James Mcmurtry - Cheney's Toy

[kpedsea]

Liked it until the very end, with the Ron Paul endorsement. Don't think another goddam Texas Republican is the way to go.

[gemhunter99]

@kpedsea Sorry bout that; this was made in 2008 at the height of my infatuation with Ron Paul, I still support him however I can as I don't want another Democrat or Republican. Ron Paul is a Liberatarian and as far from the "Status Quo" as you can get. But he also knows the system is biased towards dem/rep...status quo candidates and the only way he can get his message across is as a member of the Republican Party....but I agree, I will see if I can edit it without losing the count.

[mysticnurse]

@kpedsea - you should really check out Ron Paul. And endorse him. Otherwise, you're getting nothing but the same, or worse. I promise.

[stand4ever1]

i like the voice overlay,stan ridgeway did a tune that was all voice over in that same context,and maybe this was cut from there,but id like to find that one also..good job, love james mcmurtry

[joehiggs100]

thanks for posting great tune - overlaid bush voices spoil it tho - pix alone will do - let the song tell the story, all the best

[gemhunter99]

@joehiggs100 Agreed... his voice was underlayed originally, I think when google/youtube messed with the soundtrack during copyright shananignas, they changed it? Gonna try to go see him in June. would like to make it over...with some changes the aforementioned and the ending, promote James a little more...

[pyrettablaze67]

I grew up in the era where musicians had something to say about our country, our wars, and our people. It's good to hear it again after so many years. Go James, your dad would be proud!

[Trey1013]

Sad But true! James Hits another homer!

[WingWatchr]

Brilliant song; brillian video. Thank you for both.

[nasanction]

Good dog!

[StratusBlue]

Hell Yes!! Makes me wanna Jam along!

[kennyworth1967]

Great video..

[eyesoftheworld0]

Patriotism is love of ones country, NOT ones government. Questioning our government is what makes us free. That is called Democracy. "Blind faith in anything will get you killed".

[rw434]

Truly one of the lamest songs of this or any other generation.

McMurtry is a talented guy but he writes like an impassioned college freshman who is transitioning from emo to politically motivated because he took some hack lefty prof's class for the first time.

Keep the faith boys and girls. LOL

[sgslider]

You, my friend, are a complete idiot. "Keep the faith" my ass, more proof that church folk are more judgmental and narrowminded than anyone

[SargentAnus]

@sgslider Nothing like calling someone "judgmental and narrow-minded" to prove that you are truly enlightened...

[pretorious700]

Shoot the messenger eh asshole?

Give me an impassioned college freshman over cynical shits like you anyday.

[luciferro2002]

thanks for your work, 5*

[aodscarecrow]

Great clip

[shas1814]

Powerful music.

And well done.

Spot-on video, too.

The shit is floating to the surface

and it's too late to hide it.

That doesn't mean they won't try to SUPPRESS it-

it takes more and more courage to sing and post

and speak out about the lies and crimes.

Well done, sir.

[ae417]

thank you james. i'm sending this video to my family, today, July 4th. What does pat(riot)ic really mean?

[janney81]

Why would anyone believe tha W could make the Iraqi oil system work? After all he went broke trying to find oil in Texas and had to get bailed out by the Saud family.

[HorstQueck]

"... HELL YES, OIL is ONE OF THE REASONS "

Then you'll love this song:

wakeupfromyourslumberDOT COM/node/1829

[braddsn]

God I hate liberals. I am ex military. You all have no idea what is going on over there, nor do you know the reasons that we are over there. You THINK you do. You have NO idea of the hundreds of thousands that are on there knees thanking the United States for freeing them. Also, for those of you who keep ranting about us being there for oil... HELL YES, OIL is ONE OF THE REASONS we went to war. If you don't think you would go to war for oil, then you are an idiot. Try walking everywhere.

[gemhunter99]

I can tell you the millions of refugees that had to flee thier homes are not thanking us...I think we are there because GW Bush wanted us there. That was his plan from Day one!! If they had taken the money they spent on this invasion and installed solar & wind on american bussiness & homes we would'nt be so dependant on oil.

[tompetty832002]

of course we dont know the reasons. when a government takes the country to war then lies about the reason for going it is hard to know why. why don't you enlightened us instead of spewing out insults? sometimes reasoning with people accomplishes more than talking shit. give it a try.

[TuneInTurnOnDropOut]

I am ex-military too and you are a sucker to believe all that pro-USA crap. I don't give 2 shits about "people on their knees" - it's not our role in the world to save it. At least you admit we went their for oil, you imperialist asshole.

[headachehaver]

I'm sure I wouldn't go to war for oil. there are very few things that i would go to war for.

[rashirlano]

yeah, it's hard to walk. harder if you're a toddler just learning with one leg.

ex-military? who have you killed? do you _really_ believe that their life was worth no more than the convenience of driving your suv? cuz in the end, that's what this whole damn thing's about - you nailed that.

faik, i launched the tomahawk that crippled the li'l girl whose photo ran in the ny times soon after i came home to be welcomed as a "hero."

i'd rather she and i both were walking.

[shas1814]

I would gladly walk everywhere for my entire life

(it ain't that hard-

until a hundred years ago even Americans had to do that)

before I would ask my government to kill one person

to put gas in my tank.

Wouldn't you?

Really?

[wovokanarchy]

@braddsn There's an illegal alien living in your backyard and he's after your daughter. Silly rabbit.

[jamcrane3]

Not speaking out when you know that things are fucked up from top to bottom and side to side constitutes unpatriotic behaviour at it's worst. James is a Patriot!

[Lineman58]

What a good dog!

[hooverdog1957]

Time for a revolution folks and take our government back. We the People. They don't own us we own them.

[breathgh]

If any of y'all are upset by what you think might be "Unpatriotic" in McMurtry's message, please just watch 2 Frontline Public TV docs titled "CHENEY'S WAR" and "BUSH'S WAR" and you'll wake up to the fact that you've been duped by Cheney, Bush and McCain! I hope James McMurtry writes another song about their WMDS, Deployed by the MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL-PHARMA- CEUTICAL-PETROCHEMICAL Machine! I think James should get a metal for Patriotism and Saving Lives by not being Cheney's or McCain's Toy!

[jamcrane3]

breathg,I was never duped.I looked at that motherfuckers beady little pig eyes a long time ago and prayed to every deity that anyone has ever used not to inflict this sick man on the human race.I tried to talk to people,I said look at him,you can tell he ain't right.The only thing that anyone was interested in was " He's never had sex with anyone but his wife.And his daddy was president.With qualifications like that we've got to elect him!" Duhuhuh,got to wipe slobber from corners of mouth now.

[ycjltso]

Actually, it was the first inaugural address.

[MMadmike]

Bush quote 2nd innagural address. "After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ``We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm? We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another." This angel he speaks is Lucifer.
