Gore Vidal on liberty
Loading...
Uploaded by TheRealNews on Aug 30, 2007
The people who wrote the Constitution hated democracy
Says Vidal: We've always been an oligarchy of the well-to-do and are becoming even more so now. What freedoms we had have now been eliminated -- Magna Carta guaranteed us due process of law, the only good thing England left us.

Awesome post man, thank you for sharing.
-
Buckley, a great man??? Dream on and while you are dreaming, you may get a vision of the past!
-
@NoGoodBoyo1000 Buckley was an effete,snobby pontificating Republican jackoff, whose father kept him out of combat during WWII, and who, in turn, kept his own son out of Viet Nam.
-
Buckley was no great man.
He threw the JBS under the bus.
He lead the way for Nationalist Statism (Reagan Big Government).
He is a zionist shill.
-
Liberty is great, it's a shame only 2% wants it or knows what it is. TSA anyone?
-
Vidal is a statist elitist. He is the one with contempt for liberty just like the Bolsheviks who actually despised those whom they claimed to represent. Buckley was a great man.
-
whether agreeing or not with his opinions, his criticism of our state of media and cultural zeitgeist are brilliantly refreshing. it has become trendy to do so, but Vidal anchors it with the wisdom and confidence only an elder statesman of his caliber can. the fact that he does so not out of agenda or gamesmanship, but out of careful study of an American century speaks volumes.
on an aside, if i were to shoot a spoof of this interview i would have Stanley Tucci interviewing Andy Rooney (LOL)
-
Great commentary.
