  • 1) We can't stop the bomb. (unless we create the time unit to stop the creation of the bomb in the past.*ha...ha*)

    2) America will be swayed when we find a cheap and affordable re-source that isn't oil, coal, corn, or nuclear energy.(Oil-obvious why its not a good source. Coal-Mining,Deforestation,air-­pollution. Corn-Deforestation and requires too much farm land.

    Nuclear promotes the use of nuclear attacks, whether it be on nuclear plants or with nuclear technology.)

  • I'd like to commend you on your honest insight. So many people in this country have lost theirs... and if it stays that way, we may lose this country as well.

  • I have hope, given the message sent with the mid-terms. Thanks for your comment.

  • 3) We have a government full of self-righteous rogues. Not just bush but everyone and behind the curtain.

    4) We will never enjoy freedom without being superior in morals, equal liberties, trade, small business, environment protection, etc.

    Good video thanks!

  • Sincere and articulate. I agree.

  • Thank you.

  • Sir, i respect your humble opinon and vision of what america should be.

  • Thanks!

  • I wont pick up a uniform for a fony war like the one in Iraq, but I sure as hell will get my gun to defend my neighbor's freedom to protest it.

  • Thank you.

  • Good point! I'm beginning to like rednecks.

  • Thanks.

  • Wow, from someone named the 'ReluctantRedneck' I didn't expect such an excellent commentary. I totally agree with you.

  • Thanks!

  • Sorry,I didn't see much of a point to the video.

    The problem as I see it is that there is an assumption that Republicans want war. (We don't)

  • Simply put, We all want to go on with our daily lives.

    The reality is, that some people in the neighborhood wish to cause us harm. The question is, How do we maintain the security of our family and not turn our house into a prision.

    Yes, it would be nice to just roll over and go back to sleep, but do we dare?

    The husband wants to buy a gun, the wife forbids it. He wants to lock the doors, she wants them open.

    His house will look and feel threatening, hers like a ripe target.

  • What I hear in the vid is a desire to go back to the way things were. (Terorist attacks in the 80's, North Korea still shakey,starvation in Africa, human right violations in China,Aids, increasing abortion, rampant drug use) I'm just not sure it was all that good. Familiar, YES! Good?

    My true worry is not about a War in Iraq. (Kennedy and Johnson gave us one hell of a party, and FDR &Eisenhower sent more men to their graves than one can imagine.

  • The point of the vlog is that the Neo-cons are using fear to strip us of our freedoms. I think most Republicans hate war as much as everyone else. The problem I have is with anti-social, evil bastards, of either party that profit from war. There's a lot more to it than that, but that's a start...  Thanks for your comment, Tony.

  • Hey, dont missunderstand me, I want to get back to normal too! I just have no faith in the Democrats. They certainly don't mind "changing" the constitution when it serves their purposes.

    I tend to believe that "YOU" are capable of making most of the decisions in your life, and should also bear the brunt of the responsibility.

  • Our country has truly changed. ( Over the last 60 yrs instead of the last 6.)

    The problem with the Democrats, is that they try to please every part of their constituancy... which is nigh impossible because several of them are at odds.

  • I also believe that Bush meant well. However, I'm not sure if Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Regan, or Lincoln himself could have come out on top after that whole 911 thing.

    Truth is, this country was so divided over the election, that many wanted to see the President fail.

    Kennedy sounded pretty "cowboy" when he faced down the Soviets over Cuban missles. (That could have gone very wrong)

  • I agree. I don't think we should have faith in either party. They are there to serve us. If they don't, we vote'em out! If we can learn to use that power and find representatives that truly represent us, then things can change. Lots of work to be done to get there, though...  Got to change those campaign finance rules!

  • On the street, there is no difference between Repubs and Dems, just good people going to work and raising families. On the National level, it gets a bit odd.

    I personally blame Lawyers. Charges are usually leveled at conservatives of trying to "control" what people do and think. I just see it a different way. Usually its the loud "open minded" people who try to scream you down and take away your ability to choose.

  • Sure, there are issues that both sides have (abortion, death penalty) But changes that have taken place in the last 60 yrs would make FDR's head spin. In other words, I fully accept your right to smoke, own a gun, eat meat/w transfat no less in the privacy of your property..or in public..(I just wont go in a bar where someone is enjoying themselves with a cig and act like they are subhuman)

  • The main "group" to push these bans on freedom aren't "conservatives" (not real ones anyway), but, from my experience, Liberal.

    And as soon as a lawyer smells money in the air, we have a case to save us from ourselves... as our "practical" freedoms slip away making narry a noise.

  • This is an interesting discussion and I'd love to continue now, but I've got to do something. I'll try to reply tomorrow morning with more thoughts. I think there are folks on both sides of the aisle that try to "control" us. It's an interesting problem. Thanks again for taking the time to discuss this. Later, Tony.

  • Take care sir, and I have to say, Thanks for being truly open minded!!

  • great commentary. I agree with everything you said. Your a great american my friend. We got em out of the Senate and the House, now need to vote these scoundels out of the White House.

  • Thanks!

  • Thank you.

  • Funny you call Bush a Southerner driver, since he was born in New Haven Connecticut, LOL. But I do agree with you, southerners get stereotyped as being stupid and only republicans. Bush acts like he's a southerner by pretending to be a Christian, and owning a ranch down in Crawford,Texas.He does this to get the vote of Evangelicals, many of which live in the South. I agree with what ReluctantRedneck had to say though, and I wish him all the best.

  • It is refreshing to hear someone who understands what Iraq is about. Thank you for looking at it with more compassion than some You Tubers post.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you for speaking up for those who realize what is going on, but are too afraid to do anything about it. You are a great person for this, and I wish you and your family all the best in your life.

  • Thank you.

  • As a concerned Canadian who closely monitors the Bush non-administration, you give me hope sir, you give me hope. Please, for all our sakes keep posting.

  • Well stated.

  • Thanks.

  • Great video RR. Remember 1999? I do, I was 18. Almost 6 years now of this stuff and I'm with you, I want to go back to the way it was. I'm tired of it, and I really feel like it's had a negative effect on my life.

  • Things are going to get better.

  • You are brilliant and wonderful and watching your responses is always a joy and inspiring.

  • Thank you.

  • Sir, you spoke my mind most eloquently.

  • Thanks.

  • Thanks.

  • You are so on in your viewpoints and true patriotic American. Keep on brother!

  • Thanks.

  • This man is spot on. He makes an exellent point about religious wars too. Think about the wars between Catholics and Protestants in the UK and Ireland, they began with Henry the VIII and it has only just ended, after cenuturies of bloodletting, wars, executions, terrorist plots etc. And it they still had each other in Northern Ireland. Yet we are know in the middle of an idealogical war between Islamic sects.

  • Thank you.

  • This guy gets it

  • Thanks.

  • Thanks!

  • You're spot-on. Real patriotic Americans need to stand up and say NO to the big bad bully methods this administration has turned to in international politics, and NO to all this fear-mongering. Remember where America came from, and where our protected freedoms came from, and don't let them steal what the founders of this fine country created.

    Reluctant Redneck, you are a true American, and more people need to follow your lead. Thank you!

  • Thank you.

  • right on brother

  • Thanks.

  • everything you said is DEAD ON!

    re-elect NO ONE!

  • Thanks.

  • Socialism ftw indeed.

  • Well spoken. I urge you to continue speaking out on all issues. Your viewpoints are spot on.

  • Thanks.

  • It's up to the youth of this country. Talk about it with your friends. This is your future and your childrens future. Us old folks will be dead and buried. You will have to live with this continuing mess if you don't send the message now.

  • Thanks.

  • Its good to see someone really knows what's happening around the world and inside America. I've talked to lots of people, and they are patriotic(which is a good thing) but..they have no concept whatsoever. i think we would need a honest that is not been dictortated by powerful individuals.

  • Thanks.

  • All hail Emperor Bush his royal majorsty!

  • Hear! Hear!

  • Thanks.

  • Amen Brother

  • Thanks.

  • I wish I had more faith in my fellow Americans to vote for a better future. A poster above says look at the Libertarian party. I agree. More people need to start voting Independent and stop giving so much power to two parties that are essentially the same.

  • I agree-

    But you have to have faith in order to get anywhere. :3

  • so very well said.

  • I'm starting to wonder if Democrats and Republicans are really the right road we should be taking... ;)

  • Yes after the passing of this bill Im starting to buy into the idea that the Democrats are just a creation of the GOP ment to make america look as if the people have a choice in the matters at hand lol. Thats OBVIOUSLY a joke, but im starting to wonder...

  • My man your right terrorism will never end and who ever thinks it will they are nuts!

  • Thanks.

  • If we elect the likes of Billary Clinton they might tke our guns:)

  • I don't hide my gun(s) I have a lawful concealed handgun permit. In fact, I got pulled over the other day and told the officer I had a pistol in my console. He looked t my permit and let me get on down the road. Hillary Clinton will not be president:)

  • But Msbehaving you forget the most important detail in your "Waterboarding" analogy. I am an American and I do have rights to a trial, attorney etc.I was not caught on a battlefield trying to kill coalition soldiers or with a C4 belt, or any type of IED whatsoevr

  • you are spamming aren't you ?

  • I'd rather the govermnet had the guns than the terrorists and wackos like waco.

  • what is USARNORTH? It seems we have an army in AMERICA ready to execute certain missions.

    someone google and find out yourself what they do

  • you are such an enemy of fun.

  • (fun=optimism)

  • i guess this new bill is mostly because of the reason that the administration does not want to face any charges- and also wanted to legitimize what they did at gitmo- thats all (since almost all at guantanamo bay were later declared innocent). i hope its not for any "future power grab. maybe tahts why they are calling it temporary powers. (but not to forget- it will be devastating if its used for any action in future- i just hope its only to clear up what they did in past).

  • You say "since all Guantanamo Bay were later declared innocent"...that says it right there. I guess we did happen to grab a few nasty ones that, if not incarcerated, might have killed you and your family or your neighbors and fellow Americans

  • cvayas- it boils down to THIS> you are OK without habeas corpus and I am NOT! im not here to convert you to my belief - and vice versa. lets leave it there.

  • "you are OK without habeas corpus and I am NOT!" You would be, if you had entered the country LEGALLY !

  • lifechaser- shalom. thanks for your bright insight.

  • lifechaser- Shalom. thanks for your bright insight. and as for legal entry, trust me- i entered the country wayyyy more legally than your garndparents did.

  • lifechaser- ignorance is such a blessing isnt it.

  • hell- all comments did appear. hey lifechaser-i didn't mean to be so rude. please take your pick-ignore the rest-lol

  • Thank you and God Bless you for your honest, simple and heartfelt words. Why is it that your "average joes" get it, but the powers that be are so completely clueless? I too am proud to be an average joe doing my part to stand up and say what needs to be said! Keep up the good fight!

  • Thanks.

  • Thank you.

  • Thanks.

  • No problem- Keep it up. People need to hear more from people like you.

  • It's sad that people like this with basic common sense and tangible humanity are on youtube and not on the world's top democratic platforms. This was a great example of putting issues in context, and looking at them rationally.

  • Thank you.

  • Amanda from London England here, you talk more sense in a few minutes than I've heard in 30 years from any politician! Wonderful.

  • Thanks!

  • Thank you for speaking up and expressing what most Americans are feeling! We don't want to be the KGB!

  • Thanks for your comment.

  • Well said. Thank you for taking the time to make an honest, heartfelt statement that makes more sense than anything I've seen from anyone in our government in a long, long time. I feel a little better knowing there are other Americans besides me who feel that members of our "leadership" who claim to represent America no longer represent Americans.

  • Thank you.

  • god bless you Reluctant Redneck

  • Thanks!

  • I know who is behind most of this evil; Zionist's. They have been plotting to take us down for years now. Did you know Russia had a constitution too before the Zionist's took it over? They killed 40 million Christians in Russia. I wonder how many they will kill here.

  • Take your HATRED of a group, any group and choke on it you BIGGOT !!!

  • The Communist wrestled control from the Czars: no constitution there! Tell Bin Laden you need a bigger tent because you will never know "PeaceEternal" in all of eternity with youR blind hatred.

  • The Communist killed 40 million christians. "Bin Laden didn't blow up the towers, it was you nigga, tell the truth nigga." - from a popular song

  • oops... it goes like this; "Bin Ladan didn't blow up the projects, it was you nigga, tell the truth nigga." anyway

  • ARE YOU CHOCKING YET, OH YEAH!!!

  • "Zionist's...killed 40 million Christians in Russia." Now you state it was the Communist. No you are not a little confused, you are REALLY confused.

  • Who were in the leading roles of the Communist party? Jews. What were the only religious buildings not destroyed by the Communist's? Synaguages. Yes indeed. Communism is a Jew invented and instituted tyranny. Infact they made it a crime punishable to death for being anti-semetic, which mearly means someone who is not pro-Jew. I highly respect many Jews, like Moses, Yeshuah, Spinoza, Einstein, and Chomsky.

  • Communism was and still is ANTI-RELIGION including Judaism! Your Muslim extremest propaganda and your Hatred prevents you from having any logical thoughts. You know and I know you place Mohammed above all the Jews you "highly respect." There is no Peace Eternal for you as long as you cling to your blind hatred.

  • is this thing working?

  • I am not Muslim. I am an American Christian. I hate no one. Further I don't need to respect any Jew over other people. Yes, goyim are humans too you Jewish supremacist.

  • I am not Jewish and you are no Christian. Your blind HATRED leaves a stain on your soul.

  • lol, who do I hate now?

  • You slander me as if it were sport. Heck, I don't even hate your father; Satan.

  • MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

  • "Now you will see what I will do with those people who belong to Satan's group. They claim to be Jews, but they are liars. I will make them come and kneel down at your feet. Then they will know that I love you." (Apocalypse 3:9)

  • "Then they will know that I love you." Define, you:

  • the anointed of God

  • "Then they will know that I love you"-"the anointed of God" Define - "the anointed of God"

  • I will let God do that.

  • Having trouble with facing reality are you?  ANSWER IS: It isn't you.

  • You must have a close relationship with God to know that. I congradulate you.

  • "who do I hate now?" Read you own comments, it's obvious.

  • To your brain washed mind. Who ever doesn't believe in murdering Palistinians must hate Jews. Sure.

  • "I know who is behind most of this evil; Zionist's" - PeaceEternal

  • "I know who is behind most of this evil; Zionist's" - PeaceEternal

  • Why do you think the US attacked Iraq? Because it is a Zionist military objective. Do you think it is an evil act to kill some 350,000 Iraqi people and thousands of US soldiers?

  • Radical Islam has brought violence to France, Spain, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and the U.S. We Americans will defend ourselves even though you want to take the world to war.

  • You must be a paid propagandist because you're pretty good. Most if not all of those attacks from "radical Islam" are actually FALSE FLAG operations of the Israelis.

  • "paid propagandist" I am just an average American. You can disguise your profile but your statements speak for who you are. PeaceEternal + HATRED = TormentEternal.

  • lol, your no 'average American'. You probably have a degree in brainwashing people and work for the mossad or illuminati. The hate is your own.

  • FOXNEWSALERT Last year, in little-noticed congressional testimony, FBI director Robert Mueller, Jr. revealed that, "individuals from countries with known al Qaeda connections have attempted to enter the United States illegally using alien smuggling rings and assuming Hispanic appearances."

  • FOXNEWSALERT

    • In June 2006, seven Iraqis were caught in Brownsville, TX

    • In August, an Afghan man was caught crossing the Rio Grande into Texas

  • FOXNEWSALERT • FBI Director Mueller, Jr. has testified that a Hezbollah cell had been "dismantled" after discovering that the terror organization was smuggling operatives across the U.S. -Mexico border to carry out terror attacks inside the United States.

  • FOXNEWSALERT All that is bad enough, but the bombshell — as reported by Mr. LaJeunesse and confirmed in the congressional report — is the role being played by Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. It's well known that the oil-rich Marxist in Caracas has been busy spreading his anti-American "Bolivarian

  • aFOXNEWSALERT Revolution" throughout our southern hemisphere. But this investigation now concludes that Mr. Chavez' nefarious deeds go well beyond a weapons-buying spree and efforts to manipulate elections in Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua.

  • June 6, 1944 150,000 real men stormed the beaches at Normandy,France. 2000 lost their lives that day. Did you think the Nazi's wanted peaceful dialogue?

  • Thanks.

  • The 16th president of these United States also had to temporarily usurp the Constitution for the preservation of the Union. We still have a union thanks to this great man. President Bush faces a similiar situation in that extraordinary powers are not only called for but mandatory to preserve the Union here and now.

  • u sound like you are sure who terrorists are. and thats because you have first hand knowledge or is that because faux news says so ? i just want to know your source of info please.

  • The homegrown terrorists are these little punk mother fuckers that disrespect their parents,teachers, any adult and expect to get away with it. Come to eat dinner at my parents' house erik and I'll bet you take your fucking lid off at the table...My source of info is common sense and dignity,respect and empathy for my fellow humans..and you?

  • you do not deserve a reply sir.

  • Its true homegrown terrorism is pervasive in our society and has to be tackled if we want to win the war on terror,these kids have no respect now.

  • *sigh im sad :(

  • I would rather have a gun and not need it then need a gun and not have it. You say "Non-violence works better than violence". That sounds like Chamberlain in 1940 bowing to the Fuherer when he said he wouldn't invade Poland and then basically all of Europe..thank God for Winston Churchill...PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!!!You know the history...people don't "struggle" for freedom, they fight for it!!

  • Peace through strength I like that.And let's be honest in this world might makes right.

  • And to the other people that actually think this keeps you "so called" civilans, SAFE, well.. just wait 'til they start pointing out ordinary citizens as terrorist..

    then we will see who the cracked pots will be, locked up in gitmo and tortured for sharing god damn mp3 files on your computer. well, good luck to all of you! hopefully most of us will get out of this god damn mess alive when it ends. peace be with you

  • Thanks.

  • Hey man, im from sweden, and whats goin on in the states right now is very upsetting and sad for alot of other people than just you. this maybe dont affect us here in sweden today, but it probably will sooner or later anyway.

    just wanna ask all of you, about what you said, about your government using terror against its own country, who the real terrorist is now?

    well,nice video post anyway. good luck! peace

  • I like it!!

  • I feel sorry for you Msbehaving that you don't realize that acandr DOES know what's being discussed and presented an impeccable argument to boot.

  • Thanks for your great comments.

  • great job man, keep up the good work. rednecks can be intellectuals too.

  • lol I'm not too sure about that one... Thanks.

  • if you can say that- "you might be a redneck"- lol

  • Reluctant, you are 100% correct. I wish we had smart people like you running the country.

  • Thanks.

  • Oh look, a TERRORIST!! Hi Ishmael! Thanks for taking time out from the war on terror and joining us Americans as we debate. "You are ignoring the fact that there is a group of people, looking to end America"-Ishmael

    You couldn't be more wrong.

  • scuse me professor...what "new trial laws" do you speak of?

  • They will not hold you as an unlawful enemy combatant and give you food and respect your religous practices if they caught you.However, they will cut off your head and burn your body and hang it from a bridge. No, they didn't torture my family and friends they murdered them.

  • I agree lets give em back what they did to us, why don't these people live in Iran if that's what they want.

  • Yea, it's the whinning that's gotten us in this mess.

  • I mostly feel the same about what youre saying. And im not even an American. I hope you haven't seen the documentry 911 mysteries. If you do, your gonna feel a lot worse than you do now. So don't go googeling "911 mysteries" and watch the hole documentry.

  • Thanks.

  • OK, here's my beef. I agree that we need to have this country in better shape and the current leadership have not only shaken our faith in gov't but they've made us the laughing stock of the planet. All these things and more have been said constantly. I'm tired of all the rhetoric as much just like you. No one has stepped up to the plate and said, "I'll run this country the right way!" or I know the perfect individual that will right this boat. No one. So let's start throwing out some names!

  • See what I mean? The only people we can relate to and bring to table as a viable candidate is someone that's had a lot of exposure on the TV. Not that I don't like Colbert, but is he really a man of the people? Does he live in the same type of house that the rest of us do? Does he drive the same kind of car? Get the picture?
