"no need to watch the video" = ignore it... or did you actually watched the video?

Thats a 25 minute video, and I dont need an AJE video to tell me about what is happening with the TP, or the conservative movement. You yourself should already know that I am quite aware, which is what gets me.

Sometimes it seems like you ignore everything anyone else says, or just dont connect the dots.

I have nothing against AJE, but am not going to immediately drop everything to watch a 25 minute piece that, according to the title and short overview, is simply going to tell me things I already know.

Alright then, you are aware of radicalization of conservative moment. Objections withdrawn. Reasons I brought this issue up a) to make sure this issue doesn't get rationalized/excused away b) I found AJE comprehensive expose on it interesting, even if all individual issues are not news to me it was still good summation.

You could have simply said it was an interesting video, instead of deciding to wear the obnoxious troll hat.

Tea Party and Ron Paul

Who said anything about Team America? My question remains unanswered. Observe:

The Germans, and all NATO countries, live under the aegis of US protection, freeing up their budgets for the sort of vast social spending that you, Sinij, appear to advocate. So why should we, as Americans, care what they think? I'm guessing you don't have children, or this analogy I'm about to describe would leap out at you without explanation. The analogy is this: do you take your minor children's opinions into account when planning a family budget? Answer, no. The reason for this is because children are not responsible for themselves; someone else must care for them. This is analogous to the situation in Europe or any of our other client states: they aren't responsible for themselves, they must have someone to look after them. Let's count the ways:

Monetarily- they have tried the Euro and it has failed, so it's back to the dollar
Economically- Who funds the IMF? Answer: Uncle Sam
Militarily- do I really need to spell it out? NATO sans USA couldn't topple Khaddafi
Diplomatically- Who funds and houses the UN? Answer: Uncle Sam

So again, please explain to me why we should care what some Eurorag thinks of American politics, and what bearing this has on the American political climate? How's the "reset" thingy going? How does the world view Democrats? Is this leap to compare my views with Ahmadinejad's simply a twist on Godwin's Law?

Are you prepared to discuss the radicalization of the progressive movement?

Well said.

Who are you protecting "the world" against? These days war is waged in finances and cyberspace, you only need bare minimum 'boots on the ground' to keep occasional backwards dictator in check. The world moved on, your views have not.



Rather well, but your ilk was too busy smearing Obamas world tour as "apologist" to notice that it actually turned around political situation in US favor.

Yes. Thankfully radicalization of Republican party and consequent exodus of moderate and centrist conservatives into Democratic fold put Democrats firmly into centrist position.
