Keep getting the anti-English jibes in though, the Yanks and drunk Scots love them.
no wonder he feels at home in Yankee Doodle Dandy Land, he's so full of his own overblown rhetoric he can be at home amongst all the other Yank braggarts and blowhards.
@Terry1969ism just remember us silly yanks saved your ass twice from those leather pants wearin germans... of course only after we kicked your asses twice oh and as far as the chinese overlord shit... if we got serious about it we could pay that back however i believe you silly twits allowed george soros to collapse the sterling right under your noses my goodness you pip pip cheerio types are truly inspiring.
One person is from Al Quida and clicked the dislike button.
And you can tell Craig really means what he says. His accent gets thicker as he goes along. A wonderful man and a wonderful American. If more people who lived in this country felt the same way for America as he does.... man... that would make the country an even brighter place.
@moonmatter Don't badmouth Craig just because he chose the USA over your country.
I don't call someone a hypocrite or a suckup when they say the UK is the greatest country in the world. I just silently disagree. Both countries allow the freedom for even a bitter, whiny person like you to voice their opinion. And I also have the freedom to ignore you.
I will exercise that freedom now. Cuss me out if you want; I won't bother to argue.
Well, you're a charming one, aren't you? I don't think you can take something somebody said in a *comedy* routine years ago as evidence of how they really feel about something. I mean, he was also a blackout drunk years ago in Britain. Does that mean he should still be so?
Craig has wanted to be an American since his teenage years, and now, happily, he is. I don't know why this would bother anyone so much. I say to Craig -- and to all Americans by choice -- congratulations and welcome home!

@earlydues Welcome home to him. The home where 25% of the worlds prison population are incarerated. A home where if he was born there, under the "3 strikes and youre out" rule, he would have been in gaol with them.

@earlydues Who are you the Youtube police? You seem to spend quite a bit of effort in loading vids of ferguson. Do you have posters of him all over your walls also?
He is full of overblown patronizing rhetoric. To say America is synonimous with freedom is at best delusional. And to say all men are born equal is another delusion he subscribes to.
Grumpy? When people bullshit yes but I'm free to do so because america does not have a monopoly on freedom.
It requires very little effort to watch a video. Extra effort to comment on it. I find it a waste of my time to make negative comments on videos that I disagree with. Would just make me look like a crotchety douche.
"Free to be happy, free to be miserable." I choose happy. Sounds like you've made your choice as well. Best of luck to you with that.
"robert mugabe, kim jong il, glenn beck...nah, fuck those guys. they're small fish. i shall direct all of my pent up anger at a vulgar lounge entertainer. that will make the world a better place."
but hey, who am i to judge? i did just post a reply to a troll (a pathetic one at that. i mean, did you get banned from the cancer support forums or are you just starting small?)
Craig Ferguson is a bit deeper than I knew. Love his show but this speech shows a whole other side.... Fabulous. Was quite an honour for him i imagine. Loves America thats obvious, but with his talent, work ethic, and immense appeal I think he would find success anywhere. Why so much credit to America?
Because America was the first place that truly touched him. It's special to HIM. It has nothing to do with America itself, but how it was HIS first exposure to something different. At least, that's what I think.
Even with craig in a very serious state of mind, he can still crack a joke when a cell phone goes off while he is talking. " it comes with its own music" haha
@Terry1969ism Enjoy your tall poppy syndrome, tosspot. :D Oh, and I LOVE how your people have to draw lotteries in order to see a doctor. Your people are dying while waiting for simple surgeries that are available instantly in the USA. LOL! Your cancer survival rate is the lowest in the western world! hahahaha!
Lottery? What lottery? Me and my family have had some of the best medical care in the world, and they have saved my fathers life on 2 occasions in the last 5 years when an american "health system" would have him dying in the street after an insurance company decides it will no longer give coverage.I will take the NHS any day of the week and after a month of sundays
@MrJonez68 Oh and btw, the OECD statistics you have seen regarding cancer survival rates are from 2004, and while Britain was 16th on the list the USA was 9th so hardly world champions either, are you?
@angel102ify Oh wait, i made a mistake, as it turns out per 100,000 people the USA had on average 329.1 deaths due to cancer,and the UK had 253.5 deaths per 100,00.
So suck it :p How is your system working out for you now?
I showed this to my history teacher, and he showed it to his classes. Beautiful, just beautiful, patriotic, and American.

@moonmatter Perhaps. But that has little/nothing to do with him being happy to be an American.
You've spent quite a bit of time here just to leave negative comments. Are you always this grumpy?

@earlydues When an argument is put forward and someone has no clue how to tackle it, one ruse is to attack the arguer.
"waste of my time to make negative comments on videos that I disagree with" Wow, freedom is healthy with people like you around!
BTW, even a douche bag has a use, you however, don't have one.
Stay happy!
