Against John McCain's Foreign Policy -- Part 4 of 9 -- Video

The fourth part of Mr. Stolyarov’s video presentation in opposition to John McCain’s foreign policy ideas addresses John McCain’s campaign promises for a “national service initiative” and the inherent contradictions entailed therein. Moreover, Mr. Stolyarov critiques McCain’s call for Americans to “put country first… above all else.” Mr. Stolyarov argues that such thinking rests on the logical fallacy of reifying a collectivity. Furthermore, McCain’s call for sacrifice for “higher causes” is eerily reminiscent of statements made by both Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, which are examined in Part 5 of this presentation. It is perplexing that so many Americans who consider themselves devoted to individual liberty fail to reject John McCain’s candidacy on account of these fascistic sentiments being loudly trumpeted.
