MY MOMMA SAYS OBAMA,

LET'S RIDE THE PEACE TRAIN, DERAIL THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS!

[Baldgol4]

I hope John Murtha of Pennsylvania and the other scum sucking politicians hear this. The trouble is, they are brain dead and simply don't get the message. We must vote ALL of them into retirement.

[dave777blaster]

John is dead

but those other scum that make up the most anti American Congress and Senate in the history of USA do not listen to anyone anymore.

The republic does not need to be remade what needs to be done is follow the constitution and make sure the message is loud and clear across the land that the politicians are the servants not the rulers.

They do not listen in Washington DC and that is why America is in such trouble

[Imaginefree69]

Being born again means that you can not sin.

How's that working out for you so far?

[cjhmeh]

Being born again does not mean that you can not sin. It just means there's forgiveness when you do. It's just a matter of confessing and accepting that gift. Born again doesn't mean perfect, just forgiven. It's there just like a gift on your birthday or Christmas. You have to accept it or reject it. God's ultimate passion is a relationship with you and He wanted it so much He was willing to give His son for you.

[dave777blaster]

What? your brain washed with false ideas

[JBINTACMOM]

Obviously you aren't born again... it doesn't mean you can not sin, it means that Christ's redemption on the cross has paid the debt for the sin of the one who is accepting the gift. It engrafts into us a desire to not sin, but does not remove the possibility of sin. Won't you, too, ask Jesus to cleanse you from your sin by appropriating his payment?

[dave777blaster]

this is 100% correct

[ajturley77777]

@Imaginefree69

what bible you reading. Born again means we are all sinners have the opportunity be saved by Grace. And that works for me just fine thank you Jesus

[dave777blaster]

Who said you can not sin that the lord would not forgive you on Judgment day where do you find such hogwash

you are presuming to be the judge Almighty

[loveisthevehicle]

This private movement urges all citizens to get involved --so we get back on track & reverse this downward trend in America. The site supports a return to the Bill of Rights/Constitution---which are neither liberal nor conservative. As the site says, our leaders work for us & not vice versa.

Beccasgramma, not sure what song you heard--but someone needs to care that your grandchild's future is mortaged..

The spirit of America is at a low point, and only we the people can bring it back.

[rozellalinden]

The video is typical Obama campaign,. However, Americans MUST get involved in politics. Create and protect American jobs. I am a born again Christian, and a born again American. The founding fathers intended to protect FREEDOM OF RELIGION, not advocate freedom FROM religion in our country. I hope that this becomes more than what Norman Leer and the Obama campaign wished for. Conservative and middle of the road Americans Stand up for our country and hold Obama to his campaign promises.

[BeccasGramma]

The people who can't or won't see through this liberal BS deserve to follow their rusted leader.......note, I did not say illustrious leader because obama is not. I don't need to be born again in order to be an American and love my country. I'm a conservative and I'll stay that way. I do NOT plan to let some deceitful song mislead me down a path of liberalism and doing what feels good just because it feels good. I'll stick with what is right instead.

[TFQJA12]

I am not an American, but have had my university education in Tucson,Arizona from 1979 to 1985. Two of my four children were born in the USA.

I believe of the true American values and I find them an inspiration and an example to be followed all over the world.

It is a shame that past American Administrations selected policies that desecrated the image of true and genuine American Values.

I look at the Born Again Americans to revive the true image of America in the world.

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Guys this is a deceitful video.

It was a pro-Obama video - look at the rallies, at the choirs, see the signs for change.

The site is produced by God hating Christian hating Norman Lear

And sponsored by his group (see the link at the bottom of the page) PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY

Whos only goal is to strip God out of every vestige of our society

Listen to the words

"My Country Tis Of Me"

[bulbheadmyass]

I disagree, WhereDidItAllGo7. It is not a pro-Obama video; it is a pro-what-Obama-stands-for video.

[uncannyb]

The rich get richer the poor get poorer.... and laws are passed to protect everything except labor rights?

Yeah, I just don't get it either... why don't those stupid unemployed Americans understand how good globalization is for them?

Cheap plastic shit is worth way more than human dignity.....

Thank Bush and the GOP for all these unfair trade agreements.

[humaner]

This is weird and completely lacking in any understanding of global markets and international economic interdependency...weird and provincial.

[pyewacket60]

If you go to the Born Again American web site, there's the original version of this song under the Remix section. It's sung by the composer, Keith Carradine. In HIS version, the phrase is My Bible IS my Bill of Rights NOT My Bible AND the Bill of Rights. The original makes much more sense to me, especially in light of the fact that one of the singers is from an Islamic Center. In my opinion, the original lyrics are less offensive to those Americans who are not Christian.

[archibunker1]

Something is wrong with our country, if rich people get to personally own the Declaration of Independence.

I think it ought to be owned by everyone.

[abiddle726]

its not the original, the original is in congress. But there is definitely many things wrong in our country! Practice democracy - have conversations.

[bettyandpearl]

I don't think it's religion in the divine sense... I think it's more about the rebirth of American patriotism: pursuing our citizenship with the same zeal as we do our religion.

[jumftp]

>> Is this some sort of religious thing? I'm confused >>

I'd venture to guess its supposed to show many people with different viewpoints across the nation finally realizing we need to work together and hopefully fix things

[spikesmth]

They're just hoping we've let our guard down now that there's hope. I love Obama, but he must not escape scrutiny. This is OUR country and our leaders must be held accountable.

[jimtarheel]

At last, there's hope for high school drop out without skills! Yeah!! Let's re-open the textile factories in New England (they should have never moved south), and reopen all those Detroit auto plants. Sure, and make it illegal to buy foreign cars. And TVs, and VCRs, and all electronics. That's the way to protect American jobs. Yeah!! (Or you can accept the reality of a global economy and adapt. Your choice.) Best wishes.

[anmoose]

If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes, then you're not an American...

[delerium2k]

Time for the second American revolution.

[CO2Junkie]

Is this some kind of religious thing? I'm confused. I think I heard '... my Bible and my Bill of Rights'. Before anyone gets defensive - I'm just asking.

[pseudolover]

what did they do in 1948? the founding of israel?

[TFQJA12]

It is interesting that you have highlighted this fact that is linked to the year.

I am a Palestinian and I look forward to Born Again Americans to practice what they preach and do look equally and fairly at what is the most unfair entity in the world, Israel.

Will Americans put the Bill of Rights at action equally?
