have you looked at Dr. Pauls voting record? He has consistently voted how he speaks. Im not sayin he would be perfect, but every time he answers a question it is in direct reference to the Constitution. Corprate media hate him and is essentially making a media blackout, cause they know he is a threat to this imperial monstrosity of federal Govt. we have allowed to grow out of controll unchecked, time to put it back in check.
It's high time we stop being the police force of the world, abolish the "free trade agreement", and just stay home for the next 20 years. It's time to put America First!
@dynamitemike65 Mexicans, taking American jobs, receiving welfare, food stamps, housing, health care, etc, all while being in the country illegally, breaking the one law that is not only look over and ignored, but is on it's way of being tossed out with an amnesty/work program. This should go well with the gov creating jobs for the unemployed "American" citizens you are losing their saving in the stock market, at the gas pump, and grocery store! Anthem should be 70's porn music, we're screwed!
We're building roads, bridges, sewer systems and electric grids in Iraq and other middle east cities, so much for our infrastructure we were promised in the change! They've gone from crappin outside to getting closer for indoor plumbing in some areas!
@Maples01, that's because the corporations were put in charge of the money supply thanks to Clinton and others (including Republicans) that repealed the Glass Steagall Act. The repeal of this act also cause the subprime mess or rather should I say allowed it.
@TheChineseEmpire Watching some news clips from the GW term, he mentioned the Fannie May and Freddy foundations needing some intervention, but was voted down, so he saw their poor business sheets congress and the senate felt that it was best the gov not put a stop to it and watch over them, a few years later and boom, they get bailed out.
I agree with the lyrics in this song why doesn't America help itself first just like the UK should be doing and FUCK THE REST OF THOSE OTHER COUNTRYS!
The song says it all ! We need America back. Like Yesterday. Love Haggard a very good man with a very big heart & haven't forgot his Root's or Troop's .
america first was a group of nazi sympathizers lead by charles lindberg in the early stages of ww2 that fought to prevent the united states from intervening, and worked on cutting deals with hitler to get a piece of what was left over in europe. Woody Guthrie wrote a song about them being terrible. and for some reason people think woody was a anti-american.
@mcboltron It was the largest antiwar organization in American history. Gore Vidal and Gerald Ford and Kurt Vonnegut were a part of it, there were socialists and liberals high-up in the organization for gods sakes (cause hell, if there's anything the damn commies are good for, its working the hardest to keep our boys out of foreign wars), it wasn't a Nazi front organization. John Fucking Kennedy (no disrespect to the man for the profanity, lolol) donated to them.
WOW I never heard this song befors,really cool song music and singing,I have enjoyed my listen,thumbs way up high fo sure my friend,wishing you well with a really super nice Day*******:)
@nomadak47 if there ends up being a 2nd American Civil War, it's probably going to be between the commies in the federal government plus whoever's actually pulling the strings there, and a good bit of the military and the general population. Will I fight? Hell yeah!!! The South will rise again and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Which we hope never come to place and it can still be resolved peacefully, cause its going to be ugly. But are you preparing should it come to that as The People taking the Nation back as specified in The Declaration of Independence.We are and we are preparing to do our duty when called on by the general citizenry.We will stand and Defend the Republic and thecitizens Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. We are U.S militia unorganized
I was born during the GREAT Depression, I'm tellin' you folks you think times are hard now just wait. It just might turn around in another 3-4 years. Better be savin' every penny you can. You're gonna need it.

We messed up when we started calling the US a Democracy aka Mob rule. We need our Republic back. aka Rule of Law. yes it may still be better than some of europe, but compared to the freedoms we have had and lost in exchange for security. We are headed down the slippery slope to oligarchy or worse. Washington and Jefferson, Madison, and Adams would be turning in their graves at US in the last 20 years.(Hanging head in somber)
@Cjaz84 "It used to be okay to be an isolationist"
Depends on how far you go back in history. The term "America First" was used in the '30s as a Fascist-sympathizing tool. WWII was a necessary war that we dragged our feet to engage in. We could have save many millions of lives if we acted faster to help save Europe.
Of course, we've had nothing like that since. The "terrorism" threat is bogus, manufactured hysteria. We need a new New Deal now. We must get off this "wartime economy" addiction.
@AlmeLoco0546 haha, cool man, not. if you're anti-american, atleast take sympathy with a folk-singer who's trying to change. don't just make dumb ass comments. silly troll.
@capitalcontested its not dumb. its the quickest solution to world peace ever. thats not dumb...im a fuckin genius man you better recognize haha asshole
@qball090872 That should be our SLOGAN, and this song should be OUR National Anthem for a while. There is so much poverty, and it's NOT from a lack of trying. But in all honesty, sad to say, Those Types Will NEVER care about us blue collar crowd.... Maybe ONE DAY, but I doubt I'll be here to see it!! God Bless brother.....
@qball090872 No money for it, we have to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan when our military is through emptying the piggy bank shooting at the enemy, which happens to be 89% of the population there! Forgot Libya, they get a new government and country thanks to us, built back better than the turd was during Qaddafi's rein, we'll pay for that too with money we borrow from China and Russia. Working on a global economy by mortgaging the USA to every country across the globe!
@photolitherland Who are the true whores? I think you have short term memory loss. Do you remember the bailouts to the auto mfgs, the banks, the massive unread healthcare bill, the worthless stimulus package. Yeah the democrats are doing a real bang up job. They single handedly stole the American dream from futrue generations and replaced it with a huge bill to pay back instead. Love their stand on illegal immagration too. The sooner the liberals are off the planet the better. They divide us.
@photolitherland The Democrats won the house and the senate in 2006 and the have shamed the White House since 2008. The country has fallen a great deal in that time. So hug a tree and kiss my ass. The dems have had total control. How has it worked out.
@onton1taly I'm with you brother. We just had an election and the tide is turning. The word must be put out there for people to here. Pay attention and take note to what these liberals are doing and want to change to the core of our country. They have a whole different concept from democracy. They want to control every aspect of your life. They do not believe in achievement or success. They believe in taking away from those who have and giving to those who chose not to achieve.
I say, "ship everyone that was not born in the USA,or is a legal citizen, back to where ever it is they came from". I mean Doctors, Nurses, Students that came here on a student's visa then never return, go back to where the hell you came from.
take care our own people. Take the jobs from China, Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, Phillipines, and every other country and get our pepole back on the jobs.
Stop taking their homes. STOP WELFARE. OH JUST HAVE ANOTHER BABY, GET MORE WELFARE MONEY.
Straight and to the point, Merle. You've never been one to mince words.
America has been hijacked by the ultrarich and the multinationals. The American people, who built and bled for a great nation, have been robbed of their rightful heritage. Restore democracy.
finally someone said what had to be said but everything was afraid to say. I am not against helping prople but who is helping America. if only the right people will listen.
it's a sad day when our men and women returning from war have no jobs to come home to. these "sell-outs" who are sending our young men and womens jobs to china, mexico, and southeast asia need to go first! America First means America First...not "i just saved a nickel or a few pennies". when WE start thinking as one nation again, WE will truly be one nation under God again. let's stop catering to the whiny-assed needs of immigrants who won't even take the time to learn our adopted language!
@footballgusto72 and now they are indebted to the countries they exploited for their own gain. and now who do they ask to "bail" them out? THE PEOPLE of the
Thanks to Merle for this song, each and everyone of us is the government here in America not the politicians that are elected, make our votes count towards improving America, we can get back to the America it should be and can be and will be. I pray that we can live the years left to see this happen for our grandchildren and everyone elses. Our country is on a wrong path those that were elected need to wake up and really make a CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
That's nice Tinytina789, but we gotta stop reaching out of our country. Our forefathers warned us about entangling alliances, we gotta get back to our roots and look out for ourselves from now on.
Maybe we wouldn't be in so much debt if we stopped sending our money to other nations overseas. Invest America's money in America and let other countries get up off their butts and make something for themselves like we did.
Lets rebuild America, If you can't respect Lady Liberty and the US flag, go somewhere that you can respect. Let the rest of the world go to hell, rebuild America first.
Let's face it - Merle is my all-time - ALL TIME - favorite artist. He's ben through thick and thin and I have a lot of respect for him. God bless you, Merle !
Okie from muskogee ,means a lot of things, it the soul of the americans ! thet great country ,it's changing !! a lot of invasion will ,knock out for good te coutry, The states must be wasp in majority
@pycargue i think you misunderstood the song, boy. I'm not a wasp, and I don't think that was the message. You white nationalist protestant. North germany is to the east, if you'd like to go. that's where your reformation got started. I like the secular states. thanks though. you theocratic, anti-constitutional idiot.
*sigh* too many fascist don't know what merl is saying. don't say, :F- the rest of the world". for you "christians" don't point out the thorn in other peoples eye's, until you see the plank in your own. or however the saying goes.
Enough is enough we should just give a damn about us first they want nothing but our help and money and them shit all over are country and values and turn their back when we don't want to help.
God Bless America and God Bless Merle Haggard~~~ Merle has always been for the working man and is a true American patriot. I am so proud we have men like him....Thank you Merle.. This is quite the song but i love all of your songs.
i was with him cept the get out of iraq thing, lets support our troops as they fight for our freedom and safety in iraq and afghanistan and other places, some of them even secret ops, our soldiers are constantly in hams way to get at the terrorists who keep planning attacks against us
What is this stupid ass liberal bullshit? What a pro-terrorist anti-American song. He probably supports the nazi ron paul, what a loser liberal merle haggard is.
This song tells the truth in the lyrics that Merle Haggard wrote, but sadly it was not given much airplay as needed. I say enough with the bail outs and stop outsourcing to other countries to save on labor cost. I say buy what is made in the USA to support American, not China.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@patsaxon Fuck that shit! I say outsource everything! Being an elite lawyer from New York I only drive foreign, eat french food, and fuck fine ass Asian bitches. My Japanese girl is the shit and this country is service country now, not a manufacturing one. God bless corporate America for moving jobs like that overseas where labor is much cheaper.
@blackdragon767 wow your a fuckin moron elite lawyer haha bullshit your just a loser with no life anyone can be anything online man just fuck off everyday you log on to a damn 10 year old mac in your moms basement so dont act like you got anything prolly drive an old hundai prolly eat fast food everynight so i hope your getting everyones change right from behind the counter
well sir have you gone undercover and talked with these people and found out what they believe? no? I did not think so........... I have and you sir are unaware of what is going on.
With the CIA. There was a popular coup in 1958 against the incumbent monarchy by Abd al-Karim Qasim. Qasim was popular with the people especially as he started nationalising important resources such as oil production. This policy was not popular with countries which had commercial interests in Iraq. In 1959 there was a failed assassination attempt on Qasim by a young Saddam Hussein. In 1963 an assassination attempt succeeded this time organised by the CIA which resulted in Saddam gaining power.
WE as Americans take the word Freedom to mean "do what pleases me and to hell with everyone else". we seem to have forgotten how to think and do for ourselves as a nation. lest we forget, UNITED WE STAND!
How can any country be better off with someone who will intentionally gas his own people just to keep them in line. With what i personally saw in Desert Storm no child should ever have to go through that. Unfortunately the biased news media will not tell the whole truth about the way it actually was and is over there.
Look I know first hand whats going on in iraq and a major reason why we are over there its not just for oil or for freeing the people, the terrorists threaten your every day lives and without us over there they get stronger and smarter......they hate us and our religions.
Are you talking about the NON-EXISTENT A.Q. presence in Iraq Pre-invasion? Would that be the same A.Q. whose leader, Bin Laden, proclaimed a death sentence on EVERY secular Muslim leader, INCLUDING Saddam? Might you be thinking of the same A.Q. that Saddam would have nothing to do with whatsoever?
Is those the "terrorists" you're bloviating about?
Hate to tell you, you were lied to by Bush and Cheney and Rice and Rumsfeld and Powell.
'm with Hag, the hell with Iraq, we have many of our own people hurting here in the good o'le USA. I agree it is time to buy American and the hell with all these foriegn cars I see on the roads!

@photolitherland The Democrats won the house and the senate in 2006 and the have shamed the White House since 2008. The country has fallen a great deal in that time. So hug a tree and kiss my ass. The dems have had total control. How has it worked out.

@onton1taly I'm with you brother. We just had an election and the tide is turning. The word must be put out there for people to here. Pay attention and take note to what these liberals are doing and want to change to the core of our country. They have a whole different concept from democracy. They want to control every aspect of your life. They do not believe in achievement or success. They believe in taking away from those who have and giving to those who chose not to achieve.

What is so wrong with taking care of America and Americans?! Nobody else is looking to help our country!

I say, "ship everyone that was not born in the USA,or is a legal citizen, back to where ever it is they came from". I mean Doctors, Nurses, Students that came here on a student's visa then never return, go back to where the hell you came from.
take care our own people. Take the jobs from China, Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, Phillipines, and every other country and get our pepole back on the jobs.
Stop taking their homes. STOP WELFARE. OH JUST HAVE ANOTHER BABY, GET MORE WELFARE MONEY.

Straight and to the point, Merle. You've never been one to mince words.
America has been hijacked by the ultrarich and the multinationals. The American people, who built and bled for a great nation, have been robbed of their rightful heritage. Restore democracy.

it's a sad day when our men and women returning from war have no jobs to come home to. these "sell-outs" who are sending our young men and womens jobs to china, mexico, and southeast asia need to go first! America First means America First...not "i just saved a nickel or a few pennies". when WE start thinking as one nation again, WE will truly be one nation under God again. let's stop catering to the whiny-assed needs of immigrants who won't even take the time to learn our adopted language!

Thanks to Merle for this song, each and everyone of us is the government here in America not the politicians that are elected, make our votes count towards improving America, we can get back to the America it should be and can be and will be. I pray that we can live the years left to see this happen for our grandchildren and everyone elses. Our country is on a wrong path those that were elected need to wake up and really make a CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

This song tells the truth in the lyrics that Merle Haggard wrote, but sadly it was not given much airplay as needed. I say enough with the bail outs and stop outsourcing to other countries to save on labor cost. I say buy what is made in the USA to support American, not China.

With the CIA. There was a popular coup in 1958 against the incumbent monarchy by Abd al-Karim Qasim. Qasim was popular with the people especially as he started nationalising important resources such as oil production. This policy was not popular with countries which had commercial interests in Iraq. In 1959 there was a failed assassination attempt on Qasim by a young Saddam Hussein. In 1963 an assassination attempt succeeded this time organised by the CIA which resulted in Saddam gaining power.

How can any country be better off with someone who will intentionally gas his own people just to keep them in line.

@davidcsgt What terrorists are these, then?
Are you talking about the NON-EXISTENT A.Q. presence in Iraq Pre-invasion? Would that be the same A.Q. whose leader, Bin Laden, proclaimed a death sentence on EVERY secular Muslim leader, INCLUDING Saddam? Might you be thinking of the same A.Q. that Saddam would have nothing to do with whatsoever?
Is those the "terrorists" you're bloviating about?
Hate to tell you, you were lied to by Bush and Cheney and Rice and Rumsfeld and Powell.
