One of the the most disturbing things about the recent debate, and there were many, was that there wasn't a single question about the threat to our nation's future posed by the national debt. Rep Massie admits at a recent congressional hearing on the up and coming continuing resolution bill that the hearings are all just political theater. He then states, "I refuse to be a thespian in a failed theater". Republicans and Democrats pretend to argue but reality just keep kicking the can down the road. Congress has had months to come up with 12 appropriations bills but again had failed the American people.

I don't see how someone could do what's necessary and be elected in a democracy. How can the final solution be anything but bankruptcy?

Massie is the leader we need, but that we don't deserve.

The great majority of the public wants to be lied to until the consequences eventually occur and then they become angry at the consequences they have brought upon themselves and look for someone else to blame.

It's an inevitable tragedy of human behavior.

And he'd cave as leader too, line his pockets with a pile of cash, and laugh all the way to a taxpayer backed pension retirement.

No one held accountable. Americans are still well fed and comfortable and kick the can down the road.

The same Massie that called JPeterson a luddite, and seems to be in favor of a police state?

See: 3:12 - what I originally saw was a snip, and didn't care to review the rest. The obsession with politicians is strange though lol. It's almost like telling a Falcons fan that the Eagle's are the best team.

Good grief!

If your sarcasm meter is off that badly…well, I don't know what to tell you.

He was clearly offering up a tee ball and is CLEARLY on Petersons side. If he wasn't, he would have interrupted his answer 10 seconds in.

are you serious? Massie and Peterson are clearly on the same team re: AI, government surveillance, and police/security state. He asked his expert witness questions that would invite him to start talking about his expertise.


If you know anything about Massie, you'd know he got rich through tech companies, bought the farm in Kentucky his wife grew up on, and made it self-sufficient and off the grid; he doesn't want or support a government surveillance state. He only got into local politics because he needed to get through some red tape bureaucratic BS for his farm. He was so successful at breaking through local red tape, his neighbors asked him to run for state rep and ultimately US rep for his district in KY. He doesn't need to be there. He's not for sale by the lobbyists. He's an actual public servant who is there to serve the people. Extremely RARE.

edits for spelling.

What a bizarre attempt to walk back with a post edit...this still doesn't even make any sense.

Massie asking Jordan Peterson, "why are you a luddite?" is pure gold, actually.

Intentionally taking a short snip out of context to try to destroy someone is par for the course, but I guess there are probably fine people on both sides, right?

Because 4 more years of double digit inflation will bring people back to the ballot box. We are just waiting for the next Reagan / Newt combo. Trump was hopeful, but he ain't it. But, the gameplan is laid out and obvious for the taking.

Did you listen to that whole 6 mins?

He threw him a softball, calling him a luddite wasn't an insult, it was bestowing a compliment - meaning he (Massie) agrees with Peterson in that we should not just give in to technology and provide the govt/corporations with all of the information that makes us private citizens.

this is old, but for those unaware, I highly recommend this 35 min video about Massie's self-sufficient farm where he also discusses how he got there and how he got into politics




also sad looking back, as he clearly loves his wife and family very much and his wife just died this year.

I think its sort of this "safety in numbers" fallacy. The larger the affected group, the less people care because they don't think they will have to deal with it.

The solution is to not have such a large federal government. Distribute the problem to more smaller groups (the states) who have (slightly) more accountability as well as more chance of some states actually "getting it right".

Plato says "hello". You are 100% right. He said a LONG time ago, that a Democracy is the second worst form of gov't. The people vote out the treasury, find themselves in trouble, and look for the Strong Man to come and save them.

We were never supposed to be a Democracy, but we have devolved into one thanks to the Democrazies and the uniparty Rhinos.
I despise Marxists... the most repugnant people alive.

Pardon me Mam, I'm going to need you to calm down. I made an offhand comment about a snip I hadn't reviewed lol.

You act like I insulted your father or something.

I do get why the board is easy to troll.

Never said I was, I'm just referring to the knee-jerk reactions that are commonplace.

Allegedly reviews only a short clip and draws a conclusion that anybody with an ounce of sense knows would be the wrong conclusion and then:

Says others are easy to troll
Says others have knee jerk reactions.

Fantastic.

i have nothing to get over, but you intentionally derailed this thread with your troll post by saying that Massie actually called Peterson a luddite and favors a police state. then you edited it to add a video. then you edited it to claim you posted something you didn't know you were posting. why are you doing this, if not to troll?

Isn't it though? It's like accidentally touching a fat kids lunch, putting it back, and then watching his turkey neck shake while he screams in indignation.

Because someone sent me a shortened clip of the exchange a while back, and I never even looked into it. A mistake was made, and the response is unreasonable.

Sorry I touched your lunch lol - seriously it isn't a troll, but wow you sure got to screeching fast which is what allot of leftists who post on here live for. You are Example A for why they do that

lol cute. Gotta head full of sawdust and when you get called out you act like everyone else is loony.

Trying to salvage this like it was a troll attempt is equally hilarious.

The 16th and 17th amendments killed off the republic and turned us into a democracy. The EC gives us the false impression the republic still exists.

Looks like Massie played everyone for a while.

Glad he's gone
