America blows. I live here. Government cover ups, starting wars for no reason, destroying the lives of innocent people, illegalizing marijuana even though cigarettes and alcohol kill about 500,000 people annually. Marijuana kills NO ONE.
We dropped the bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima when the Japanese were already planning on surrendering. We dropped Agent Orange on Vietnam after losing the war, all because America doesn't have the balls to accept defeat. Fucking backwards ass country.
@MrSlasher1996 Do you want to be an American? Do you want your children to be Americans? There's a difference between that and "just" wanting to live here.
@TrendAndy1982 We seem to have a lot in common. I have a very good internet friend in Germany, but I'm still not sure if he is the exception or the rule in Germany. Also, besides the United States, the country that watches this video and my Yankee Doodle videos is Germany. I still have not figured that out yet. Greetings back to you.
America is the only country in the world that is a mix of all cultures if you think about it all other countries have a quote on quote master race and dont like outsiders so if u ask me america is the least racist country in the world and thats why im willing to die to perserve our way of life hooah
@CptainGarmaZabi Oh, please. I've see vodeo footage of European soccer matches where the fans openly do nazi salutes and/or throw bananas and make monkey noises at the opposing black players.
@griswinskij Now it will be more because of you. There are very few ways to get your comment deleted from one of my videos, but this is one of them. Don't be surprised if your comment mysteriously disappears in a few days....
@jbranstetter04 why hes right muslims destroy the US and destroy it from inside, or are u the kind of people u accept the building of a mosque next to 9/11 memorial?
@longyearbyen17 I don't except the building of the mosque. It is their way of testing us to see if we are suicidal. They can build it father away from ground zero (the place where the towers were destroyed by the radical Islamic enemies of freedom).
@jbranstetter04 I think many people dont see that this isnt only a mosque it stands for the sucess of islamists over the US, our western values, our culture. Its their symbol to show that they won on the place where the west gots the hardest clash.
@longyearbyen17 Personally I would have used some federal money to build them back just like they used to be, but 20 stories taller and able to withstand 50 planes flying into them! The reason to use some federal money is because it was an attack on America, on everything that we stand for. Also, they would be built by now. I wouldn't take over ten years to do it. This is embarrassing.
Ok I'm sick and tired of idiots raging why the fuck do you see and listen to s video then say it's horrible fuck America etc etc srsly get your troll ass off the computer get out of your moms basement get a girl and comment only on videos you like you decided to watch this so shut the fuck up if you don't have anything nice to say!
This brings back memories from when i was just five and a great calamity occurred.Put that to the side now,now he has been caught.Lets see what allah tells his dumb ass,lol allah.
@liceman111 1 in a 100 americans are in jail and a 2 party pluralist state and you think you live in the land of the free? ha ha you havn't got out of america recently have you? to say americans hate communism so much you don't half have a lot in common, a government controlled media, lots and lots of so called national security agencies snooping in to all your telephone conversations and monitoring everything you do, and more people locked up than any other nation, free you say.....lol really
Americans are in jail because they committed a crime. Obey the laws of the land! And YES, we are the land of the free. If you don't like it here go to another country, maybe Egypt.

@Freieggt37 Don't take it personal I'm talking about the crooks that run your country, you know....the shadow government the one that Bill Clinton referred to, the ones that really control things. and if you got words like "free" in your anthem but 1 in a 100 are locked up, that doesn't sound very free, how come you breed so many crooks over there?
Not many know that this song actually has four verses. The first and fourth are sung here and that is a rare enough occurrence. If you are fortunate, you might here a version with the first, second and fourth verses. I have yet to hear a rendition that has all four verses. That version tells a whole story that is both powerful and inspiring. Go look up the original poem by Francis Scott Key.
When i saw the twin towers at 0:28 seconds i wished they were back. God bless the 9/11 victims and the soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan. (great video to go with the song).
The other day I was watching a news programme and the reporter was going around new york asking new yorkers how long america has been in afghanistan? some didn't know another said 2 yrs lol (answer 9 yrs) they were then asked where is afghanistan? they didn't know, they were then asked how many american soldiers have died in afghanistan? they didn't know, they were then asked has lindsay lohan come out of rehab yet? guess what, they all knew the answer! superficial no brain american dimwits.
@MindCrazedBanjo Don't be bad When Latinos are asked where Panama is they think of Noriega and it is a haven for evil dicators when they are overthrown.
@Gvieto And all those evil Nazis fleeing at the end of WW2, something America would never dream of doing...harbouring fleeing Nazis, oh wait a minute I forgot.....they took in Wernher von Braun the Nazis rocket scientist who was responsible for devising ways of firing rockets at your allies and your soldiers based in UK, funny that isn't it america giving a Nazis asylum, makes you wonder why they didn't do the same with Josef Mengele (Dr Death) amd use his medical experience USA a joke state lol
@MindCrazedBanjo Pick and choose your poison I guess. What I see your point is that people today are ignornant of their nation and worship celebs. It will be the end of our USA unless we the people wake up and realize that terrorism is real.
@Gvieto No! you got it all wrong. It's plain and simple, america (with a small "a") are HYPOCRITES (large letters) because they instigated the Nuremberg trials and hung certain people because they were Nazis war criminals, but for pure selfish reasons they decided to harbourer a Nazis war criminal, ie: wohner von Braun and some of his assistants, therefore sacrificing the moral high ground to attain knowledge because americans are stupider than Germans....its simple.
@MindCrazedBanjo During war, you do what is best for your country, your people. That is common sense. If he had information that would help our country, then so be it. He made us have rockets. Yipee! We decided to help defend our country by having massive rockets that can kill you. Si vis pacem, para bellum. If you wish for peace, prepare for war.
@PatrioticEagle50 sounded good for a minute, but unfortunately for you the war had ended and your country gave asylum to a nazi war criminal inspite of the atrocities that he and his kind had carried out, no surprises there, since the usa is run by criminals who don't give a damn about morals. Strange how the simon wiesenthal brigade were allowed to seek out and bring to justice the rest of von brauns buddies, would have been strange if von braun had been in the court room when sentencing them.
@JESUACVD You made me cry just there. I'm so happy you feel that way, it makes me proud to be American and to live in such a fantastic country. I hope that you are able to come here one day, if you haven't already, and that you get your wish one day.
"conquer we must, when our cause it is just" lolololololololo what a load of bullshit, I can just see lots of brainwashed nationalistic dimwits with their hands on their hearts and a flag pole sticking out their butts, when will you sheep learn, ffs grow up and snap out of it! ....It's up to you not to heed the call up, you must not act the way you were brought up.
@MindCrazedBanjo Go off somewhere and cry in a corner. Don't try to ruin what we like. And don't try to tell me that my country is somehow evil and that it has not been a force for good in a liberty starved world.
@jbranstetter04 I heard they been arresting peace campaigners under the new terrorism acts lol, so much for liberty. I hope your getting all your young folk ready for the next conflict, for a country whose constitution forbids it to pre-empt war you don't seem to do bad, and how come you've still got control of a piece of cuba? isn't that also against the American constitution, you kicked the Spanish out of there and then you stayed there, whats that all about. surely not imperialism..is it?
@jbranstetter04 Give up it's hopeless. That's the conclusion I've come to. I'm a white American who will be leaving this country soon for good in complete disgust. Americans are so brainwashed - they are beyond help. The USA today is full of hate and their masters can redirect this hate at will towards whatever they declare as "the enemy" and Americans will attack like trained dogs. If you look at it objectively, the USA today is the biggest danger to world peace.
People like YOU are a sign to the world that there are still a few left in the US who refuse to swallow the brainwash and propaganda of the fascist military regime! I couldn't agree more with you.
The US are the biggest military terror regime since Nazi Germany, constantly destabilizing and mass slaughtering the poor for profit. A "permanent war economy".
May you find peace somewhere else and lead a long and healthy life.
@megatroll You compare the US to Nazi Germany in what way? Have we rolled our tanks into Europe or any other continent in order to take it as a prize? No we have not. What did we do with the biggest military, more powerful than that of the entire world combined after WWII? We freed and helped our former enemies of Japan and Germany become great democracies. What countries have we occupied and looted? Iraq? Not even close. We have spent billions of dollars and received not a drop of oil.
Yes, you've rolled into the middle east, asia as well as wide parts of Europe to install your bases. You didn't "free" anyone. That's the brainwash agenda you tools grow up with. You destroyed Germany and dropped nuclear bombs on Japan to flex your muscles for the Russians. You've occupied Iraq, Afghanistan, and many more. It's not about the oil you tool. It's about securing recources from the Russians and Chinese + Afghan opium fields.
@megatroll Can it with your brainwashed agenda. You're probably Middle Eastern. It's IRONIC that you no doubt come from a country where the media and political discourse are more controlled, and claim WE are brainwashed. You don't even know what a free media is. You want to know brainwashed? It's little robots like you saying "brainwashed, brainwashed, brainwashed" on their master's command.
@megatroll If we were brainwashed, we wouldn't have such a division in public opinion, with much of it agreeing with you, and much of it disagreeing with you. That's a sign of a free populace.
I hope someone beats the liberal out of you. Its people like you not acting on the conservative values you should have been brought up with that are convinced everyone is entitled to a house (that they cant afford) or entitled to healthcare (that they wont pay for) or any number of welfare programs that create the dimwitted sheep who are the reason that politics is quid pro quo. Pandering to sheep that vote for whoever will fatten their bellies without making them earn it.

@MindCrazedBanjo If we're proud of our country, that's our business and certainly not yours. Go ahead and hate us, but do so in a way that doesn't insult the United States of America. I respect your opinions and you must respect ours in return.
@MindCrazedBanjo Ahh. It's dumb pieces of shit like you that have absolutely NO CLUE what you're talking about that make me so sick. The worst part is that you feel the need to spread your clueless opinion just for some attention. If you're really this stupid, I ask you, shut your face.
I guess you don't care about facts, like the fact that 64% of Americans disagreed with the Iraq war in 2008. You must also be totally ignorant of the context of The Star Spangled Banner. It was a poem written in response to the "Defence of Fort McHenry" in 1814, when the USA was defending itself from the world's most powerful tyrant of the time, the colonial British Empire. They were fighting for their freedom back then, unlike today. Try to keep facts in context you tool.
@MindCrazedBanjo I fail to see what the number of friends someone has on YouTube has to do with their comment. I admit s/he could have phrased their comment better, but there is no need to be so rude.
I am not an American citizen but I would like to object to some points that you have made. Firstly, your insistence on a small letter 'a' in America. I do not understand why the capitalisation of the word America is so important to you, but it is only common decency to capitalise a country's name.
@kuaispeed Also, your point about the Americans allowing Nazi criminals to live is a hypocritcal statement in itself. If we applied that logic to, say, the United Kingdom (your country, according to your profile), then the United Kingdom should be blamed for dumping opium in China, allowing the slave trade and kicking Winston Churchill (who helped them win WWII) out of his office.
Next, your claim that Americans are stupider than Germans. That is a pathetic attack based on a person's race.
@kuaispeed Not all Americans are stupid and not all Germans are smart. It is illogical to claim that people of the country that invented things we take for granted, such as lightning rods, suspension bridges, fire hydrants, morse code and circuit breakers (all before 1890) produces idiots.
Also, you seem to object America granting asylum to Nazi war criminals. If everyone believed that, then everyone should hate Germany, Italy, Japan and all the other countries that supported the Axis Powers.
@kuaispeed My next point is your claim that America is run by criminals who don't care about morals. If America truly did not care about morals, then President Obama would not be in the White House, all African-Americans would still be slaves and people would consider going to America the equivalent of living in Pakistan, Iraq or Afghanistan.
And if America were run by criminals, then why does America share a border with Canada without wars emerging every few years? Or still be considered safe?
@kuaispeed Also, you state "1 in 100 Americans are in jail[ ...] a government controlled media, lots and lots of so called national security agencies snooping in to all your telephone conversations and monitoring everything you do, and more people locked up than any other nation"
I believe TheSilversheath covered that point, so I shall simply ask for you to maybe, re-read it?
I am now brought to my next point. "Brainwashed nationalistic dimwits", really? Anyone would take offense to that.
@cbtfan666 You know it's people like you who inspired me to join the Army, just so I could watch you assholes die as the rolling thunder of the red, white, and blue came marching on!
@cbtfan666 What the fuck is a talionist? You think ragheads are going to destroy this nation and 309 million people? Highly unlikley. They can crash into buildings and knock us down, but we'll always get up and rebuild. FYI we've captured many new terror suspects and stopped countless bombings. Shove that in your pipe and smoke it.
Sadly, our country has the most technologicaly advanced military in the world. Haters can hate, but the USA has been there for everyone in times of dire need ( earthquakes, tsunamis, etc etc.) and we still will be for many years to come
@cbtfan666 never said the country was SO BIG, or SO POWERFUL, i said its getting better, lol and it was not due to anything but our idiocy with loans, lesson learned lol, economy as a whole is turning around banks are not having massive financial problems, will just take time to see it trickle to the other parts of the economy :D
Does anyone know if there is a video on here of all FOUR verses? Hearing the first and last verse (as in this video) is rare enough, but all FOUR is almost unheard of!
@longfootbuddy that is by far not true. Do you live a good life. Do you disagree with the President of the USA. In any tyrannical country you would be killed like my great uncle was when he spoke against Franco, dictator of Spain. This country has helped lead the world with other nations.
Duty, honor, country. Those three words will define what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.
alot of people forget that this song was written at a time when americans were fighting for theyr freedom against tyranny....now, when i see the flag of america, i think of tyranny....our government and the people that support it, have destroyed america...this is no longer a land of the free, it is the land of oppressive government and dictatorship...a land where the government is the master, and the people are subjects of the master...the opposite of the america over 200 years ago
@longfootbuddy Really? SO 200 years ago, we were more free? Hmm, lets look at us 200 years ago. Slavery, blacks had no rights. Women were unable to vote. Whites had all the rights, but the minorities did not. If that is free, then we have something better.
@PatrioticEagle50 yes, white men had many more rights then than now..obviously blacks didnt because people considered them less than a man, likewise with indians and women...american history is scarred with hypocracy, but that in no way diminishes the idea that all men and women should be free from opression...and what we have today, is oppression...women and blacks were never given equal status with free white men, the white men just joined them by giving up theyr rights, and though our ...
@longfootbuddy could you please explain to me what rights we gave up? i mean in the history of the united states, the right to drink is the only one i can think of (prohibition) but that was repelled a LONG time ago
@longfootbuddy hate to break it too you but the legalization of weed has been debated for a while. my guess is it will be legalized, and taxed, sometime in the near future. just wait and see
@longfootbuddy no...YOUR the sad little man who hides out in his basement afraid the whole fucking world is out to get him. go outside, look up at the sky, go meet a girl at the bar, and be happy
@longfootbuddy ok mr. conspiracy theorist....please do tell me, how the government is out to get us. Im smart enough to know not to trust a politician, and also smart enough to know that a conspiracy theorist is soooo full of shit. I mean really. If you look at all your evidence, you will understand that your little conspiracy is just too damn complicated to ever work.
theres no reason to continue our communication, your a total putz, and theres nothing for me to talk about with you.. im not wasting time pointing out the obvious to you..you shithead, fuck off
@PatrioticEagle50 chains are now invisable to most...they are still chains of slavery...the government has gone from our servant and tool to protect our liberty, to our master and oppressor
@longfootbuddy I would say that we are more free now than we were 200 years ago simply due to the necessity of the civil rights movement but I would also have to say that I strongly feel that we are less free than we were 45 years ago and, unfortunately, 45 minutes ago. By the time you finish reading this message you are less free than when you began due to the impetus of strangling legislation.
That being said, I do love my country and I think that it is worth saving.
@longfootbuddy No, I understand your point but I was speaking to the entirety of Americans. We are still losing our freedoms. Look at the wiretap legislation they're trying to push through. Forgive me if I feel uncomfortable with the government mandating that private correspondence have a backdoor for them to access the content. Obama is pushing through a Bush flunky's plan and nobody gives a damn about it. I guess we should give them the keys to our homes too...you know...just in case.
Canada should build a similar Icon and call it the statue of equality or fraternity.
Canadas Goverments internenal commitments to human rights treaties and covenants etc... sucks ass below par at the present time so it wouldnt be fitting until after the next election.
un-nazifi the GovermentS of CANADA defacto Corporations 1st.
Then write down our constitution !
Make the law equal for all Canadians to know and understand .
Three things I like about this: 1) the far too seldom heard third stanza, my favourite of the anthem; 2) unlike so many "interpretations" before athletic events today, this rendition is appropriately dignified; 3) in the same vein, our last truly dignified president, a man of great character, Ronald Reagan.
@rduering59 Posting it? I made it. I put my grandpa's old black record together with this video I found at a second hand store to make this video. He would have liked it I think, I know.
@jbranstetter04 Could you remake it with all four stanzas? I've been looking for a video with all four verses of the Star Spangled Banner & I can't find one.
@tealblog Yes, I edited it together out of somewhat none related music and video that I had nothing to do with making, so you are right. I would like to thank ABC News and my grandpa's old LP, because without them, none of this would have been possible.
@AUDOIS11 Sorry to disappoint you, but he was one of our Presidents, and he was there at the event where the video was taken. I felt it best to leave him in it.
The original lyrics to this tune are HARD to sing.
"To Anacreon in heaven where he sat in full glee,
A few sons of harmony sent a petition, ..."
...but if you could sing it, you were sober enough to keep drinking! I think that's the coolest aspect of my countries anthem. ...Australia's is pretty cool also, though.
@Iltbsm I think they omit it because it has the phrase "In God is our trust." in it. Ive been looking for the full song as well. Send me a message if you find it, please.
Great footage from the Restoration of the Beautiful Lady!
I am not old enough quite to remember it when it happened (born '84, and it was started in '84, and completed in '86) but I have done a lot of research on the subject and on Lady Liberty herself.
It is nice to see the footage as I can use it to imagine what it must have been like

@Gvieto And all those evil Nazis fleeing at the end of WW2, something America would never dream of doing...harbouring fleeing Nazis, oh wait a minute I forgot.....they took in Wernher von Braun the Nazis rocket scientist who was responsible for devising ways of firing rockets at your allies and your soldiers based in UK, funny that isn't it america giving a Nazis asylum, makes you wonder why they didn't do the same with Josef Mengele (Dr Death) amd use his medical experience USA a joke state lol

@Gvieto No! you got it all wrong. It's plain and simple, america (with a small "a") are HYPOCRITES (large letters) because they instigated the Nuremberg trials and hung certain people because they were Nazis war criminals, but for pure selfish reasons they decided to harbourer a Nazis war criminal, ie: wohner von Braun and some of his assistants, therefore sacrificing the moral high ground to attain knowledge because americans are stupider than Germans....its simple.

@MindCrazedBanjo During war, you do what is best for your country, your people. That is common sense. If he had information that would help our country, then so be it. He made us have rockets. Yipee! We decided to help defend our country by having massive rockets that can kill you. Si vis pacem, para bellum. If you wish for peace, prepare for war.
PatrioticEagle50 1 year ago
@PatrioticEagle50 sounded good for a minute, but unfortunately for you the war had ended and your country gave asylum to a nazi war criminal inspite of the atrocities that he and his kind had carried out, no surprises there, since the usa is run by criminals who don't give a damn about morals. Strange how the simon wiesenthal brigade were allowed to seek out and bring to justice the rest of von brauns buddies, would have been strange if von braun had been in the court room when sentencing them.

@megatroll You compare the US to Nazi Germany in what way? Have we rolled our tanks into Europe or any other continent in order to take it as a prize? No we have not. What did we do with the biggest military, more powerful than that of the entire world combined after WWII? We freed and helped our former enemies of Japan and Germany become great democracies. What countries have we occupied and looted? Iraq? Not even close. We have spent billions of dollars and received not a drop of oil.

Yes, you've rolled into the middle east, asia as well as wide parts of Europe to install your bases. You didn't "free" anyone. That's the brainwash agenda you tools grow up with. You destroyed Germany and dropped nuclear bombs on Japan to flex your muscles for the Russians. You've occupied Iraq, Afghanistan, and many more. It's not about the oil you tool. It's about securing recources from the Russians and Chinese + Afghan opium fields.

I guess you don't care about facts, like the fact that 64% of Americans disagreed with the Iraq war in 2008. You must also be totally ignorant of the context of The Star Spangled Banner. It was a poem written in response to the "Defence of Fort McHenry" in 1814, when the USA was defending itself from the world's most powerful tyrant of the time, the colonial British Empire. They were fighting for their freedom back then, unlike today. Try to keep facts in context you tool.

@MindCrazedBanjo I fail to see what the number of friends someone has on YouTube has to do with their comment. I admit s/he could have phrased their comment better, but there is no need to be so rude.
I am not an American citizen but I would like to object to some points that you have made. Firstly, your insistence on a small letter 'a' in America. I do not understand why the capitalisation of the word America is so important to you, but it is only common decency to capitalise a country's name.
kuaispeed 9 months ago
@kuaispeed Also, your point about the Americans allowing Nazi criminals to live is a hypocritcal statement in itself. If we applied that logic to, say, the United Kingdom (your country, according to your profile), then the United Kingdom should be blamed for dumping opium in China, allowing the slave trade and kicking Winston Churchill (who helped them win WWII) out of his office.
Next, your claim that Americans are stupider than Germans. That is a pathetic attack based on a person's race.
kuaispeed 9 months ago
@kuaispeed Not all Americans are stupid and not all Germans are smart. It is illogical to claim that people of the country that invented things we take for granted, such as lightning rods, suspension bridges, fire hydrants, morse code and circuit breakers (all before 1890) produces idiots.
Also, you seem to object America granting asylum to Nazi war criminals. If everyone believed that, then everyone should hate Germany, Italy, Japan and all the other countries that supported the Axis Powers.
kuaispeed 9 months ago
@kuaispeed My next point is your claim that America is run by criminals who don't care about morals. If America truly did not care about morals, then President Obama would not be in the White House, all African-Americans would still be slaves and people would consider going to America the equivalent of living in Pakistan, Iraq or Afghanistan.
And if America were run by criminals, then why does America share a border with Canada without wars emerging every few years? Or still be considered safe?

@kuaispeed Also, you state "1 in 100 Americans are in jail[ ...] a government controlled media, lots and lots of so called national security agencies snooping in to all your telephone conversations and monitoring everything you do, and more people locked up than any other nation"
I believe TheSilversheath covered that point, so I shall simply ask for you to maybe, re-read it?
I am now brought to my next point. "Brainwashed nationalistic dimwits", really? Anyone would take offense to that.
