Patriotism on St. Marks Street, Election Day 2008

[tamaolemaa]

Proud moment for America. People were spontaneously singing the anthem on street corners and wherever they met on that proud night when Obama was elected. Glorious day in American history. God bless America!

[HostileNegotiator]

America...the land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy!

Although, with Obama and the national human trafficking and enslavement month of January he proclaimed, perhaps this will be a new slave free beginning to end the horrors we have lived in past.

Slavery never ended people, it only changed. Educate yourselves.

Whites are worth more money to Saudi Arabia so I guess you could say Bush and Cheney sold the white US out. LOL. They too stupid to even realize. How sad.

[seeker4truth]

This moment reflects the best of America - let's keep it alive daily in our hearts and relations with each other.

[iamsosquid]

See those people, neocons? They are Americans. Proud, voting, intelligent Americans. Study them closely, as they seem to not exist where you live.

[georgehalo123]

Hilarious and pathetic, they ask for change, and get the same ole' samle ole'....a democratic who will raise taxes, enslave them, and generally owes everything to the old school. No change there, since he wants to appt peeps like hillary and bill and the others, altogether having over 100 years in washington. That's 'change we need'??? LOL americans are sooooooooooooooo stupid

[fractions1234567890]

dude go fuck yourself ok you fucking european so SHUT THE FUCK UP, come over to america ok stupid ass

[GR4NDTH3FT4UTO]

i love how patriotism broke out, there are hundreds of vids of the same thing, all very moving, that was an emotional nigh

[GR4NDTH3FT4UTO]

envy is pathetic

[TavernWenchBlog]

Good God this is glorious!!!!

[beenn15]

that's a pretty odd thing to say... for someone who resides in europe. It's obvious you don't know much about american politics... believe me, no voters made a last minute decision to vote for Obama. We knew exactly who we wanted to win... Sorry we didn't live up to your shameful expectations... then again, we never care what you think anyway, you should know that already.

[cosentino78]

thanks for posting this. thats my car. it was vandalized so everyone could have a good time. thanks!

[BrainWashedSheeple]

Of course, these guys would've been singing our National Anthem no matter WHO was elected, right?

Right?

Patriotism... it's the new Green.

[booksellergirl]

Given what the Republicans have done to our Constitution over the last 8 years, yeah, you're probably right. But now they are going and the fresh breeze of freedom and democracy can begin to flow again. Hallelujah!!

[booksellergirl]

This still gives me chills... I think I got my country back!

[acinodras]

To all evangelicals & social conservatives who think they have the moral high ground and who presume the right to judge and declare who is and who is not a true American - I invite you to watch this video and then shut your fucking pie hole.

The people in this video love their country and they are ECSTATIC that it will once again be in responsible, careful hands.

As am I. Fake America, let us take the moral highground back from those scoundrels.

[boredlawstudent]

awesome. do we get the flag back now too?

[booksellergirl]

Yeah, we do. Search on "Union Square Flag" and see we take beautiful symbol of our country back.

[webtist]

awesome!! i was there, so great to find a record of it. thanks!!!!

[zoonoses1]

Thank you for this.

[booksellergirl]

This makes me wanna cry. I think I have my country back.

[JumpStop1]

THE VILLAGE IS THE SHIT!

[mscadem44]

Way fucking cool. (And Palin can definitely sit on it.)

[rotlingrotling]

Thank you Amerika. Well done! *snif*

[kralle7611]

cool. thx america. that was fine.

[netsharc]

Wow, this shows how much Bush is hated. I wonder if he realizes how hated he is, that people are celebrating the end of his regime with the same joy Iraqis celebrated the end of Saddam Hussein's...

[shiz1246]

lol

[baldevis]

Well, in 2004 Bush insisted that he'd earned "capital," and would start spending it because it was his "style." And he sure spent it...ALL of it...every last bit.....like a stoned teenager who stole his mom's credit card.

[memberbs]

damn these socialislamofascist songs...

[MontrealChic]

Wish i was there to celebrate with u guys... congrats for electing a wonderful president!

[gnostic19]

Palin can sit on it.

[Hobes07]

Awesome video, awesome night. I love listening to crowds sing the Anthem; the passion is absolutely palpable.

[TavernWenchBlog]

I love you, New York City!!!!! Greetings from Ohio... didn't it feel awesome when we killed McCain's math last night!??

[apollodionysus7]

I LOVE my city, even if it's not in Palin's "Real" America.

What a great event we have all participated in;

I am so proud of us Americans.

[acinodras]

Stirring.  Gives me goosebumps.

[mareslrn]

Proposition 8 was bankrolled by the Mormon church who put in like $30 million. Good old religious fanatics never cease to amaze me. At least the White House will get a good cleaning out!

[ocmozfan]

That gave me chills.

[dancingbearfilms]

amazing, but the works not done...let's go get 'em...

and california please, how can we give more fundamental rights to chickens with one hand and take away fundamental rights from people with the other?

[3putt21]

Fake America kicks ass!

[DJPotPieUK]

Thank you so much for posting this. Despite Obama's historic win last night, I've been in a funk all day long over Prop. 8 in California -- seeing this reminded me that one day soon it will be young people like these in the majority, and we will ALL be treated equally in America.

[ocmozfan]

I'm with you on that. It's such a bittersweet day. It's been hard to process everything. On the same night that Americans elected a black man to be president, Californians voted to write dicrimination into law and to have rights taken away from fellow citizens.

It's beyond saddening.

[rainlion]

wow, hadn't thought about it that way - directly linking the two events, but you're right.

Okay so we've made one small step forward, many more to go. Let's get to it.

[chinatown1997]

Union Square was like that too last night. One big celebration. Amazing

[bittersandblueruin]

so amazing. there were spontaneous street parties all over manhattan and brooklyn last night.

[LDJXFL]

The REAL America is all over America. Only the ignorant cannot see this truth.

[paradoxical77]

Love it!!

[voxcivitatis]

That is just so beautiful. Whether you voted for Obama or not, this is a moment to celebrate.

[trevormail]

The top video in the "Related Videos" list  is "Obama's Patriotism Problem." LOL WUT? Awesome.
