Okay, so straight off the bat this guy says that kings always proposed to tax the rich. Umm, no. They avoided taxing the aristocracy whenever possible.

Then, he goes on how capitalism is responsible for everything we enjoy in the modern world (not entirely true... labor rights, anyone?) I won't even get into the slavery bit.

Oh, and he all but states religion in the government is his idea of freedom. NO, that's why we have the First Amendment.

I can't be the only one who wants to slap this guy upside the head and point out that conservatives have consistently been the ones working against minority rights of all kinds, while liberals have supported those same rights.

Edit: Additionally, Republicans never "conceded" the black vote. They deliberately rejected it as part of their Southern Strategy.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

It's stupid to talk about the system of revenue collection in the Feudal era as a tax. It wasn't.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

"The party must go wholly one way or wholly the other. It cannot face in both directions at the same time."
