It's incredible, to say the least. Historically, the left (Democrats) back when slavery was hip, were abundant. The right did fight to free the slaves, the abolitionists, as they were known as. Now a days... things have changed. I could be ignorantly getting all of that wrong but there were a lot of Democrats who left the party in the 50s and 60s when civil rights were the topic of the day and they went to the right. They became Republican. Most of them are still alive or managed to spread their ideology before they retired. Republicans can't say that the racist, indifferent ideology isn't prevalent in the party today. MR. Prager is just a consistent apologist for what clearly is an evil mentality.

It is ridiculous to think you know the totality of someone from a snapshot. Unless you have listened to Prager over the course of many months, and/or read his books, you don't know him. When he speaks of "destroying evil," it is never in the literal sense. Do you know his personal background? When he states a position he always cites examples, and on the radio broadcast he always invites dissenters to speak FIRST. HIs style is never to be rude or attacking. Also, I would think you would like the fact that he makes a distinction between "liberal" and "leftist"--?

Jason Penn except everyone pays into social security and social welfare systems. Socialism is funded with the people’s money. It’s why social security is called social security, social welfare is called social welfare , and socialism is called socialism. It’s one of the things your taxes go to , because counter to the idiotic assertion , taxes aren’t theft. They’re basically membership dues you pay to live in a society that are then used to fund programs that benefit you and everyone else directly or indirectly. I figured this out in elementary school when taxes and other political and governmental ideas were explained to me for the first time. And if a nine year old can figure that out, it boggles my mind how adults can’t. Either that, or I was smarter at nine than the average adult, which is honestly goddamn terrifying.

@@frankm.2850 Social Security is NOT socialism.... It is (for a lack of a better term) insurance.... You pay into it and after a certain age (post retirement age), you start drawing it back out. It is no different than a 401K in premise. The problem is that the Government violates the purpose for it and "borrows" against it. Money that the Government "borrows" is not earning interest while it is out of the Social Security System. This means that the Federal Government is actually stealing from you because the money you put in is not drawing the interest that it is supposed to. When you put money in and later get money back out, that is a normal economic practice and is neither Capitalist, nor Socialist, but is more common is Capitalist economies. Welfare on the other hand IS socialist because it is wealth distribution at its finest where you don't even have to put anything in to get something out of it. With Social Security, you are only allowed to pull out money if you put money in, but, with welfare, the more that are on it, the less are putting in, therefore the money eventually runs out. There is a big difference in the two programs! Learn the difference! The reason why Social Security was started was because people were starting to NOT save for retirement, and in old age were becoming destitute, so Social Security was started to allow people to have funds to fall back on when they got so old that they could no longer work. You are not as smart as you think you are, because you have no concept of what Socialism is!

I may not live in Texas, but I am desperate to support you for Texas state senate and anyone else like you around the country running for any office, how can I assist and is there a secular humanist voting guide and anyone else you directly support or anyone else running anywhere from the Atheist Alliance? Also, if so, I have been thinking about running for local government and becoming a member of the atheist alliance of america to help support secular humanism in a time when we desperately need more of that.

And here is for a Matt Dillahunty Aronra presidential candidacy. I would have no idea who to vote for between Jill Stein, Bernie Sanders and this dream of a secular duo of Matt and Aronra running for president hahaha. Also sorry if you had information in regards to supporting your campaign that I may not have been aware of during the video.

JoelRiter umm, Jill Stein wouldn't be an option if you'd listen to her past interviews. She has no idea what she is talking about or doing, like the inverse of Trump with all the same knowledge...none. I'd be happy with Aron as a VP for Sanders, since I don't know if Matt wants to run for office. Having thoughtful leadership and laws is super important, but please keep in mind to do as much research as possible. Jill Stein would have been as bad as the candidate from the libertarians because he didn't know what he was doing either, and that idiot was governor.

Clarence Spangle umm, my comment was that she was ill informed to lead a country, as is the PoS currently in office. Her ancestry has nothing to do with it. We are all of the same origin, therefore segregation and hate are useless. I'd take someone well meaning and ignorant instead of malicious and ignorant like we have now. Then again, that's the general state of racist such as yourself. I hope you stop hating people you don't know someday. If that doesn't turn out to be the case, I hope you don't harm anyone other than yourself before your end. Best of luck at stopping yourself from being worthless, one way or the other.

I live in an area where I am surrounded by people who constantly demonize liberalism while simultaneously lionizing conservatism. But if you read up on the history of Liberalism it began during the Age of Reason with the three major characteristics of liberals being that they fought for equality, secularism, and representative democracy forms of governments -e.g., republics. The most prominent figures of this time were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, et al. You cannot tell me that our country was not founded on liberalism. The conservatives were freaking fighting to preserve the monarchy. I never felt that it was right to demonize conservatives, but conservatives feel really comfortable with demonizing liberalism all the time, even though they are attacking the founding principles of America.

"Steven Smith 3 hours ago BARBATUS 89 yes the Age of Reason was about being rational" Not entirely, or the educated would not go from life from life as science says, to life from non-life which is more magical than alchemy. You atheists are hypocrites since you believe in the most miraculous of stories. :-) "of course you wouldn't know that because you're an emotional" Making me human... Go on... You have yet to find a fault in me. "Little Snowflake" You use that cliche but it doesn't apply to me since I never complained about feelings being hurt, as I can defend myself from all of you retards just as I have easily against the guy with the biblical name Aaron, who should change "Aron" to "Kim Jong" whatever to match the atheism shared by both assuming the dear leader doesn't secretly worship Satan, but that's another topic. "and a troll" You atheist shits criticize me for correcting a common misproper use of the word America, but you are the ones who need English lessons. Let me help you. A troll is someone you don't respond to, because when you do, it proves you don't really believe they are a troll, as trolls are not fed by those who consider them to be trolls. So your action negates your word. You are against yourself. You're that stupid. Haha! :-) "who likes to poke fun at people whose ideas he things are ridiculous" I mock mockers, little snowflake. Cry me a river. "democracy is not overrated in fact it's the most practiced system of government all across the globe" Retarded bandwagon fallacy from a retarded atheist, excuse the redundancy. And it being popular totally goes hand in hand with it being overrated, you tard! "almost everyone in this day and age practices democracy" Dumbocracy. "and if you think it's overrated what would you propose the rule of a dictator" I'd rather be ruled by King Solomon than George Dubya Bush, and I think you would also, even if you don't admit it. :-) "or an oligarchy" Every dumbocracy is an oligarchy you tard, because the masses are simpletons easily swayed by the media, so whoever controls the media controls the masses. How did the US dumbocracy get to raping Iraq? Because the US is full of idiots who believe whatever FOX Noise and faggoty and libtarded CNN tell them to believe. "and finally when he was saying America he's talking about the United States" I knew that, you idiot. You aren't teaching me anything. "so don't bother bringing Central America or South America into this we're not responsible for them" The US is responsible in large part for the drug problems in Hispanic America, because of supply and demand in that the greatest demand is from the rich, and the rich are in the US and Canada. I'm glad I left the US forever. It's a shithole full of faggots, pseudo-intellectual atheist morons like you, heretics, blind patriots, bitches and wiggers. :-)

Joseph Garrett Prager isn't an apologist? How are you defining "apologist" here? I was thinking something like: "a person who offers an argument in defense of something controversial." WLC comes off to me as incredibly condescending and arrogant while simultaneously presenting the same arguments over and over even though he's been corrected many times. For instance he still presents atheism as "the positive claim that no god exists" despite having multiple atheists correct him and tell them that what they mean by atheist is simply a person who is not convinced that theistic arguments have met their burden of proof. There is a lot more that drives me nuts about WLC, that's just one easy one off the top of my head. I don't want to get side tracked and focus on that specifically. :)

"Evolution has zero explanation for the creation of life." Praeger's belief in God has zero explanation for the origin of life. I know Praeger is a follower of Judaism and that Judaism pushes the notion that God "created" life, but there is NO explanation, only an assertion that God did it. Claiming it happened by God's magic doesn't explain how it happened, nor provide us with predictive power.

I have taken the political compass test about 4 times and where I appear on the graph changes a little every time I take it. I take the test honestly and do not answer to have a particular outcome. Once I was very close to center, just left and just low. Today I was half way left and half way low. I think that aspects of my opinion change as I learn more or just hear and see more, and I might not be hearing and seeing the truth. It might be good that I don't always land the same on the graph, that could mean that I am open minded.

I consider myself a liberal. I always have. I am an environmentalist. I drive a Prius. I am pro-women's rights. I am for the rights of gays to marry, adopt, etc. Yet, I am not for free and open immigration. This has to do with environment: my personal environment. And I am against anyone who violates the rights of others, specifically in terms of free speech. So I am all for right-wing conservatives being allowed to speak on college campuses and I am against those who illegally disrupt these speaking engagements. They are not liberals, in my opinion. As for Dennis Prager, he has said many things that I profoundly disagree with, including his notion that a Christian-style god is required for cultural health, and school children should be taught the Pledge of Allegiance.
