Let the Eagle Soar - Music and Lyrics by John Ashcroft

[ajgolfer1]

lol

[ajgolfer1]

good song

[pfootball43]

He may be a corrupt son of a bitch but you got to give him props for his voice and the song

[kurotenshi222]

LET THE EMAIL SOOOOOOOOOOOOAARRR

[jdawgmcdawg]

Needs more vibrato!

[croatoncroaton]

Eagles aren't kosher.

[Kwrtet4Life]

As a Missourian, I'd like to apologize for this epic douche-bag.

[Flashrred12]

@Kwrtet4Life=Apologize for having Janet Reno as attorney general

You suck Jihadist's balls

[Ahiga4545]

@Kwrtet4Life ... epic douche-bag lollllllll, ..... spot on.

[Thelookoutslookout]

Although I agree with you about this awful song, by using words like "typically american" you yourself are guilty of being SMUG and ARROGANT. And you lack NUANCE by using this dumb song as a way to make a cheap indictment against America and Americans. The practice of making massive generalizations about America on YouTube is rather GENERIC and thoughtless. In other words, your post comes across as INSIPID and really, quite SCREAMINGLY BAD.

[Goodnightsrest]

@Thelookoutslookout Bro... caps.

[fathergloom]

When asked why she opposed the workplace singalong, one of the department's lawyers said: "Have you heard the song? It really sucks."

[alexlambert]

I LOVE the "healing in her wings" line is paired up with a bomber dropping a massive payload of bombs

[lawtika58]

I love this song. I know this man and his heart. I grow tired of people putting him down.

[jschob]

@lawtika58

I'm sure he's a nice guy, but it's tough NOT to put someone down who did irreparable damage to our civil liberties.

[bluenotejazz]

Lunatic

[confoundtheidols]

This coming from the same guy who said on National television that political dissidents and other "terrorists" who frightened people with "phantoms of lost liberty...WILL LOSE THEIR FREEDOM."

He is so eerily reminiscent of Chap from Wild Palms.

[vejjy]

Never thought I'd say it, but I actually prefer him as a politician than a singer. Man, this is baaaaaad!!!!

[pick8lock]

i like the thought but hes still better then lil wayne



[poppy90290]

Creepy damn values. Our nation isn't torn by war, but we sure tore up the innocent Iraqis.

[tombqnyc]

that is one of the most twisted pieces of dementedness. Like a German Nazi Anthem for those Bush Crime Family mass murderers

Go Project for A New American Century / PNAC! Keep killing for Jesus.

[Flashrred12]

@tombqnyc Fuck you liberal bitch

[kakompo]

More like "Let the chickenhawk soar" .... this man did ALL he can to dodge the Vietnam war. And he don't mind at all to send the kids of others to die. His kids are already in the service?

[ronniespraggs]

Pity that mighty eagle wouldn't take a big dump right on the sick fuck Ashcroft's head

[ampiet3]

he is not the best person

[DJM442]

once again, John Ashcroft proving that even douchers like to sing karaoke

[stevemtc1]

Im not gong to stoop to your level and exchange insults with you. Japan was out of line committing far worse crimes to our soldiers. Ashcroft didnt have anything to do with ordering detainees to be stacked and nude. Your nothing more than an emotionally desturbed person who should seek profesional help. And yes with few exceptions Japan has always been a great nation. You proof libralism is a mental disorder

[MrWilliamPorter]

you prove you can't spell or have the ability to use spell check.

[crushedbycrust]

Ashcroft is a comlete asshole, but what's with all this "faggot" talk? Is homophobia necessary? Not sure how that word even fits.

[podfunk]

@crushedbycrust Yes, calling Ashcroft a fag is a great insult to homosexuals everywhere.

[khonfosh]

A devout christian sings for the death, massacre and destruction of other human, wow. Where are you Jesus to witness your followers fighting for money (oil), death and destruction of the human race. Did the mighty eagle sour when a nuclear bomb eraced 200,000 civilians in Heroshema and Nagasaki, did Jesus approve?

[stevemtc1]

you bet it did look at Japan today a great nation

[khonfosh]

They are great nation because the US dropped a nuclear bomb on them, how arrogant is that. They always have been a great nation if you looked at their history and need not to have a nuclear bomb be dropped on them. It was the darkest days in Japan history when the bombs were dropped. Japan was ready to end the war after Germany's defeat unconditionally befre the bombs, but Truman the maniac saw otherwise. The original target was Tokoyo but due to heavy clouds it was altered, thank GOD for that.

[southperth22]

he has very poor breath support and several other issues such as to much vibrato... and a stumbling lyric delivery .

[Bakuji]

Do you think a little formal voice training would help? or is he just a pathetic lost cause?

[southperth22]

a pathetic lost cause on every level ....

[Chronoborg]

I just transcribed this song. Yes...it's that bad on so many levels

[bustermk2]

You should have the lyrics scrolling across the screen so we can all sing along with the song.

[Susieshepherd]

Since it is now pretty much common knowledge that there was no plane @ the Pentagon & no plane in Penn, why the fuck is the ag sitting around singing instead of invstigating what really happened on 9/11..? What a shitty ag...his haircut resembles hitlers

[mcduffiesteven]

This was recorded well before 9-11 first of all.

Secondly, there was a plane at the Pentagon. It's common knowledge.

[ChishioHanabi]

"Common knowledge?" Amongst who, might I ask? Because where I live, on planet Earth, we don't believe that at all.

[hanko2001]

What abut King Fahd?

[hanko2001]

built by toils and struggles god has led us through

[chchchchang]

at the 1:50 mark it is "...with healing in her wings, while the earth below her sings...."

and what shows is B-52's dropping dozens of bombs!

[Stormin4815]

Hahaha. What a fucking idiot. Let the eagle soaaaaaar. This is the funniest thing.

[NothingTalk]

The Mighty Eagle gave me Sores on my John Ass Cock

[Jarona]

hahaha! or Ashcrack, as Jello Biafra calls him!

[NothingTalk]

I want to make love to John ashcrofts Face hole.

[IaIaCthulhuFthagn]

J-Ash is too fly for you dope town suckas.

[zio5q]

man hes evil! i want to be just like him screwing up ppl and earning tons of money!

[michaelsean999]

ASSHOLE

[LordHyla]

Written by a man who lost to a dead guy in 2000. He has certainly come a long way.

[Moredread25]

That's why he's pro-life.

[aphid5840]

John Asscrock at his finest.What a loser.What an administration.What a fucking joke.

[akira2501]

That was a little pitchy, dog.

[polopolo150]

What do you want me to say....

the instruments are good, the voice is quite good AND bad.. the text does not say anything to me..

overall, nice that he made a song, but..it could be so much better... or better, they had to help USA and prevent things like the economic crisis.

[fitzspin]

crap singer

[LApirtle]

I LOVE Freedom! Stay the course! Move forward! Bootstraps! Where are my god-damn bootstraps!

[hypnometal]

Wow, that song really does suck!

I have no objection to patriotic music, but boy, that song does suck!

[fjfjvmvm]

Are you that "this eagle [doesn't] have a lot of flying to do?"

I say "she's not yet begun to fly."

[txwhite]

The whole Bush family and administration should be boiled in poisoned oil !!!

[ugetsmart]

scary

[DjDedan]

nutcase

[fjfjvmvm]

I think this really sounds like the work of a schizophrenic. The DSM says that when a schizo does a painting he invariably fills every square inch of canvas. Here Ashcroft apparently uses every lame rhyme he can think of.

[robotsound]

@fjfjvmvm if you don't fill every inch of canvas then you didn't finish the painting!

[SouthernFriedGood]

@fjfjvmvm Ashcroft a schizoid? I guess you think Obama is a good orator too? LOL Now the mental illness of bambi is too numerous to count, say professionals. I've yet to see a psychiatrist comment on Ashcroft though. But thanks for your uneducated input.

[fjfjvmvm]

@SouthernFriedGood Let me inform you of something SFG, simply claiming that I support Obama does nothing in logical sense to counteract my point about Ashcroft. What you're really saying is "Hey this guy is a liberal so you can discount everything he says rather than engage in any argument." That type of stuff may work with your retarded friends and family. It fails with people who can think.

And also I have contempt for Obama. That doesn't mean Ashcroft wasn't an asshole.

[cnadeau71]

@SouthernFriedGood And thanks for your pedestrian sarcasm :)

[abehmiel]

Wooooooooooo!!! Patriot day! Let the eagle soar, John! Gadzoinks!

[gavrilo2007]

This song sucks donkey balls.

[gonzaljevic]

The song sucks really bad.

[antiochus66]

[willyr9]

When DHS comes for the songwriters, they won't waterboard them. They'll just make them listen to this over and over again.

I Wonder what Simon Cowell would say about this one?

[dumbells01]

obviously we can't boo the theme of the song but Ashcroft needs to stop self promotion over tragedy. arrogant s.o.b. "Simon" would have stopped you 1 minute into it. lol

[frank1f11]

compared to the garbage that goes for music today, the whores in pop music the anti-white rap music, ashcroft is quite good

[blueguisee]

hear the song backwards

THE DEVIL WILL SPEAK

[lycurgusthelawgiver]

Really?  Cuz thats what I heard when I played it the right way...

[66Beanshit]

This song is:

Generic

Insipid

Screamingly bad

Smug

Arrogant

Tasteless

Bereft of style or nuance...

In other words, typically american (a name no longer worthy of capitalisation to those of us who know what a "civilised" society is about...)!

[antiochus66]

citifag liberol cornhole muncher.childmolister,ratprick­.

stand up and bee prode of dis all americenn heroe.

we shold put you in gitmo you trator.

english fagot,

come down to baton roge louisana i gut you like a pig.

[1138thz]

@66Beanshit

Banshit...what a perfect name for you. I hate the song, the asshole Nazi who sings it and dim bulb Canadians like you. Ashcroft's tune is almost as lame as the Canadian national anthem. Fwuk Yall.

[Flashrred12]

@66Beanshit=Fuck you Janet Reno cocksucker

[TheShockMaster]

"Have you heard the song? It really sucks."

LOL

[GSXRRIPPERJQ]

What a fucking piece of shit song no wonder the rest of the world hates the U.S. so much we have asshole Att. Generals like this guy singing songs about bombing brown people from rocky coast to golden shore I hope he gets shit bombed by a thousand pigeons!

[trickywarlord2]

While he(John Ashcroft) was in hospital, and seriously ill, on the evening of March 10, 2004, White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card went to his hospital room and allegedly requested that Ashcroft reconsider the refusal of Acting Attorney General James Comey to reauthorize the secret surveillance program, in contradiction of the policy agreed by Ashcroft and Comey immediately before he fell ill.

You couldn't make this stuff up . . .

[yoochoobb]

Right, I was just about to comment on that fact. How scary is it that this guy, John Ashcroft, the right-wing, evangelical christian Attorney General of the United States, was actually more in favor of civil liberties than the White House?

As much as I dislike his conservative and religious views, I respect at least his support of the constitution, if the accounts I have read of this incident re secret surveillance are true.

[rikerdodger]

the eagle soars alright -- it's just when it "craps" (bombs-- and by the way the F-15 is nicknamed "The Eagle") you don't want to be unlucky enough to be underneath it.

Unfortunately these days all too many people have--and bombs are not quite "smart"enough to dsicrimininate between combatants and civilians--whom we nicely dehumanize and duck our responsiblity by labelling "collateral damage"

It's time the Eagle was grounded for a while-- to re-examine it's principles.

[bestinhouse]

Ashcroft should be boiled in oil - not annointed in oil.

[re646]

this song is assfucking horrible

[mistapiccolo]

I find it sad and ironic thata canadian would post anti american imperialist sentiment when you canadian fucks were one of the biggest imperialists nations on the planet 100 years ago serving your masters the british in expanding there empire. This video just shows canadians are ignorant of there own past cause they along with all white countries have zero right to talk about other countries foreign policies.

[IaIaCthulhuFthagn]

Say what you want about Ashcroft - he's good a good old-fashion crooner's voice. (And I'm a Democrat.)

[agwatts]

So what if he does have a good voice, the song still sucks. Why can't he sing some of the classics if he's so good at it?

[yersi]

he's not that bad

[SkiBumFour20]

Impeach George Bush and Dick Chaney.

And waterboard this a..hole.

[fenderoo64]

Scary, full of himself!! No wonder other countries hate America. Please vote for Barack

Obama in 2008.

[alexpasch]

fenderoo:

Vote for Ron Paul instead...end the war and then countries will stop hating America...Barack won't even commit to ending the war by 2013...look it up

[onehundreddollars]

Ron Paul sucks. His stance on the war is the only good thing about him.

[LokiFreign]

My eagle's sore

[jsalvo1]

more like let the eagle rape, pillage, plunder, and wreak havoc on anyone who won't let us install military bases on their soil.

[alexpasch]

jsalvo:

Exactly, so vote for Ron Paul...look him up, he wants to remove troops from all the countries we occupy

[brobin3813]

north carolina has to be the most backwards bunch of inbreed shit i have ever seen

[lonewolfxi]

Actually, no. That crap annoys me as much as anyone else. Just because some idiot wants to sing it in our state doesn't make us inbreed and backwards. So, you sir, need to shove a stick up your bunghole.

[IaIaCthulhuFthagn]

I second what lonewoldxi said, except the part about the stick. You can find assholes in any state in the Union - don't pick on NC.

[willyr9]

To brobin3813,

Please don't blame North Carolina. Although Ashcroft was born in Chicago. He's really from Springfield, Missouri. Just like me and Brad Pitt.

[punkie999]

Very nice and truly shocking video! ;-)

[SertanBaykara]

Let the eagle bore

Me like it did before...

[maforce]

man what was he smoking when he wrote this!... oh wait thats right he thinks people who smoke marijuana are evil and deserve to go to jail! how could i forget

[abf26]

I hate this man and his policies. I disagree with him on almost everything he represents. I think he was a horrible attorney general.

But... I honestly think he's a good singer.

[MOBROOKS]

LMAO!!!

[RJG1971]

Ugh! His singing is worse than his politics. Quite an accomplishment.

[Rampstun]

You've turned his words of war into words of peace. Let the peaceful eagle soar. Well done, but I doubt Ashcroft is smart enough to get this.

[rje1025]

What an absolute douche bag!

[mittensisfat]

i wonder if mr.A. is singing this B rated song by karaoke!!!!!!!!

[wolfgang8u]

wow i just found this video while browsing not from your page. whats up my dear friend peace to you my friend peace for all peace for life and peace for those who have not been able to live. let love rule not greed

[temper21]

Thank you!

[TraeCH]

Well Granako, you sure took the fun out of Ashcroft making a fool of himself. I can honestly say that I won't be able to hear this song the same again.

Very good job on a powerful video!

[laviciousness]

No, I never said "at all costs". Prestige is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Or more corectly put, a means to ends. If those ends are harmed by acts that are meant to promote our prestige, then of course we should cease engaging in such acts.

[laviciousness]

Admittedly, I do think our government's foreign policy should prioritize the lives of Americans over those of others. After all, its primary duty is to the American people rather than to outsiders. If the government deviates from this priority of duty, then it is not worthy of the consent given to it by the People.

[laviciousness]

My own feeling is that we should never have abandoned our allies in South Vietnam, because doing so struck a terrible blow to our prestige. The lesson that we should have taken is we should not take such allies for granted. Incidentally, that's why I favor strong cooperation with Australia, Israel, and Japan.

[laviciousness]

Merely killing is not a military success in the way that I meant it, and therefore I dismiss your remark. I do think that our accomplishments in WWII and the Barbary Wars are good examples, OTOH. In more recent history, our battlefield victories in Afghanistan against the Taliban and Al Qaeda are events to be remembered, although the recent resurgence of both groups are certainly cause of concern.

[laviciousness]

No, keep it up.  There's no shame in celebrating our military successes.

[JohnMichaels20]

this video almost glorifies war more than it condemns it

[maryamkhan]

This video represents how ppl. use 'religion' and 'freedom' to justify horrific actions....there are always 2 sides to each story and the one publicized the most is the Western story....

[aahhhshaddap]

john ashcroft looks like somebody who would get his ass kicked in elementary all the time. even high school.

[lmn8bush]

The mighty eagle's sore !
