Uploaded by: TheRealNews
Video Description:
How different would a Democratic Party administration be?

Anytime religion ... ( 6 months ago by commissarusa)
Anytime religion becomes political is scary. Ex. The Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the Salem Witch Trials, the huge amount of influence the Religious Right has.

Exactly, but why you feel the need to tell me that or post a sarcastic remark to a response I made to another user is beyond me.

Apparently the way to thwart 'danger to democracy' is to 'contain' any votes, ideas, sentiments to the right of those of Gore Vidal.

He overestimates ... ( 5 months ago by espunde)
He overestimates the religious right, they are merely pawns in a bigger game. And disenfranchising whole groups is not anti-democratic and fascist in the least, oh the irony. I as a Calvinist do not believe in tax exempt and incorporated churches, but then again I do not agree with most taxation in general, I fail to see why religious groups should be targeted for taxation, they are voluntary organisations. As much as I cannot stand faux-evangelical groups, they'll fall well enough on their own.
It is intensely ... ( 5 months ago by sfmike20)
It is intensely bothersome to me that the neo cons have hijacked the founding fathers for their own cause. Anyone who has read Jefferson, Paine, or Madison would realize how much they would hate the modern right,.
@sfmike20 ...and ... ( 4 months ago by efrem1)
@sfmike20 ...and how they would hate the modern left with their tendency for massive government. Jefferson and Madison were big advocates of nullification and believed in the smallness of government. This country is broke and it is time to bring the troops home. Oh but I guess we are in Bush's third term.
@efrem1, of course ... ( 4 months ago by sfmike20)
@efrem1, of course they would hate the modern left, and I said nothing that would indicate my thinking anything else. My problem in this area is with the modern right who claim to be following the founding fathers. People need to understand that the founding fathers were on the anti-authoritarian left, and right. None of them would agree with the modern political climate. My irritation in this area remains with the right.
Btw, as Chomsky fan I have nothing in common with the modern left.

ha. vidal. he's is delusional and a joy to watch. it's always interesting when folks have brainwashed themselves into believing their own myopic view. he literally *must* say what he says. he is not the only one, they come from both sides of the aisle. these narcissists get to a point where they are incapable of intellectual thought. so ingrained in their own defence objectivity becomes an afterthought and liability.
Personally I think ... ( 3 months ago by specialears)
Personally I think any affiliation that any party has with religion simply will cause trouble. Religion is extremely divisive, and generally causes some sect of religion to hate another. Now it can possibly be used as an instrument to conquer and divide which is an age old political tactic, but I would urge any party, not to suck up to these people, because their thoughts are dangerous. We only need to see where it has gotten us right now, nothing but death and destruction, proof of what I say.
@obhobo I have to ... ( 3 months ago by specialears)
@obhobo I have to agree with you so far. I only started getting interested in him about a month ago, but I have so far not seen him actually state one proposal to fix anything. He talks of the founding fathers, and of philosophers of past, but he never proposes something that should be done. His criticism sounds good, but are very open ended. As for Republicans freeing the slaves, and then he talks of this movement by their descendants to the Democrats, this has never made any sense to me.

The power to tax is ... ( 1 month ago by efrem1)
The power to tax is the power to destroy. For all of the talk of freedom, Vidal prevaricates his opinion hinting at using the power of the IRS to silence dissent. The IRS should be abolished along with the Federal Reserve. Ron Paul/Gary Johnson 2012.
It doesn't threaten ... ( 1 month ago by FreewheelinPhrank)
It doesn't threaten 'freedom of religion' in anyway to tax their income. It is income. A roadblock to change is the political power to deliver & sway votes for or against those who can change the laws. Until recent times the real power of Catholic confession was the info reported up the food chain to the Vatican a sort of domestic wiretapping straight into the deepest secrets of those gullible enough to divulge. Education of religon's origins & countless financial & human atrocities is the key.
The bible itself ... ( 1 month ago by Strefanash)
The bible itself forbids the kind of activities that the Religious Right are given to, therefore the Bible itself can be said to forbid the Religous RIght from taking over any country. Though an evangelical myself I oppose the Religious Right utterly and have no problem with churches being taxed.
and yes, there is a fracture between christians and hard right Religious obscenity, and I am on what i trust oto be the correct side of that

@MasterMark123 Gandhi was one of the closet we have seen to "christ-like", along with Martin Luther King Jr.,and maybe a few others. The American Christians would probably kill him again, if he was to come back! The Christians that I know pick and choose what is conveinant for them to adapt into their lives, and they discard or go against the bulk of his teachings, from what I can tell. A great deal of them are fairly low-brow, simple minded, and have relatively low comprehensional skills.

The US is a mess religiously because it has no national church. European states tend to have a national church (whether official or de facto, Catholic or Protestant) which is supported financially by the state, and therefore is held to some degree of account, tending to be moderate in its outlook. Catholics in southern Europe, Anglican in Britain, Lutheran in northern Europe.
The US has no national religion and encourages the competition of churches as if they were businesses....
