Hard working politicians Videos

+Rebel Dylan18 Sorry 'bout it!//www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/23/lewis-black-endorses-bernie-sanders-tells-bill-cosby-to-f-himself.html

+vitalhome The GOP said they would block Obama on any bill; I personally looked at 170 of them that he tried to pass but was denied, many that would have benefited veterans, the poor and the environment.   This said, Obama is a scapegoat for the GOP, and it is just a game to them.   I find Trump appalling and do not respect him, and he has never helped his community or showed any real care for anything except image, and I fear he is doing this for himself, not for the country, and it scares me.    I find Sanders to be honest, and his history speaks for the people

+carpo719 Yea but I'd rather have someone blunt and up-front than someone who pretends to be nice and then turns his back on his promises (like Obama). I didn't mean to literally compare Trump with Christie, I just think they're very similar in approach, "This is what I think and what I'm going to do and if you don't like it then tough."If I could hand-pick ANY candidate I think Rand Paul is my best match. Sadly he like his father before him, is too moderate to pander to the extreme right wing Republicans and thus probably never has a chance. That's why we never get good candidates - the Democrats pick a Socialist and the Republicans pick a hard-line social conservative, where I bet 90% of Americans (like me) fall somewhere in between.

+vitalhome True; but he doesn't even try to pretend to be nice :) I am not trying to single him out, he just stands out by his actions.

+vitalhome If anything he said resonated with reality, I would agree. I like his approach, and love the fact he stirs the pot. But his values are not the same as many Americans.(not mine for sure) I don't want a wall, I don't want to deport all the immigrants, I don't want bad relations with other countries, and I do not appreciate the way he talks to women and muslims. I don't see him telling it like it is at all, I see him telling people whatever they want to hear to get elected, while having no respect from any other politician, those like Sanders who spent 30 years in congress (Longest independent) and he is swept under the rug. I am all for bernie.

+carpo719 Hahaha. Doing good man.

+Corey Johnston It was.... :) It's dark out, what else is there?hope you're doing well brother !

Turned out good

+TheJennRogue yeah, those stair tiles were a nightmare.....

+carpo719 thanks carpo. As always, words of reason in a world of deafening noises.

+THE LOGIC ONLY ZONE AMEN!

So continue following the destructive foolish plan with no understanding or analysis of the cost benefit ratio?  Sounds like stupidity to me.

+BReal23 maybe so, but the price of surrender is so much higher.

+daniel boyd cooper It's a costly and unwinnable war that needs to end.

+failure2flinch take off the gloves and win the war on drugs.

+inSaneMHU but don't you know that a gun men seeing unarmed people will put his gun down? it's just human nature

+GunOwnerDan indeed.

+GunOwnerDan Yep! End the "War On Drugs" and 90% of street violence will vanish overnight!But nooooooooooooooooo... That makes too much sense. Not to mention it would put half the lawyers in America out of work.Shakespeare was right. The first thing we should do is kill ALL of those bastards.

Drew, You have rational view of the conduct of this nation. You read and think. I, a cynic by observation, experience and choice, have no expectation that the power in this "tribe" will fathom and develop systems that can "save" its dying. Homo sapiens, are not developing critical mass, with emphasis on "critical," it "leaders" are the lemmings of the species. The next may be intelligent enough to solve the problems it creates If there is anything left to do the work. The process creeps.

Free Trade is advocated by both parties. Mises INST. core beliefs are correct. Production = Stronger Currency = Stronger Economy Consumption = Weaker Currency = Weaker Economy. Most American Economist new this 100 years before the Austrian School even existed. Basically they are just behind. The reason most right wing austrians support Free Markets is because in the last 50 years none of our government spending goes towards anything productive, just consumption.

Interesting and ironic bit of history. I've always found that free market zealots have no idea what the term actually means. Free - You are free to paticpate, maybe not so free to abstain. Market - A set of rules defining how transactions take place. A free market that has no regulation is therefore an oxymoron. People who argue for such a fantasy world really are totally clueless about both economics and human nature.

Economics conceptions then and now is almost night and day practically. McKinley, in an 1880s speech does talk about free trade WITHIN a county. However, when it comes to the British Empires Free Trade and their cheap goods dumping policy due to the fact that their workforce existed at near slave levels, he was unyielding. Post FDR, its been erased from history, reduced to "You're either a Commie, or for free trade".

@Salvysahagun It's better that you go after the axiomatics of their beliefs, which tend to view mankind as just another animal. Modern day libtards in general don't have a clue about industry or productive processes unlike when manufacturing and farming dominated in McKinley's time. Today, porn or video games are referred to as "industries", which is a perversion of the term literally as well as figuratively.

Yes, the BE, pre-war nazi germany, and modern day China all have one thing in common, they are all cheap labour capitalists. Screw free trade, what the world needs is fair trade, fair to the people who's labour makes trade of any kind possible. If this means wacking a tarrif on nations that use sweat shops and environmental vandalisim as a competititve advantage then so be it.

Really? I can't think of one politician who can get beyond feeble slogans nowadays as far as economic policy goes, Ron Paul included. The speeches that I'm reading make modern politicians look like dunces. Except for FDR and JFK, I don't recall any explicit statements about the general welfare principle beyond LaRouche. Folks are afraid of being slandered as a Communist.

@Amiduffer If only we made all that garbage we waste $. /watch?v=Ve8vsIntwYc&feature=feedf Some time these guys make sense. I think Karl Popper has done a great job of deploying his right wing allies (Hayek, and Mises) to go to war with his left wing pawns (Soros via MoveOn.org) Love to talk sometime. My plan is to move to Mexico and teach List, and Carey

Post WW1, Germany was an occupied country, so that doesn't really count. However, they became such a strong industrial nation due to their abandoning Free Trade for a protectionist system modeled on the American System. Sovereignty, national banking, credit for internal development, and reciprocity would go a long way towards balance of trade again.

Do a test, Drew. Take some of the dialog from this video and ask people what politician made these statements. Chose regular folks at random, and see what response you get. We study this stuff like intellectuals, but most people don't have a clue. If you read Will Rogers it reads like it was written this week.. Frank

@Salvysahagun Sorry. The Austrian school was merely an outpost of the British Empire for the purposes of attacking Germany's adoption of Friedrich List's American System. Both parties have sold out, what can I say? The baby boomer generation running (or would it be better termed ruining) everything is hopeless.

@Amiduffer the question isn't so much "what is the ONE system that works" which is what most Parties and idealogies are argueing about. its should be more "which system will unleash mans god like potential" That is the American System

Indeed. I just read an interesting book The Failure of Global Capitalism: From Cape Breton to Columbia and Beyond by a Prof. at the University of Cape Breton. Now if only McKinley hadn't been such a rabid imperialist.

Example Adjusted to inflation the interstate Highway System cost a little over half of what the Stimulus of 2008 did. Now ask your self which did more for America?

If your read this without identifying the time-frame some people would think it was written yesterday. We all need to restudy history. Thanks, Drew Frank

@Amiduffer William Mckinley would dennounce Modern Day Republicans would Franklin Roosevelet denoucne Modern Day Democrats?

Fair enough, perhaps 'rabid' is too strong a word, but I still find his brand of American expansionism rather distasteful.

I would be wary of using a misleading term like rabid, which is a better description of Teddy and his slavish Anglophilia.

@Salvysahagun Sounds like classic gang-counter gang methods of those lovable oligarchs.

@Salvysahagun Hell yes, especially with Obama attempting to loot Social Security.

Think or die.
