The Obama administration will never protect our rights, but will attempt to control every aspect of our lives.
Vote each and every one of the disgusting cretins out of office whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Pretty good comments. I would, however, offer that our military is very much for not only imperialism, globalism and most indisiously….Zionism. If our military was being used to protect us, they would have very little to do other than protect the border…..one of the few things they are NOT doing. That alone should open your eyes.
Wow, first a racist then an anti-semite within just the last 8 minutes. Good job, Zo!
You know you're doing something right when detestable little trolls like deptfagcontrol and TonyTwoShoes
can't wait to write something snarky and stupid in response to your eloquent summation of
conservatism.
Sorry, Zo, but I disagree with you on this one. Republicans AND Democrats do not stand for what they say. That is why people are angry at both parties. The Republicans have become like 70s Democrats and the Democrats have become like 70s Soviets.
I have always been an independent because all parties are is a tool by which certain agendas are delivered to voting groups. The lack of real leadership worth a damn in both parties has been long gone.
So don't be calling us independents lazy. We're the ones with our eyes open.

Rinos are not considered conservative these days. Rinos and democraps are for big government and keeping that gravy rolling.
You're disgusting. You can't stand to see a black man who's escaped the liberal plantation, can you?
Guess what. Libtard. There will come a day when great numbers of black people will rise up against you and your kind, and resoundingly reject your brand of slavery and your "soft bigotry of low expectations."
Just say it out loud, you mental midget. Just admit you're a big-time hot-dog buddy-buddy Jew hater, a la Mel Gibson, a la funny German guy with a funny mustache.
Good thoughts, well said, Zo! Thanks for another great video.

"Pretty good comments. I would, however, offer that our military is very much for not only imperialism, globalism and most indisiously….Zionism"
They why have we not conquered Canada and Mexico? Do the Elders of Zion have no interest in looting these nations?
While you are pondering that, tell me why the Elders have not inveigled the US into conquering Venezuela, or, for that matter Cuba? If we were in imperialist nation, armed with nukes, and having a larger military budget than all the rest of the world combined, if we WANTED to conquer them, what holds us back?
TonyTwoShoes - November 17th, 2009 at 4:08 am
"They why have we not conquered Canada and Mexico?"
Pointing to nations we haven't invaded is no counter to the clear cases of countries we have invaded for no legitimate reason. All three nations are coming under the control of the same entity – no invasion is necessary.
Ask yourself why US troops are being stationed in Columbia.
"if we WANTED to conquer them, what holds us back? "
Ask that other major superpower that crumbled, the Soviet Union. Now, what was that country mired in shortly before their collapse…started with an "A."
Professor Turgeson - November 17th, 2009 at 4:59 am
Democrats like to "feel good" about what they stand for.
Republicans stand for what they know what will make them feel good.
PS: I'm an independent and we aren't lazy or superior, but I've been voting Republican for so long that I've been seriously thinking about joining the GOP. They just have the right stuff, that's all and that's enough.

Awesome video!
I especially appreciate the mention of a national sales tax replacing the income tax. I think that needs to be a major pillar in a reform agenda. End the assumption that the federal government has ANY right to even know what our personal incomes are, much less tax them. And end the evergrowing tax and spend spree (to buy favor and manipulate constituents) funded right out of the wallets of the middle class and everyone else who works and pays income tax. Everyone should pay a "national" tax. All in the same boat, all the same rate. No taking from one to give to another. And EVERYONE, every voter should have a shared interest in keeping the RATE in check, in keeping government limited to constitutionally mandated obligations.
Conservatives, Libertarians, Independants, whatever everyone is calling themselves- we need to either TAKE OVER the Republican Party or REPLACE it. Take out Tea Partiers and rhino- weary conservatives and the "Republican" party would not have much left… IT would be the 3rd party…
How much do you want to bet this is a white person, who believes that black people should all think the way he wants them to. You see, to a Liberal, black people are stupid and childish, needing to be controlled for their own good. White Liberals better know how to "be black" than black people do.
Their bigotry and ignorance is the majority of their charm. {sigh}
I agree with Republicans more than I disagree with them, but have no interest in calling myself a Republican. It doesn't make me lazy to have principles that differ from the groupthink.
Lots of power is generated by pushing water up a hill….
Anyway, just a quick PS here. I got wondering why the phrase "right stuff" came to me when thinking about the GOP and realized it was because I'd seen a clip the other day of Yeager's flight of the NF-104 from "The Right Stuff." That's not entirely dissimilar from what it's been like to support the Republicans since, oh, the 1990s or so.
Sigh.
However, with the GOP after a big crash, there's always a Man walking out of the wreckage (who may be either male, as in the movie, or female). Or, one could say, an American.
Zo, Can you please take this party away from the RINO pack and bring it back to a real conservative party? I am sick of the Grahm-nesty's, the "colon" powells, and the mc -lames. Zo for GOP Leader !! I'm back in if you do. Every time they send me the donation form – I staple it and write in sharpie
No $$$ until you grow a pair & stop trashing Sarah !
Ranba Ral - November 17th, 2009 at 10:50 am
"We're the ones with our eyes open."
Because a person whose affiliated with a party can only vote lock-step with that party and its representatives, right?
James, I think part of the problem; and I hear it frequently when interacting with independents; is you're talking about the Republican Party reps, whereas I believe Zo was talking about himself as the everyman.
I'm registered R and I'm ticked at the party reps for not representing. My party affiliation was just chosen because they most closely represented my beliefs without being to nebulous about where they stand (that's my beef with the Libertarians). Does this mean I vote straight Rs at every election? Heck no! I actually look into voting records, their current positions on things, etc. and see if they all jive. If they're saying they support one thing and have never even mentioned it in their official capacities, then obviously there's something wrong there; regardless of party or lack thereof.
Zo I really enjoy your videos. Each one has so much coming so fast it's hard to keep up, and that makes it entertaining. Keep your inspiration going — it's so refreshing to see a guy unafraid to speak from the heart on Youtube. I wish I had that liberty or the talent to say the same things. I wish you fame and fortune. Thanks Mr. Breitbart for featuring him here.
You think this affects anyone? You're a joke, go back to the 1960's. What you're saying is blacks should all vote for democrats. So in other words blacks shouldn't have the right to vote. Just tally all their votes for Democrats. It's sad considering it's Republicans set the slaves free, that you would have things so confused. Your ignorance and racism is apalling. Your feeble, malnourished brain is filled with rotten garbage from hippies and race baiters. You have nothing intelligent to say, and you don't even realize that calling someone an "uncle tom" is itself roundly condemned by society. I wish I could tell this to your face you miserable self hating racist.
Sorry Zo but I'm not an independent because I'm lazy. I'm an independent because I was a Republican until I got tired of the John McCains and the Dede Scozzafavas and the other RINOs who have been turning the party into the Democrat Lite Party. I believe in conservative principles but while the Republicans may talk the talk, they no longer walk the walk. Let me know when the Republicans stop trying to pander to moderates and return to conservative principles and maybe I'll return to the party.
What is it with Zo and the haters coming out of the woodwork? Take this Tony character. It's sad there's people like him out there who agree with the powerful, compelling truth contained in conservatism yet at the same time get sucked into this anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. I'm not even going to bother trying to change your mind Tony, that would be like trying to teach a frog to sing. Hey frog, go take a swim. The conservative movement deplores people like you, and we don't want anything to do with you. Goodbye loser.
You know.. the criticism of these parties is well deserved. No one can point to the democrats and say they promote democracy — they really promote totalitarianism these days in the form of socialism. And as for Republicans, they have lost sight of the Republic and are selling our rights just for a few democratic votes just as fast as the Dems are going full tilt socialist.
But there are high ranking Republicans out there making a stand. And the party was indeed founded on exactly what Zo is talking about. And it is full of people who believe in those ideals. A lot of independents are lazy and find it easier to criticize both parties. Zo is right, although by the nature of what he is trying to express he is forced to generalize but so what. The bottom line is we will continue to fight the RINO elements of the party, but if we need to express what Republicans stand for, we should talk about what we truly SHOULD be, and play ourselves up, and act like we are who we say we are. The grass roots needs that. Zo is the man in my opinion for taking that route. And independents just point fingers at both parties. So there.
By the way I'll just name those high ranking Republicans that are fighting for the Republic and deserve our support: Former Governor Sarah Palin, Rep John Boehner, Rep. Michelle Bachman. They represent the version of Republicanism Zo expressed in the movie. Let's get behind em and yeah if any RINO's want to ride the wave of Republican support we're just going to have to show em the door. I hope the momentum is there for once, in this party, in this nation, to wake up and return to conservative values. Doug Hoffman's congressional bid says it's definitely possible if not highly likely that real conservatives will sweep in 2010. And they will be Republicans.
Thanks Alphonzo for being in the middle with us, it makes that hill we look down more noticable, not a place that libs say is inbetween being hit by rocks from both sides, and just proves they can only hit us with words.
As Alveda King (niece of the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King, Jr) said, "Uncle Tom was a black man who aided the Abolitionists during the time of slavery. I take it as a compliment."
For those who skipped history: Abolitionists–those who worked to end the practice of slavery in the United States.
Trust liberals to insult a black man by saying "He stands up for his rights! He thinks he's a person!"
John Correll - November 17th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
I was going to hit the "Report" button and flag this as inappropriate, but I think we should leave this up as an example of how a Liberal tries to sabotage a site. I do not think you are who you pretend to be. If you were, you wouldn't have even visited here. You also knew enough to put spaces between your racial vulgarity so it would not be automatically flagged before it was even posted.
Be off with you troll! Go to HuffPo or Kos and stop interrupting the grown ups civil conversation.
I think I could get behind national health if the only thing it included was a "Bigger Boob" provision. But that's just the compassionate conservative in me coming out.
The term used at the time was factionalism, the breaking down of goals based on regions. And yes, he was very much against it. So was Adam.
And Jefferson and Madison, until they figured out how to benefit from it. America was free from it for the eight years of Washington's two terms. And then all hell broke lose between Adams and Jefferson. Adams raised above it, but by the time Jefferson was elected, all that was long gone.
But just as there are RINOS and Conservatives who are registered (R), there are lazy independents and active, informed independents. It wouldn't be fair to characterize all independents as lazy, but they do make up a visible portion of the group.
Not to mention the members of the MSM who say they are "independent" to give their arguments some gravitas but might as well vote Dem only, or go as far left as possible (Bernie Sanders-Vermont).
With most liberals, there is no point in having a discussion. Even after you poke holes in their argument, they thn resort to name-calling and tin-foil hat comments that just infuriate me. Don't fight my reason with your feelings, it makes you look weak…
drew - November 17th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
I'm a Republican because I believe in a strong military, and well, Dems don't serve. They feel they are superior intellectually and socially. I'm Republican because I believe in personal responsibility, not government nanny states. I believe if you or your kids are hungry, you provide for them no matter what, not blame your employer for not enough money or the gov't for not enough food stamps. I believe in the family, a man and a woman, raising kids together. I'm Republican because I beleive in a small gov't without excessive control over my life. We've been birthing kids for generations now, so don't try to tell me that you know what's better for my children than I do. Most of all, I'm a Republican becaue I believe strongly in what the R's represent, and I know that there are winners and losers and losing is OK sometimes. It makes you work harder to get that prize, not work less to accept that "we're all winners."
I agree with the whole video up until the "womb to the tomb part". That seems like government regulation to me. If life is valuable, he's saying the government can step in and make abortion illegal. That's a valid opinion to have. But to me, saying that "life is valuable", and saying the government can legislate to make that so, also means that the libs can step in and start regulating what we eat or otherwise consume.
For example, smoking. Liberals love to put restrictions on that. And if Obamacare goes through, we will be TOLD what we are allowed to eat and drink, because our unhealthy lifestyles might put a strain on the resources of the taxpayer. They will say "life is too valuable to be eating potato chips." Hell there's a story on BG today that says the FDA is going to make beer/energy drink hybrids (whatever those are) illegal if they aren't "safe" enough.
I understand that people are against abortion. I just don't agree that government intervention into someone's body is ever a good idea, because you never know when the thing you fought for, might work against you someday.
"What Conservatives Are For", in my opinion, is absolute minimum of government intrusion into our personal lives, and our bodies.
Don't do it! Join a respectable organization, like ACORN. The republican party is a disgrace, a shodow of the proud Americans of the past. Today, it's political "who ors" like Snow and Spectre and many others, who care more about themselves then the country.
Join the Conservative party. No republican has every won without the conservatives. Kick the rinos to the curb, it's now or never!

That's fine except Republican voters gave us decades of Arlen Specter and people like Olympia Snowe. People like John McCain and Bob Dole as presidential candidates. Governors like Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of Tom McClintock. The voters have not voted in real conservatives, nor have they held RINOs feet to the fire,. I'm glad they're starting to, but talk is cheap.
All parties know they need independents to win. They take the faithful for granted pretty much. That is the problem with being too allied with a party. These guys need to learn the hard way who put them there and who can send them home.
See my reply above. It's not enough to say what you stand for. They don't care. They go ahead and do what they want anyway. Yes, there are some politicians who are principled and stand for what they say,. But too many in both parties have taken us to this point. It is simple realism to be aware of that fact. Being an independent is a way of saying to them: "You need us to win. You better not take us for granted."
Too often the pols take their party people for granted. They tell them what they want to hear, then do something else. That simply can't be allowed anymore.
Zo and yourself may be principled, but so am I. I am not going to make them feel they automatically have my vote because I registered with their party, They are going to have to work for it.
Government has been intruding into our personal lives and our bodies for centuries. If it's your body do you have the right to kill other people with it? the right to steal things with it? The right to sell the children your body produces into slavery? Do you have the right to sell (well… rent out) your body on the street? of course not.
Just because it's your body do you have the right to murder a child inside of it? Before you retaliate with the obligatory "It's my body…" screed may I remind you and everyone reading that less than 2% of all abortions have anything at all to do with rape, incest, or the life of the mother. >98.5%of all abortions are murder in the name of birth control.
I've actually had people tell me that they didn't have a choice "Then charge them with rape" was my answer. Their retort was "Not THAT, you know… sometimes you just gotta… ya know?" and of course my answer is "Why is someone who can't control themselves in be bedroom expected to be smart enough to walk into a voting booth with a clue?"
I usually get hit at that point, but hey, you know? Sometimes you just gotta call it like you see it.
"Just because it's your body do you have the right to murder a child inside of it? "
Yes. Not a pretty scenario, but I think women do.
"Before you retaliate with the obligatory "It's my body…" screed may I remind you and everyone reading that less than 2% of all abortions have anything at all to do with rape, incest, or the life of the mother. >98.5%of all abortions are murder in the name of birth control."
It's over-used. But that doesn't make it any less of a right.
So if murdering a baby inside the womb is ok, than shooting the parents is ok too… I mean, what's the difference except for the fact that the baby harmed no one and it's just dandy to suck it's brains out, collapse its skull and flush it's still beating heart down the toilet, the parents on the other hand planned murder in the name of a "right" that doesn't exist.

Pretty good comments. I would, however, offer that our military is very much for not only imperialism, globalism and most indisiously….Zionism. If our military was being used to protect us, they would have very little to do other than protect the border…..one of the few things they are NOT doing. That alone should open your eyes.

And Jefferson and Madison, until they figured out how to benefit from it. America was free from it for the eight years of Washington's two terms. And then all hell broke lose between Adams and Jefferson. Adams raised above it, but by the time Jefferson was elected, all that was long gone.
But just as there are RINOS and Conservatives who are registered (R), there are lazy independents and active, informed independents. It wouldn't be fair to characterize all independents as lazy, but they do make up a visible portion of the group.
Not to mention the members of the MSM who say they are "independent" to give their arguments some gravitas but might as well vote Dem only, or go as far left as possible (Bernie Sanders-Vermont).
With most liberals, there is no point in having a discussion. Even after you poke holes in their argument, they thn resort to name-calling and tin-foil hat comments that just infuriate me. Don't fight my reason with your feelings, it makes you look weak…
I'm a Republican because I believe in a strong military, and well, Dems don't serve. They feel they are superior intellectually and socially. I'm Republican because I believe in personal responsibility, not government nanny states. I believe if you or your kids are hungry, you provide for them no matter what, not blame your employer for not enough money or the gov't for not enough food stamps. I believe in the family, a man and a woman, raising kids together. I'm Republican because I beleive in a small gov't without excessive control over my life. We've been birthing kids for generations now, so don't try to tell me that you know what's better for my children than I do. Most of all, I'm a Republican becaue I believe strongly in what the R's represent, and I know that there are winners and losers and losing is OK sometimes. It makes you work harder to get that prize, not work less to accept that "we're all winners."
That's true, except that water runs off and disappears underground. Liberals are never anywhere but in your face.
I agree with the whole video up until the "womb to the tomb part". That seems like government regulation to me. If life is valuable, he's saying the government can step in and make abortion illegal. That's a valid opinion to have. But to me, saying that "life is valuable", and saying the government can legislate to make that so, also means that the libs can step in and start regulating what we eat or otherwise consume.
For example, smoking. Liberals love to put restrictions on that. And if Obamacare goes through, we will be TOLD what we are allowed to eat and drink, because our unhealthy lifestyles might put a strain on the resources of the taxpayer. They will say "life is too valuable to be eating potato chips." Hell there's a story on BG today that says the FDA is going to make beer/energy drink hybrids (whatever those are) illegal if they aren't "safe" enough.
I understand that people are against abortion. I just don't agree that government intervention into someone's body is ever a good idea, because you never know when the thing you fought for, might work against you someday.
"What Conservatives Are For", in my opinion, is absolute minimum of government intrusion into our personal lives, and our bodies.
HA! Great Video!!! Good points
Don't do it! Join a respectable organization, like ACORN. The republican party is a disgrace, a shodow of the proud Americans of the past. Today, it's political "who ors" like Snow and Spectre and many others, who care more about themselves then the country.
Join the Conservative party. No republican has every won without the conservatives. Kick the rinos to the curb, it's now or never!

That's fine except Republican voters gave us decades of Arlen Specter and people like Olympia Snowe. People like John McCain and Bob Dole as presidential candidates. Governors like Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of Tom McClintock. The voters have not voted in real conservatives, nor have they held RINOs feet to the fire,. I'm glad they're starting to, but talk is cheap.
All parties know they need independents to win. They take the faithful for granted pretty much. That is the problem with being too allied with a party. These guys need to learn the hard way who put them there and who can send them home.
See my reply above. It's not enough to say what you stand for. They don't care. They go ahead and do what they want anyway. Yes, there are some politicians who are principled and stand for what they say,. But too many in both parties have taken us to this point. It is simple realism to be aware of that fact. Being an independent is a way of saying to them: "You need us to win. You better not take us for granted."
Too often the pols take their party people for granted. They tell them what they want to hear, then do something else. That simply can't be allowed anymore.
Zo and yourself may be principled, but so am I. I am not going to make them feel they automatically have my vote because I registered with their party, They are going to have to work for it.
Government has been intruding into our personal lives and our bodies for centuries. If it's your body do you have the right to kill other people with it? the right to steal things with it? The right to sell the children your body produces into slavery? Do you have the right to sell (well… rent out) your body on the street? of course not.
Just because it's your body do you have the right to murder a child inside of it? Before you retaliate with the obligatory "It's my body…" screed may I remind you and everyone reading that less than 2% of all abortions have anything at all to do with rape, incest, or the life of the mother. >98.5%of all abortions are murder in the name of birth control.
I've actually had people tell me that they didn't have a choice "Then charge them with rape" was my answer. Their retort was "Not THAT, you know… sometimes you just gotta… ya know?" and of course my answer is "Why is someone who can't control themselves in be bedroom expected to be smart enough to walk into a voting booth with a clue?"
I usually get hit at that point, but hey, you know? Sometimes you just gotta call it like you see it.
"Just because it's your body do you have the right to murder a child inside of it? "
Yes. Not a pretty scenario, but I think women do.
"Before you retaliate with the obligatory "It's my body…" screed may I remind you and everyone reading that less than 2% of all abortions have anything at all to do with rape, incest, or the life of the mother. >98.5%of all abortions are murder in the name of birth control."
It's over-used. But that doesn't make it any less of a right.
So if murdering a baby inside the womb is ok, than shooting the parents is ok too… I mean, what's the difference except for the fact that the baby harmed no one and it's just dandy to suck it's brains out, collapse its skull and flush it's still beating heart down the toilet, the parents on the other hand planned murder in the name of a "right" that doesn't exist.
I SO wish I could see this comment. It sounds juicy…
It wasn't that bad. DFC just called Zo an "Uncle Tom." Worse than that has been said.
