… what if Judge Napolitano’s farewell speech on Fox News went on like this for over four minutes?
What if the speaker was able to present his points in a way that didn’t make him sound like he was droning on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and banana.
Oooooooo… fascinating! I don’t agree with all of his insinuations…
but what if most of them were spot on?
He had me till he said Ron Paul.
Agreed. I have so many issues with that man.
He was doing fairly well until he started pushing the idea that Ron Paul was any different from the rest of the candidates.
Differences between parties blown out of proportion? Check.
Candidates often drop campaign promises? Check.
Reagan wasn’t the messiah? Check.
Ron Paul is sane? Uh….
Exactly!
However, I’m pretty excited (and very surprised) Fox News (aka “the evil”) endorses the opinion that bipartisan politics is not democracy, and therefore calls for proportionnal representation (and of course, limitation of campaign spendings, to oust the establishment)
Keep in mind this is his farewell speech, if he made it any other time it may as well have been his farewell speech. ;3
Well, technically speaking, this is an attitude that would hurt Democrats just as much as Republicans, if not more so. When it comes to weaseling off the books donations and unstated corporate benefits, the Dems are amateurs, roughly along the lines of comparing some kid with a corner lemonade stand to a multinational beverage conglomerate. I imagine someone realized that they could support the “moral” choice while ultimately not harming their personal benefits at all.
The Dems are catching up, though, and some standouts have approached Rep levels of weasel economics… or surpassed them. It’s only a matter of time before the enthusiastic latecomers pull even with the experienced and established.
Who cares if it hurts democrats? It would bring actual left wing and socially libertarian parties in the game (like, say, the greens), and by then I will have a hard time caring about democrats anymore.
Killing big money politics would indeed bring currently fringe groups into play, yes… rather like the European political system, which does have some benefits. I have to question, however, how quickly the largely unsophisticated American public will adjust to more than two political parties.
Don’t overestimate Europeans.
And if you want to be further reassured, look at New Zealand. This (oh so) unsophisticated nation has shifted smoothly from bipartisan to multipartisan in a snap. Minorities and natives are super glad.
I don’t overestimate anyone. Quite the opposite… I’ve learned (the hard way) that the ingenuity of total idiots is not to be discounted, ever. I imagine even Americans can find a way to screw up an established system with many real-world examples…
Indeed, no system is foolproof given a sufficiently talented fool.
How can you all be so dumb?
*sigh*
Ron Paul, huh? How free would we be if Ron Paul got his way, and let the rich and powerful do whatever they wanted, and just trample the people all they wanted? Because, that is exactly what would happen if the Ron Paul fantasy world were allowed to come into existence.
Free to be slaves of the wealthy. Sounds like freedom to me.
Because the current system where the government constantly awards an endless cycle contracts, kickbacks, and bailouts to their corporate sponsors all at taxpayer expense has done wonders to help the masses. Not to mention the endless cycle of inflation driven by the Federal Reserve. Who does inflation hurt the most? All together now. “The poor!”
Granted that’s because of Lessiez Faire economics, which Ron Paul champions.
For people that hate Fox News, you guys sure watch it a lot. If you get your news from TV to begin with, you are truly stupid.
As opposed to the internet where everything ever posted is true? Newspapers then? I mean they couldn’t possibly be biased as well. Hmm…that seems to leave word of mouth. What do you mean eye witness testimony is inaccurate? Dang. Now all I’m left with is my psychic or the voices in my head.
To be fair, TV News is the most profitable, and, therefor, the most subject to corruption and pandering. ;3
I think he meant the printed news. Those were journalists check their sources and catchaphrases are not the only content.
But psychics work too. Either way.
I exclusively get my news from Miss Cleo
Please, journalists in printed news check their sources? Ever hear of yellow journalism.
It’s sad that THIS is the sanest guy who works for Fox News.
What if somebody merged this with Conspiracy Keanu?
The best questions is “What I he wasn’t completely right?”
