So Lucky to be an American - Baxter Black

[TheOceanVibe]

I always say how lucky American people are.All the time i wish i was born and grown up in the US, but it is not so :( Some times i even close my eyes for a couple of seconds and say that when i open them all my pain and trouble will be over because i will be in the beautiful America !

When i open my eyes what i see is me in the mirror dreaming about my future in America,but as you can see i am only 14 and i'm a Greek living in Germany...Sometimes i feel like everything in my life is so wrong :'(

[N330AA]

@TheOceanVibe My friend, America is a very good place blessed with land and resources that would make a W.European country weep. However, if you are not grateful for living in a highly developed and prosperous country like Germany, you do not deserve a life.

[donawyo]

Luv it, except 4 this isn't "as good as it gets." We--who have repented, turned from living our own self-centered way to following the ways of our Creator God; having put our trust in Jesus, who was born of the virgin Mary, lived the sinless life for us, then on the Cross took the punishment that we deserved from God because of our sins, & then died, was buried for 3 days, rose 2 be with God & gave us His righteousness so we can 2---we know true Heaven is still to come. Repent & trust & join us.

Terrific Moustache. I have subscribed to your channel. Just love the Western culture.

[highcountryhal]

Well said.

[nonwo10]

the U.S. FBI and CIA has known about operation Bojinka, 3d phase 9/11, since at least 1995. How could 19 Arabs do that w/ the FBI & intelligence community knowing the plan? How could the twin towers and Building #7 come down the manner that it did without assistance of controlled demolition?

[TheRetronGamer]

14 people are terrorists

[TheRetronGamer]

F-ing beautiful

[nonwo10]

I pray to God everyday that it would be as this cowboy says it is. Just the opposite is true. Those U.S. servicemen in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan are all war criminals participating in aggressive war. U.S. law forbads aggressive war.

9/11 was an inside job, the official story line is a conspiracy. Impossible when one objectively examines the evidence.

[jimbritttn]

@nonwo10 "Inside Job"??? 9/11 was an act by MUSLIMS and ALL MUSLIMS are enemies since they do NOTHING to stop the terrorists! They are just like Nazi, not every Nazi gassed Jews but they allowed it to continue. NON2010, YOU ARE A FOOL AND PROBABLY WORSHIP ADOLF OBAMA!

[1SGPARKER]

You will never know just how great America truly is until you see the other countries in the world. Baxter is right on the mark with this video. Sadly, many Americans have absolutely no idea just how terrible life can be without freedom and God. I have been around the world 3 or 4 times in my career in the US Army and I can attest to the fact that we Americans have it right. Let's not lose it all now due to economic collapse based on corporate greed and political misconduct.

Next time you meet a soldier, thank him for your freedom. Thank him for his service. Thank him for putting his or her life on hold to keep us free and safe here at home.

I ride with a group of patriots who do just that. Please join me and thousands of others across the USA by visiting this link.

[tgaskl5573]

How could anybody DIS like this????

[Paul2uall]

@tgaskl5573

Maybe anybody that isn't an american and doesn't live under the delusion that the USA is the happiest place on earth!

:)

[psychomoore]

thanks for making LC look bad.

[ficklemcpickle]

Well we have a great country, but we also have many things to answer for. Other citizens of this world are not as in love with us as we are with ourselves. We need to look honestly at what and who we are, and blind patriotism is not the way to do that. And apart from international matters, we need to ensure that it is the people that are in control, and not Corporate America and the wealthy, and that justice applies to all equally, and that reason rules instead of ideology. Then we can be proud.

[azidiot99]

@ficklemcpickle Now this is a great reply. I hope folks read and heed it.

Stop watching ane believing Fox News - they are nothing but a Fear Factory, spreading lies and Propaganda.

If you do not believe this, take the time to do a web search on the following

** Fox News, lies, Florida 2003 **

Read about the landmark court case that gave Fox (and all the others) the right to LIE on News programs because "News is just a form of entertainment" one of the most Unreported stories of the decade.

[CherokeeCharli]

I hear you man. Go USA !!!

[terris1958]

So eloquently said, my friend! 

[ThomasPrendergast]

Hello Baxter.......I just moved to Wyoming. I have been a displaced cowboy most of my adult life as I married a little rich city girl and found myself in a condo in San Diego. Long story, but she ran off with the horse trainer.

I went broke during that divorce and I am rebuilding my life here in Wyoming. I have similar feelings as this video when I am on my deck at the end of the day feeling blessed to be on my ranch.

Thomas Prendergast

[TheHorsenation]

Baxter is lucky to have such a nice Ranch indeed.

America was made as a great country, but has been taken over by globalist traitors.

Now it is no longer a beacon of hope but an engine for war and famine.

Take back your country from these traitors!

I should listen to this everyday!

[AcePilot2009]

God bless America., with love from Canada.

[mark695847]

God Bless You.

[TheCalifBeachBum]

Very well put, Baxter!

[jgrell7642]

You sure can't argue with that!

[GatorsFan]

God Bless America, God Bless us all.

[jsnip4]

We have been riding the coat tails of our government just as the Roman people did 2,000 years ago. When times are good, we have a great lifestyle (at other peoples expense) we dont care and we are all patriotic and wave our flags around and yell support our troops just as they did 2,000 years ago in Rome. When the joy ride is over, it erupts in a violent revolution and people start blaming their government and its militarys actions which caused the collapse of our great society.

[jsnip4]

Its all about getting our hands on the oil which is why 3 American oil companies now have all the oil contracts in Iraq. We forced OPEC to buy and sell oil using US Dollars since the early 1970s and now that deal is over as of 2009. That also means, our lavish lifestyles are about to end. America uses 25% of the entire worlds resources yet we make up a tiny portion of the global population.

[jsnip4]

Wait until hes out of a job and his house is repossessed. Or if he has a job, wait until he has to work 3 jobs to pay all these new taxes. The America hes talking about is the America that lasted from 1776 until around 1900. In 1913 we got the international bankers private bank, known as the Federal Reserve and since that time our dollar has went down in value over 95%. I also believe the whole thing about our troops fighting in the middle east to keep us free over here is complete BS.

[LVSaddleTramp]

@jsnip4 I work two jobs and as many side jobs as I can,This is america Jack...opportunity is the key word,forgive my spelling im just a dumb hick..GOD BLESS AMERICA

[jsnip4]

@LVSaddleTramp Reminds me of a speech George Bush Jr gave when he was President and a little old lady commented to him on the microphone and said, "I have to work 3 jobs." Bush's reply? "Truly American, truly American." Why work even 2 jobs, you can just open a bank and create money out of thin air to loan to people and if they don't pay it back you get the collateral/house etc. If you run out of money the government will replenish your vault full and the little old lady w 3 jobs will pay for it

[LVSaddleTramp]

@jsnip4 Did you lose everything?I have a couple of times..but it was my fault..not the bank or the Feds.....

[jsnip4]

@LVSaddleTramp Nope, I've been preparing well in advance, since 2007. Silver and gold will be th only thing to hedge against the greatest depression known to mankind which has already begun. All the things I have studied which people ridiculed me for are proving to be superior to everything and everyone else out there. The sheep/herd is about to be culled so to speak.

[LVSaddleTramp]

@jsnip4 Hmmm...heard this before....well i might trade you a pound of gold for a gallon of water(Im on a well)gold is as good as lead for casting bullets(for hunting food and protection)or I may let you have a few ears of corn for the silver..if its going to be as bad as you say...shiny stuff aint worth squat.Water and food will be,sooo I may take pity on you and give some water and food so you can count your gold and silver a while longer....

[jsnip4]

@LVSaddleTramp No need, keep it. I have a hydroponic stacker system which can grow 240 crops in a 10x10 space. I also have a solar panel system with a battery backup for part of my house. When gold and silver become worth waaaay more than they are now is when I'll sell mine. Long before gold and silver become worthless (according to you) even though throughout thousands of years of history, gold and silver never became worthless, not even one time. Having said that, I'm fully prepared.

[LVSaddleTramp]

@jsnip4 Good, at least you act and not just talk..sounds like a good system,really enjoyed the  talk,Good Luck to you

[gatorsrgr808]

AMEN AND BLESS YOU!!!

[Rachna888]

this is such beautiful clip ty for posting this

[MuleSkinninMama]

Our one of a kind and favority Cowboy Poet and story teller of all time... you continue to top yourself over and over again! This has tears rolling down my cheeks... you are so elloquent... and it so obviously comes straight from your heart... and hits mine.  Well done ole' cowboy, well done.

[dbanta53]

Thank you so much for saying what I would like to say. My son is serving in our military and I am proud of him and ALL the others that serve to protect our freedom.

[drybritches4u]

In other words, our soldiers are risking their lives for nothing becuase they are coming home to a nation that votes away it's individual freedoms for freebies.

Our nation is the most unique in the fact that we the people have the power to keep individual freedom yet amazingly enough we vote it away for preceived value in gifts, fraudulent enviromental myths, and some charm. Free from me, free from you. Federal Govt. control isn't FREE!

[drybritches4u]

Yes, we owe our soldiers a thank you every day. We also need to understand that is our physical freedom they defend. We also are supposed to have individual freedoms. Right now, politicians think they can remove our individual freedoms and replace them with responsibilities and govt. control. Anybody who suppports an agenda that removes individual freedom and replaces it with govt. control is the internal enemy of this nation. Who are you going to vote for?

[markymcclellan]

America is great!- no doubt about it- from sea to shining sea. governed by the people and for the people. We also have the worlds largest Military Industrial Complex- making billions off of wars that tear apart people-countries and civilizations. I don't mind when people have national pride but when people bad mouth positive/forward thinking individuals that are trying to help the meek (yes- that's a christian moral) I wonder where their heads are at.

[DustyBalz]

Bax,

Well said sir and Thank You!

God Bless America!

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

How are you so awesome?

My parents introduced me to your work when I was quite young, and I'm so thankful for that.

Thank you!

[S2k2k3]

Well anybody who doesn't agree with this video take heart. Obama is fixing every little thing that's wrong with this country. It won't be long till we're no longer free to worship or live our lives as we see fit. It won't be long till we're all "taken care of". We'll all be enjoying complete government "protection" over every aspect of our lives. Yes my socialist friends, Amerika is coming. Don't you worry.

[TheWolverine1968]

ur a retard and so is obama

[S2k2k3]

yes, well I believe my sarcasm may have escaped you...

[backupcoolm3n]

fuck you

[francoamerican111]

S2k2k3, I am afraid you are right. Young people especially, but all who voted for Obama have mistakenly thought that the change he promised would be for the better. Unfortunately, they were and are wrong. I don't know what kind of education this man Baxter has, but he has more common sense and superior values of life then Obama will ever have. Hopefully this man as will the rest of us see our country survive the destruction of our country that Obama has in store for it.

[garydobbs]

Man ignore the naysayers - those words came from the heart.

[uckfayushbay]

Hey Bax...

I hate to break it to you, but 'America' is pretty freakin' retarded. Between California and NY there are millions of dopey, racist cowboys still reeling from the unthinkable -- a black President. We may have finally gotten right. I just hope it's not too late. Obama has inherited a train wreck from 'Dopey & Friends'. Also, 'war on terror'? Looks like you bought it all along with the other idiots out there. WIthout truth, there's no difference between patriotism and terrorism.

[costa7810]

My recommendation is to banish your self to any number of countries whos values are more inline with yours. Need help finding them...? Just look to any goverment we are currently bombing, applying pressure to or otherwise putting back in check. You should feel more at home there. Take your valueless values with you. G. Papadakis

[uckfayushbay]

My recommendation to you is to go back to school and learn how to write before try to post something again. Our education system has failed you. I'm sorry. I wish I could help you. Not good, Costa.

[superkray]

uckfayushbay:

If there is one reason why America is "retarded" it's because racist idiots like you are willing to mindlessly follow the new Pres (aka Messiah) simply because he's black. In actuality, Obama is the new Hitler; a man who enjoys undeserved popularity thanks to the mindless masses who are entranced by his oration despite the fact that there is no substance to his words, except for the lies hidden within them. Do something for your country - wash your mouth out with buckshot.

[markymcclellan]

Real nice! I believe that you yourself are blinded by some negative light and hate. Just look at your words then check history books. Obama has done more as a civilian (pre president) for the people than most presidents to date. He espouses a true christian philosophy of loving thy brother than most -especially G W Bush!- and you call him the new Hitler????- I think it's sour grapes my friend.

[drlove99999]

Are u out of ur fuckin mind??...What planet do u come from??...obama has done NOTHING, is NOTHING, and never will be anything except a fraud president systematically destroying our country brick by brick..He hates white people and he hates christians..Your statment that he espouses true christianity is blasphemous..How dare u say such shit in public!!..obama is satans minion..He praises and lauds islam and the muslim religion while disrespecting christians worldwide...Wake up u idiot!!!

[markymcclellan]

Well well well- another planet you say? You sound like you come from the planet HATE- You call yourself a Christian then cuss at me with foul language-spout racist remarks and WOW you used the words "blasphemous" and "shit" in the same paragraph. The hate that comes out of your mouth is Satan's- if there is truly a Satan-

[francoamerican111]

drlove99999 is right. Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to our country. Carter was bad enough, but not this bad. You say Obama did a lot for this country as a civilian, like what? He help found ACORN which is one of the most crooked organizations around. Watch the news!

Obama is a sympathizer of the murderous Islam nations. He is not a true Christian. Look at his family preacher of twenty years, so-called Rev. Wright. He is another America hater.

[surrealisitnot]

I always say that I feel like I hit the lottery, just to have been born here. Think of all the horrible situations I could have been born into. Many people in this country dont realize how good they have it. I see these phony protesters putting down this country and then driving daddies bmw to starbucks. I guess some people are so spoiled by being American that they can never understand what it would be like to have not been born here.

[mcap52]

@surrealisitnot Those people you talk about that protest and then drive their parents car to StarBucks have never worn a military uniform,have never put their life on the line for another human being or for their country.They think only about ME....ME....ME.....I would like to take them to Afghanistan with me as soon as I recover....they would step back on American soil and kiss the ground.

[tenzingyatso]

I think it's important to understand that " protesting" whether you agree with it's context or not, is an essential component of any democracy's freedoms. You might not agree with what they are protesting against, but the fact that they are able to without being arrested or killed speaks volumes, and we should all be proud they can do it. No issue is black and white. That level of comprehension is for simpletons alone. We must look between the lines and peel back the layers for real truth.

[EJsigstrat]

After watching the evening news then reading a few of the ridiculously negative, irresponsible and downright ignorant posts regarding this video, it can be surely stated that the grand experiment of United States of America is officially over. You know your country is lost when true patriots are thrown up for ridicule by the masses. What manner of imbecilic, insolent, human waste could dare disrespect another American man for his patriotism. Simply traitorous.

Give me liberty...

[senoron1]

why did u put this on u tube

[rhettski999]

fucked up...

[smokedeganja]

this guy is fuckin oldschool, good on yeah homie!

[AZAngel18]

Thank you Baxter, life is what you make it. If you see poverty or injustice, do something about it. And for the haters, don't just come out from under your rock to tell Americans how to be American, we already know.

[sld454]

well as near as i can tell life is what you make it. some people have a negative outlook so ofcourse they will have a negtive life.i like the way baxter sees things. he says a lot of things i feel but dont know how to express very well,keep up the good work bax.

[stevesanbernardino]

What's wrong with you idiots that critisize this man and what he says. You obviously don't love this Country and obviously never served in the military. Go to Cuba. Maybe you will like it better there.

[geardriven]

Boy, this guy lives in his own little bubble. Hey Baxter, bothered to look beyond your tranquil domain lately??

[SueMN]

U ever bother to look beyond your own negative dismal life. I think you just want to blame others for your failures. Get over yourself. Or are you just waiting for someone to bail you out.

[JFingers1]

Are you delusional or do you live in a closet? Are you blind? Deaf or living in a vacuum?.

You have not a clue to what has happened in this so called country. This country has been taken down, a coup de tat took place and you're still pie in the sky with a flag wrapped around your shoulders.

No wonder we are screwed as a nation. Do you think those idiots on CNNBCFOXABCBS are providing you with any truthful info.

Study what happened in Russia, the Bolsheviks, its happened here in the good ole USA

[sealink44]

'Merica!!!

[angelvoyce]

This is great... to express gratitude and to be grateful for all the things we could so easily take for granted. Thanks for the reminder.

[myiqisinfinity]

wooo!!! America!!

[TheManFromAcme]

Baxter has no political agenda, at least not in this piece. All he's reflecting on is on the honor and privilege it is to be an American. Nothing more. Nothing less. And to honor those who have fallen and given the ultimate sacrifice for us to be here at this very moment. If EVERY American took at least 30 seconds of their day to reflect on this, hearing the Star Spangled Banner would give you a new meaning. Fools who want to make this political don't get, won't get it an NEVER WILL.

USA!

[ibbetsonusa]

That was touching

[jbjumpback]

I would bet that JFingers has never for one day been greatful for or happy about anything . That must be HELL on earth...feel sorry for such small miserable people.

[JFingers1]

Nice sentiments, if they were only true. If you are out on your veranda removed from reality, then how can you be sure you are 'free'. The Chinese think they are free.

The military is sworn to defend the constitution from foreign and domestic enemies, why are we fighting for transnational corporate profit under the deception of the fraudulent Global War on Terror? Why do billions go to Israel and our vets are out in the streets? This is freedom? Illusion is not freedom. Like the pottery though.

[FatherAlbert]

Remember that this is Baxter Black's truth. His reality is very different from yours and mine. He does represent a large segment of the population who have good intentions but don't see all the poverty and aggression and greed that permeate this world. Perception is reality. We must pray for those whose perception ends at the end of their nose.

[SueMN]

Get off your butt (putting it nicely as I am a lady) and go do something. Or GO MOVE somewhere you think is better...You are a part of the problem or a part of the solution. Which are you. I think you are a whiney bitch

[geardriven]

This is all typical Republican whitewash. "The ship is sinking.....but oh, isn't that a lovely sunset".

Negative dismal life? Blame others for my failures? Where did that come from?

Hey Lady, America used to stand for something to the world. No more. Dissent is true Patriotism!

[Tinman313]

Salute !!!! Thank You..... from a Vet !!

[MillerMeteor74]

You're telling the truth, Brother. Thanks for a very nice video tribute to being an American.

[mark4tk]

war on terror keeps us alive

FOOL

[Zackrocks2006]

Amen.

[stupidbliss23]

cowdogpuppies?

[Dremwolf]

Mr. Black thank you for sharing this so that all of us that love this Country can see it.

[mikesuarez65]

Comparing Bush to Clinton, Adams and Jefferson shows wilful ignorance of the events of the last 8 years. Mr. Black tries to legitimize such ignorance by implying that our troops who have died in Iraq were fighting in the war on terror. They weren't. They were fighting to keep themselves and their comrades alive after being sent, underequipped and in insufficient numbers, into an unnecessary war for the benefit of the greediest people in history. Hiding that behind the flag is dispicable.

[MikeE85500]

You disgust me

[halbie71]

So true, we are so lucky to live in a country where we have one of the highest living standards.

[smallvillesam62]

Blah blah blah

[RandalSmith]

Thanks Baxter, for saying what all of us here in America need to hear.

[sld454]

amen Baxter!

[nogotta9]

No one has said it better and your thankfulness inspires us to be our best. Thanks, pard.

[popeyekds]

Baxter And Waddie, my favs

[chipmanr]

Well said. We should all take the time to give our thanks for the blessing of freedom.

[contrastlawn]

Wonderful! Thanks so much.

[pookybaby2]

Now that was one of the BEST video's I've seen in a long, long time! Thank you! I am so proud to be an American and this little clip makes it all hit home, I feel grateful to fly my American flag everyday! God Bless America!

[HippiesRbad]

that was fucking beautiful! Also im am soo greatful no Anti-US priks are here ruining this video!

[sysin1]

Sincere & well spoken. I concur 100%

[HDbiikerchick]

Beautiful. I feel the same.

[Married2aMARINE]

Thanks Baxter...couldn't have said it better myself!

[alvamar2673]

Fantastic! Thanks Baxter!!

[weezlemum]

Yeap, and bet he thanks a soldier everytime he sees one! do you??

[pianogirl97]

I do thank not only members of our awesome military, but also members of the police force (local, State) and those who put out our fires for their service to our communities and our Country. For the month of December, I'm giving up most of my treats at Starbucks and using the money to buy $15 gift cards to hand out to the Salvation Army bell ringers when I see one outside the grocery stores I go to...just a small thanks to them for their service to another great organization.

[digenite]

Makes me proud. The man knows how to tell the truth.

[banjoe67]

Down right awesome and right on the money. Thanks Baxter!
