They are neither clear nor ironclad enough. There is already evidence that there are both individuals and groups who are just waiting for a law to pass so that they can use it to start litigation. You may think that the constitution is self evident in this respect. I agree that to NORMAL people with common sense and fairness, it probably is enough. But we're not talking about anything normal, sensible or fair. We're talking about fringe activists who will use any loophole of any kind to instigate legislation. That's the kind of world we live in, alas. Unless the law in itself CONTAINS those clearly spelt out protections, then there will be those who will use it for purposes and causes which it was never intended for. That's reality, and 'traditional marriage' defenders are not stupid enough to just cross their fingers. That's just how it is.

EWWWWWWWW!! This bitch is most assuredly NOT fucking cute. Are you kidding me? God damn. This bitch is UUUUGGGGLY and NOT CUTE. Plus I had to turn my speakers way the fuck up to even hear this video. Laaaame. Every piece of media on the internet needs to have its audio normalized.
Also, ew, it just got to the part where she starts playing. And what the fuck is this shitty ass song? Sounds like crap. Honestly. This is annoying. Sorry. I have to say it. I would downvote if I could.
Since you apparently don't know this, let me clarify: If you watch videos via VideoSift, comments you make will not actually be forwarded to Youtube. Next time, click on the embedded video first, then comment. When you do, remember to work the word "faggot" in there somehow. I think they require that as a matter of policy.

Ah, that's what the tags are for. I didn't put the names in the tags since I figured any search will look in the title as well, so why duplicate? Thanks for the heads-up.
Try to add more tags next time (like 'jon stewart, glenn beck' and so on. Would help the site find other similar videos when you submit and avoid dupes.

For the love of all that is holy, can we please retire the word "FAIL"? This wasn't even a "fail", the device worked perfectly.
To be fair, though, it does provide a pretty robust way to identify videos not worth the time it takes to view them.
Cheers..
Orrrr we could just stop fighting wars we dont belong in and save money for healthcare that way.
I keep hearing about the 1 trillion dollar price tag on a new health care plan, but the Iraq War to date has cost the US $860 billion.

Not to sound like a hippy douche but we need to get patriotic about something BESIDES war.

Oh FFS. I think public healthcare is a fine idea, but this clip is just a load of bull. Kristol is saying that U.S. soldiers get expensive, quality medical services paid by the state that, if offered to everyone, would be too costly, but the soldiers have earned it. Stewart ignores the cost issue and uses this as proof the state should, in fact, provide a similar level of care to everyone.
Whether or not the state can provide good healthcare services at a high cost is not the issue. The question is whether the state can provide it at a reasonable cost to taxpayers. I think yes, but I can still see there is no good argument being made here for that point of view.

I am a very liberal person but the rights of the individual only extend as far as they dont infringe on the rights of others. In this case, the intent, even described by the woman herself, was to ward of a specific race of people.

I'm as liberal as it gets but I don't think this falls (or should fall) under first amendment protections.
Doesn't sound like you're all that liberal to me. Assholes, too, have the right to free speech.

Upvote for kettlebell sumo deadlift-high pull. I saw "personal trainer" in the title, was sure I'd see someone doing bicep curls or barbell rows or other mystifying exercises like that, but no! There was that last remark about "maybe doing a little bit of bodybuilding", though...
