Mr. Schiff would you do an analysis on the comments regarding Supreme Court Case Wickard v. Filburn 317 US 111 on George Gordon’s website George Gordon dot ORG — introduction series — by the way i agree with you entirely on your comments
“Good news…I don’t see it that way.” Why am I not surprised?
@TeaParty1776 To be clear, I will not discuss anything with you further, so don’t even bother firing another angry, misrepresentative comment at me. Such an action would only make you look even more foolish anyway. I pray for your enlightenment. God bless you.
@TeaParty1776 This is why I even bother with you. 1) it is fun to expose your foolishness, and 2) because I like the Tea Party. But, it has now been hijacked by extremists and the average, well-intentioned member of the Tea Party can’t be allowed to buy your BS. Grow up, get educated, and stop the extremism. Can’t you see that you are contributing to the demise of the Tea Party and our nation? Wake up!
@TeaParty1776 Look at the Preamble of the Constitution. The Framers wanted to improve on the government they currently had (to be “more perfect” than the Articles of Confederation), to ensure that government would be just, and would protect its citizens from internal strife AND from outside attack. That is exactly what I advocate! Perhaps you should learn a thing or two about patriotism and realize that extremism only helps the real “nihilists” you are allegedly opposing.
@TeaParty1776 {sigh} After two days, all you can come up with is a new false label? I’m a “nihilist” now? I am part of an “anti-reason, postmodernist combo of Leftists and Libertarians”, that is trying to destroy America? Those are lies and you know it! Anyone who reads this can clearly see who is anti-reason and who is the true patriot. Once again, you have only resorted to name-calling instead of addressing my points.
@GreenEggsAndHamster Your nihilist attack on values is despicable. Your current target is American foreign policy, the last hope for individual rights. What Nazi nihilists and Marxist nihilists were unable to destroy, ie, America, is the target of the new nihilists, a profoundly anti-reason, postmodernist combo of Leftists and Libertarians.
@TeaParty1776 And we certainly can’t allow gov’t to trample on our rights in the name of making us safer. To do so is to invite tyranny, and that is exactly what we have done for almost the last decade. As a patriot and a real conservative, I am outraged and you should be too.
@TeaParty1776 Hitler told people they had a moral duty to oppose “evil” too. Be careful to avoid the same trap. Our moral duty is to protect liberty, starting here at home. Yes, we need a strong defense, but we have to use it responsibly. We simply can’t afford to police the world and keep fighting wars.
@TeaParty1776 I’m familiar with the “good war” justification for our military empire. Indeed, the brave soldiers who served in WWII acted morally to stop the Axis Powers. But what if the world has changed now? What if the military empire we have built is now bankrupting us? What if people are misled to believe that our current foreign policy is still upholding that moral right, when in reality it is actually destroying our country? Please ask yourself these questions.
@TeaParty1776 I agree with all of that. How then, can you make your other statements? Can’t you see the stark contradictions? I’m not trying to make fun of you, I’m trying to educate you. Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate what you believe “rational” and “irrational” actually means. You are right to be angry about government now. I am with you, but we have to get to the real irrationality in America, our foreign policy.
@TeaParty1776 What? You mean all the BS you just said was just a test? Wow, convenient excuse. Please, don’t insult my intelligence further. When exposed to questions, your beliefs totally fall apart because they are oversimplified. This is why you have failed to address a large number of my points with any sort of relevant response. But thank you for being less aggressive today. At least that is a positive step.
@GreenEggsAndHamster Americans were physically responsible for terror bombing enemy civilians in WW2 but the our enemies were morally responsible. Our collectivist enemies forced us into a situation in which we had a choice between our own sacred lives and the lives of enemy civilians who were held hostage by enemy governments. There is no moral obligation to sacrifice. We had and have a moral right to defend individual rights from the bloody, morally depraved politics of the common good.
@GreenEggsAndHamster Rational principles are guides to life and happiness. They must never be compromised with the irrational. Individual rightss must never be compromised with the bloody, depraved fantasy of the alleged common good.
But one may compromise on applying a rational principle, eg, traders bargaining for a mutually acceptable price.
@GreenEggsAndHamster TEST
@GreenEggsAndHamster & @TeaParty1776…”only tyrants deal in absolutes..”
@TeaParty1776 How’s that for “enjoyable and rewarding?” Since you are new, here’s a little lesson for you: when you come on YouTube be prepared to encounter people who actually spend time thinking.
@TeaParty1776 We have over 700 military bases in 135 countries, to the detriment of our economy, and you talk about how bad our “collectivist enemies” were in WWII? Are we not enforcing global collectivism? Obviously you are. And you say people need ideological, extremist, absolutes? Oh, you mean like Al Qaeda? Do you realize that you sound like a terrorist? You act like you support the heroes, but the real “parasites,” “looters,” and “moochers” totally control your mind.
@TeaParty1776 Atlas Shrugged: “Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence.” Funding wars and an ever-increasing military industrial complex, which you have repeatedly supported, destroys our money! It produces massive debt, inflation, and property to be worth less. You don’t even understand this book. Plus, this is the only reference you offer? A 53 year-old work of fiction? Wow, I’m impressed.
@TeaParty1776 Are you saying I’m liberal? Sorry, wrong again. I am a REAL Republican. Where were you for the last 9 years that gov’t has trampled all over our individual rights? Huh? You have repeatedly attacked me personally and offered very little else, which, by your standard, makes you a liberal. You are just angry and want to lash out. Ok. But don’t think you can ram your beliefs down everyone’s throats with some tough talk. Those of us that value liberty don’t respect such actions.
@TeaParty1776 Hahaha! And now we can add: Nuking countries and slaughtering thousands of innocent people is the best way for us to proudly display our status as the “most moral society in history.” Please tell me one educated person who would agree with your points. I’d love to see the source of your information! You probably think you are a patriot, don’t you? Ha! Ha! This is too good!
@TeaParty1776 Ok, let’s get this straight. Cooperation is bad. People who try to compromise with those they disagree with have no moral values. Blindly supporting defense spending is righteous. People fit into black and white categories like “good” and “evil”. Collectivism is absolutely evil (“United We Stand”?). We can somehow compare our situation to Nazis and 1930′s Germany. And you actually think you just made me look foolish. Forget politics, you should go into comedy!
@GreenEggsAndHamster Nuke the opponents of the independent mind in Iran and North Korea. America, because of its individual rights, is the most moral society in history. We should slaughter our foreign enemies, cause their nations to run red with their blood, exactly as we did to our collectivist enemies in WW2.
@TeaParty1776 Sorry, I won’t be provoked by a 65 year old child. But thank you again for displaying your ignorance. In all of my posts I have presented a well rounded argument based on facts. You have only responded with personal insults and Fox News sound bites. I’m a spiritual prostitute? Person without moral values? Since you are so enlightened, please explain this to us all.
@GreenEggsAndHamster Liberals, having run out of ideas, rely on personal attacks. Liberalism is vanishing. The rotten liberal soul is no longer protected by plausible lies. The way is open for a rational politics of individual rights, ie, capitalism. It is the only politics which protects man’s properly selfish need to guide his own actions with his own mind. See _Atlas Shrugged_.
