There is too much money involved in both parties. The Reps and Dems are both bought and if you want to be president then you better conform. I hate to say it but the corporations & special interest groups think this is their country and will put up some billions of $ to keep it that way. Its not government for the people by the people, it is people enslaved for the government and the government's stake holders.

THIS VIDEO IS IN NO WAY AN ENDORSEMENT OF RON PAULS IDEALS ! IT IS CERTAINLY A REPUDIATION OF NEO-CON " CONSERVATIVE IDEALS " AND MORONIC STUPIDITY !!
The people have again been told what to believe and about whom. I saw a Megan Kelly interview with RP. She asked him about out of control spending and how to stop it. His reply was that the only way was bankruptcy! Then he stated that he hoped it could be done peacably! He's no different then Obama, they are all onboard with this "hope and change" bs! vote Ron Paul? Ya right.
Hello my fellow Americans. While the media keeps us upset a group of Bankers just robbed us blind with their risky investments. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, now we are to big to fail. Bank late fees will top $45 billion and we bailed them out. Use the google to get the facts. If the media is distracting you beware. While the political strategist keep us hot over abortion and gays they are robbing the American tax payer. Not ACORN, but Halliburton, KBR and Blackwater.
Just think the old establishment said the Pot smoker, Acid heads,etc... would destroy this land(USA). Looks like they were the ones that are STONED & TRIPPEN, And Guilty (TREASON) as HELL by there words of broken promises know what I mean. I think they should all be impeached... And now we can blame it on the Democrats & republican's. Hey when do we get our bail out??? When we VOTE for people that is for the US citizens & not worried what the polls say.
Hi 1stTimeLord: How are you? Big Pharma got its start after WWII with a block buster drug, meth-amphetamine, the wonder drug of the Blitz Kreig, acid came from Germany as well and would have been OK but the CIA gave it to people and didn't tell them. Pot was legal but Dupont had a patent on paper from wood, thus the Marijuana stamp act of 1936(may be off a year) . Every story about a bomb killing people talks about how many pounds of fertilizer, why? Check out democracynow... lol
I'm 53 years old and I've thought that we would have voted in someone who made sense, but the news media , instead of bring fair and impartial, backed the Obamination. In the furture, be careful what you vote for. You might just get it.

Lynn 53 years old, watch a little free speak TV. The last guy raised the Federal debt ceiling 5 times and sold China $1.5 trillion in Federal treasury notes. Texas makers of bombs and we had a repeat of Vietnam with LBJ.
My god America when are you going to wake up and discard your ridiculously un representative, un democratic, corrupt and scandoulously arrogant biparty sh!7stem?
What, the GOP is doing a better job by not producing any counter-proposals to health care reform? Oh, that's right! The Religious Right doesn't want everyone to have health care. That's why people like you are against reform.
But maybe you guys can help the economy by having more affairs like Sanford and Ensign.
It's not even about Republican and Democrat anymore, it's turned into everyone hating each other and we should'nt. There is something bigger going on I wish we would stop arguing over health care, It will be great for some and bad for others period. The one side always looks at the other like an enemy, and that is just sad.
Dear Petey, you are right. It is very unfortunate and may well bring about the end of this country. It is all because we have become a nation where the "seemingly" majority of people want things handed to them, given to them, as if we are entitled to cradle to grave care with someone else paying the bill. It will be interesting when there is no one left to pay the bills...
Thank you Sean Hannity. King George did a great job in 8 years. You might want to bring the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 back and you might want to look at who sponsors the misinformation you believe.
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
Thomas Jefferson I feel was the first true American Icon. The man was brilliant, and I don't use that term lightly. This song made it so easy for me to convey my deepest thoughts so much that placing the graphics was a breeze. The song is the history of our country in a nutshell.
I still get chills when I see it. This video was made when Bush was in and I was hoping Ron Paul would win, Though the faces have changed Ron still Rules.
Please pass the video along. It really should be seen by all.
Fox News says President Obama didn't do enough after the Iranian election protests. I agree, first we need to pay them back for stealing their oil and killing 1000's of Iranians starting with the CIA overthrow of the democratic government in 1953, dubbed Operation Ajax and finally ending with Iranian students kicking us and the shah out in 1979. Secondly, we need to pay retributions for the millions of Iranians killed in the US backed Iraq-Iran war, 1980-1988. Let's push this video to 2000000000
You know what, if you look at the far left and the far right, they have very similar goals. The only real difference is that Liberals (like me) think the government should get involved to help the people economically, and conservatives think the feds should stay out of it and "let the business fail" by itself. They all work for the people, but different issues get involved, you know, and soon enough, we have this corrupt centrist power, fuelled by half-ass negotiations, like NAFTA!
It'd be awesome to hear thousands of Ron Paul people signing the part, America where are you now, don't you care about your sons and daughters. good video
great video, but o'reilly calls us lunatics. what a moron he is, or should i say monster. who thought 30 years later i would be listening to this song again, but this time to my favorite politician of all time.
Thats a true statement if I ever heard one and I am sorry about your cousin, I have had one good friend die from agent orange and it was slow and terrible, I have 2 other buddies and they have problems but are surviving. The monster has grown and I think is almost out of control but like a runaway bus its going to crash somewhere someday and I hate to see the results!!!!
A good cousen of mine spent a year dying from exposure to agent orange,29 years before in Viet Nam. Just one of Im sure,half a million or more who also did. & still,Most pretend there is no monster. 40 years since this song came out,and in that time, nothings really changed but to get worse.
Queenbee, Super comment,I woke up a few months ago but now I wonder if it is too late. Damn, everything you look at to buy is made in China and we are spiraling down the toilet and everyone thinks that nothing will ever happen? They have short memories 911 was just yesterday and people just dont realize what can happen to our country by the time reality sets in we are all in deep shit!!
People just stand there watching. Watching TV, going to the shopping malls, buying Chinese junk from Wal-Mart, supporting the communists, and our future leaders. "It's not my problem" "Things are great" Most people believe what the government tells them, and consider it unpatriotic to question it. We are doomed, unless America wakes up, and quits sleeping while fascism is taking over. If it happens, we deserve it for being too lazy to do anything. Better learn to speak Chinese.
America (USA) and probably the whole world is doomed. Sad but true. American government isn't working for americans. It's working for the Middle east - Israel. Sad puppets...
As I recall, the original reason we invaded Iraq was because American interests were threatened, according to our President. But it turned out Iraq was never really were a threat to the US. The only interest threatened was Halliburton and they moved their headquarters to Dubai. They're not even American any more!!!! We were HAD!!!! The only improvement since this song was written, is this time they're not drafting people to fight an unjustified war--so far.
Everybody had better wake up!! The monster is NOT AMERICA but the Giant Gluttenas Oil companies and others in Giant Industrial business. But watch out for China because we think there almost a 3rd world country but the fact is they have more computers and cell phones than we do and they have total coverage thru out the country and their Navy has surpassed ours as the Largest. Tibetan monks,Tiawan, then U.S. They want modern homes cars jewlery and other fine things!
I used to love the song Monster, still do. But it is a poor comment on the effect of America on the world. This world would be in far far worse shape, even today, were it not for this country. We should be honored to receive the rebukes from the people who say America is "a monster." We must be doing something right.
The spirit was freedom and justice. It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy. And now their vote is a meaningless joke. We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us. Now we are fighting a war over there. No matter who's the winner. We can't pay the cost America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? We can't fight alone against the monster!
The Monster was a great tune when it was new and is relevant today. Excellent video, it nailed the face of the monster today! The only candidate not part of the establishment of greed and war is Ron Paul! The fact that the media has blacked out his campaign and that his support is as feeble as it is is a reflection of how strong the puppet masters have become and how fat and lazy our people are today....I have done my part and will continue to do so because Ron Paul is the only hope we have left
In jr high while the rest of the class were listening to the Beatles, Monkees etc, we the hoods of the class were listening to Steppenwolf,Iron Butterfly, Creedance Jefferson Airplane and early Zeppelin. we were kicked out of a school dance because we sang the lyrics of Sookie Sookie and being drunk on god-aweful home-made raison wine so we took our stereo and all our cool records and left them with the Hockey Pokey played on a crappy P.E. record player.
"Monster" was and is right on the money. Ron Paul is the only viable man that can save this country from the evil has taken root many years ago and is only growing with time. You MUST know the lyrics to this to fully appreciate it.
Ron will be the first Repub I've ever supported, too. He is anti-war and anti-corruption to a degree which should make anyone want him as President. Anyone that doesn't make money off of war/corruption, that is. VOTE RON PAUL!
the media has it's eyes on the wrong people. But they want it that way because they know all those front runners are a bad decision for this country either way you vote..Clinton, Obama, Thompson, Romney, Guliani...ALL BAD CHOICES!!!!!!!
yeah lyrumus...haha! him too. They're constantly (the media) trying to push Ron Paul into going Independant but he's not backing down. HooRa! for him!!!
And all my voting life I've been a democrat! He will be my first republican vote. I don't see donkeys and elephants...I see right and wrong. Ron Paul is a-right with me!! VOTE RON PAUL 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steppenwolf is one of the unheralded treasures of the 60s and early 70s. I remember reading an article back when I was a kid where Kaye was saying the new trend was happy pops songs and they would likely fade. It was about the time TDN came out with 'Joy To The World'.
Hard to believe it was written so long ago. And here we are 36 years later, and the monster's only gotten stronger.
This is a brilliant song--and a good video too-- up until the last 10 seconds. The problem with Ron Paul is he wants to dismantle the state. Leaving "guess who" in complete control of the US population: the corporations and ultra-wealthy. Hard money has been tried. The endgame is winner-takes-all, featuring the plutocratic wealthy as winners, not you or me.
Well if you think that having the government as a mom and pop figure to serve as your protection is the way to go, then go ahead and not vote for Ron Paul. Tell me something, who do you think is running the country now? Not the "..the corporations and ultra-wealthy."? Hard money is your guarantee that your personal wealth is based on something that is rare (gold, silver, platinum..)and can not be replicated or artificially devalued.
Every time the dollar loses value you become less wealthy.
Misunderstanding of Ron Paul--who advocates for freedom and recognizes that fascist corporatocracy are the disease that plagues American politics. Ron Paul is a STATES RIGHTS candidate--contrary to Tood Boyle's story. States rights are a foundation of Ron Paul's platform.
Hey- always loved this song. I'm glad you made a kick-ass video for it. You lost me with the Ron Paul thing. He's a Free Market looney, just like the other Neocons. If voting could change anything, they'd make it illegal. Which might be their next move.
YOU are so on , america is so lost . get off the cell phones and games , these parties will hang us all out to dry in the blistering sun to gain more power and money -the vote doesnt work , and if it does they steal it like the bushes. You mean to tell me ,that the WTC, 9/11 WAS AN ACCIDENT ? AMERICA ?? got caught on a clear day with its pants down - :NO WAY: -IT WAS cleared for take off now we all sit tight, ya vote sum more ...
Brilliant lyrics..!!JK told an interesting story of writing this song at the last Wolfest in 2002.Sad...most people only know the band for BTBW & MCR.
This has to be the best song ever written about the USA. John Kay has such vision..the lyrics were about Vietnam,,but could be applied to the war in Iraq today. " America where are you now, don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now we can't fight alone against the monster " This song should be our National Anthem..God bless John Kay!!
Switch to republican to get Ron Paul on the ballot. If you're a democrat, in most states you will only be able to vote for which DEMOCRAT makes it on the ballot. Once republican, you can vote him onto the ballot, then anyone can vote for him. To find out what's required in your state and how to change your party go to dailypaul dot com/node/207 Spread the word as this fact is critical!
Even tho I wont in any form support the Republican party, Ron Paul would be my choice if "FORCED" by the Gov. to vote for Republicans or else! Whatta concept. go Independent Ron, and ya got my vote!
While I wont support the Republicans in any form I am registered Rep. I ussually vote for the weakest candidate in primaries, then vote however. but Ron "IS" cool! wish he was independent!
Always one of my favorite songs--good job finding all the shots to go with it. You cover a lot--it's a good reference point for people just waking up to see what they need to learn more about.
Things are even worse now--the robber barons didn't have private armies at their disposal in the past like they do now. Mercenaries earning $400,000/year will do anything they're told, including rounding up and executing American citizens.
Are you sure they didn't? What about Pinkerton, et al? I need to go look that stuff up again, but ISTR there being some mercenary action going on in the latter half of the 19th C.

We should be honored to receive the rebukes from the people who say America is "a monster." We must be doing something right.

I mostly agree MP. But we have been heading down that slippery slope that we used to condemn. Thanks to poor leadership and advice
we are not much different. It is unfortunate
that we are being led by forces that do NOT
have America or Americans as a priority. A
disgusting global agenda has been in place for
sometime now. And anyone who thinks that any
of our leaders(Clinton,McCain,Obama) in the near future will change this, are indeed drinking the kool-aid.

The spirit was freedom and justice. It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy. And now their vote is a meaningless joke. We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us. Now we are fighting a war over there. No matter who's the winner. We can't pay the cost America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? We can't fight alone against the monster!

The Monster was a great tune when it was new and is relevant today. Excellent video, it nailed the face of the monster today! The only candidate not part of the establishment of greed and war is Ron Paul! The fact that the media has blacked out his campaign and that his support is as feeble as it is is a reflection of how strong the puppet masters have become and how fat and lazy our people are today....I have done my part and will continue to do so because Ron Paul is the only hope we have left

In jr high while the rest of the class were listening to the Beatles, Monkees etc, we the hoods of the class were listening to Steppenwolf,Iron Butterfly, Creedance Jefferson Airplane and early Zeppelin. we were kicked out of a school dance because we sang the lyrics of Sookie Sookie and being drunk on god-aweful home-made raison wine so we took our stereo and all our cool records and left them with the Hockey Pokey played on a crappy P.E. record player.

Steppenwolf is one of the unheralded treasures of the 60s and early 70s. I remember reading an article back when I was a kid where Kaye was saying the new trend was happy pops songs and they would likely fade. It was about the time TDN came out with 'Joy To The World'.
Hard to believe it was written so long ago. And here we are 36 years later, and the monster's only gotten stronger.

ScottKilbourn 4 years ago 2
This is a brilliant song--and a good video too-- up until the last 10 seconds. The problem with Ron Paul is he wants to dismantle the state. Leaving "guess who" in complete control of the US population: the corporations and ultra-wealthy. Hard money has been tried. The endgame is winner-takes-all, featuring the plutocratic wealthy as winners, not you or me.
ToddBoyle 4 years ago
Well if you think that having the government as a mom and pop figure to serve as your protection is the way to go, then go ahead and not vote for Ron Paul. Tell me something, who do you think is running the country now? Not the "..the corporations and ultra-wealthy."? Hard money is your guarantee that your personal wealth is based on something that is rare (gold, silver, platinum..)and can not be replicated or artificially devalued.
Every time the dollar loses value you become less wealthy.

Misunderstanding of Ron Paul--who advocates for freedom and recognizes that fascist corporatocracy are the disease that plagues American politics. Ron Paul is a STATES RIGHTS candidate--contrary to Tood Boyle's story. States rights are a foundation of Ron Paul's platform.

Hey- always loved this song. I'm glad you made a kick-ass video for it. You lost me with the Ron Paul thing. He's a Free Market looney, just like the other Neocons. If voting could change anything, they'd make it illegal. Which might be their next move.

The NeoCons, Socialists... are all control freaks, doesn't matter what political stripe, control being the key word.

This has to be the best song ever written about the USA. John Kay has such vision..the lyrics were about Vietnam,,but could be applied to the war in Iraq today. " America where are you now, don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now we can't fight alone against the monster " This song should be our National Anthem..God bless John Kay!!

Switch to republican to get Ron Paul on the ballot. If you're a democrat, in most states you will only be able to vote for which DEMOCRAT makes it on the ballot. Once republican, you can vote him onto the ballot, then anyone can vote for him. To find out what's required in your state and how to change your party go to dailypaul dot com/node/207 Spread the word as this fact is critical!

Always one of my favorite songs--good job finding all the shots to go with it. You cover a lot--it's a good reference point for people just waking up to see what they need to learn more about.
Things are even worse now--the robber barons didn't have private armies at their disposal in the past like they do now. Mercenaries earning $400,000/year will do anything they're told, including rounding up and executing American citizens.
