Owen Benjamin is a conservative commentator who discusses/critiques the culture from a "Regular Guy"/Common Sense perspective.
The discussion within government circles and sources is whether to "spread Democracy" and "our values" on Iran by military means.
Benjamin discusses the motivation, morality and hypocrisy of the same US Government that since Iraq War II has been assuring Americans they and our military have indeed been "spreading democracy" (while corrupting and destroying America's own democracy and culture.)
Poster Comment:
This is an especially good brief riff/convo that poses some good points.
The USA is no longer "good." OR benevolent. Moreover, haven't we done enough damage to the Middle East? (and ourselves?)
WHO are WE to dictate and export ANY of our corrupt, filthy pro-homo, man-hating, self-loathing globalist values and culture? Why trust a Globalist-hijacked US Gummint and its MSM hacks on anything?
Folks...If you haven't checked out Owen Benjamin and his podcast or shorts like this (Clips/Highlights), do so. The man speaks much truth on a myriad of subjects that should resonate with you. He's a Straight-shooter with no pretense.
His background is interesting in that he once made a living in Hollywood as a comic, was in the MTV series, 'Punk'd', hung out with many so-called stars and celebs. That is UNTIL he openly rejected their lack of any ethics, morals, abhorrent lifestyle and phoniness.
These days he is (happily) relegated to riffing on the culture and subjects of the day while reading real-time comments and reacting on his farm. It should be noted that Owen Benjamin is a strong family man. He presents what is a unique, refreshing format. His shorts and clips are best (between 8-15 minutes long.)
Benjamin and his truth-telling is deemed so dangerous that he has been tossed off of Twitter and FB, and been de-monitized by You Tube and PayPal.
Alexis de Tocqueville: Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits, aflame with righteousness, did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
America ceased being great when mainline churches stopped preaching the gospel and became pro-homosexual.
Tocqueville also said this about Islam: I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.
