Sarah Silverman | Let My People Vote 2012 - Get Nana A Gun 

spacelevator2020 I am not a us citisen, so my personal situation is irrelevant to the video. It was just an opinion that old people wouldn't be more likely to vote for Obama. The gassing part comes from your own fucked up mind.

Old people know better not to vote for a fucking socialist fuckwad.

Older people are a mixed bag, just like any demographic. Those in inner cities tend to be more liberal, just like the younger demographic in the same environment. And every demographic has it's ignorant fucktards, just like these assholes here.

Getting a state issued identification card requires money. That constitutes a poll tax, which is illegal. It was used to disenfranchise certain persons after the Civil War. If free voter identifications would be provided, I'd support this measure.

she's a comedian idiot

hey everyone, look it's the republican!

hey everyone look it's Captain Obvious

As a comedian I can tell you that you know jack shit about how much research we put into a subject when we are writing.

I don't listen to actors and/or comedians in general. I listen specifically to Sarah because of her creativity, humor, and truth. Coincidentally, the US Constitution and politics are a couple of my areas of expertise. Not like I lectured on Constitutional Law at University of Chicago like Barack Obama, but I studied it and aced the course and I can sing the preamble song from Schoolhouse Rock, which is more than what a lot of fucktards have to offer when they invoke the Constitution. I mean fucktards in general, not you specifically, my good man.

everyone including comedians and actors have the right to say what they want about anything, except Alec Baldwin, shut the fuck up already AB.

MaskinJunior You know, I have to tell you something. I like the Swedes, because whereas the insane fringe left (who now unfortunately are becoming more mainstream, through media domination), we are also told somehow by these same kooks that your European models are the ones to follow, when in reality even the American left is far more leftist/socialistic than even you are in those countries. I really do think that if many (if not most of them these days, which didn't so much used to be the case), if they actually had their way, would make even _you_ people look like regular uber right wing Rush Limbaughs (a largely misunderstood man, I might add, namely, by the fringe left). I realize this all stems from ignorance, though, but as someone who actually studies these kinds of things......it's just so damned frustrating, especially when people want to accuse you of being a "hater" for simply speaking common sense truth.

51MontyPython The problem is that we trail behind you. Less swedes follow the news every year, and the news is made more entertainment for every year that passes. The key to the good life we have, (Yes I believe I have a better life given the conditions I had when I was born, then I would if I was born in the same blue to white-collar family in the USA) is enough of our electorate make wise informed decisions. Populist parties are unfortunately trending. Earlier when more of our population informed themselves better populist parties got nowhere. It is a old saying "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is". That is why our left wing is so moderate, as well as our conservative wing. A bit boring when they try to debate why half a percent is leading to the end of the world, but I rather have a boring government that is good at governing, than a exciting government that isn't.

MaskinJunior lol, yeah, I'll bet the differences between the parties over there is basically insubstantial. Yeah, and I'll also say that what works in Sweden (to whatever extent that it does) wouldn't work here in the U.S. This has been stated even by Swedish economists, and living here myself, and can tell you this is very true. To the extent that you do make your system work, I think it has not even so much to do with the policies themselves as it does the people as a more homogenous group simply working it more responsibly. For example, I think it was back the 70s (or sixties maybe, I forget) that Sweden's economy tanked, and they rolled back by implementing austerity measures, and then sure enough it came roaring back. The left would never do that here. They would simply call for more of the same excesses that got us into the mess in the first place, always ever assuming is that the problem is that we just haven't done _enough_ of it. It's the definition of insanity, and so why I say the far left here _is_ literally insane (among many other reasons). There is also a great deal that the American progressives misunderstand about the Swedish system. A lot of myths and misconceptions. Their perception of it here is not in line with reality, even the way it actually works. I understand why those of the leftist persuasion don't get fiscal conservatism though, because it's largely counter-intuitive (the reason I actually like to engage people in debate -- _real_ debate, which with certain factions I find simply impossible. I digress) and takes a certain mind and level of understanding to really get it, though for some it just comes natural, because their brains are just wired that way. That's why I really admire men like economist and professor Thomas Sowell of Hoover Institute, who actually started out as a Marxist, but then started asking questions and thinking critically for himself (which of course is just not allowed by the far left here -- the reason why academia has been taken over by absolutely _INSANE_ Marxist professors who censor their students in ever-so typical Maoist/Stalinist fashion -- it really is ridiculous the degree to which this is true, and it really is scary to see the zombie like herd mentality of their useful idiot flocks who just mindlessly accept everything fed to them without question. The only so-called "critical thinking" they employ is to parrot off mindless platitudes they've had instilled in them ad naseum. They can never engage in *REAL,* _true_ debate. It's all emotional appeals and ad hominems without any realism or rationality, anyhoo, I'm rambling...I digress)....back to Sowell, after noticing just how typically vicious the attitudes and reactions toward him were from his fellow "comrades," for any questioning of their paradigms -- anything other than pure lockstep unquestioning solidarity, naturally felt that there was something wrong there. And so being a more rational, analytical, numbers oriented kind of guy, started really investigating his preconceived paradigms more critically, and with more scrutiny, which inevitably led him to do a full 180 turn around, even going on to study under the eventual Nobel prize winning economist Milton Friedman. I personally think the man is a literal genius. He has an uncanny ability to explain the complex in simple and concise terms that is easy enough for anyone to understand, and debunks common myths like no one else (and why the left hates him). And it is _these_ people in particular who I most admire, because it shows that they actually have a brain and can think for themselves, unlike all the mind numbed robots we see all over the place these days. I always say it's a lot harder to be a conservative, because being what they call a "liberal" today is easy. All you have to do is say how much you "care," and you're in the club, without ever actually having to defend the case for your positions. Not so with conservatism. And it always chaps my ass when the libs just automatically assume (and make the ridiculous accusation) that those of the conservative persuasion have arrived at such because of a 'lack of _"compassion,"'_ as opposed to just the opposite based on what they see to be more reasoned _in addition_ to actually being best for _everyone._ It is precisely on _that_ point which the uber leftists can never allow the debate to really center around, and that's what's most frustrating of all. They always have to sell the emotional narrative; that's how their persuasion works. Emotion without logic is a dangerous thing for the mind, and for society at large. I'll say this, it always is a breath of fresh air when I can find someone on the left who is actually capable of engaging in civil and reasoned debate, which I find much much more difficult (even impossible, it seems) from the American left. (The most intelligent, civil, and respectful debate I've had on these things was with a person who is also from Sweden, to the point that I was taken aback, from the contrast to what I'm used to. It was a rather pleasant covo). Pretty much all the ones (uber leftists) I run into all have this disturbingly typical personality type of being narcissistic, elitist, arrogant, condescending, and very very childish and obnoxious in their approach, only thinking with their emotions and never listening to sound reason. I've even experienced it personally from those who are _supposedly_ more right wing/conservative such as Mike Doocey ("Douchey," as I call him) from FOX News when I had to tell him to act his age one day in a back and forth we had. I mean just extraordinarily childish, so juvenile I couldn't believe it, especially since he had no clue what he was talking about and simply would not listen (ignorance combined with arrogance, a volatile mix) -- reminded me of a child when they plug their fingers in their ears, "I'm not listening! I can't hear you! ...na na na na na! ...and the language he used....I found it rather unbecoming. Anyhoo....Yeah, it's hard to find people who can engage in proper debate especially when they think they already know everything (those are the most ignorant of them all). It requires someone with intellectual humility. A rare quality I find. I might even come across as rather arrogant myself at times, but, it's because I just get so frustrated with those who are to arrogant themselves to even _question_ their own ideas. I might make bold assertions myself, but always willing and able to back them up, and it's really only those who _aren't_ willing much less able to do this who I can have a tendency to get short with. I always try to start out my conversations civilly, but with certain types it always inevitably descends into anything but rational discussion, and I lose patience. Okay, this has gotten way too verbose...my apologies; I'm just interested in this kinda stuff. :)

Joy Williams What do you mean "unlike...other idiots?" If from the United States of America, everyone has that right. America is two, very large continents. Not a country! But, did you notice the little disclaimer at the end? It's called being paid, not free speech. When you're paid to say something it's a bit different.

What incredibly calculated B.S. you do spot

What?

If someone has a VA card, it means you are a veteran. You turn in your military ID card for a TA180 card.

My dad served 30 years in the corps still has a military id

Then it's a TA180 card.

SmelliestElm Your point?
