Barr on Glenn Beck Again- 8/28

Wearing a t-shirt with the phrase infamously coined by  Barack Obama, “Bitter typical white person clinging to God and my guns”, conservative talk show host, Glenn Beck, once again gave Libertarian Presidential nominee, Congressman Bob Barr, a full hour on Thursday evening.  Like most of America, Glenn is unsure of who to vote for in November, but is also concerned about “throwing his vote away” if he votes third party.  Bob does an excellent job of presenting the case that voting for McCain or Obama is truly a wasted vote and that his message of smaller government, tax reform and personal liberty is what the country needs and what most voters identify with.

In this first video, Glenn asks Bob to answer the questions posed by pastor Rick Warren to McCain and Obama during the Saddleback Debate. They discuss the Russia/Georgia conflict and the finer aspects of Bob’s foreign policy stance, the current Supreme Court Justices, the definition of “rich”, and why higher taxes hurt the poorest of Americans.


Part two continues with tax reform, when military action should be used, global warming and energy independence.


In part three, they talk about the arrogance of the current candidates and the pessimistic, disconnected mood pervading America.


During the fourth part, Bob answers questions about term limits, reducing the size of government, the effect Ross Perot had in 1992, the role the media plays in elections, and how Americans vote the paradox of wanting smaller government, but expecting big programs.  Bailouts are also touched on.


Part five starts with border control and continues with the price of oil, why Bob needs to be in the debates, and the evolution of the Libertarian Party.


Finally, in part six Glenn shoots Bob some fun, rapid-fire questions about Bob Marley, childhood nicknames, time travel and Bob’s favorite Amendment.


Bob needs to show me where in the Constitution it allows a flat or consumption tax.
