Look in the scene where we are holding letters us spelling out "America". Canadian, Amer. Indian, Mexican, and Irish are there. My Afro Amer. friend wasn't in the cafe the day we walked in asked everyone to come on the street and participate in the videol I think the people were great to do this! Drop the race card, no one cares about the pettiness anymore. We are Americans! The point of the video. Blessings, Joyce
Thank you so much! Very few catch on to the message like you have. That is EXACTLY the idea. Americans are Americans. As long as they can pit us against each other, we won't use our common sense to deny the mess they are trying to deal to the American people. We are the strongest nation in the world, it's not by accident. Thank you for your service!! Blessings, Joyce
retired military here and I agree with your message here.Our Americans heroes,no matter what shade, just see Red,White and Blue. God bless our troops.
I love your name, by the way. Colorblind is seeing us all as just Americans. The same result as you said only expressed differently. Isn't it wonderful to not sort the carrots from the peas when you have a wonderful stew? It's all stew. Good for us and nourishing. Yes, we all have a value! Absolutely! Thank you for taking an interest. Blessings, Joyce :-)
I don't think America should be colorblind, and yes, I know what you are thinking, "what a racist ass!" but being colorblind means looking at the world from the view that race doens't exist- and that the racism no longer exists (which is very far from the truth.) We shouldn't be colorblind, we should see all the colors and accept and celebrate them for what they are, not homognize them into "colorblindness'- Instead of ignoring our differences, we should acknowledge that every race has vaule.
Thank you, Tim! I do appreciate your patriotism and kind words!!! Please tell all your friends and family and share it with others. I have a Joyce Shaffer Fan Page on FB, if you are interested. Also, check out my website joyceusa.net . Lots of cool stuff is
@wb7cyo You have got the message!!!! There are some who can't understand what is being said in this song. Thank you for letting me know you understand and agree. WE ARE AMERICANS, PERIOD!! Those who want to divide us are doing it to gain power over us as a Nation. Don't fall for the old "divide and conquer" line, folks! Thank you for your patriotism!! Blessings, Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 It's those like you that I continue to serve my country (U.S. Army) and am ready to lay down my life to preserve. Please continue the great support and know that even though you may not be in the fire fight you are fueling the fire that make our great country shine so bright. God bless and thank you for the support.
Still one of my fave's Joyce, I come back often to listen to it. Talked about your music with my mom (Dawn) today, you're a hit up in her area of the woods. Keep singing and God bless. ~Tiffany
@tifpb Hey, Tiffany! What are you up to these days? It's cold here and it's almost time for the woodstove to be started up. Sure miss your mom, wish she was here, but know she likes where they are, too. Check out the new 12 song album, can find it on my site or Joyce Shaffer Fan Page, as well. Wish all America could hear the powerful messages in the music! Blessings, ME
@loukahn99 You are so sweet! Are you from 90%black? Who cares???We live where we live! I've told you three times what the song is about and you can't grasp it, so you have my sympathy. I have sang the song all over the USA. Are you telling me folks in Harlem or the SO.Side don't want more honesty, undemanding, opportunities? Betcha' they are mad at you!! You picture them as racist, shame on youl The racist card is outdated. Get new mat's. Blessings, Joyce
Doesn't sound very colorblind to me, Joyce. Your explanation is ALL about color, with White being the color of of those who truly care for the USA as a nation.l Afraid of the dark, Joyce?
@OccamsAxe Sorry, I can't help you out ,my friend, If you want a fuss, you will have to look someone else up. Being colorblind means you don't see the color we have chosen for ourselves. I love dark, makes me look slimmer. Do we move forward as a Nation or fuss because someone has too much time on their hands? I could use your help at the farm. Blessings, Joyce
Joyce, you say that the song isn't about color of skin, but it IS called "America is Colorblind." Sounds a little disingenuous to most people who aren't drunk. If America were really colorblind, you wouldn't need to say so!
@OccamsAxe Color can refer to dark sense of loss of values, red for rage of a torn Nation, yellow for those who prefer to close their eyes and live with "whatever" or white for those who truly care for the USA as a nation. We each choose our "color" in values, HOWEVER, we all need each other and have a place in this world. Try putting that in a song. I think I did pretty well.......... Don't fuss because flies don't walk and fly instead.. Blessings, Joyce
@redscadillacranch Thank you so much! Patriotism and values are what make us strong and both are on the "upswing"! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! November is just the beginning. America is going to be freed from tyranny AGAIN!!!!! Blessings, Joyce
America is Color Blind and America is Religion Blind too!!!
Dont let Sarah Palin stir up hate in your heart making you want to burn a Koran or a Mosque. She is just playing you for a vote!!! Dont let Jan Brewer tell you that immigrants need to be in jail because they are committting behadings. She has since admitted that no beheadings have occured. Besides she is tied to the prison industry, so of course she wants to turn all immigrants into prisoners! Dont get played for a vote!!!
@loukahn99 Take an aspirin and call me in the morning! The music is about uniting and not colors of skin. You don't have enough info to make a rational decision, so find the info before you regret your closed eyes. Blessings, Joyce
Respond to this video...The beheading has occurred. Go to AZ and spend some time on the border!!!! That will change your tune and fast!!! Put you money where your mouth is. Hope your feet can run as fast as your mouth. You will need them! Blessings, joyce
@RezzAlvarez Sorry, if you don't have the vocabulary to speak decently, I will be deleting your comments. Family reads these comments. Blessings, Joyce
@OccamsAxe Didn't you hear me say this isn't about race??? I didn't say we don't have balck or brown where we live. We have all colors, but we don't worry about your color, just your heart. It must be a foreign idea to you, cause this is the third time I have told you. Trust me. Come see for yourself! Would I be safe as a white in your town? Blessings, Me
@OccamsAxe I didn't say there are no black or brown where I live. The song isn't about race. Values and unity is the message. Folks are so uptight about race, and I happen to think we all need skinned, so we can get over the ridiculous skin color thing. Are we not all plain folks?????? Criminanny! Blessings, Joyce
@OccamsAxe For some reason YT is posting your comment 2, so I delete one. "Easy"? Does color create problems? We are to be blind to differences that keep us from enjoying each as JUST AMERICANS. Can't folks get over it and live together for the good of us all??? Skin us and see if you can tell who was what color........gee whiz! Sorry for whatever is eating at you. Pray about it. Blessings, Joyce
@OccamsAxe No.1 it isn't about race, listen again. View the scene where folks are standing on the street holding big letters that spell out AMERICA! These folks walked out of a cafe from their meals to do the video. We have very few Afro-Americans in our area and involved Mexican, Amer.Indian and missionary from the Phillipenes in the video. We use Americans who cares what color? Racists? I think they are the only ones who would care. Blessings, Joyce
@OccamsAxe No apologizes from this camp for being white. Don't ask anyone to apologize for their color. None of us can control that. Let's worry about values and things we CAN do something about. Sound okay? Blessings, ME
Another fantasticcccccc song you've written here Joyce! Excellent, I love your lyrics and singing! So glad to have found you here :o) I've added your songs to a playlist I created called Original artists and music All should hear!
@SurprizedDaily Thank you so much for the kind words and patriotism! Blessings to you and I hope you will help us vote the out in Nov. and 2012! Blessings,ME
@JoyceUSA1 - Hi Joyce, You're most welcome! As far as voting them out goes, the only real way to vote them All truly out that I see is for folks to WAKE Up that neither party is different! They're both just arms of the same beast! Real change can only happen when people Unite and vote out Both parties! Vote IN Independents! Show the 2 headed beast, WE mean business! That or non-compliance are the only 2 ways I see of defeating them, at their very games! I cannot vote, thanks to the "system"
@whiskeyfoxpix Blessings to you and yours! I love it too, it is my favorite. Some folks think it is about skin color, but is 100% the other way. People's attitude and mouth is what turns me off. Guess we all have one. Ha! I appreciate your good spirit and patriotism! Stay tuned for more to come. Have you seen "Hey,Calderon"? Blessings, Joyce
@KissMyAxxxe Citizens or illegals? Do you know of any country in the world that has NO border control???? Common sense will tell you there is issues to protect the citizens of that country, BUT we need to revise the procedure to become productive, proud U.S. citizens, also. Can't just throw open the barn door and expect everything to go well. Stand up for America! She stands for you. Blessings, Joyce
@KissMyAxxxe There is none. Act American and help make her strong. Obey the laws imposed on us all!!! I had to show my papers today to cash a check. The patrolman actually had enough nerve to ask to see my license and registeration just the other dAy. Insurance company wanted to see proof I live where I said, showed a utility bill to them. AND I AM A LEGAL CITIZEN. Should they fuss about it??? Makes them look silly to gripe. Blessings, Joyce
hello to all--- you can now hear all of Joyce music on WTCS radio Quincy florida.24/7 its on line and free WTCS SUPPORT JOYCE AND HER MUSIC Thanks for the music Joyce----Joyce will also be live on wtcs 7:30 pm (EST) 7/23/2010 Great music Joyce keep it up TJ McKay WTCS RADIO
@thomashand02 Thank you for the interview and kindness. I do appreciate your patriotism and willingness to play my music. Blessings to you and your folks. Joyve
Hello! I find it sad that instead of complimenting your talents of song writing and singing about the Nation we grew up in, that some people 'shout' racism because they only see 'White' in your video. They are the ones that keep racism alive. Why is it so hard for a simple group of AMERICANS to come together to honor their country without filling out a Ethnicity Card first? Keep up the good work, Joyce!
@madamequeen123 Thank you for the kind words, my dear! Actually the scene where we are holding letters spelling out "America" there is a missionary from Thialand, and American Indian, Mexican man and Canadian. Most of us are descendants of LEGAL immigrants. Proof that we can ALL be "just" red, white and blue AMERICANS. Thank you for your patriotism! Blessings, Joyce
@Prez2b2024 The song isn't about race, just the opposite, It is about not letting these things divide us anymore! If the divide us, they conquer us. Is that interesting to you? Also, check the scene on Main street where folks are holding letters spelling out "America". Thialand, Amer. Indian, Mexican and Canadian are in the shot. Not being singled out but they are AMERICANS! Blessings, Joyce
@Prez2b2024 If you haven't seen Blacks, Mexicans and Asians speaking and singing about American patriotics then you have closed yourself off from the world. I am sad for you. You will probably live in a world of hate forever.
I don't usually comment but after reading the ones on here I just cannot say Nothing. It is so obvious that you Joyce have a heart of America and I love all three of your songs and it sure does prove that "our" voices need to be heard. How ppl can listen to the words and then make all these negative comments shows they certainly are NOT what America is all about. To me ppl with a heart for America would not be offended so easily or try to cause discord; that is the opposite of what America is.
@hischild828 What discord? Telling the truth to wake folks up isn't discord. If you were about to drive into the river because the bridge is washed out, I would yank you from your car if necessary. I can give you first-aid later. So goes America. YOu are right, otherwise. I'm a fire breathing patriot. Did a USO show yesterday for troops. God bless them all. I'm so honored in their presence. Blessings,Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 WHOA!!!!! How did I come across to you like your response. I SAID "To me ppl with a heart for America would not be offended so easily or try to cause discord; that is the opposite of what America is." Meaning the negative comments that have appeared on here certainly do not show a heart for America. I do not see my other post about "our" shirts that I commented on. Please reread my post and hear my heart because somehow it came out OPPOSITE of what I was trying to say.
@hischild828 OOOOHHHH!!!! Sorry! I thought you meant I shouldn't get aggrevated with them for their comments. Must have been in the heat too long today, I apologize. I wasn't notified of another post - let me look. Thanks for cluing me in. I'm old and crazy sometimes! Blessings, Joyce :-)
@ElkSlayer59 ... I have the very same shirt that she is wearing and I live along ways from her "neck of the woods". I LOVE our Flag and Fly it gladly; I also wear pins, buttons, some of which were bought at the VA my husband goes to. When I saw the shirt I just had to have it; it represents "Ole Glory" and lets me wear it to remind others I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
@hischild828 I found the comment about the shirt! Isn't that amazing?? I bought my shirt in the local thrift store! I love it. One person tried to tell me it is illegal to have the shirt, thinking it actually was made from a flag. I would NEVER cut the flag for any reason! Ha-ha I told him it is "yardage" not a flag. Anyway, wear it proudly, I do!! Blessings, Joyce
@TheAmazingamerica You truly live up to your name!!! I am old enough and wise enough to know the govt. is pulling us against each other. If the can keep us fussing, they have us divided and they only have to "whip half as many into line". I will be thrilled when the majority realize this. We need to clean the White House with an overdue "spring cleaning". VOTE! Blessings,Joyce
Before your two songs were referred to me (America is Colorblind, Takin' back our Country), I had never heard of you before, but I think you're grand. Thanks for your patriotism - it's very much admired and appreciated by this old guy.
@juan563 Thank you, sir! I love America and am willing to take the comments of those who are sleeping, IF I can help most Americans to be encouraged to do what they know is right. VOTE THEM OUT! Have you checked out "American Soldier" video done for you? Same site area as the other 2 videos. Hope you like it! Blessings, Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 I've checked out, liked, and bought the mp3 recording of all three. I've never served, but your song dedicated to our troops is much appreciated. I worked on NASA programs at MIT and JPL while my time for serving was considered - I felt that was my contribution back to America. Have a good one, and keep up the good work for raising our spirits - important in these trying days.
I don't jump on any trains or wagons. I spent 21+ years activer duty defending my country, including a tour in Vietnam and two more in other Southeast Asian countries during the Vietnam war.
@ElkSlayer59 You definitely have my undying respect and gratitude. With all you have been through, don't understand why you aren't calling me and screaming" why are you doing more".....................Hmmmmm Blessings and thanx again for your service to all of us! Joyce
@ElkSlayer59 My wife and I have a flag that has an American Indian Cheif on his Paint horse with a feathered spear in his hand. It is beautiful. I would not give it up for anyone. We flew it on Memorial Day and on Independance Day. We fly the flag until it wears out. We are not American Indian. We are proud of the total history of our great nation. Our saddness is that our representatives we sent to Washington D. C. have betrayed us in massive collusion. Join us to keep freedom.
Does she realize it's a violation of US Flag Code (Federal law) to make articles of clothing from the US flag. I'd think a true patriot would know how to treat the flag.
@ElkSlayer59 Do you realize my shirt isn't a flag??? It is yardage of material and is perfectly legal. Of course, I know the proper treatment of Old Glory. Now, send a comment to someone who burns or flag or better yet, doesn't display it during his news conferences. Oh! You hadn't noticed???? Better jump on the train and help save the country. Blessings, Joyce
@ElkSlayer59 The key word is yardage. Does display patterns and colors but not identical design. Facsimile is the word. Thank you for finding something wrong and ignoring the message. I consider you a patriot. Thanks for noticing. Blessings, ME
@ElkSlayer59 ... I have the very same shirt that she is wearing and I live along ways from her "neck of the woods". I LOVE our Flag and Fly it gladly; I also wear pins, buttons, some of which were bought at the VA my husband goes to. When I saw the shirt I just had to have it; it represents "Ole Glory" and lets me wear it to remind others I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
@neelie3 I have a sampler cd of 3 songs and am working on a full cd to be out this fall. Check out joyceusa.net to purchase the partial. Thank you for your interest. Have 3 videos on YT. "American Soldier", "America Is Color Blind" and" Takin' Back Our Country". Blessings, Joyce
@MrDrSmithJr Sorry, I don't play the racist game!!! Worn out card and doesn't work with me. I won't apologize for lack of non-whites because I filmed with who was there. I live in Colo and don't have control of who lives there. Won't apologize again. Some of us won't apologize for nonsense ANYMORE! Don't like the video, watch something else. I'm standing for Americans, NOT races. Enough, sir! Blessings, Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 I'm sorry Joyce. I don't mean to be misunderstood, I was trying to make clear that the video was in fact not racist. And I didn't say I didn't like the video, in fact I think it's great that you made a video about something you believe in and made it to involve your community. And you certainly can't control who lives in your area. But the lack of any visual representation of the diversity found in America, despite being out of control, opens itself up
@MrDrSmithJr Is your real name Jesse Jackson and you demand two black people be present for every five white or brown people present? You could be another Obama academia wanting to run down America. People like you want to be notorious and feared for your words, but we got over that in elementary school.
Love it or leave it!!! Seems the only people crying racist are those who disregard laws, God and all that is good. It's time that more Joyces and Christians speak up for America. How many Mexicans or blacks died on our soil protecting our freedom? God bless Joyce
@ardards Thank you for your kind words. Many of many races have died for our America, that is why we ask ALL people to take a stand for America in her time of crisis. The Chinese own our country, does that bother anyone??? Blessings, Joyce
Section 8d. of the Flag Code states, "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free."
@MrDarrylR It isn't a flag. It is yardage of fabric from a bolt of material. I bet you'd gripe if you were hung with a new rope, MrDarrylR. God bless you. Joyce
@Mangina9000 Are you still seeing color???? I see Americans. My area isn't one some people have desired to move to. I don't worry about their skin, but their hearts! I don't single people out for any reason. You can't say that. You are the worst form of racism. You are angry and miserable. Don't try to drag me in on your little pity party. Hope you find some peace. Blessings, Joyce
@supafly345 Good for you! You aren't supposed to be looking for color, just Americans. Think and look outside the box. Look at the scene on the street with folks holding signs. Blessings, Joyce
I know a couple other people have pointed this out, but I can never get over people that brag about America's diversity and freedom as they show an endless parade of white people and Christian churches.
I'm gonna take a wild swing here and guess JoyceUSA1 doesn't cotton too kindly to gays, Muslims, or atheists, and while she may have nothing against black people in theory, she probably becomes visibly uncomfortable in the presence of black culture.
@LAVATORR Don't do your own thinking, LAVATORR. I only makes you look foolish. If you have nothing else to do, pick up dog poop in the park and help a neighbor. Blessings, Joyce
@LAVATORR Whether she does or doesn't that has no importance at all. There is diversity in this land and we Americans have the right to hate it or love it. Thats what this is all about. ;D think about what you're trying to argue before you comment anything.
@LAVATORR so you would be happier if she threw a few token brown or black people into the mix? I think it's inherently un-racist of her to just show what she knows, and that she's not giving a thought to color one way or the other. Only a racist would note the amount of white people verses another color. You only see it if you're looking for it. She probably just filmed the video of her neighbors and townspeople and that's what you see here. Why are you so fixated?

@candidnt Look at the video again. The song is about getting along. No seeking out a skin color to make fools happy. I wouldn't "dis" them like that, I don't want them to do it to me. Furthermore, if you apologize to me for being who or what you are, I will apologize for having nerve to be born white. You are too silly for words. Enjoy you life. Blessings, Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 Who's apologizing? I've never apologized for who I am. It looks to me like you're the one who's uncomfortable, replying to every single comment you get. Do you have nothing else to do with your life? Instead of scaremongering and denigrating a president just because he's black, you ought to spend time with your neighbors and children. Good luck to you.
@candidnt Ok, well if i were to make a video it probably would be predominantly hispanicpeople in it because i live in a hispanic neighborhood. It's more racist of you to think that just because she is white she has to be racist.
I heard your song for the first time today and I loved it. We need more like this one maybe some of our young people could learn what OUR USA is all about.
@ez4john Thank you! You have got the message! Our youth don't know how good it can be. Still they won't listen, guess they will learn the hard way, hope they survive........ Check out cdbabyfor more music. Blessings, Joyce Be sure to help vote the bums out!
@zfore2328 Well I hope not seeing how I have no problems with the Mexicans. They are not stealing billions and trafficking human organs. (Isaac Rosembaum) And you can't say everyone does it because that gang of rabbis is the only documented case in U.S. history.
@AxisSalley There really isn't some huge Zionist conspiracy going on... I'm all for Israel getting out of Palestine. The whole "New York Jew" sending all their money to Israel thing was a little too far. That shouldn't be boiled down to a race issue because soon after that you'll be blaming blacks for something as wild as chicken shortages. It's elitism based on race that creates hatred. I'm 17 years old and in my conspiracy ridden immaturity, I even know how to base assumptions.
How much have you researched? I am a Jewologist I have studied them for years. Why would I blame blacks for something, I don't look to blame anyone unless they actually did something. ? Look it up yourself kid. 9 out of 10 Wall st scams involves Xews. It is what it is. They're a different breed of people. They can be born here but their loyalties lie with Xsrael. Blacks and whites can't steal billions and run to Xsrael. Wake up kid you fell for the brainwashing.
Who is Joyce Shaffer - stage name or do you have a history? Do you believe this stuff you sing, or are you another opportunist a la Sarah P.? Nice song, a little heavy on the reverb; would be nice to hear the real you sometime.
@duhstar2 Joyce is a grandmother, wife, ranch-hand, God fearing person. She has lost parents, 6 sisters, 1 brother and her only daughter, all tragically. Her faith keeps her on the right side of the grass. She loves God, Country,family, friends and some polite strangers. Her service to her country is her music. New cd released this summer. Blessings, Joyce
@NYPrettyKitty Thank you for the kind words. I'm finding more like me everyday. It has the left nervous. Come join the ranks. We aren't about color, but they would like to believe it , they're running out of excuses! We are removing corrupt politicians for the good of us all. Can't say that about the other side. Angry folks! Check out CDBaby and ITunes for more music. Full cd on the way! Blessings, joyce
@choochootrains1942 Check out CDBaby and ITunes! I have a full album coming soon. The songs are written, we just have to record. Ken Dravis of Aspen Leaf Studios is my music man and darn good at it! Kudos to Ken and John (PR)! We love America! Blessings, Joyce
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment! Am beginning a full cd soon, stay tuned! In the mean time.....talk to all you know and let's vote wisely this Nov. Blessings, Joyce
@aladywriter Thank you so much! More music on CDBaby and ITunes. I am going to do all I can to encourage America to put feet on the street and a wise vote in the box! Blessings, Joyce
@phxson1956 Thank you so much for the comments! Check out CdBaby and ITunes for more music. Get involved where you live and help vote these bums out! Blessings, Joyce
@usa1bruce Thank you for your message and kindness. We all must pull together for our country. Thank you for your strong stand and respect for God. Blessings , Joyce
@stveide1 Thank you for every thing! Our song is #1 on the CDBaby charts, so who says America isn't ready for a positive move?! HA! We are gonna' take this Country back. Hide and watch! Better, yet. Get involved. Talk to anyone who will listen, pass the message on the video. Join a TP and make your feet on the street count. AMERICA, WE CAN'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT, THIS IS OUR JOB. GET 'ER DONE! Blessings, Joyce
@stveide1 Yes, he does! Many of us have them pegged! NOW, are we going to show up at thepolls in large numbers and show them we mean business?? I AM! Blessings,Joyce
@johnnyleeclary Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I'm glad you got all the items in proper order. GOD being first! He is our only hope for anything. I think America is starting to see that! Thank you for writing. Blessings, Joyce
@donpendry From the mouths of the elderly comes wisdom! Experience a closer encounter with the govt. GO TO THE POST OFFICE TO MAIL A PKG WITH THE "WRONG" TAPE ON IT!!! Wear your hoop jumping shoes! Blessings, ME
@donpendry I know America still cares, but the time to SHOW it is NOW! We must vote and make the change in America we need, for honesty and accountability from our politicians to the people! Blessings, ME
@bkrobertson910 Great! I'm happy to hear it. Stand tough in the town you live in and let it spread to every level until the Feds get the message from ALL of us! They need to be accountable to US who scrape up the money the spend so carelessly! Who isn't tired of it? Both parties are GUILTY of this. STAND UP AMERICA! Let's return to some solid values. Blessings, Joyce
I like the quote: "Insanity" "The act of doing the same thing over and over expecting a different out come." So if we keep electing democrats and republicans to office who is insane? It's time to elect an "American" not a "Party" to represent the people.
@akracer1 Right on, my friend! Vote wisely and make them accountable to the people AGAIN! It's been a long time coming! Thanks for being a Patriot! Blessings, Joyce
@donpendry I appreciate you commander! Thank you for your service. You swore to uphold the Constitution and even if it is against those in our own Govt.! I was too dangerous to go to Afghanistan, so I serve with my music. There's nothing more scary than a hormonal woman, you know! I think we should do the fighting and leave the youngsters home! Ha! Blessings, Joyce
@gregoryjones123 Thanx for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the music and I hope you remember the message when you go to the polls in Nov.! We have to VOTE THEM OUT and KEEP THEM OUT! I used to live in Globe, so have visited Phoenix a lot. I think it is a great city! Blessings, Joyce
@ilikeguns1000 No, but some of my best friends ar Mormons. Shaffer is a German name and for whatever reason, our ancestors changed the spelling after they arrived in America. Don't know the whole story........I attend a "cowboy church" in the local salebarn. Wonderful group! How about you? Blessings, ME
the tea party should do the right thing get the hell away from the neo cons. tell palin she is not welcome anymore tell the republican party to back the fuck off you want your country back you take it back by one bullet at a time or by a 3rd party because dem or republican will not save us. they the top have us fighting each other over stupid issues when no one speaking what needs to be said
@gonzo361 Watch you language, there are children present. You are frustrated like most of us are! No bullets, that is just what they want so they can label us and declare Marshal Law. Don't fall for it! We can do it a vote at a time, but you and I are going to be responsible for spreading encouragement that it CAN be done! Talk to all who will listen and vote wisely. Blessings, Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 i apologize for my earlier out burst by the way rude of me not to address you song i did it a thumbs up great song. but joyce how would fix a debt that can never be repaid and im not talking about obama healthcare i mean the debt we have enslaved ourselves to the federal reserve. what is the point to continue this red and blue koolaid when neither side will ever willing give up federal power
@gonzo361 We can't cure the problem all at once, but we do have to establish some common, solid ground on which to take a stand. The return of honesty, patiotism, respect for other, etc. has to be in our own lives so it will rub off on others. Return to God whom this nation is built on. Vote wisely, Talk to others and help them see. We have our work cut out, but worth it. Blessings, Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 once again no party will end the federal reserve the only side that wants to end the fed is the libertarian party and rightfully so the fed must be stopped for every dollar that is distributed among the people we are charge intrest on top of the dollar. the US treasury has the power to make our own dollar yet it doesnt instead they are use to pay back the international bankers. this debt has been buildn since 1913 we can only restore our currency by returning to a gold standerd.
@gonzo361 I am all for the gold standard. I also know we jump the track way back and it has gotten to the point we have to start somewhere. I hope you are with us. It may be baby steps, but we have to walk sooner or later if we don't want to be crippled by all of this. Blessings,Joyce
@JoyceUSA1 i am not fully with the christian conservatives i am more with the libertarians. we share commen ground that overgrown government becomes corrupt government and steals individuals and state rights but we do not share the sentiment that we must have laws that tell society they can not do such because of one group view on morality or sin. i do not want oppress by governent and i would not society oppress by a monarchy either
Look in the scene where we are holding letters us spelling out "America". Canadian, Amer. Indian, Mexican, and Irish are there. My Afro Amer. friend wasn't in the cafe the day we walked in asked everyone to come on the street and participate in the videol I think the people were great to do this! Drop the race card, no one cares about the pettiness anymore. We are Americans! The point of the video. Blessings, Joyce

I don't think America should be colorblind, and yes, I know what you are thinking, "what a racist ass!" but being colorblind means looking at the world from the view that race doens't exist- and that the racism no longer exists (which is very far from the truth.) We shouldn't be colorblind, we should see all the colors and accept and celebrate them for what they are, not homognize them into "colorblindness'- Instead of ignoring our differences, we should acknowledge that every race has vaule.

@OccamsAxe Color can refer to dark sense of loss of values, red for rage of a torn Nation, yellow for those who prefer to close their eyes and live with "whatever" or white for those who truly care for the USA as a nation. We each choose our "color" in values, HOWEVER, we all need each other and have a place in this world. Try putting that in a song. I think I did pretty well..........

@candidnt Look at the video again. The song is about getting along. No seeking out a skin color to make fools happy. I wouldn't "dis" them like that, I don't want them to do it to me. Furthermore, if you apologize to me for being who or what you are, I will apologize for having nerve to be born white. You are too silly for words. Enjoy you life. Blessings, Joyce

@JoyceUSA1 Who's apologizing? I've never apologized for who I am. It looks to me like you're the one who's uncomfortable, replying to every single comment you get. Do you have nothing else to do with your life? Instead of scaremongering and denigrating a president just because he's black, you ought to spend time with your neighbors and children. Good luck to you.

@candidnt Ok, well if i were to make a video it probably would be predominantly hispanicpeople in it because i live in a hispanic neighborhood. It's more racist of you to think that just because she is white she has to be racist.

@AxisSalley There really isn't some huge Zionist conspiracy going on... I'm all for Israel getting out of Palestine. The whole "New York Jew" sending all their money to Israel thing was a little too far. That shouldn't be boiled down to a race issue because soon after that you'll be blaming blacks for something as wild as chicken shortages. It's elitism based on race that creates hatred. I'm 17 years old and in my conspiracy ridden immaturity, I even know how to base assumptions.

@zfore2328
How much have you researched? I am a Jewologist I have studied them for years. Why would I blame blacks for something, I don't look to blame anyone unless they actually did something. ? Look it up yourself kid. 9 out of 10 Wall st scams involves Xews. It is what it is. They're a different breed of people. They can be born here but their loyalties lie with Xsrael. Blacks and whites can't steal billions and run to Xsrael. Wake up kid you fell for the brainwashing.

Who is Joyce Shaffer - stage name or do you have a history? Do you believe this stuff you sing, or are you another opportunist a la Sarah P.? Nice song, a little heavy on the reverb; would be nice to hear the real you sometime.

Thanks Joyce and the band. I totally agree.
I like the quote: "Insanity" "The act of doing the same thing over and over expecting a different out come." So if we keep electing democrats and republicans to office who is insane? It's time to elect an "American" not a "Party" to represent the people.

@JoyceUSA1 i apologize for my earlier out burst by the way rude of me not to address you song i did it a thumbs up great song. but joyce how would fix a debt that can never be repaid and im not talking about obama healthcare i mean the debt we have enslaved ourselves to the federal reserve. what is the point to continue this red and blue koolaid when neither side will ever willing give up federal power
gonzo361 1 year ago
@gonzo361 We can't cure the problem all at once, but we do have to establish some common, solid ground on which to take a stand. The return of honesty, patiotism, respect for other, etc. has to be in our own lives so it will rub off on others. Return to God whom this nation is built on. Vote wisely, Talk to others and help them see. We have our work cut out, but worth it. Blessings, Joyce
JoyceUSA1 1 year ago
@JoyceUSA1 once again no party will end the federal reserve the only side that wants to end the fed is the libertarian party and rightfully so the fed must be stopped for every dollar that is distributed among the people we are charge intrest on top of the dollar. the US treasury has the power to make our own dollar yet it doesnt instead they are use to pay back the international bankers. this debt has been buildn since 1913 we can only restore our currency by returning to a gold standerd.

@JoyceUSA1 i am not fully with the christian conservatives i am more with the libertarians. we share commen ground that overgrown government becomes corrupt government and steals individuals and state rights but we do not share the sentiment that we must have laws that tell society they can not do such because of one group view on morality or sin. i do not want oppress by governent and i would not society oppress by a monarchy either
