I hate this one American song called "Land Of The Free." It's all fucking bullshit and biggest hypocracy. You know what fellas? America is truelly the land of the FUCKED! Someone should make a sticker of that saying. I see some stickers that says "Freedom Isn't Free," and my saying should say "America Is The Land Of The Fucked."

Until he addresses 911, Mr. Obama will have no credibility.

Everyone that doesn't live in America, you will truly never know how great of a country we really are so quit you bitching and moaning and take a look at the good things in life.

@TheRightThinker Why is the US the best country on earth? Have you been to any other country? Just asking.

[390bullitt1968]

The think green line preventing American sliding into third world status is reserve currency status. Iraq and Libya both tried to threaten that line. They were taken out. Iran has also made plans to trade oil for gold, the biggest threat to American hegemoney and power,

China, India and Japan are also trying to establish a three way trade currency without Ameri Dollars. Does the USA decide to go hostile on India.

[390bullitt1968]

America became the world's #1 super power in 1945, and determined that to maintain that status there would need to be nations invaded and occupied and peaceful governments tossed out, to allow American installed dictators to follow our orders. The Average American on the streets has no clue but this policy of being Mr tough guy cost over 20,000,000 innocent lives and more than $50 Trillion wasted dollars. America is a terror state, its leaders all whores.

US was hijacked for sure since private bank called FED started manipulating this country almost 100 years ago and after 911 the same people (globalists) put this county in a police state and now people are waking up to the fact that 911 was an inside job, so now they put NDAA and SOPA to control us. No wonder people are start saying "land of the slaves" If we want to get out of this BS Ron Paul needs to be our president so we can get this country back. Freedom is popular. Tyranny is unpopular.

[TheRightThinker]

America is not what it used to be, but it is still the best country on Earth, this is why this schmuck director doesn't make his movies in Venezuela as he always likes to praise. Hypocrite fools

[Bynkers83]

Amen to that! A sick but also greedy country.

[TheCF221]

I respect his opinion and clearly agree that the United States is currently half-dead, but I CANNOT and WILL NOT support this man's propaganda of a horrible and unjust, even oppressive oligarchical dictatorship in MY COUNTRY (CUBA) just because he has been mentally affected by what he has lived through. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO SUPPORT A MAN OR DICTATORSHIP THAT PUTS 11 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER SLAVERY, without any freedoms at all, not even the right to speak their mind.

[trouzerpants]

This man fought bravely for his country, he has every right to his opinion.

Geez, even 18 months ago, Obama revealed his cooption by the Wall Street gangsters and the military/industrial complex.
