  • Semper Fi sir! Oorah!!

  • PRAISE THE POWER...........

  • OORAH!

  • love it!!!

    

  • usa is gay :D and stupid :D

  • @Suomalainen123456789

    STOP!....HAMMER TIME!

  • A Coastguardsman Salutes you ! Well stated, sir.

  • Do you want to know how the vote freud against Ron Paul is being pulled off ??? I found a vidio on You- Tube called " Hacking Democracy" that blows apart the truth behind the defect in the Diebolt Machines. It runs almost 11/2 hours, but it is the BOMB to blow the election apart.Watch till the end, it will make it perfectly clear !! Then you will understand , and I hope you will as ANGRY as I am now . This needs to go super vireal on the web. Ron Paul 2012

  • Humbling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • @migo33333 name a group, religious or otherwise, that is perfect. The fact is everyone has blood on their hands from one point in history

  • @ckovarovic well i guess the catholic church is still keeping the tradition going....seems alot of priests seem to have a liking for boys..........and the pope was aware.....

  • @migo53333

    So that means everyone should disband their faith? Because of the failings of man? Those priests are the exact reason I do not attend churches, among other reasons, mostly being preached at, rather than read to, from the Bible. You seem to attribute all faith to the men in the robes when it is the Man upstairs that matters.

  • @ckovarovic and their lies the hypocracy..........

  • @migo53333 How is that hypocritical? You go after those that commit crimes , not abandon all faith. It is obvious you despise religion but you have to live beside those that embrace it. Saying the men in a church reflect the behaviors of all believers of a faith is ridiculous

  • "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." Treaty of Tripoli,1797

  • @acarnes Do you know what "founded" means? It may not have been founded but the fact remains: they were Christian, they were Philosophers of the French and even Greek traditions, and they were revolutionaries... They were not on the other hand: Mexican, Muslim, Asian, Aristocrats, Capitalists or Cabalists, or Atheists.

  • @maxDSferris I'd say you need to research the founding fathers a bit more my friend. To make the blanket statement that "they were Christians" reveals your ignorance on the matter. I'd suggest you begin by looking at the writings of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. Furthermore, the American Revolution itself was patently contradictory to New Testament teachings. Read 1 Peter 2:13 and Romans 13:1 if you doubt this.

  • @acarnes They were Christian because they were influenced by it more than people are influenced by TV and music today. Would you say TV/music doesn't influence Obama or Kissinger? See, your youtube, revisionist history is the problem with the whole damn country. You're all so media-inspired, you've all been indoctrinated into anti-religion Marxist beliefs, then you miss quote bible passages instead of getting the proper translations... which means you need even MORE research. sigh

  • @maxDSferris I have no interest in revising history. I take history as it is. There were founding fathers who were Christians and there were founding fathers who by their own admission were not. Also, you should note that I did not quote any Bible passages. I merely referred to chapter and verse. Look them up at bible.cc. Pick whichever translation you like. They all clearly say the same thing.

  • @acarnes You just revised it again! They were 100% raised and learned in Christianity - whether they "believed it" or not. There are passages of avoiding government conflicts and passages that say fight against tyranny in the scriptures. And you can't get a real translation from 'a bible', or internet bibles... you need a concordance and more. Everyone knows this who isn't a religious freak or an atheist freak. You want to take away our cultural heritage but you can't. You commie fuck

  • @maxDSferris Being raised in Christianity does not make one a Christian. I was raised in Christianity and I'm not a Christian. You may interpret the Treaty of Tripoli as trying to avoid a conflict, but you can't do the same for the founding father's personal letters. They were not all Christian. The history on this is clear. Also, please explain to me how a concordance is necessary to interpret the specific chapters and verses I referenced. And nice job with the profanity... 

  • @acarnes To quote this is as misleading as to quote the one time Jefferson made a deist type remark & extrapolate that into his being a deist when he made and did almost 100 other acts and statements affirming his Christian beliefs. This treaty was stated that way for political purposes and CONTRADICTS hundreds and hundreds of other official US documents statements, paintings, statues, inscriptions, etc etc etc

    This is a lie by omission and only proves your ignorance of US history.

  • @mitch7788 "And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding...." Jefferson's letter to John Adams, April 11 1823

    Those certainly read like the words of a Christian... or not.

  • @mitch7788 "Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority..."

    Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom

  • Semper Fi; Marine.

  • Nice voice I suppose.

  • you can always tell when something is honest good or true because all the lib whack jobs spout every old recycled lie theyve been told- nothing new or original, just how terrible our founding fathers were, they only continue to prove the point that today mankind is still fallen and in need of a Savior!!!

  • @michaeloflorne

    as a Dedicated Liberal Democrat i believe our  founding fathers were evil rotten Racist bigots ! they were also sexist and homophobes .

    Liberalism is the truth, Democrats have all the facts and solutions

    Vote Obama 2012, Time for the Liberal New world order

  • 2:03 black guys!(?) wohoooo

  • Quite a wonderful difference between these wonderful people and those entitled Occupiers . . . . .

  • @SunLakersKennLylla wheres the verse about "we don't like the prez cause hes black"?

  • @SunLakersKennLylla Where is the new updated version about us invading oil producing countries to kill the terrorists?

  • wow goosebumps!!!!

  • Watched a dozen times and still love it!

  • May it wave in Freedom forever! Semper Fi, Brother!

  • I wish us British had this much passion for our country, despite its past.

  • o yes i love it

  • @d0nttellhimpike I will pray for you.........

  • The fact that we have natural given rights is testament to God's grace. This is basic philosophy. We have no natural rights under atheistic beliefs.

  • @pntblnguitarists What natural rights does god grant? The Bible clearly states that one does not have free speech, free religion and on the sabbath, one is not supposed to do anything, including picking up firewood. The bible does not prescribe, nor even suggest trials by jury or the abolition of slavery, Homosexuals and witches are to be punished by death, among others. So I ask again, what "rights" does god, through the bible, grant?

  • @pntblnguitaris  what is a natural given right?

  • @pntblnguitarists Yeah, according to God in the bible we have the right to stone to death: disobedient children, gay people and women who are found to be non virginal at their weddings.....

  • HUA!!!!!!!

    Actual people there are more Verses to the Anthem that everybody knows.

  • he made this up

  • fat proud red neck American !

  • someone should of snuffed him and rick rolled that shit lol!

  • BRAINWASHED lol!

  • Sicken-fuckin-ing. This mutt-country has "never" been in a just war. Would take a white-nigger sheep 2 parrot-that-blind-faith cunt-mucous shit.

  • @glenneveaux wwII was just. you don't deserve to live here.

  • @glenneveaux Then world war II wasn't a worthy war? When we saved the last of the Jews from extinction at the hands of a brutal and genocidal maniac (Hitler). Or Korea, when we were thrust into the war trying to protect the South Korean Republic from destruction, though a tie, we succeeded in keeping South free of Communism. Or better yet the men of the Civil War on both sides, the North wanting to reunite the nation, the south fighting for their national rights.

  • @glenneveaux The Revolution, when mere farmers and carpenters, blacksmiths and tailors, picked up their weapons, and joined the fight for freedom. Honest to God patriots who saw a future free from oppression by a tyrant across the ocean. Or Somalia, when we attempted to remove Mohammad from his power seat in Mogadishu, and provide food and supplies to the oppressed people, having to deal with genocide at a BIBLICAL proportion. Or the 200 at the Alamo, they fought for nothing? But money?

  • @glenneveaux You sir must learn YOUR history. This nation may not be proud of its tragedies and accidents, but it has been the first nation into the war, and the last nation to exit out. We are the ones to be asked to lead the way. We are the Rangers of the World, we lead the assault on terrorism, and pave the way for freedom, we strike at dictatorships, allowing the people to form their government. In the last 200+ years, we have fought, and won, almost every war we've been involved in.

  • Morgan Freeman?

  • FEMA CAMPS ARE GOING TO BE FILLED FULL

  • well you dont here that often enough

  • SEMPER FI

  • "In God Is Our Trust."

  • Anyone who remembers the history of his country lost a man

  • How do we decide whose book to look to when deciding the law of the land? If you think the majority should decided, are you comfortable with the fact that your brand of Christianity will no longer be the majority? Will you be OK with, for example, Catholics or Mormons writing their religious practices into law? Otherwise, if you solely want to make laws according to your version of the Bible, then you wish for a theocratic oligarchy which is the opposite of what the fathers intended.

  • @IanFree0007 That's an easy answer. We would use the book that founded this nation. The Holy Bible. Catholics, Mormons all use the Holy Bible. Mormons have an addition to the Bible. The only religion who doesn't use the Holy Bible is Islam and atheists. It don't matter what the majority is...it is the founding fathers book.

  • @bsierocki Then you are asking for a Theocratic Oligarchy, which I do believe the Founding Fathers wanted a democratic republic...

  • @IanFree0007 uh..no. I'm not asking for anything. but if you want an example of what I want then just go back a century and that would be about right for what I think the gov should be.

  • @bsierocki So...only whites can vote, women are second class citizens, safety within industry would be shit, ghettos would be rampant...that's what you want?

  • @bsierocki the book that founded this nation? Proof please.

    The only thing that founded this nation was a document, and it's name is "The Declaration of Indepencence", signed by half of the people who didn't believe in the biblical God.

  • @Griesmayer apparently you don't know history. Go read something.

  • @bsierocki Holy Bible... from the Old Testament... Used by the Jewish, Muslims and the Christians you turkey. Wake up.

  • @bsierocki The "Holy" bible you speak of is filled with violence....ie; "if a woman is found to be non virginal at her wedding, she must be stoned to death, same punishment for disobedient children!! thats a loving God!!!!

  • @bsierocki isnt that the same book that commands mankind to kill women who r found to be non virginal at their weddings, homosexuals and disobedient children???

  • @IanFree0007 er....Catholics = Christians.

  • @Griesmayer Not really. They are thought to be synonymous, but they mean similar (but different) things.

  • @IanFree0007 look it up in the dictionary. Catholics and Protestants and subgroups of Christianity. There is no such thing as "Christians" - they're either Catholic, Protestant, JV, Mormon, Orthodox, Coptic, Presbyterian, Episcopalian etc.

  • @Griesmayer Usually when someone says their "Christian" they're non-denominational, meaning they worship God the way they believe the Bible tells them to other than how the -for lack of a better word- group tells them to. I.e. Where a practicing Catholic would be told by a priest to say x amount of Hail Mary's in order to be forgiven of a sin, a non-denominational would just directly ask forgiveness from God once. If someone is Protestant, Catholic, etc they usually say it straight out.

  • @Griesmayer Those denominations are united by a virtue of central tenets that share the same philosophy or beliefs. While the details differ from each denomination in specific instances, the overall intent and founding principle remains the same or similar throughout many of the "Christian" denominations.

  • This song was written during the War of 1812 (actually in 1814), not the Revolution, and was not adopted as our national anthem until 1931.

  • @PHenry500 before that "My Country Tis of Thee" and "Hail Columbia" were used. The Navy used "Star Spangled Banner in 1889 and the it was the President's official song in 1916. It's good to know our history. Either way God was in every single song they used.

  • @bsierocki and God was encouraging us to enslave and slaughter the american Indians who were here for thousands of years before us........yea!!!!!!

  • I like these guys better than the occupy!

  • Good voice too

  • absolute sentimental nonsense. BLAHHHHH !

  • The song was written during the War of 1812. It has nothing to do with the founding of the Unites States. It's one man's work.

    Many Christmas standards were written by Jews. A song is a song.

    Having said that, the song still gives me chills.

  • Anyways, who is in charge on the tea party. They keep changing their minds, before they like war and now they don't like war. hays...

  • that is AMAZING

  • Just a side note, and no disrespect to him since I'm a retired Marine myself but there are actually 4 original verses to the Star Spangled Banner. The one he is singing is actually the 4th verse.

  • @WyldeLee I wanted to say thank you for your service to this country. Too many times those words aren't said often enough to any of you. This country is far from perfect we will always be a work in progress. No matter how, racist, hateful or ignorant some of these comments are they are still ALL protected by the constitution. None of you have to worry about storm troopers coming to take you away in the middle of night because of them. Remember that when you bash this country or it's defenders.

  • Brings a tear to my eye. Great job.

  • Comment removed

  • The phrase in GOD we trust, doesn't say a Christian, Jewish, Muslim or any specific GOD, only a creator. The founding fathers were more concerned that the government itself would oppress free religion because in Europe many times the church was the government and visa versa. My ancestors were Anabapists(ie Mennonite, Brethern and Amish)they were imprisoned, tortured and killed because they dared defy the Catholic church of the time. That's why the fled here, to practice in peace.

  • @abffchick17 Well put.

  • I have never heard that verse Before. im glad i stumbled upon this video

  • STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER!

    OWS + Tea-P = unstoppable!

    This time the regime suppressing the world doesn't have a Hitler/ Stalin/ Pope or King. They've learned from mistakes of the past that there should be no central leader or one ideal, just a plutocracy linked through a common currency which is 'credit' and debt. So this time WE need to have no one ideal!

    This has to be an INDIVIDUALIST MOVEMENT - not socialist, or nationalist, or Dems or Repubs

    It's called democracy. UNITED WE STAND!!!!!!

  • @maxDSferris

    Problem is...ows is nowhere near what the Tea Party would stand for.

  • @ckovarovic There's always common ground. It's like we're children for fucks sakes

  • @maxDSferris

    Wrong, there is no common ground with a movement that is looking to tear down capitalism and replace with unconstitutional socialism. You cannot equate the two , there is no common ground and the OWS movement is lucky to be the 2% , people will not stand for a socialist agenda that is packed with leftist special interest.. If you want to see someone act like a child, look at the OWS petulant child, "I wont move until I get what I want at the expense of the tax payer."

  • @ckovarovic Both sides have those traders. Any time you use the government taxes to control the economy, pay bail outs, any "trickle down theory", pro Regan, pro corporatism, pro-oil-wars are big government Nationalism. They follow Hitler's doctrine rather than Marx like the Leftist do. When you support corporations like Republicans do, when you support FOX news propaganda it becomes socialism for corporations which is the Nazi model of government called NATIONALIST SOCIALISM.

  • @maxDSferris

    Your post would seem to imply I'm a  backer of republican establishment. Now I will say your comparison to Hitler is Extremely off but I do agree that we need to be a constitutionalist nation and not a corporatist nation. I do not believe in bailouts, foreign oil (drill here) nor big government. I want a government that fits within the constitution and balances it's checkbook. I am tired of paying for every special interest under the sun.

  • @ckovaroc Special interests make up about 10% of spending. It's the military and social security you're paying for -- but soldiers get food stamps to feed their families. It's also inflation and debt which goes straight to wall street and private banks because you support a free market and deregulation lower than any time in history. All you're opinions come from republicans, calling people socialist and screaming about drilling oil when we have plenty in Canada. You're a nationalist-socialist

  • @maxDSferris

    My opinions have nothing to do with Republicans, they have to do with constitutional government, nor does the constitution support National Socialism, so you need to come up with something more solid than that. As for special interest making up 10% of spending? Look at the green initiatives, that is much more than 10%. If you understand the constitution, you will understand I am nowhere near National Socialism. I believe in getting all corporate and union money out of government .

  • @ckovarovic Wrong. Just saying you want to get union money out of government is Republican. If you got the corporate money out of government you wouldn't need unions genius. If the corporations get out of politics they with wouldn't be making all the rules for the working class and the unions would have nothing to fight over. The rule of law would define the rules. You're anti-union because Nationalists are anti-union.

  • @maxDSferris

    Wow, really? You are going to claim that unions aren't a political arm? You are lost.

    Research why JFK executive ordered public sector unions into existence. Hint*he saw their political clout in NY and Chicago

  • @ckovarovic Political arm but not that big of a deal compared to oil wars. Religions are a political arm, should we shut then down too? What about the fryers club or rotary clubs? What about Hollywood, shut it all down? Unions are a function of society that go back to Ancient Greece. Marx didn't invent them. Get over your reactionary-Marxist outlook. The world isn't Marx and not Marx.

  • @maxDSferris Marxist outlook? You obviously know nothing of Marxism if you liken my views to his. Also, religions aren't a function of government, nor is Hollywood, public sector unions are. Government doesn't take money from your paycheck to give tithe to the church, they DO take money from your check to give to the unions. Now that is closer to Marxism than anything I've stated. I want federal government OUT of our lives minus their constitutionally prescribed measures.

  • @maxDSferris It's called democracy.UNITED WE STAND!!!!!!?? The authors of our constitution HATED democracy with a passion. They started a Republic.A good definition of a democracy is 2 foxes and 1 chicken taking a vote on whats for dinner.Majority rules with no regard for individual rights.A Republic always protects the rights of the individual...But you are right here, This has to be an INDIVIDUALIST MOVEMENT - not socialist, or nationalist,or Dems or Repubs., that is a Republic. Ron Paul 2012

  • In God is our Trust 

  • Laser231000. Our founding fathers did not include things like no prayer in school or government backed events as they were from a generation of people who themselves or their families came from countries with oppressive religion imposed on citizens and came here to get away from that. They did not consider that in the future some people would think they could impose their own religious views on other Americans. Organized religion is not allowed in schools but moments for silence prayers is.

  • Anyone willing to call themselves an American Citizen should be respectful of all that is the foundation of the country they so claim as their own. Someone wrote that the military doesn't fight for the Flag. They are right, but the US Flag represents all they fought for. Many times I was deployed, tired, and homesick,yet when I saw an American Flag flying it reminded me I was there for a reason. If you don't want to pledge allegiance to where you live feel free to move to another country.

  • @spectre8969 I respect you greatly sir.

  • so why were they stuned...? ...they didn't know there were more verses to this song...? ...every natinal anthem i know has more verses than the one or two or three official verses... ...usully people sing and learn just the official part which is the national anthem... ...but i guess unedicated americans do not even know anything about other countries - they do not even know anything about their own country... ...pathetic...

  • That is beautiful!

  • That was pretty impressive!

  • wak..XXXX

  • So some dope puts "In God is our Trust" in a song and now it's canon? You realize that "Hail, Columbia" was the de facto national anthem during much of our history, don't you? No mention of God in that song. It also predates the Star-Spangled Banner.

    Open a book, learn some history. It can be enlightening.

  • Marine (to wife): "honey, I'm gonna really do it this time. I hope I can get a chance to sing it, I've been practicing alot.

    Wife: I hope so too!

    Marine: But I'm nervous though, What if Im no good?

    Wife: You'll be fine.

    Marine: But Im really nervous, what if they hate me?? What if I need more practice? Can I sing it to you know more time?

    Wife: No thats ok. I think youre fine.

    Marine: Cmon, just once?

    Wife: Jesus! If I have to listen to this shit one more time. I'M gonna join al qaeda myself!!

  • Wow i just goose bumps. That was awesome.

  • Three Large Pepperoni Pizza's, all for just $9 each. It's the 9...9...9 special! You really gonna let a pizza man have the nuclear codes?

  • ...Now go Tea Bag eachother! :p

  • It is a song written by one man and reflecting his personal thoughts. While it is nice it is not is part of our constitution. We were a people who fled religiousness tyranny. Our founding fathers, many if not most of who were religious, were clearly determined to insure religious beliefs were protected from government by the exclusion of religion in government. Conservatives or Liberals who say otherwise are selectively ignoring our constitution and our founding fathers intent.

  • @bowlhawk --The Constitution merely says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." It does not say nor imply that all references to a deity be prohibited. It does not say that there shall be no prayer in schools or Gov't backed events. It says that the feds cannot pass a law mandating a National religion but at the same time it cannot prevent you from exercising the right to worship in the manner that you choose.

  • @bowlhawk

    The exclusion of the Governments right to create a State Religion (such as the Church of England) -not the exclusion of religious beliefs in the heart and minds of the people who get elected to Government office.

  • @bowlhawk They fled the tyranny of a state religion, not religion per se. Infact they guaranteed everyone the right to their own belief system with the lst Amendment and left the state out of it. You have not read your history or you would know many of the Founders had profound belief in God. One's belief in God-or not- is protected. The Declaration says our rights come from the Creator. Who was that meant to be? Restore America 2012 vote RON PAUL

  • @bowlhawk

    Let's talk about founding father's intent ...have you read the Declaration of Independence ? It is filled with religious intent. "Endowed by our Creator" , "Nature's God entitle them" , " appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world" , and the Best line ever...."And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Deny that intent.

  • @ckovarovic that's not necessarily theistic intent, perhaps it is deistic instead. all seeing eye on top the pyramid of providence inDEED!

  • @tomcornhole

    If you read their individual writings , it is clearly theistic. Benjamin Franklin called for prayer before every congressional meeting, most of the founders held seminary degrees, William Samuel Johnson stated "Imprint deep upon your minds the principles of piety towards God, and a reverence and fear of His holy name. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and its consummation is everlasting felicity. " There's more to it but only so much in one post.

  • @tomcornhole

    If you want more, please read the federalist papers, there is plenty of intent out there.

  • @ckovarovic in God We Trust is just a ruse designed to confuse the Rubes, the real leaders are all elite secret society members who bow down before GOD KNOWS WHAT, mostly OSIRIS and some other fucked -up gods like MOLOCH and COLUMBIA. this was nEVER a christian nation. just look how the white settlers acted towards the slaves and the indians/ end of story

  • @tomcornhole

    They were mostly protestant and baptist attempting to escape the English Roman Catholic mandated religion, please read instead of wearing the tin foil hat. Library of Congress has many original documents that you can get a feel for what it was about back then. You say end of story before you even study all sides of the subject which shows your narrow mindedness. How they acted toward slaves and indians has nothing to do with it, you've had that worldwide since time began.

  • @ckovarovic oh it certainly is NOT the end of the story. how the white christian settlers treated the natives had EVERYTHING to do with it. i've read myself to Mental Critical Mass, THEN i started wearing the 'tin-foil' hat. I doubt that you know the origin of the meme 'tin-foil hat' anyway. and if you're croatian or Yugoslav you'd better step off baby you're talking to Tszcharlo Vemanovic noW

  • @tomcornhole

    How does their treatment of slaves and indians have anything to do with the religious intent of the people who wrote our founding documents? I know exactly where the Phrase Tin Foil Hat comes from and you are acting that darned nutty. We've had slavery and conquest since the beginning of time and carbon based life forms, it has nothing to do with what I was arguing, and unless you can give a coherent correlation , I am done talking to you. 

  • @ckovarovic tin foil hat people are more fun than you

  • @bowlhawk

    And to be more specific ,there is nothing in the constitution keeping religion out of government, it only states that government will not mandate a religion of the state nor abridge the free exercise of your own religion. The separation of church and state was in a letter to the Danbury Baptists, again, not keeping religion out of government but keeping religion from powering over another. It is available in the Library of Congress.

  • @ckovarovic ckovarovic wins

  • @uberrrich

    Any time we can help one another understand our history and we stick to that intent makes us all winners. Whether or not you are a religious person, the tenets of the Bible and the moral compass of Christianity is still a good concept. I thin it is an emotional reaction that any time religion is mentioned the subject immediately becomes that some one is FORCING a religion. I do not see a cross and think "MUST FOLLOW..." The beauty of Free Will.

  • @ckovarovic Very well said. Everyone is free to believe what they feel one way or another. Whether or not the words In GOD we trust or something similar is on documents, money or signs doesn't mean anyone is forced to believe or practice it.  I think every person has enough free will to decide for themselves. It comes down to respecting one another and coexisting together, that is what America was originally founded on.

  • @ckovarovic Yeah good point.......why would God bless a country that was founded on the slaughter of the american natives that were here before us?Thats a great moral compass to guide us against evil.......yeah free will....I think columbus had free will when he slaughtered and enslaved the natives of hispaniola in the carribean starting a slave trade back to europe......hey! wait a minute.... it doesnt say any of these things in our great american history books........

  • @migo53333 The Star Spangled Banner was written from the victory over the British Royal Navy. It has nothing to do with the natives. I don't think there is a song for that. But we do get good money from the government :) and we are not mad about it anymore. So you should get over it as well.

  • @bsierocki you dont get it! GOD, would not be blessing a country that is born on the slaughter of the original natives! has nothing at all to do with you being an indian.....God will not bless a land or its people who murdered the original inhabitants in order to take the place over.......

  • @migo53333 how do you know this? Have you had a conversation with GOD?

  • @bsierocki How do i know this?? do u live in a cave? Let me continue with the wonderful Christopher Columbus, the one whom the catholic church praises, when he came to the carribean, he slaughtered thousands of the natives of hispaniola, and then he enslaved them and started a slave trade back to europe......and the catholic church has an organization honoring this guy! great stuff.....

  • @migo53333 Is there anyone without sin that should be honored by the Church? I would bet everyone has something. Also remember he did change world thinking in terms of geography and exploration. You would like to view him in a revisionist history of consequences without acknowledging his contributions in the light of his own social times and circumstances. Historical context plays a pretty large role that is unacknowledged in your comment.

  • @BosPercussion Ohhh...i get it now! Because columbus was a significant explorer, its ok that he slaughtered all those natives......ok, its making some sense now.....thank you!

  • @migo53333 Thank you for not refuting a single one of m points that was in contention to your original argument. And actually, the Catholic church itself I'm sure has deified many folks with sin.  If you don't like their organization or their standards, don't be a part of it. Unless membership is mandatory (not even US Citizenship is....), love it or leave it. But don't stand there and criticize it and debase it when you have membership in it.

  • @BosPercussion Sorry my friend, but its called freedom of speech and my ancestors in the usa go back 123 years......

  • @migo53333 Yes it's called freedom of speech. I didn't say you didn't have the right to voice your opinion. I just served to reinforce that you are here in this organization voluntarily - if you don't agree with it or don't like it, you are free to choose another organization to be apart of. Also, since you have displayed your ignorance and removed all doubt by commenting, people are not able to take away rights; only government can do that.

  • @BosPercussion I left the church after doing my research......and after hearing K of C members telling racist jokes at the bar at the k of c hall after ushering at mass....

  • @BosPercussion

    whoever doesnt vote for Obama is a hate filled racist bigot.

    Democrats are superior, you are inferior to us

  • @AnatomicalALIGNMENT Thank you for your awesome analysis and reason. How do I achieve at your high level?
