I propose to play it every morning with my first cup of coffee. Carthago delenda est.

Enjoy.

And afterwards, I'd recommend actually doing something about it. Not saying that this is the case for you, but I always see so many people watching videos about similar things such as the video you posted, talking about it to their buddies and saying this and that, and afterwards go back to their whatever their doing without thinking twice. Watching a video to get you pumped up for anti-liberalism and then moving on without actual action is useless, and is the case with too many people today. We will gain no victories simply by listening to radio stations and videos and silently agreeing.

these motivational clips are popping up like zits on a 13 year old's forehead, but i just dont see them doing anything but making people post dupe threads on their favorite like-minded internet forums.

in order for me to get fired up over a motivational youtube clip, i'm gonna need to see a realistic pro-active plan and a call to action. not just "make sure you vote for the same gay do-nothing republican assholes you were already going to vote for."

not trying to tear you down, OP- just tired of the apathy.

While I agree action is necessary, it is hard for small government advocates to stay motivated when the current statist regime plans on staying perpetually in power by printing an endless stream of funny money for political bribes.

Money rules politics. Just look at the supposedly conservative mountain and midwest states sending leftists to congress because they promise pork and eternal farm bills. This regime is especially shameless in using the money press as a political weapon.

I fear the only way Americans will see the light is when the public debt defaults.

This. Let us not forget that our good friends the Republicans are nothing more than Socialists-Lite™.

Until we either:

1) Start putting some Constitutionalists and/or Libertarians in office
2) Start elect real-human-beings, instead of worms

We will continue to drift further and further away from anything resembling a Constitutional Republic.

The "two-party" system, in my eyes, has failed us miserably. It's like trying to order a healthy entree' at McDonald's. Sure, you've got choices, but both have established a historical precedent for heartburn and indigestion. YMMV.

Now, if one of the Republicrats or Demicons proposed the "Single Term Limit Act of 2010", and the weasel voted on it, my perspective would change, radically.

Someone "gets it".

It's a hamster wheel of endless corruption, amigo. If these hacks won't self-police, we have to do it for 'em. We continue to elect these slithering, suit-sporting, snakes, and they continually support their true constituency, while the citizenry, and what's in their best interests, are brushed aside for business-as-usual.

That's not going to happen anytime soon, because when you run for office your primary goal is to WIN. I'm currently a volunteer with a candidate who is running for the Republican Senate seat being vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX). This is the second campaign that I've been a part of and its an eye opening experience to say the least and good preparation for my political aspirations in the near future.

In a state like TX if you run as a third party candidate you simply wont win. So you are forced to pick one of two sides. Like others here I simply got tired of hearing all the talk and I decided to make things happen for myself. I went back to graduate school and finished my Masters in Criminology and now headed back to receive my JD/PhD. Then I started volunteering on local conservative campaigns and learned the ins and outs of networking and the art of campaign financing.

Outwardly it seems that running for a political office is a "throw your hat in the ring" kind of thing. In reality its a full time job with a staff and a team of volunteers just to get your name on the ballot. The thing that scared me for years from running for office is the mentality that I wasn't rich or I didn't come from a privileged family and that I wasn't educated enough. But I realized that at some point you simply have to put up or shut up and that's what I did.

I hope that more people decide to do the same.

In a state like TX if you run against an incumbent you simply won't win.

This is why American politicians are out of touch, the electorate will vote in incumbents until the end of time because the only election they pay attention to is the presidential one.

In many ways, your federal congressmen and senators and even your state congressmen and senators have a much more direct impact on your life... it'd be nice if anyone besides a handful of Americans could be bothered to actually research THOSE elections...

You can blame Obama all you want for the deficit spending, but hundreds of senators and congressmen approved it...

True, our guy (Moran - D) doesn't even bother to advertise. He just sails in each election. There has never been a serious challenge.
