America, the Beautiful

[SamuraiClinton]

John Wayne rules, I just had to pay tribute to 9/11 as well, so I made a video.

Thanks for psoting this. I've loved it for years and decided to hunt it for Independence Day. Don't let haters get to you. They can like America or leave it and go live in Afganistan or Russia.

[beazgod]

Thanks, they don't get to me, they just show their ignorance.

[olaspjet99]

in the end, it just takes ignorant individuals to wreck it all like this biarch [beazgod] here - that - is mutual from the only mouth he talks from, his behind.

[beazgod]

You are one sad, idiot who does not deserve freedom. Nice job Hitler.

[jburnha]

All I see in this video is the portrayal of an ideology that allows you to care only about YOUR freedom and NOT your neighbors, or gives you the ability to think that you have the authority to spread a 'system of politics' that YOU think works (perhaps its does for your culture).

[beazgod]

My freedom is not applicable to my neighbor. It becomes a problem when people infringe on others rights. My neighbors freedom is their business until it imposes onto me. Freedom is not a "system of politics", that would be democracy, republics, socialism, and communism. Freedom is a state of mind that evidently you cannot grasp. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[jburnha]

America's problem is not the war, its not the politics, its not even the economic system; the problem is the instituationally reinforced and systematically maintained ideology of the "American Dream", which keeps every American thinking that Freedom is the 'right to self-success', as opposed to the 'right to self-responsibility'... if you want it in a Christian presentation: "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you".

Think about it.

[beazgod]

Its called capitalism.  Its better than enabling people to mooch off the hard work of others.

[deanimator]

LMFAO. Born and raised a conservative - I just wasn't brainwashed to follow the extremists.

[beazgod]

I wasn't born and raised conservative, in fact there are many area I would be labeled liberal. Common sense took over and I see through the brainwashing on all sides.

[deanimator]

The comment "LMFAO. Born and raised a conservative - I just wasn't brainwashed to follow the extremists." WAS NOT posted by me.

I guess someone has hacked my account. When this message was posted I was on a bike ride in the rain in Germany. The phrases & style used here are not really typical of me either.

Sorry to beazgod for any confusion...I´ve notified Youtube to have this investigated.

I´m not even American - so there´s no need for me to comment on this video as it´s not relevant to me.

[imogapils]

Pathetic propaganda. Always looking to the nation's past (however great America's past may be), whilst dooming your country by your unquesetioning support for your cynical leaders screwing your country to oblivion in the name of personal (and corporate) gain.

[beazgod]

How the fuck is this propaganda? Being proud of our country is all in perception, you obviously have never had your freedom endangered and have no clue what's happening in the real world. I fail to see how this video implies that I fail to question leadership, you are an idiot.

[imogapils]

It doesn't. Your other posts show you're following Bush et al into the ditch. The real irony is your freedom is much more endangered by your own government (think Habeas Corpus, torture, phone tapping without permission) than it is by Bin Laden and co. My point about your country is that you seem to be so in love with its past that you forget the bad predicament it's in now. (not from terrorists, from your govt.)

[beazgod]

That just shows your ignorance. MY freedom will NEVER be in question BECAUSE we are willing to die to protect it. Whether it be from any enemy, foreign or domestic. That is the difference and the heart of the American spirit. Your suggestion that I follow Bush is backwards, Bush follows the will of the people or he gets removed. Now go back to your socialist lifestyle.

[imogapils]

MY ignorance???? Because I'm too cynical to believe a puppet President like Bush, when he has evil pricks like Cheney behind him?

 Answer this: if Bush "follows the will of the people", why is he not changing his policy in Iraq? That was the central issue of the midterm election, according to Bush himself. If you're so big on your so-called 'freedom', you should be against Bush's freedom-eroding measures. You need to read 1984 budddy.

[beazgod]

I'm not, nor will ever be "your buddy" I don't associate with communists. You just worry about your country. Bush is speading freedom, take notes, and you may learn something.

[jburnha]

Propaganda is any attempt to propagate (spread or share) a set of beliefs or ideas... so yes, your video is propaganda. Why does your video hide all of the poverty in America, the system of credit that dooms the majority if Americans, the classrooms that don't have books, the subjugated beatings, or the extreme economic/class divisions?

[beazgod]

Because I'm not a pessimist, you infantile prick. Why someone loves their country is their business. I made a video about it. I could have just as easily made one about all the bad things in America, Michael Moore, high taxes, illegal immigration, etc... Oh by the way, on that last one, if we are such a terrible counrty, why are so many trying to get in? Your pessimistic attitude is more suited to communism.

[sqweezel]

@jburnha You moron. We don't need any brain dead lectures from you typical whining liberal scumbag. Sounds like you fell for Obamas bullshit like so may others,

[jburnha]

@sqweezel Actually I wrote in for Ron Paul, as I supported his campaign throughout (although I was disappointed about Hilary's loss in the primaries). ...I lived in Illinois when Obama was in the state senate, and then the congress, and have always seen him as a two-faced, smooth-talker with little-to-no credibility. Cheers and thanks

[longbow1415]

I dont always agree with what you want or do but, as an Englishman i would much rather be a friend to you Yanks than these bloody Europeans. USA / England Allies till the end.

[beazgod]

The feeling is mutual.
