Interesting that …
Interesting that Senator obama voted for EVERY spending increase proposed or implemented by the Bush administration and sent two letters to the W.H. criticizing the President for not spending enough (obama interview with Chicago Tribune) yet he continues his hypocritical blaming. Blaming G. Bush is only a distraction from all the LOSSES and FALIURES of OBAMA and his administraion, to date!
@diapasonify you …
@diapasonify you actually believe in such a thing as “equality”? What equality are you suggesting destroys that also?
I think people are …
I think people are starting to see that speaking with eloquence and style mean nothing when what your saying is crap.
Sometimes, you fund …
Sometimes, you fund a study… to help you make an informed decision. If a corporation funded a study and the results came back unfavorably, the corp. may end the funding. However, the facts are still relevant. Further more, another entity may pick up the funding to support their cause.
To a large extent, I agree with you “Corporations” control alot. However, there is only one reason for this… because our Fed Gov. is full of congressman looking to hand out favors to the biggest players!
finnaly.proffessors …
finnaly.proffessors decide to stand up to communism.this is the America i like to see.

Jeremiah 50 and 51 read carefully
Yes climate change …
Yes climate change is real, it changes every day it used to be called the weather and it will happen again tomorrow. My environment would change for the better if my tax dollars weren’t spent on needless weather studies that folks like you insist upon to curb your environmental end times god. Face it the studies were crap the gig is up it’s time to turn on the lights and all the kids to go home, games over.
Climate change is …
Climate change is real, and to an extent so is global warming. Man does have a direct effect on the planet but please remember to factor out the natural effects of our ever changing solor system.
The main issue here is the overuse of “green” leverage by political entities as a tactic more so than true intentions to preserve our environment. Most of the hype consolidates special intrests rather than spur true inovation in an advanced ecosystem.
This video is …
This video is excellent! All the points are right on!
@diapasonify, Not …
@diapasonify, Not the entire media industry. He doesn’t own Youtube.:)
Do you understand …
Do you understand the idea of “funding”? Would you fund a murderer? Funding is supporting and embracing ideas that you agree with. It’s pretty clear that Rupert Murdoch, known for his ruthless monopolization of media, supports the so-called “free markets”, rather than equality.
Corporations control everything. That’s the problem. There’s only one economic philosophy that destroys that.
I have no problem …
I have no problem with folks from another religion, origion or race – why should I? You are not to choose who you parents got to be nor where you born nor how you been raised.
Guess that is a new concept to you alltogether.
So what? …
So what? Corporations fund almost everything. Who do you think funds Obama?
And Murdoch’s company, News Corporation, is but one of myriad large media conglomerates such as Walt Disney Co., Viacom, Time-Warner, General Electric, etc. You’re entitled to your opinion, but get your facts straight and don’t abuse hyperbole.
Great points made …
Great points made in the video.
Cato Institute – …
Cato Institute – Funded for and by corporations.
Why was Rupert Murdoch a director at Cato Institute? The same Murdoch who consolidated the entire media industry.
They weren’t …
They weren’t intellectuals, i.e. they didn’t sit behind a desk pontificating and telling themselves they are intelligent. I said they should stay away from foreign policy. That woman is ignorant. You guys love sitting on your couch talking about things half the world away, never having been there yourself.
How long have you …
How long have you hated blacks?
C’mon. You’re just …
C’mon. You’re just off that they don’t unionize.
Do you see Pelosi …
Do you see Pelosi in the background? I know Morse code. Pelosi is blinking T-O-R-T-U-R-E.
Either She is still traumatized from being held by the north Vietnamese, or she doesn’t like listening to Obama.
I think Obama means: “families around the country are tightening their belts, and the US government should do the same, we will also tighten your belts”.
Public money and government stimulus is like giving people heroin to make them feel better. Big Government is like a drug pusher.
CORPORATE WHORE.
CORPORATE WHORE.
You’re a corporate …
You’re a corporate whore.
How about you check …
How about you check your own vagina.

CATO INSTITUE – FUNDED FOR AND BY Corporations.
It’s Bush’s fault!
It’s Bush’s fault!
you mixing up the …
you mixing up the fashistic system of corpertism, which we have to day, with capitalism. We don’t value capital as we inflated it due flexiable currencies, therefor we can not be in a capitalistic system.
