  • Who needs a communist party when you have the liberal Democrats doing the work for them?

  • I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. XD

  • Beautiful Voice, Very good song :)

  • Great Song! Great tune, lyrics, voice and compelling video. To the critics i say -you can't wake them up if they are not sleeping.

  • This lady was in the news because she was seen hiring illegal workers at home depot if u dont belive me look it up and I say for peple that follow her u guys are fools she is just trying to make money u guys are suckers big timel

  • @MrElloco1979 your an idiot. 

  • @4141440 thank you :)

  • This couple performed this song [and others] when the TEA Party Express came to our town. They were terrific and a fine time was had by all.

    I hope they do a lot more of these political songs.

  • They are not green...they are red.

  • It is so funny too, the left like to tought all this "green" bullshit and there is a company near our city that makes solar panels and was even endorsed by Obama and he made a visit, praising the company and even got government funding! Well, just last week the company is bankrupt, laid off 1000 employees, and is being investigated by the FBI for possible fraud! A true socialist company!

  • The Democrat Party of Thomas Jefferson is dead and has been replaced by the party of Karl Marx. The liberal Democrats do everything the old Soviet Union did, lie, deceive, fear mongering, steal, cheat, and every other con job in order to gain power!

  • This couple is SO COOL!

  • fantastic but so, so sad it's needed. Government education has destroyed us....It may end up being powder and lead that save us but hopefully it won't go that fat..God Bless America!....Americans destroy Communism!.....

  • Long Live Socialism!! We'll keep the red flag flying high and continue to support our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

  • Any half way intelligent person, with a simple but complete education thru high school, is aware that Socialism isn't working here now or anywhere else for that matter and thru out time has never worked. Intelligent educated philosophers have said 'when the people find out they can vote themselves money from the treasury they always bankrupt the economy allowing despotism to take it's place' defeating exactly what they were trying to accomplish!! Wake up America, vote against idiocracy! 

  • I'm 58yrs old and have seen many Choices ( freedom to choose ) taken away. Think about it. how many choices have you seen taken away. you have to wear a helmet to ride a bike or motorcycle. I do not smoke but those who do it is their choice. and sure a few smoke free zones but a whole town. If a bar wants smokers it should be their business choice. I can go on and on. if I want to buy a gas guzzler it should be my choice. If i want me house to be 75 degrees in the winter now it is my choice .

  • Such a truthful song! Now, if everyone could wake up to this fact! Anyone with me?

  • One of my favorites! Patriotism is still alive here in the USA in spite of all the morons posting on this thread!

  • The GOP has been wrong about everything up until now: trickle-do­wn theory, deregulati­on, preemptive wars. It's safe to assume they are wrong about Socialism as well. The only "bogey-man­" out there we should worry about is the big corporation­ns which uses the myth of Capitalism as a tool to their own benefit, and the publics detriment. Always

    good day uniformed!

  • @davidallenroth I was pretty much about to say the same thing. Thanks for doing it for me.

  • @davidallenroth Was the GOP wrong about getting rid of slavery, or passing the Civil Rights act? You know the Democrats used to hate Communism and Socialism like the GOP does today, look at JFK!

    BTW you are the uninformed one.

  • @ThatHaloGuy117

    when did the GOP get rid of slavery? lol the civil rights act was passed on LBJ , wtf are you talking about? JFK was in favor of universal healthcare and other social programs.........

  • @davidallenroth First off ending slavery was the reason the GOP was formed, Second the Civil Rights act was passed with heavy Republican support, Third off JFK was Hypocritical in in staying in favor of those yet he had a Huge government wide check for Communists and he did increase US involvement in the Vietnam war. If you still don't believe me then I know for sure that all Liberals are Ignorant and Hypocritical of every thing going on.

  • @ThatHaloGuy117

    not only heavy support...higher percentage than the Dems that were using water hoses and dogs on the protesters...

  • @paragtime You accidentally replied to my comment instead of the Communist's.

  • @ThatHaloGuy117 ..sorry

  • Respond to this video...  sorry.

  • @davidallenroth The Republicans were anti slavery since its establishment in 1856, When Lincoln (A Republican if you did not know) became President, The pro-slavery Southern Democrats succeeded from the Union and slavery ended when the South was Defeated. You need to know that the Democrats were pro-slavery, established Jim Crow laws, were for segregation and interned Japanese Americans during WWII.

  • Lol what a stupid song. Long live the USSA!

  • @SomeoneCrazy2 You must like mass genocide, Nazi

  • @ThatHaloGuy117 How does saying long live the USSA make me a Nazi??

  • @SomeoneCrazy2 It sure makes us wonder if you're an American.

  • @fatkinson2011 That's a whole different issue entirely.

  • @SomeoneCrazy2 So what?

  • @fatkinson1954 I stil don't get why that guy called me a Nazi.

  • @SomeoneCrazy2 I don't get why trolls say the things they do. I would answer that they believe themselves to be unintelligent and say things to get attention.

    Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

  • @fatkinson1954 Or they are just bored and want a laugh ;)

  • @SomeoneCrazy2 No. I think their purpose represents severe flaws within themselves. Regards,

  • @MrRitius United SOCIALIST States of America idiot, try listening to the song

  • fail

    

  • The words of this particular song are actually more relevant to privatization which is ironic. If a corporation owns something you have no say at all about how that particular thing is run. That's an abuse of people's freedoms. So privatizing should be done in moderation or then you'll have businessmen running countries and enslaving people making them work for small wages...That sound familiar to anyone???

  • @memsinan: Oops, made an error in that last comment to you. I did not mean "capitalism" I meant "communism" haha! It was like 1am, my mistake.

    I am well aware about privatization. We privatize healthcare here and its hell. Employees rarely give a health plan, and the other only option is paying out of pocket for a doctor visit or insurance its self. Both are ridiculously priced for low-medium income families like mine.

  • @Piercedpixie56 I think that's what Obama is really doing...making sure that families like yours get looked after without losing their life savings. That's what it's all about. Living like human beings were we all benefit by helping each other.

    (I understood the typing mistake not to worry. I sent my previous message three times....LOL)

    It's nice to talk to a person with some sense on this thing ( a rare occurrence)

  • @memsinan: Actually, even though the healthcare reform was voted in last year, nothing has happened since. We still dont have a government option of healthcare.

    My main issue with Obama is that he hasnt done much of anything for the sake of Palestine.

    Also, I have never met a turkish person. salam :D

  • @Piercedpixie56 well you have to understand that one man alone does not make the decisions. There is a lot of adversity within the government in the states since Obama won. It's not easy to implement bills when a lot of people are opposing you.

    I'm not really Turkish... My father is Turkish Cypriot and my mother is Irish. (quite a mix huh?)

  • @memsinan fuckin feudalism

  • LOL...Conservatives recanting history is so cute...

  • @MrRitius I think it was United Socialist Sates of America......Two different things......

  • Man the Russians scared the shit out of you guys during the 70's and 80's. If you asked a Russian now about the USA or American capitalism they dont really care...but you americans are still scared shitless of the "commie threat", "the russian nukes"...Its so funny I'm in stitches

  • @memsinan: its really pitiful. people are still scared of capitalism. And sadly, most dumbasses like this clown pair in the video think SOCIALISM = Communism. Jesus....*sigh*

  • @Piercedpixie56 I agree a lot of brilliant systems in Europe are based on socialist ideas were everyone benifits from state organized activities (like healthcare or education) and I'll give an example of a general effect of this: there is less crime in Europe than the US...obviously every system has its faults. (cont...)

  • @memsinan Dude, if Russia attacks and takes over, as long as Im in the USA, I will keep fighting them off until they go running back to their land,

  • What's funny is that you guys are already livng in that country you describe. And you have been doing so since Nixon. Socialism has verylittle to do with communism. Do you think England or Canada are communist countries? Of course not. But they are systems where socialism has a big role. This is a good thing. Example, you can walk into any hospital and be treated and no one will ask you for a social security number or health insurance...

  • @CzechDetectingChap: One would have assumed that a countryman of Vaclav Havel would be more appreciative of the likes of Republicans. Our two countries have "enjoyed" the benefits (whatever !) of the socailism and, trust me, my friend, socialism has no place anywhere in the world (China included). This poison of "liberty, equality, fraternity" is nothing but crap. People are born unequal, each having his/her ups and downs, why bringing all under one umbrella ? Get rid of the socialist president.

  • @Airman04061969 Are you afraid some bad boy is going to take away your money?.....Ahh, you poor little munchkin, have a sweetie

  • Pointless waste of time, your song makes me question the inelectual strength of this nation...

    nice use of the communist symbol on the socialist flag...that was a cleaver use of poor symbology

  • @DistractedSquirrels I believe we share the same views, however, I belive you were looking for the word "symbolism"...

  • lÕl_AÑy_gÛys_wÂÑt_tÕ_chãt_wîth­_mÈ

  • Terrific song, Kay & Ron!!!

  • The chick was wearing a cross........

    .looks like she is a christian...

    but why I can sense her hatred from miles away ?

  • FUBO and his red jihad!

  • Ron and Kay really rock!

    And their music is about our freedom.

  • Great song ! You all ROCK ! Socialism in AMERICA will NOT survive !!!

  • this honestly makes no sense whatsoever

  • @ioannisc Then I suggest you get an education.

  • Comment removed

  • @ioannisc You got nothing better to throw at us but verbal abuse? 

  • Comment removed

  • @fatkinson1954 I actually do have one, just not from the US - oh wait, yeah, I forgot, you don't know about anything outside your own country - oh well, I may as well just keep my opinions to myself then seeing as you, like, I wouldn't ever get it man

  • @ioannisc I've spent time in Australia, Canada, and Venezuela. And I have friends from other parts of the world.

    So don't think you are going to trump me on that one.

    What part of this doesn't make any sense to you? It's pretty clear. These are people who are tired of crime creeping into their southern border, having illegals come into the country and take jobs from Americans and resources from our economic system. They are tired of the crime and the problems created by this.

  • @fatkinson1954 WOW amazing, Aus and Canada, well done on your cultural diversity there bub - I'll give you Venezuela though, which as far as I can see is a 'socialist' state (under a budding autoritarian), and although there are similarities in the inequalities amongst the US and Venezuelan people, the US is far from making itself 'socialist' as this song attempts to portray. Anyway, what doesn't make any sense is trying to liken the US with the USSR and simplifying socialism to this one issue!

  • @ioannisc You are out of touch, aren't you? Government taking our money from us, spending us into oblivion, trying to control our health care, manage our lives, and take away our responsibility (nanny state)?

    What part of that don't you get?

    The liberals are going to crash and burn in the 2012 election because the people are simply fed up.

    We're not going to stand idly by and let the government continue to intrude into our lives.

  • @fatkinson1954 ok get the republicans back in - your country not mine

  • @ioannisc I believe that it was the Democrats that supported this. Suggest you read up.

  • @fatkinson1954 i was being sarcastic

  • @fatkinson1954 on top of this - what would have happened recently if your government (and that of China, a socialist state funnily enough) didn't bail all your banks out of the trouble that they got your economy in? Yeah let's just let the 'free' market rule

  • @ioannisc Then those banks would have gone under and we'd have started again. Bailing them out was a pretty stupid thing to do.

  • Comment removed

  • @fatkinson1954 oh please... you think the government would have spent trillions of dollars on something that wasn't unavoidable - oh wait that's true, you invaded Iraq... i take that back

  • @ioannisc Yes. They've already spent trillions of dollars that they didn't have to.

    

  • Comment removed

  • @ioannisc when your shit hole country puts their hands down for hand outs then you might have something to say..until then..STFU!

  • @smmsmh what hand outs? like the ones you got from China?

  • American conservatives are corporatist, not free marketeers.

    Corporatism =/= Capitalism

    Corporatism is an even more corrupt bastardization of socialism.

    It's safe to assume that both parties are freaking idiots.

    While I do consider my self an Anarcho-Capitalist, I absolutely hate it when economic illiterates use words like "socialism" and "communism" without knowing what they mean.

    Before you criticize socialism or allege someone is a socialist at least know what it is.

    Imbeciles.

  • @TrySuckingLess hey jack ass...socialism is NOT for the socialists..it is for the people! and secondly...where has socialism succeeded? oh NO WHERE!

  • @smmsmh Sweden actually, and most European countries have large elements of socialism integrated into their political systems, countries like Sweden, Germany, England, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, etc, etc,

  • @TrySuckingLess Hear hear

  • @akropiss do you know why in america the rich earn billions? because they had an idea or worked hard to get there. sure there are flaws in the system, but there are flaws in any system. and why should somebody who works three hours a week a one job earn the same amount as somebody who works three jobs? is that fair? read Harrison Bergeron by kurt vonnegut which explains in allegories why capitilism is favored over socialist systems. (and dont you wish you had a voice in YOUR government)

  • You all are still my FAVORITE!!!

  • to hell with distribution of wealth and the democratic government!!!!!! wtg RR!!!!!!!! another awesome song!

  • It's so funny to see retarded Yanks repeating what they hear on Fox News while the corporations that run Fox completely fuck the Americans who watch (worship) it over. HAHAHA!

  • @SvalbardJanMayen1976 You appear quite happy.

    I guess Ignorance really is Bliss.

  • @akropiss and also, all the economic systems you named are based on the same principals of bringing everybody down to be equal, disincentives to work hard, and conforming to the ideas of one leader

  • @akropiss i dont know what part of cuba you went to because the whole country is a shit hole. people are starving and driving US cars from the 1950's. and just because you are allowed to go to cuba and you can throw around a few history terms doesn't men you are some historical or economics expert

  • @akropiss so was nazi germany, the soviet union, and now cuba and north korea! they seem pretty happy

    DUMBSHIT

  • I'm from Norway, socialist through and through, highest GDP in the world, one of the highest standards of living as well. This bitch Kay Rivoli has never been overseas, enought said.

  • @SvalbardJanMayen1976 you also have 35,000 of oil rev per person in the north sea with out it you would be broke in 1 week

  • Comment removed

  • couple of drama queens

  • @welhungjohnson yes they are...but i think their videos are hilarious!

  • hahaah yall suck!!!!!!!!!!! USA is so far from being a Socialist Country that it would take so much action to push it even to Social Democratic like Sweden and Some other nations. Which aren't even Socialist Either. The Tea party statements are so stupid. and rediculous that they are what they say the socialist are.

    For example Gleen Beck he says that Socialist think that yall people are stupid and that we are better of controling the nation!!!!

    NOW tell ME WHO is BRAINWASHING WHO.

  • @WorldDebater America is far from being a socialist country for now...but the reason it is that way is because we know where we stand and we're paying attention. Communists, Social Democrats and miscellaneous Marxists of all stripes have been trying to import socialism into North America for the better part of a century. Majority opinion has been enough to stop it until the last 20 years or so, but majority opinion seems to be irrelevant these days.

  • THere was a bit at the start that was good, the bit with the radio.

  • Could someone tell me why capitalism is better than socialism. And whats so bad about communism.

  • @analseppo Capitalism is about private ownership where Socialism/Communism is about sociapathic control freaks owning everything and then rationing as little as possible to the plebes.

    Hope that helps.

  • @WorldlyMrB Dude you should really look up what socialism actually is. Its so funny how guys like you believe everything that those tea party red necks say.

  • @analseppo Your totaly right this thing really pisses me off. Obama ain't Socialist as a Socialist and Socialist friends we hate Obama...hah funny right. And america ain't socialist it's far from it. it's headed more toward Fascism and if the Tea party wins we will have a big Fascist State ran on Capitalism and lazzie Fair...haha for the Red Necks That means that Corps can control everything. even internet and tax it so working people can't afford it.

    Viva La Revoultion..Forward With Socialism!

  • @WorldlyMrB And what country is capitalist and what country is socialist?

  • @BobCassidy As of today, Communist China is Capitalist and USA is Socialist

    Hope that helps!

  • @WorldlyMrB Your totaly wrong dude....where did you learn that hum someone told you.......Socialism is about joint control the people have the power and they control it in Communitys or Communes. Workers share the wealth. money value decreasses as labour is the dollar. You work you eat and have wealth. NO greedy corps.

    Idiots like you destory the World and make it a horrible place!!!!!!!!

  • @WorldlyMrB What?...have you ever read a book in your life???

  • @analseppo Well it was stupid of you to ask that on a Capitalistic video. To really understand Communism you have to understand Socialism.Now True Communism or Socialism is not the Soviet Union or China or even Cuba. it dosent' exist yet and has never existed yet. True Socialism is basicly pure democracy where all people are joint together for common control of the state,or community. Power is shifted and Power get to decide what they work for and what wage is good enough through Communes.

  • @analseppo Communes are types of Co-op's or Unions.. Workers control the corps. factory. or what ever type of job it is. all workers go to the meetings and all debate one what should be done and where to spend the profit now people say greed all ways exist well it would be hard to say that one person deserves high salary when all the workers are there to debate on it.

    I can't even cover half or one third of what socialism really is. if you mesg me i will give you links and more info.

  • @analseppo Just please don't listen to these Idiots on here they have been brainwash by thousands of years of propaganda and other idiots telling them what to think. How could US be Socialist if Socialist are against the way US is acting. him...dosen't make since right. it's because US is Capitalistic and so is Obama and both parties suck. and so dose the Tea party.

  • @WorldDebater :hey have been brainwash for thousands of years"? First of all, your grammar sucks. All your base are belong to us lol. Second, America is only 234 years old, or 223 years if you consider the signing of the constitution our birthdate."How could US be Socialist if Socialist are against the way US is acting"? Same grammar complaints, but the way the U.S. is acting is precisely in accordance with socialist principles. I suggest you shut up until you know what you're talking about

  • @flythegadsden Dude, my first language is Norwegian, yes, a Socialist here, and I can see several grammar mistakes you, as a native speaker of English, have made. You American rednecks have no idea of what Socialism is, nor will you ever. "All your base belong to us"....HUH?

  • @SvalbardJanMayen1976 "all your base are belong to us" is a quote from a poorly translated video game that has become a joke. much like you. And despite what you may have been told, not all americans are uneducated rednecks. I may have been lucky enough not to experience socialism directly, but i can read, and history indicates that central planning usually fails

  • @flythegadsden my country of Noway is what you brainwashed Americans consider "socialist", right? Yet why do we have the highest salaries in the world? Denmark? Oh yeah, those socialist Danes? THE HIGEST STANDARD OF LIVING ON THE PLANET. Newt Gingrich once said "we don't want the USA to become like Sweden" YEAH, what a fucking SHITHOLE Sweden is! I never thought I'd see the USA collapse under the weight of shit it carries around, but here you go! America 1776-2012, REST IN PEACE MOTHERFUCKERS!

  • @SvalbardJanMayen1976 The population of Norway is about 5 million people, about half the population of the NY area, of course you can have a high standard of people, there aren't enough to matter, Norway is irrelevant on the world stage, although I always enjoyed visiting there, it is a beautiful country.

  • @clbill I have to jump in here. I've never been to Norway, have been to Sweden and Denmark, but I HAVE been to the US, lived there for 29 years. I can tell you, Norway and Scandanavia in general is so far above us Americans in terms of public quality of life, as well as private, that we couldn't even begin to comprehend it, and thanks to the GOP, never will. These singers spew filth about people from other countries, yeah, Rivoli is one of the names that came on the Mayflower xD.

  • @CzechDetectingChap You miss my point, I lived in Denmark for years, I agree that Scandinavia is a very advanced subculture and economic model, but they have a minuscule population in comparison to the USA, and very high taxes. Medical facilities are good, but still, the available tax base in equivalent dollars per person, and the willingness of the people to, virtually, work for the government, that is, tax rates approaching 100% is what makes it work, not possible at USA population level.

  • @clbill The average tax rate in Norway is based on income, so, you make more, you pay more, which is fair I think, the same as where I live, Czech Republic, so I don't know where you heard that it's 100%, if it was FOX, turn it off. Hey, the average American might shudder to think about Scandanavia and it's communist, socialist, whatever bullshit GOP throws at you, but I can tell you, they must be doing something right if they indeed have the best incomes, lifestyles, etc. in the world.

  • @CzechDetectingChap From wikipedia - "The tax level in Norway is among the highest in the world. In 2007, the total tax revenue was 43.6 % of the gross domestic product (GDP). Of OECD-countries, only Denmark, Sweden and Belgium had higher tax levels. The tax level has fluctuated between 40 and 45 % of GDP since the 1970s.[6]

    The high tax level is a result of the large Norwegian welfare state."

    That is 45% of the GDP, of course everyone loves it, if you are into a cradle to grave welfare state.

  • @clbill Well in America you pay lower taxes, true. And what do you get for it? High crime, unemployment, 4,000,000+ people homeless, 1 in 25 people in prison, 40,000,000 people without health insurance, racial tensions, schools that have 40 pupils in one class, cutbacks on Social Security and Medicare, the GOP wants to cut free lunch for kids ( I grew up on free lunch/breakfaast, it was the only meal of the day for me sometimes). Clap clap, lower taxes. I pay about 25% taxes, and it's worth it.

  • @clbill Also, this is the complete Wikipedia entry, notice anything different? When you cut and paste, include the whole thing --->Most of the tax revenue is spent on public services like health services, the operation of hospitals, education and transportation.

    The level of revenues are also influenced by the important role played by oil and gas extraction in the Norwegian economy."<--

    They make money NOT by invading other nations for oil. Enough said, GO NORWAY!

  • @CzechDetectingChap socialsim has NO effn place here in America! Ones life is WHAT ONE MAKES IT! ITS CALLED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! get over yourself!

  • @smmsmh considering you can't even fucking SPELL "socialism" tells me you don't know fuck all about politics. Hey, I hope Palin wins the election, I hope she grinds what's left of the US into the fucking dirt, I hope people like you resort to looting, and maybe, just MAYBE, after the fact that Bush 2000-2009 didn't teach you hicks a lesson about tyranny, people like you will FINALLY learn that voting Repullikkkan is BAD BAD BAD. I'm happy here in Europe though, happy Civil War II you wankers!!!

  • The Democrat Party of Thomas Jefferson is now dead. It has been taken over by the party of Karl Marx. Even the liberal Democrats use the old tactics of Communist regimes by the use of lies, intimidation, deception and fear to control the people!

  • She has a man's voice.

  • The constitution has been invalid for at least 100 years. Stop being fat, lazy, complacent, fast food, video game junkies and work towards a constitutional convention.

  • oh my gosh,, This is a AWESOME Song!!!! Good Job!!!!

  • Utter nonsense. The problem is not some crack-pot commies taking away the choices; the problem is that the U.S. companies and the business community got complacent and lost the edge, in part under the pampering of the previous admin; they were not your friends - they blew the budget through the roof and channeled huge amounts of public money to their buddies who in the process forgot how to compete on the world markets. Now, like the spotted owl, U.S. business needs to adapt, or...

  • crazzy people. I have never understood these tee party people do the believe them self or are they just acting?

  • you people better wake up. its already happening. do some research before you make your stupid comments.

  • The...stupidity...it's...astou­nding...

  • No Hussein Obama

  • read the 1933 social security law to know what has become of the american and his land.

  • we need more people like yoy that will take a stand for freedom and our constitution.

    bb

  • Yeah we were really free sister. Your such a fool. Your boys are the one who sold us out and bankrupted us, and then use the white trash to attack the poor who have no freedom.

  • @RobVanMeter It was the governments stupidity to over spend, now we have a 15 trillion dollar national debt

  • Refreshing to hear someone sing these days without all the damned vocal gymnastics currently in vogue among people who couldn't carry a tune or stay in pitch in a wheelbarrel. Good job guys.

  • USA will never ever ver be communist. the citizens wont allow it

  • @sovietninja3 Which citizens?the legal ones or the ilegals,who vastly outnumber the born Americans???

  • @monzaguy the vast number of citizens that own guns...

  • @sovietninja3 Well you better start using them soon.

  • I strongly, STRONGLY disagree with your idea's, being a proud socialist myself, but its good music.

  • @mdsatan WOW A proud socialist who has satan as part of his username!! What a coincidence!!.

  • @frogsoda Personally I try to refrain from personal attacks, what does Satan have to do with this? Or my username? Neither of those are relevant to my political idea's and ideals or to this song.

  • @mdsatan I didn't say it was relevant to anything. And I didn't personally attack you. I just noted that it was a coincidence. It's good to be proud of what you are.

  • @frogsoda ya really! he's got alot of credibility huh?

  • The Problem with "POOR PEOPLE GETTING VERY MINIMAL HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT" IS THAT "MINIMAL HELP" COSTS AMERICAN TAXPAYERS CLOSE TO $400 BILLION A YEAR, YES BILLION. THAT'S A FACT.

  • My problem with the tea party, though I am sympathetic to it, is that they want to go after all the wrong things. Instead of getting rid of all of the country's pork spending, excessive military spending, foreign aid, corporate welfare, bailouts to billionaires, foreign occupation, giving free military to 1st world countries like Germany and Japan (who could pay for their own) etc, what the tea party seems the MOST upset about is poor people getting very minimal help from the government.

  • @christo930 Germany has a military the Bundeswehr. We have bases there there for our own ends.. Yes though we should be gone from there and else where around the world. We need to worry about our own country for a change.

  • @adamkir1 But do you understand my concern that the last thing that should be cut is help to our fellow citizens?

  • @christo930 I think we need to cut a lot of this bloated government here domestically and abroad. I do agree that it seems slightly misguided at times but the average citizenry understands little about how massive this government is and I think that needs to change. The media certainly doesn't help, but the tea parties can be an impetus for this new understanding of our government and its excesses. Yes domestic programs naturally should be cut last. Our policing the world first.

  • @christo930 you don't pay much attention to facts, do you. Did you copy this garbage from KosKids or MoveOn?

  • @SunSop66 What did I say that you dispute?

  • @christo930 but America takes care of other countries, we went in to help Haiti and Japan, Kuwait when Iraq invaded, but America needs to learn to care for itself, thats why the USA is hurting so much, it cant care for its self

  • @VideoManiacify I agree.

  • sad but this is very true

  • what freedoms did people lose?

  • to ninetykid and circle8.. look at the demographics of the tea party.. i was obviously speaking in hyperbole you idiots. again, all you tea baggers do is spout meaningless about freedom and the constitution... HOW is he destroying your freedom? HOW is he destroying the consitution? Granted I've only taken a year of constitutional law at the law school I attend... but I haven't seen anything myself that would indicate he's destroying the constitution nor has any credible academic made such claims

  • @poopmaster3; A) The "demographics" of the Tea Party don't mean diddlysquat. The polls simply tell us what we already know: older, wealthier white people tend to hold conservative views, whereas poorer, younger blacks tend to be liberals. Seriously, what else is new?

    Besides, correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation. Does the fact that Sweden is overwhelmingly white make them all white supremacists?

  • @PadraikKasier I'm not making the direct inference that Tea Party members are all white supremacists. The Tea Party advertises itself as the "everyman" party. Representing "the people", not corporate America and not "the man". The Tea Party holds itself out as being the party for "real Americans"... problem is, according to their membership they are a party for middle-aged upper-middle class white men... Is that who "real Americans" are? Isn't that the definition of "the man"?

  • @PadraikKasier Moreover, for a party that abhors special interest and corporate/government greed it seems hypocritical that 1. Dick Armey was simultaneously chair of Freedom works AND a lobbying partner at DLA Piper (lobbyied for healthcare providers that would benefit from the healthcare bill being struck down) and 2. The Tea Party demonizes Wall Street, but when the administration wants to levy charges/fines against them all of the sudden its "NO! YOU'RE INTRUDING ON FREE ENTERPRISE!" Assholes

  • @poopmaster3; Hmm. I don't know who died and made Dick Armey the king of the Tea Party.
