"ECONOMICS ARE IRRELEVANT!"--James, around the 6:25 mark of this video

[Travis Retriever]

"'Kerrl, with noblest of intentions, wanted to attempt a synthesis between National Socialism and Christianity. I don't believe the thing's possible, and I see the obstacle in Christianity itself.... Pure Christianity-- the Christianity of the catacombs-- is concerned with translating Christian doctrine into facts. It leads quite simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely whole-hearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics.'

Adolf Hitler

'Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery.... .... When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease.

Adolf Hitler'"--dex1391 on this video in the comments, without any citations

[Travis Retriever]

So who wants to bet that those quotes he left in an attempt to paint Adolf Hitler as an Atheist are quote mines?

Even if they aren't quote mines (a huge assumption in and of itself) it still doesn't explain why he spoke of doing "the Creator's work" or something like that in Mein Kampf, his Baptism and the fact that he never renounced it, his public prayers, the belt buckles with the words, "Got Mit Uns" or "God With Us", his constant hanging out with the Catholic higher ups, and the blessing he and the Nazis got from the Pope.  And even if Hitler was an Atheist, it still doesn't mean that him being an Atheist caused him to do what he did.
Him and Stalin also had mustaches.  Does this mean that having mustaches causes people to mass murder?

And even IF being an atheist caused him to mass murder, why don't we see that same thing with people today (to any meaningful percentage) becoming atheists and becoming mass murderers as a direct result?  In fact, what statistics I have been shown shows people of faith are more likely to murder, rape, etc.

And even if THAT were the case, it would still put atheism pretty low on the list of causing deaths.
Environmentalism, from what I can tell would still be far greater in deaths caused than atheism.
I could go on.
All it shows is that dex1391 either missed the point of the video, or more likely, didn't even watch it to begin with.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this article belongs in here.

Wow! Lots of ad hominem attacks, but if there was an argument in there anywhere, I missed it.

From the comments:

I think this guy is making an admission that rightwingers in general don't want to admit: 

"I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible." That seems the basis for the Citizens United decision, and generally the way the new Libertarian-style conservatives have developed their worldview. 
The first time I heard the term "Jobless Recovery" I realized with a shock: These people don't need us anymore. This guy makes it clear he, and by extension the rest of Randian Supermen-In-Their-Own-Minds, would just like the rest of us to go away and die. Historically, the next step is in engineering that outcome.

I think I might die from all the facepalming.

[Travis Retriever]

Oh, God, I couldn't even get through that whole comment.

As for the article, I got bored after finishing the first paragraph.
It didn't seem very interesting, and judging by Shane's comment, it doesn't sound like it had any substance either.

[VectorM]

I finished it and it's exactly as Shane said - no arguments whatsoever. Just Ad Hominem, strawman and just general idiocy. "HOLY SHIT HE DOESNT THIN DEMOCRACY IS A GOOD THING ZOMG!" And so on. The guy just acts as if it's some sort of undeniable fact that democracy is the best system ever and that colleges are magic or something, so he just slams Peter Thiel for his disagreements.

There is even this one part, where they mention that Thiel is gay, which didn't seem to be of any relevance whatsoever. It's like the writer tried to appeal to some of the readers homophobia, in a stealthy way.

And btw, it seems this site is from the same fridge as MSNBC...

Of course.  Because nothing is too low when defending a dogma.

Please tell me that's a parody...

[MrBogosity]

For some reason, it reminds me of Oingo Boingo's "Perfect System."

Please tell me that's a parody...

I made almost the exact same comment on the video.

And yes, as far as I can tell, it's a real video by a real ministry.

[Travis Retriever]

Ah, YouTube.
You never cease to amaze me with the shear amount of stupid emanating from your comments.

"@Stargazer5781 Yes, all efforts at pooling resources are highway robbery. Why? because profits are always involved. When that becomes involved, morality goes out the window."--qtzlctl2012 in the comments of this video.

"You're shifting the burden of proof. I don't need to describe why my state is going to protect me for you to demonstrate how a stateless society can. they are two separate issues. And your insinuation that I must do this otherwise my position loses merit is akin to saying I must prove my husband won't beat me unlike the millions of other husbands that beat their wives. It's a loaded question."--qtzlctl2012 in the comments of this video.

"@Stargazer5781 Of course you have no words! you're talking out of your ass!

And along with no words, you have no evidence. Just like a typical anarchist."--qtzlctl2012, same source as the above.  Can you say "Psychological Projection"?
