Friday night videos episode 7

There’s plenty out there to make this edition interesting, so let’s get cracking shall we?

If you’re not familiar with the name Lee Doren, that’s not unusual. But what Lee does is take those videos which are chock full of liberal lies and mistruths and debunks them. It’s the “How The World Works” channel on YouTube. Here he’s interviewed by Glenn Beck of Fox News.

I will hand it to Beck: he is deferential to his guests, almost to a fault.

Needless to say, we’re still talking about health care. But rather than Washington politicians, I wanted to get some other voices in here. This next video features Jim Martin, the president of the 60 Plus Association.

I liked the part about AARP being so heavily invested in the insurance industry, and it’s a true statement. Essentially the AARP has become a giant marketing organization as opposed to a group interested in benefitting seasoned citizens, as was its original intent. In five years I can tell them to drop dead.

Speaking of marketing organizations, this video comes from a recent health care rally. Whose job is on the line again?

The weakness in the video was that no one asked the woman who was paying for her to be there. Actually, the petition wasn’t that bad as a way of getting a mailing list – I get mail from Organizing for America because I like to know what the opposition is up to.

And there’s so much more going on…it’s not that we’ve completely moved beyond health care but other things demand our attention. Take the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh – Rep. Ron Paul did (yeah, he’s still a Congressman).

It was over a century ago that Presidential campaigns were won and lost debating the gold standard, so history continues its cyclical run.

His House cohort Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana is one of my favorite Congressmen so I’m reviewing his remarks at the 9-12 TEA Party in Washington, D.C.

It was an honor to be in my nation’s capital…we ARE the cavalry! And note the irony of plugging a book called “The Death of Conservatism” during his speech. Looks pretty alive to me.

Local filmmaker Tom Taylor also contributed a short film about the 9-12 experience.

It’s for the historical record, and let me tell you the day was historic to say the least. The fact that he posted a video to tell his tale provides a bridge to my final video of the evening.

I can’t really tell whether this is to shill for a book or some sort of marketing tool, but those numbers on social media make sense. It’s parallel to the telephone going from the old-fashioned wired land line of my youth (our rural home we built when I was a youth had a party line* for about a year before the phone company gave our area private lines) to the ease and convenience of cellular phones – the same goes from the bulky PC of my twenties to the hand-held units of today.

Ten years ago I’d have never dreamed of doing what I do, and it’s amazing how the world evolves – yet it still needs some basic ideas like liberty and freedom.

* A party line, for those of you under 30, is where you shared one phone line with several neighbors. We had to make sure none of them were on the phone before we placed a call.

One thought on “Friday night videos episode 7”

  1. wow, the numbers on social media subscribers are amazing… the common wisdom that is shared is dwarfed by the spectre of common deception…

    we must always rely on our ability to think for ourselves.
