  • capitalism is the universal road road to world peace. It does not speak in the language of ideals, which vary and cannot be agreed upon by most men, but rather speaks in the universal language of desire, shared desire. After awhile of trading with someone you go "you know this guy isn't half bad." Unpoliticized capitalism is truly a language shared by all.

  • The day a college commencement speach sounds anything remotely like this is the same day that Michael Moore makes an intellectually honest movie.

  • The threat of being sent over seas was never one women had to fear but one men still do.

    "...watch the 'person' to your left & to your right get blown to bits..." Not "person", MEN!

    "The fact you do not have to do any of these horrible & noble things, is because other 'people' have done it for you" Again, MEN have done it for you, & continue to do it for you to this day!

    Stop substituting sex neutral terms to hide the fact is was MEN who sacrificed to achieve the freedoms we take for granted.

  • Thank you so much!

  • It's so complicated to describe american nation. In whole world they wold say that american nation is indians, but not in USA. Thats the dificulty :/

  • WOW 

  • Brillant speech. Which leads to the fact that 74% of all self-help cd's, dvd's and books on how to compete in a competitive society are purchased by college graduates. All because thier mommies and daddies told thier kids they were special and entitled but after they graduated they realized they never were, other than to thier parents as expressed by thier parents finincial support. And these parents wonder why thier college graduate is moving back home with them for a few more years. LOL

  • who said wealth came from thin air

    HE talks about his last 40 years conclusions

    We should learn from History not only from recent past

    computer scinece is a new science

    Universities exists since the Greek anceint times!

    coming before the boss and leave after him is that your right tip?!

    WHY we mustn't let government in future waste all our taxes on millitary

    As this young generation is peacfull then in history

    I remember general buisness have existed for ever

  • This is strange, all the comments I see are positive... I hated this, just about every minute of it, it made me feel sick.

  • @twistedpreference that would be because you're a pretentious spoiled asshole

  • @BizWiz2000 Dear TROLL,

    That was harsh dude. You know nothing about me. I'll agree that I'm spoiled, but then again, so are you; we both own computers meaning we both have privileges that others don't.

    P.S. I hope you actually looked up the meaning of "pretentious" before angrily replying, nothing in my comment even HINTED at pretentiousness.

  • @twistedpreference True enough, I just like calling people i don't agree with pretentious assholes. At least you admitted you were spoiled, I commend that.

  • @BizWiz2000 Thanks, I appreciate what message you were trying to get across with what you said, by the way. There are a lot of people out there that just can't see past their own back yard, and are totally self-absorbed. Sorry for calling you a troll, and it's good that we can leave it at agreeing to disagree. Have a good one.

  • @twistedpreference

    "I hated this, just about every minute of it, it made me feel sick."

    Then you probably have a mental disorder.

  • @itachi705 All the time and the world, and THAT was the most clever statement you could come up with?

  • @twistedpreference I'm serious bro. Get yourself checked.

  • @itachi705 I appreciate the concern.... *eye-roll*

  • The best Commencement speech ever. Every American (and not only) must watch at least once...

  • these horrible and noble things... wtf is so noble with recent wars? and yes, federal budget is bigger today, but not because ppl have more money but because federal goverment takes more money from ppl.

  • 6th grade for me and it has forever changed my life. Politcally, and emotionally.

  • ... off-budget expenditures) it is approaching 40%

    2 Since the creation of federal reserve in 1913 the US dollar has lost over 95% of its purchasing power, i.e. something that costs $20 today would have cost $1 in 1913

  • "The US federal budget during the civil war was c 500 million dollars...today it is 3,500,000 million dollars....due to the fact that people have innovated, laboured, etc" Ehhh..... not exactly. This seemingly phenomenal in the federal budget (i.e. the amount of resources that the government takes from the productive economy by force) is primarily due to two factors:

    1 During the civil war federal, state and local government expenditure combined was less than 5% of GDP, today (excluding all....

  • Bittle Whittle's afterburner segments are always inspirational. They need more views!

  • War is not noble. America is not the most free, it is quite dominant. You are your own worst enemy not terrorists, terrorists are terrorists own worst enemies etc... (the closer/more similar something is the more likely it will be an enemy) It is possible for people under the right circumstances to come around to a different way of thinking. Much of the rest is true, but this is better, google: bspcn the best high school valedictorian speech

  • he forgot kick a ginger day... jus sayin

  • my great uncle died on omaha beach, and my grandfather fought from normandy to holland. to compare WWII to vietnam and afghanistan is fucking laughable. also, to those on here all in favour of pre-emptive war... how did that work out for hitler? Despite all the neocon rhetoric to the contrary, war drains the treasury and leaves us vulnerable to collapse. neocons are even worse than progressives, both will bankrupt us.

  • I am a college graduate and I am an inventor and perfecter of technology as a graduate student in polymer chemistry. I am creating wealth by developing new technology, and there are others in my generation to give us hope for prosperity. Thanks for your inspiration. :)

  • This is fantastic! Great job. I especially liked the part about how to advance in your job.

  • BILL WHITTLE for president

  • Cheers! Fantastic. So many that think this generation has it so good because we deserve it and it just fell into our laps because it's right--either that or they're upset that they don't have more out of life when folks their age a few generations back were being shot at by nazis.

  • Do yourself a favor and watch this clip and pass it around and around and around....

  • All Graduates should see this, but they still will only know when Reality Slams into their Faces.

  • Start to finish this is the best clip on the 'net!!! Do yourself, and your KIDS a favor and listen to it.

  • Wow! If only this were the commencent speech on more campuses! Young people setting out on careers need to hear the cold hard truth instead of pretty lies that will only make it harder for them to grasp the realities of being an adult. Life isn't fair and it isn't easy, but it can be rewarding if you care enough to work at it.

  • To the whiner UtwoBed, we've been fighting with Islamists since Jefferson was Pres. Try reading some history earlier then Obama's Presidency. Islamists fought WITH Hitler in WWII.

    As for the commencement speech, two thumbs up for a most incredibly true accounting of how a real Democratic capitalist society works.

  • This is just one of those refreshing messages that you don't hear very often.

  • This was beautiful. I am so glad I watched it

  • omg... listen to this while listening to starcraft terran music... hahahah its awesome.

  • Wow......... I wish someone had the stones to give that address to my children when they graduated.

  • This is total BS! Without exception interviewed "terrorists" will tell you they are merely retaliating for abuses we have heaped upon them for over 50 years starting even before we facilitated the overthrow of their legitimate rulers back in the fifties.

    To say these people hate us out of jealousy is ridiculous.

  • @UtwoBed What are you smokin? Have you read anything about them on their own sites? They hate all infidels Talked to any Former Islamics ?No right? England occupied that area 50 yrs ago... read history.. you guys are all a bunch of tree charts...

  • @carlindelco I don't smoke anything especially the propaganda of the main stream media. I stopped watching the "Idiot box" years ago. I think you missed the point.... they hate us and have every right to. If someone invaded your city and murdered your friends and family in clod blood you would hate just as much. If you don't understand the concept of "Blowback" then maybe you understand "revenge". Check out "Blowback" by Chalmers Johnson and find out the real truth.

  • @UtwoBed What people are you referring to that are 1) Not harboring terrorist or 2) are not themselves terrorist or in training? Do you remember the bombing of the USS cole? Why?

  • @carlindelco I never said anything about "terrorists", I don't use that term. It's a word invented by our government to label anyone they don't like so they can do whatever evil they care to do to them without observing Due Process or the Geneva Conventions.

    Sure I remember the Cole, just one more incident of Blowback in retaliation for the atrocities we have been heaping on the people of that region for decades.

    Like I said, check out the words of an ex CIA man Mr. Chalmers

  • @UtwoBed I know that you don't like that term u little snow flake.. The act of inflicting terror on a people is called "terrorism" it's been used for thousands of years..I don't this the USA created the word terror is that what they taught you in school? For decades? where .defending liberty.You totally lack any knowledge of foreign affairs why we have strategic partners.. weapons today are totally different from when we used little cannons.You want Hugo having a nuke? u wanna die? wake up!

  • @carlindelco Yeah, I'm a snow flake and you're a moron. The term has not been used this way till recent times. By your definition the US government is the biggest terrorist organization in history. I don't fear Hugo having Nukes at all, or a bunch of cave dwelling Muslims, but I do live in constant fear of my own government, and that's because I know a hell of a lot more about history and foreign affairs than you could ever hope to. Hell you can't even discern news speak when you hear it.

  • @UtwoBed recent?? try since atleast 1795.. man are all you guys so illiterate? yu come on here acting like you know everything.. but in fact you know nothing at all.. LOL Your crazy to think that it is ok for some nut who hates you.. to have a nuke.. really tell your family that..LOL you know history and foreign affairs? lol only what your lib/prog teachers have told you.You clearly don't have any knowledge of true American history.since you hate America so much.. where would you rather live?

  • @carlindelco You are a prime example of why this country is toast. The freedom you think you have is an illusion created by the television programming you are glued to most of the time. There is no place on Earth left to run to. As freedom dies on the vine here it dies for everyone in the World that held us as a beacon of hope. I love this country more than you do because I'm trying to save it from people like you. You don't even know the difference between war, self defense, and terrorism. Sad

  • @UtwoBed Are you dense.. I know about the freedoms we are and have lost here over the years.But our foreign policy has very little to do with that.. In today's world we do need preemptive action.. Read about American isolationist .. and you will see how that policy nearly cost the world it's freedom.. WE have to balance out the lessor of 2 evils 1) wait till the whole world is conquered bit by bit by a dictator (hitler,stalin,mao etc) and then try to defend ourselves alone or nip it in the bud

  • @carlindelco You cannot separate the two. Our Constitution was designed by looking at all the mistakes of history from the beginning of time. The experiment has failed. We have become the spearhead of the new evil spawned by a group of global elite who are hell bent on shoving their "New World Order" down everyone's throat. Your excuses are the exactly what every global imperialist has used throughout history. If there was any place on the planet to hide from what's coming I would move there.

  • @UtwoBed What are you smokin? yes you can... you guys are ALWAYS talking about Diest.. right.. what is that? Is that a religion? LOL this is getting easier and easier to beat down on you guys.. all of you are hypocrites and illiterate imbeciles. The NWO is coming.. BUT it's not an America creation.. look up soros, bilderbergers etc The real elitist are what the socialist, communist friends of O-man are and want to be..

  • @carlindelco Oh my God man turn off the TV. Will you ever figure out that they control both parties and the media? Do you actually believe that if that traitor McCain had won the election that anything would be any different? Are you unable to recognize that both the Democrats and Neoconservative Republicans have been leading us down the path to the New World Order totalitarianism since at least the thirties, and the banker / money changers long before that? I'm finished, this is a waste of time

  • @UtwoBed yeah I know that too.. it's the progressives.. they have cannibalized the dems.. and are in the republican party as well. BUT there is a real revival of constitutionalism We need to reset and get back to what our framers had in mind and design before the power hungry luns infiltrated the system. I don't know why you hate this video..? It's all true and great advice.. Support real Conservatives and restore our country..

  • @carlindelco You say you're free, let me ask you this: Do you wear a seat belt when you are in a car because it is the law? Do you think national healthcare is a good thing? Do you smoke cigarette's? Do you pay federal income taxes on the money you get for your personal work? If you answer yes to one of these questions you have shown you are not free! The framers of the Constitution worked for months on a document that would allow you to keep your freedoms and you give them away. Think about it.

  • @xtaxplayer 1) Yes I do.. not just because it's now the law I have been wearing it ever since I started driving I like it. 2) I don't agree with it. It IS a infringement/violation of our rights. 3) yes..? 4) yes.. they are outrageous You conflate anarchy with certain freedoms. I agree with you that our rights have been seriously diminished over the years. But we have much more freedom compared to much of the world. what we can do for a living, free speech, right to bear arms, worship God etc

  • @carlindelco Where is the right to bear arms? Your right to bear arms shall not be infringed . . taxing ammo at a rate higher then sales tax is an infringement, needing a license to carry or buy is an infringement. Where is the right to free speech; American's in an American high school are sent home for wearing a tee shirt with the American flag on it? Where can you worship God, Muslims get pray time at school while Christians cannot pray before a meal. You obviously don't understand freedoms.

  • @carlindelco yes we are privileged, but we CANT let the worlds LAST HOPE(AMERICA) lose ANY freedom

    PERIOD

  • @drainbamage26 I agree with that

  • Life Lessons:

    1. Trust no one. Everyone at work is looking to burn you to get ahead.

    2. Follow the rules, SOP's, etc at work. Deviate from them and you will be canned.

    3. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! You are not as smart as you think!!!!

    4. Always get it in writing. If they want you to do something that is in a gray area, get it in writing.

    5. Cover your own ass! See Above ^^

    6. SAVE MONEY!

    7. Pay your bills on time.

    8. Don't loan money to any one unless you can afford to write it off.

  • @LordAtrocities Yup!!

  • To the 4 who voted thumbs down to this video, go back to the Huffington Post and die.

  • @2bpilot I think you're right, but some people go wild even though they have been raised right. I have several friends like that, it's a sad deal. Some of those people are going to be running this country someday. It's a scary thought

  • University of FLORIDA in the background - Go Gators !!

  • Bravo!!!!

  • HA! Two dislikes! HAHA!

  • @2bpilot I agree, my parent's raised me VERY well.

  • This should be the universal Commencement speech.

  • Bill you are a gifted orator with an extremely logical mind that possesses the ability to deliver your message effectively to an entire spectrum of people and do it successfully. It's always a delightful, informational, and thought provoking pleasure to listen to your words and then ponder your message.

  • a deeply moral one? Come on, Bill ... be serious.

  • Very well done! Bravo!

  • Holy crap...

    Great Speech!

    Thank you Bill

  • not sure about the part where he said "your generation is  a deeply moral one," but Bill Whittle has quite a speech here and is infinitely more listenable for me than the ever-self-adoring BO

  • Simply Brilliant, Thank you

  • As a college student, one quarter away from graduation, I do not consider this to be a spoof. It's a great Commencement speech.

  • My high school graduation is tomorrow; I wish Bill would come over and give this speech

  • Every graduate NEEDS to hear a commencement speech like this!

  • If you vote this down, you are that pampered little brat.

  • Yea! Bill Whittle. Everything I have seen of Bill Whittle does is great. Look for other Bill Whittle videos.

  • This is quite possibly the best 10 minutes on the internet.

  • This is one of the greatest vids you have put out. So few will hear it and so few that hear it will realize the TRUTH in it. Godbless you man.

  • that kid wouldn't have fallen asleep with a commencement speech like this

  • The only people who cave in this quickly are members of the GOP who sell out their principles are the drop of a hat ... or for a quick buck ... or for a better seat on a Congressional panel.

  • It may be a speech you'll never hear but it sure is one that needs to be given.
