Umm... why is Ron Paul calling Neo-Cons far-left?? It's not "just a name they gave themselves"... their principles REALLY DO STEM from conservatism or at least anti-Liberalism.
I respect Paul in many ways... but it's Orwellian the way he refers to Neo-Cons as Liberals, then cites Leo Strauss as the originator of Neo-Con thought... if you read up on Strauss, you'll find that he is ANTI-LIBERAL and Conservative in his philosophies/politics.
en.wikipedia.org...
As for Christopher Hitchens... he is only labeled a neo-con for his hawkish support of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars following 9/11... hardly a full-blood Neo-Con gatekeeper. He's actually considered to be left-wing, whereas most Neo-Cons are very GLARINGLY right-wing.
en.wikipedia.org...
Seriously... wtf is with the anti-left propaganda, Ron Paul?
Ultimately, however, this is about Left-wing/Right-wing Libertarians versus Left-wing/Right-wing Authoritarians. Libertarianism versus Authoritarianism... and Libertarianism's roots are largely in the left-wing (i.e. Liberal/Liberty>Libertarian) but are also applicable to some right-wing belief. Anarchism is essentially left-wing and is the most potent form of Liberalism/Libertarianism.edit on 4-9-2011 by NoHierarchy because: (no reason given)

Great Video... Great Find by the OP!!!
The video made pretty angry actually. But it's not because I didn't know this, it's because I realize how many people know this and yet we all sit here behind our computers and talk about what we should do rather than do something about it.
The country is only as strong as the people that support it. It's the defeatist attitude that we all have taken that makes us weak. Ron Paul will never win, because the Neo Cons control everything. Ron Paul won't win because we as a nation believe in the BS that the MSM feed us. There are few that see the truth. They control the separation of the American people. Within this divide holds the defeat of a nation.
Is it true? That we have been dumbed down? That we believe that we are all already defeated? That Americans are just a bunch of fat lazy people feeding off the tit of the government and believing in their misdirection politics, while we watch American Idol and eat and drink whatever the Big Gov will feed to us? IS THIS TRUE?!
Doesn't this make you angry?! It makes me mad as hell! And it should make you mad as hell too. There is change coming. What that change is, is up to us. It is up to you. We all feel the change, we see the change. We all are afraid of this new change. As we should be. The Gov is ready for you. We have let them prepare for the people. We have let them prepare for any revolution from the American People.
Fema Camps, Homeland Security, Camera's Everywhere, The Patriot Act (which by the way cancels the constitution). The Government can now look at you naked legally. The Control of any and all types of communication including the web. Taking our money Social Security, Over Taxing. Job Markets are almost nil. Banks are Thriving and communities are dying. Our Gov lies just about everyday. Even the people that think everything is ok in America see the lies and do nothing and think the Gov is gonna make everything ok. If you don't think the Federal Gov. Is waiting for us you are Wrong!!
Our Republic our precious freedoms and the country that we as citizens are sworn to protect. Have been under attack for a long time. This is our job to oust the corruption. We The People of the United States have the right to stand up to any enemy that threatens our rights our freedoms and our pursuits of happiness. We The People MEANS YOU!!.
Why do you think the constitution allows American Citizens to keep and bear arms. If you guess to protect our freedoms. You are right!! "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
How much Tyranny does a country need before they consider it a last resort. When we are all homeless, broke and in a Fema camp wondering what just happened? I believe the time to protect Our Republic is before us now.
Do you know why we haven't put our feet in the street to protect our freedoms? Because we fear our Government and that is the exact definition of tyranny. What does our Government have to do to you to get you out of your house and begin the process of pulling our crooked government out and get our country back to what We The People want it to be?
Ron Paul is a great man in my opinion and is talking about doing the right thing. Even if he is elected into office. What will he change with the same people in congress. NOTHING!!
It's funny as I write this the feeling of fear comes over me at the thought that someone somewhere in some agency is reading this and I'll get some knock on the door. I should not be feeling this, nor should anyone anywhere in our country. Not you, not me and not anyone that believes that our Gov is corrupt.
It frustrates me to no end that there are not more people in our country willing to stand up and say that's enough!!
Someone in this thread will ask me what I'm doing about it. I am telling everyone, about the things that I know. As many as I can. As much of a blow hard as Alex Jones is. He is fighting the fight, and I believe it is the intent of ATS to push it along as well. But I can't do it alone. But the People of this Country Can!!!
If you don't think they are prepared for this.
They are and we are not prepared to fight them!!! Together we stand, divided we fall. Are we divided or together?
That's my rant for today!!
