)

[Motherlandpluto]

@leadcreator You have no evidence or any actual source so your argument is irrational and invalid

@thorsmitersaw - suggestion, read the history of his "teenage slave girl" , Sally Hemmings whom Jefferson fathered 5 children and then imagine him not such a monster, if you have any children image one of yours in captivity to such a saint?

to quote George Washington, the real purpose of the establishment of the United States was to create a WORLD GOVERNMENT

[givemeabreakhere]

Jefferson had little or nothing to do with writing the US Constitution as he was in France at the time. To say that it was a document "he worked so hard to come up with" reveals an ignorance of the facts about Jefferson. Jefferson was certainly no saint, but get the facts straight if you are going to claim to present "real" history.

Jefferson violated the constitution, but seperation of powers still works fine. Gerald Ford was an avid antisemite, the assembly line still works fine.

fuckin A

[Shandalaybgood]

wow, they were liars.

[Shandalaybgood]

my favrit part is when you said "its us against them"! omg it made me laugh and laugh

[thorsmitersaw]

I still do.

I still consider Rothbard and Nocks writings on Jefferson to be largely inspiring. I realize he was no saint in office but I do not think him such a monster as Stef. (Especially compared to Washington)
