[effects69]

yet another fantastic song with a fantastic message :) The recording quality is great!

[ParadiseEarth1]

"note*(opinions of conkling don't necessarily reflect the opinions of his other multiple personalities....)"

Heh heh heh nice to see some humour though the message stays the same... Great tune as usual, take care General:^)*****

[SAIKOPAINT]

its wonderful how you speak out! well done!!

[PuppyZwolle]

Hope?

You sing, you 'vid', you speak out, you act.

That is a hell of a lot more than just hope.

I hope your future will be what you wish it to be.

[daligoddess2006]

What is the title of the song? Is it, 2012 Consciousness Awakening or That Broken Winged Angel Called Democracy? Anyway, I just love this tune. I am going to send it to all my friends and I hope they don't get mad at me 'cause I can't remember if I already sent it yesterday. Ha!

[mindfulmusic78]

Hi Ralph. I haven't been around much lately. I was ill for several months. I just saw this today when I was cleaning out my inbox, Oh Ralph! I LOVE this song. What a catchy tune. I was clapping and singing along in .30 seconds! And I don't even know the words! Hahahaha! I am going to feature this on my channel. I really love it!

[GREATHUNS]

Excellent

[soaringman]

I love you

[SCOOTERBALLUSA]

We will come together to hang the criminals who hijacked Our American Values.

Hope is the Deep Man Made Gulge where 30 million baby boomers will be buried.

ts time to shut the Traitor Machine Down.

If the Baby Boomer don't see this coming Its The Writing is on the Wall.

Your Video I believe is too Late.....

Notice the Police Presence on your streets lately........

As if they got better things to do then to give speeders tickets going to work on $4.00 a gallon fuel don't rack somebody's brains.

[SuicideFriendly]

Well we can only go up from here.

[tps607]

Hey Ralph,nice song...a bit reminiscent of Country Joe!

[Quetzie21]

Came back for another listen..sounding good and hopeful, keeping fingers and toes crossed , but I think its gonna take more than just another president to turn things around...i think its up to us folks, to take back the government, and NOT through violence, through "peaceful resistance." It has been done before....Thank you Conk!!!

[Rainbojangles]

Absolutely!

[P3rf3ctStorm]

Ron Paul just took 16% of the Primary vote in Pennsylvania (and of course even more delegates). This is the highest percentage vote yet in any State Primary. Don't give up on him yet Conk. He's still in the Presidential race ya know

...and he's catchin' on I'm tellin' ya!

[PatongTed]

I dig this Ralph! Its in your face truth! Great work my friend! Peace and Happiness to You Always!~Ted

[ruru11773]

[suuzzee5]

One of the most positive songs for peace and freedom that I've ever heard! You've delivered a tune that's catchy and humorous in spots ... and your video is wonderful!

[TadpoleAngel345]

I'm going to vote for the person who understands that we - as divine beings are ultimately Free - no matter what bogus rules and regulations are passed.

[fingercheese]

Hope is a powerful message indeed....peace...lets hope....

[prosepp]

its good you´re singing on hope !!

Thank you !

[jperryam]

5 stars, Ralph. Gotta have hope. Without it we're...well, hopeless. MY hope is for radical change in the way we elect people to public office, and the way they conduct themselves while in office. Pretty amazing that trying to bring about government that functions the way it was supposed to originally would seem radical, huh? People say "It will never happen. Gotta settle for the lesser of two evils." Which, of course, is still evil. And unacceptable, and makes those people part of the problem.

[dottyjay]

great protest vignette & so timely...kinda humorous also thanx hey everone vote & be sure.......

[Orwellsbud]

Great video, great song. 5 stars

[rageunderground]

great work my friend. although our works are different in media, i am like you i have nothing in my head for ages, then i am watching tv. and bang.. something spontaneously inspires the next piece, unfortunately its the fucked up things that are going on.

keep up the great work

Respect!

[guitmartiman]

Peace yes, but not at the cost of freedom.

[conkling]

the damage done by the 'patriot act' may well be irreversible.... we have lost our basic rights already. It would seem that the ridiculous squabbling by the candidates and the circus of the media is doing a marvelous job of keeping the public distracted with this entertainment of election coverage. Meanwhile the chess pieces are being strategically moved behind the scenes....by the real players. By those whose names we are not meant to know.

peace guitmartiman

[guitmartiman]

I am in basic agreement with you, though I don't believe there is a political solution. It doesn't matter who's elected president. Our freedoms are rapidly vanishing and the powers that be will make sure that whoever is elected will go along with the program or else... The only valid war to be fighting right now is the war in our mind. Will we submit to losing our freedoms, or will we rather die than fall in line (and I'm not advocating taking up arms). Obedience to God is the only true freedom.

[jdlasica]

Good job. Hopefully your fellow Ron Paul supporters will also see the light. :~)

[Djunisijevic]

Good one as allways!

[triondan]

"it just brings out those veins in the forehead" i wondered what caused this? And Now I know the Rest of the STory! not...lol

I also HOPE that Obama, should he be the big man in that there white house, can follow thru with the HOpes/DreaMs of the american people, for crying out loud we need a break, the World needs a break. your note* of course made me laugh bro!Loved it!the honesty of self!

5*'s, no doubt here! faith hope LOVE/peace

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. -Anne Frank

[desire4liberation]

yep... HOPE... where would we be without it? We must never give up, and you Mr Buckley... you sure feed my spirit !

I will not vote for any of them, each one of them has been hand picked for us to choose from, not my idea of democracy.

And without paper ballots which ever one "the decider's" choose will win :( yet something tells me an election won't be an issue come november.

Let's pray for good to raise the vibrations of love during the upcoming solstice when evil will rear it's ugly head :)

[DomBianco]

Now theres a song with meaning, Sen Mccaine and hillary are both lame and HOPE they do not get into the white house otherwise this country is doomed, we may all be singing for our next meal for sure.

[karaokeoriginal1s]

So very creative!! Fantasico Ralpho*****

Cool Video too!

Did I miss a stanza somewhere along the line Ralph? Last time I heard you live was on Ron Paul Revolution Radio. What happened between now and then? ObAMa? Oy

[75cliffe]

We will all be hoping with you; War is not the answer. I think we are all in the same boat hoping for a government who will put and end to all this stupidity and bloodshed!

[KobyBrandt]

Unfortunately, I sincerely believe Obama offers only false hope -- and a lot of political rhetoric. He talks the talk, but I don't think he'll walk the walk. He's not offering solutions to the FUNDAMENTAL problems that plague this Country. Only Ron Paul has done that. After traveling to Washington and meeting him on April 15th, I'm even more convinced he's the only candidate still in the race that offers REAL hope, a REAL understanding of the core problems, and REAL solutions to those problems.

[KobyBrandt]

Therefore, I'll still be casting my vote for Ron Paul this November.

Btw, cool song Ralph.

[conkling]

hi koby...I'm afraid you're more right then wrong. Actually I thought Ron Paul had dropped out. (in fact I heard him say has much-perhaps u know something that i don't)...He had raised so much money and hope so quickly...I thought 4 sure that he would at least be running as an independent...it's disappointing.

So now it's again the 'lesser of 2/3 evils...'

cheers 2 u koby....always a pleasure

[iTellYouNoLie]

he didn't drop out, and he never ruled out 3rd party, some states require signatures for a third party run, but some will allow vote cast for him as signatures, thats why he continues to collect as many votes as he can.

[MGABBYB]

Nice...

[conkling]
