Politics: What do you think of this video?

This is the video.I want to know what your response to this is, particularly liberals. To me this isn'treally shocking. I would say nauseating is a better word.

Reagan was such a better President than Obama. And that's a fact. MaxPred2010

Meh, came off as another hollow political ad to me.

Splicing speeches from different politicians, taking favor of one side, and saying something without saying anything. I swear I might actually see this on TV during the 2012 Presidential election. :?

Well that video's general message seems to be against socialism and communism, so I'm not sure what that has to do with democrats and liberals.

The video is essentially.. pro-freedom, pro-free market. Most of the other clips are out of place are just attempts to make the quoted appear to be against those, which is not the case.

Man, what happened to American exceptional-ism? America has shown arrogance? No. It's called confidence. Man, I miss people like Lincoln and Reagan.

[QUOTE="Darkainious"] Errm what? Most of the people who is quoted were Liberal/Democrats. Are you suggesting that Democrats are leading us toward communism? Oh wait...Darkainious

Would you like me to explain???

You had one guy in the clip that they took out of context who says that "constitution isnt an issue" with his bill or whatever, but that most logically meant that the constitution didnt conflict with his bill, rather than what the video wanted you to think that he was disregarding the constitution.

Then you had another clip about a dem saying that he was happy about something (he didnt say in the clip) but yet the vid had clips surrounding it skewing what his opinion probably was.

Reagan was a horrible, HORRIBLE president. :|dreDREb13

Reagan's quotes are in support of the free market and freedom in general. That seems to be the overall message. Freedom and free market are good. Then, the video attempts to show that the opposition is against that message of pro-freedom and pro-free market with out of context quotes. Since liberals are pro market and pro freedom, and socialists make up only a tiny minority of the Democratic party, I'm not really sure how this is much of a argument against liberals or Democrats.

Funding oppressive military regimes in El Salvador and Honduras in the early 80s seemed a little nasty.

Erm, what? Nukes had absolutely nothing to do with that area.

You must be thinking about Cuba.

But people start DYING when they dont have any money to depend on at all. So your logic is flawed whether you made what you said up or not.

[QUOTE="herpderp9000"][QUOTE="gaming25"] Opening capitalism which spiraled money out of control, making the hugest gap between the rich and the poor, all the while being unsupportive of social aid programs. I think those are not only "horrible" things, but downright horrendous things.gaming25

"He was a leader of a nation, not a humanitarian.".

You have got to be kidding me. When you sign up for a job that is over the welfare of HUMAN beings, than you need to be a HUMANITARIAN in order to be a competent official.

Not really, just trying to spread capitalist ideals at all costs under the guise of good-old Cold War paranoia.

The USSR already had Cuba (which is way closer to the US from a strategic standpoint) so anything south of that had no real tactical advantage.

I doubt you'll find many congressmen period who think that a completely unregulated free market is a good idea...

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="Darkainious"] Just where are you getting your information? Do you think any of the democrats in congress think the free market system is just great? You are thinking of democrats 50 years ago.Darkainious

I would say that most democrats support a (regulated) free market system, with some exceptions of course.

All those things are the direct result of them trying, and failing to outspend us.herpderp9000

The failed Coup of 1991 was definitely not "directly" caused by the failure to outspend the USA. It was "directly" caused by the conservatism (not as you know it, as a general term) of the Soviet government and bureaucracy and Gorbachev threatening the status-quo with promises of reform including liberalization of the social and economic sphere of life.

Also, if I do take this latest statement as true, why does this imply that Reagan and his administration are the only ones responsible for making them trying to outspend the US? (an implication I draw from your earlier statement)

Ronald Reagan was the last good president we had

Just about everyone embraces the free market. Most democrats just think a few regulations and other programs are needed to prop the system up. Otherwise, they'd be a socialist, and fun fact, socialists don't make it far in politics in the United States at'all, regardless of party.
