I disagree that we need it the most. People in africa, india, and numerous countries are being opressed, beaten and stripped of tgeir human rights.
Although, I do agree that we should build America first. If we cant help ourselves, how are we going to help others. " theres things to be done all over the world but lets rebuild America first"- Merle Haggard.
Gr8, I am fully aware of the status of our political system and I am also fully aware of Ron Paul's message. That is precisely why I refer to him as a political hack.
Ron Paul is no less a political hack than the rest of those clowns up there in Washington. Ask him why he is still a Republican instead of an Independent if he's so independent. He and his moron son are both hacks.
@Jeb1945 Youo bviously know nothing about the political system and how it has been hijacked by two parties. If your not in you get completely ignored. This way at least he has a platform and he can be in the debates to inform others. And that is what it is about, waking up americans to what is happening with their money and freedoms. Wake up. also, if you look at the platform of the Republican party and to notwhat the Republicans have done with it, it has thefoundationthat Ron Paul stands for.
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........
I think our politicians who seem unable and unwilling to help this country--should listen and pay attention to this song. Instead of worrying about themselves
even though Merle, Waylon, Johnny, Kris, and George (strait and jones) are the greats of Country and of couse the true definition of country music....we cant talk shit about modern country because these guys are the only ones representing us right now.....lets not have a civil war between classic and modern country....lets get together and say fuck all yall yankees...and fuck that rap shit...
America needs help first? Puhlease, go and buy yourself a perspective. Take a look at how some people live in other countries with barely enough to eat and drink and shelter themselves and their families.
You seem to be the one with the most skewed pespective here. Sure we should help the poor.....blah,blah, blah...and you sound a lot like some high ranking DC politicians who would love to help the poor, but at our expense, cetainly NOT their own or their limo liberal friends. People with the view that you maintain are the reason that the USA is no longer the number one World Power, chump!!.. It is now China, which owns most of the USA!!
God bless america again we need to put america first again instead of rebuilding foreign countries, lets rebuild america. PS Our private charities can help the rewst of the world.
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

@CEOkiller Believe it or not the original tea party (not the 1776 one but the recent one) was pro america, it was a reaction to what is happening in Washington. So what happened? They tried to take it over and roll it into the GOP. That didn't work so they tried to buy it out, that didn't work either. Next they started there own and split off from the original, a fake bought and paid for by the elite, and the original, which is small and fading. So the average man lost again.
Once in the past, americans only looked for each other in these lands and didn't even look back to Europe or Asia. That's what made US the best country, but now it's the opposite. That's why America is self destructing

Merle thanks for having the guts to put out a song like this. When is America going to start taking care of America. How can we solve the worlds problems when we can't solve our own.
wake up america!!!!!!!!!LETS ROUND up these moslems and throw them out with their stinking mosqus and evil so called religancome to nyc and see them in action and a sellout mayor who panders to them
Can't anyone just enjoy music anymore...come on friends...we need to pull together...this country is fading and if you don't see it you just aren't lookin' in the right places so don't belittle each other....Pull this country back together again !!!
Happy new year America, and thank you for taking a stand against terrorism and threats to freedom and free speach. My grandfathers fought for freedom in Finland, against the Sovjet union in the winterwar, and if there ever was a nation, other than my fatherland, that i wanted to live in, it would be your fine country that gave the world so much. God bless You.
I take this song to heart because I know what needs to be done. I'm ex-military and a retired cop out of the Houston area...don't tell ME I don't know what the hell is going on!! 48% of America is dumber than a sack of hammers, and the other 52% don't stand up and fight. O'Bama WILL be known throughout history as the one who brought down America! Bush? What about him...he's an ex-President and has no say here and now.
A friend of mine who served in Afghanistan said if Americans knew what was going on there they would be furious.He told me we are building schools,houses,paving roads,drilling community water wells and installing municipal water systems and sewage treatment plants. They are also building an afghan army,giving them uniforms,weapons,ammunition,computer systems,radar, helicopters,building military basis etc. We are falling to pieces while YOUR dollars are building nations abroad. Wonderful!
@k4u1963 The problem is that Americans DO know what is going on there, as well as what is going on here. I don't know why, but they turn a deaf ear to it and act like it's someone elses problem. God bless your military friend for his service! Outstanding!!!
God bless you for sharing this truth, americans need to hear the truth. I think our polititians cry poverty so our people won't look at where our tax money is going.
@weidow1 Hey, I love the music...listen to more than my share most of the time. You'll have to pardon me...I'm a Patriot...American...and a lover of 'Old Glory"...and always prepared to fight and die for my Country and our way of life.
@01indianbob Ok then......it would've made sense for you to comment on my post if I had said anything about "America First" ....or Bush or the fucking terrorists....what does anything that your saying have to do with me saying come listen to my original songs? hmmmmm? Take a Chill Pill dude
@weidow1 I see you didn't do well in school either. Failed English 101...such as shame...the people pay good money to taxes for you to get a good education. I keep a chill pill at hand so that I can deal with people like you...otherwise, I would stay in trouble all the time.
@K1Tende11 You're a moron...who got us into Iraq in the first place? Who spent us into a deficit with indefensible defense spending while our schools, infrastructure and American jobs fell by the side? Who even now is trying to give tax cuts to the most wealthy people in this country? Obama may be a coward and mediocre president, but he isn't what caused the escalation of the problems Mr. Haggard is singing about here. Grow up and stop sucking Republican teat.
@redguns It is quite apparent that you only listen to the music and not the words. There's a lot of message in a song...No need to "rein it in"...it's ok to speak out against what you think is wrong...even if you're wrong
@longmeaderulez Speaking of Morons...you have an accute case of idiocy to go along with being a Moron. Don't like defense huh? Well, who is going to protect you when the rockets start dropping nukes on your liberal butt!!! You guessed it...guys like ME who liked Bush. Now, that does not mean that I would not have liked to slap him for what he did with Mexico...but he is still considerably better than BamBam!!!
I usually download music but I bought this album to support the message he sends in it. Such a shame he cant get radio play like the generic pop country we hear today.
I disagree that we need it the most. People in africa, india, and numerous countries are being opressed, beaten and stripped of tgeir human rights.
