Silicon Valley Browncoat (Peter Thiel Speaks At The National Press Club)
National Press Club Live ^ | October 31, 2016 | NPC

Posted on 10/31/2016 9:22:16 AM PDT by OddLane

This is a remarkable speech-and I haven't even listened to 20 minutes of it. I don't know why this man isn't Trump's chief spokesman.

Sometimes we have to look beyond the flaws of others to get the best person for the job

Koch is a never trumpet who is a globalist

Lieberman was a democrat who favored Israel

Thiel is not a liberal

My feeling exactly. His descriptions of the status of America and the unnecessary wars are accurate.

It was a phenomenal speech.

If half of the tech leaders had his foresight, we'd be in a much better place right now.

Agreed. Trump needs every vote in this election, including those of LGBT’s. Thiel pinpointed accurately the problems America is facing today. Those who made nasty comments because of Thiel’s sexual orientation is doing disservice to Trump’s election.

Uncalled for, indeed. Thanks for being the first to say so.

The man is a Trump ally and supporter. And an influential with many. If he were throwing a lifebuoy to a drowning goofball such as we’ve just seen in that comment, would the drowning goofball throw it back because of his Samaritan’s sexual preference?

What is most telling about this speech is that he throws both Democrats and Republicans under the bus. In fact, his biggest criticism of Hillary Clinton seems to be that she's no different than what this country saw in the Bush administration.

This is the biggest reason why Trump has been successful. He's not really a Republican at all. He's an independent who hijacked the Republican nomination process, and he's running against a Democrat-Republican in the general election.

I can tolerate homosexuals so long as they do not push their sexuality in my face. I do not push my sexuality in any one’s face, so I wish all homosexuals would do the same.

Theil is NOT LIBERAL. He is a small government fiscal conservative. He supported Ron Paul (Libertarian leanings) and Cruz before supporting Trump.

Thank you for posting this. That was an awesome speech. Peter has a bright future in politics but I think he makes more money in the private side. lol.

Ok need to say this and get this off my chest! Look I am against Gay Marriage and I do not approve of the gay lifestyle HOWEVER! it does not give nobody the right to harass, or being crude to a person because they are gay or lesbian. I have notice a few Freepers being so crass and using vulgar language against gays even if they are Conservative.

We are trying to restore this nation back to being a Republic with the help of patriots even if they are Gay and happen to be Conservative. What happens, many of you knock them down. I applaud Mr. Thiel, I am looking forward to many of his future speeches. We need all the help we can get to restore to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and respect one another.

THANK YOU MR. PETER THIEL!

p.s: thank you for letting me rant

No he is not liberal...In the past, he supported Ron Paul Libertarian/Republican and Ted Cruz Conservative Republican.

Please check your facts before posting.

BTW, inflamatory rhetoric and false information does not help anything.

Koch is a never trumpet who is a globalist!

Yes, he has explicitly stated that he won’t vote for Trump which means he is a defacto Hillary supporter!!
