  • the guy that was hired to sculpt mount rushmore (borglum) was a known KKK member and picked presidents; washington, rosevelt, jefferson, and lincoln because of their contributions to westerward expansion and killing native americans while taking their land.

    U.S. is a land that was built on slavery and genocide, how could the U.S. ever be number 1?

    Mount Rushmore is a slap in the face to the native americans such as the Sioux indians whos creation stories are based in the black hills (their Eden)

  • By the way the USA is not the best country in the world. It's Norway :-P

  • Um... Meaning your country is better than any other country isn't patriotism, it's called nationalism.

  • 4:11 titzoom

  • Yeah, we're really not patriotic at all here in the U.K. I'm not sure why that is but we're just not.

  • He clearly chose Roosevelt out of fear of incurring the wrath of his ghost, had he not.

  • I want to hear Lars' take on total support of the government these past 3 years. I'm sure he's totally 100% behind Obama, I'm sure.

  • 2:58 did that guy have a camera without a lens on it?

  • In all the expert guests they had on that show, Michael Parenti was one of the few who was actually worth his salt.

  • I have the feeling mr. Hanson is confusing patriotism, with nationalism..
