Alternate lyrics: Well I'm proud to be an American, where at least I think I'm free. And I know I have a right to a chair when I'm waiting at the DMV. And then I stand UP, but sit back down, 'cause I thought they were callin' me. I'm proud to be an American, where they let me think I'm freeeeeee!
Douglas Morrison Check on the Senate votes. The Republicans voted against the V A bill three times before all the headlines. Then they voted to pass it.
surrealnumber It will get worse and worse as it expands more and more, has more and more regulations and red tape, and becomes more and more bloatedly bureaucratic. Obamacare now is the best it's ever gonna be.
Here in California there was a prop to provide healthcare, housing and job training for the vets returning from war. Last I heard the measure past. Anyone hear anything about the Injured warriors project? This group is suppose to aid vets returning from war.
doorran by definition all government is abusive... Could you explain whats wrong with voluntarism? Its the only way to allow each and every person to choose how to live their life
doorran "Government" is force, voting is violence, public schools are brainwashing and taxation is theft. There are no forms of good government, just as there are no good rapists, robbers and mass murderers. Good ideas don't require force. Fuck statetheism and their holy fictional deity "the government".
Remy seriously is a genius. It's so hard to make a satire song (especially a rap) that doesnt sound contrived or corny. He is so freaking good at it. I'd say he should be more popular but popular things are usually lame. I hope he makes more. I love them all, political and otherwise.
I love the attention to detail in these videos. The Bergdahl reference was priceless!!! I watch your videos over & over when they come out!!!! Well done - Before you know it you'll be the SANE version of Jon Stewart
Every time I watch a Remy video on ReasonTV, I think it can't get any better, but with each new video, I'm proven wrong. If this trend continues, I will surely die of an overdose of awesome before the year ends. THANK YOU REMY! Sharing this... a lot!
Danial B. You have to put everything in to context. We weren't perfect but we had a constitution in place so we could get better. back then we were ahead of the world on most of those things.
Danial B. Now I might be wrong on this, but I thought the Articles of Confederation left slavery alone? Seems kind of contradictory to bring the two things up together >_>
squee116 They did. Also once they figured out that they were not subjects of another man the idea that slavery was wrong came to a moral forefront. They tried to avoid many of the hardships that eventually occurred after the Emancipation Proclamation (sharecropping etc) so they put a sort of time limit on slavery. Seeing this, the less honest men amongst congress got a compromise to have slave holding and non slave holding states while running a racist campaign to make people think blacks were less than human, eventually this spread to native Americans, but to say that was a systemic from the start is dishonest at best I mean it isn't mentioned often but there is another founding father who is oft overlooked these days (much like Crispus Attucks, though he far exceeds the importance of Attucks) his name was Canassatego, of the Iriqouis Confederacy. In fact the Iriqouis Confederacy was one of the most important elements shaping our early government.
My father died in a VA hospital (The Bronx). Veterans served and earned the right to a bed in a decent healthcare facility. Instead this is what they got. How do you think the average person would fair when all healthcare is controlled by this very same government? I learned in 1980, doing a debate against socialized medicine (I drew the short straw), that Canadians with money came to the US when they really needed medical care. We proved that it was not nearly as good up there as it was down here. We still loss (feels). People are cowards.
I can't believe these videos don't have 10s of millions of views I've been watching this stuff for 4 hours straight it's all gold. Thank you from a veteran who told the VA to kiss his *zz and started using health insurance instead of saving a nickel at the expense of my health
That is literally how it works. In fact they had the exact same thing happen in the UK, where wait lists that were too long, were moved to a second unofficial list.
I love you, Remy. Barbara-Ann Kaidy A second generation American and proud Syrian, Lebanese, Armenian, Ethiopian and Viking descendant. We need to stand-up and speak out.
GOD Bless Lee Greenwood & GOD BLESS The UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Thank you guys for bringing this Scandal to the forefront again. Keep up the good work.
Bowe Bergdahl was a soldier in Afghanistan that abandoned his post and deserted before being captured by the Taliban. A search and rescue was ordered and a minimum of six soldiers, possibly more, died in vain trying to get him back. He was finally retrieved in a POW exchange where we traded him alone for five, count em, FIVE Gitmo detainees. Bergdahl is living proof that the only Americans our Deep State government cares about, are Americans that are traitors.
For quite a few years, I've no longer been any kind of fan of what Ayn Rand called a "patriotic bromide", but I gotta hand it to Lee Greenwood for permitting Remy and Reason to use his song.
When a majority of people vote for leadership of this type. These are the results of this type of leadership. Everything that once was is gone, the little bit left is being chiseled away. Life as a lot of us once knew it is different now. We need to get through these changes, embrace them and saddle up for more and a whole new way of life. Toyota trucks, womens soccer, video games, men without identities, minimal professional jobs, men playing housewifes and more of history being repeated in reverse. Its now the way and who knows when it will change. But it is life. Find your happiness and let the rest of the fruit and nut pie go on by. lol.
My local VA has bums on the lawn. Just guessing those men risked their lives to serve their country, now they have a lawn where they can be homeless and unemployed.
Dunno whether to laugh or vomit. Personally I think the soldiers should revolt. It's too much to ask that they refuse to kill and die for politicians but at least they should go on strike or something. A million men and women in uniform currently enlisted or retired, aged 18 to 90 something, taking to the streets in DC in their combat or dress uniforms carrying their combat rifles or private weapons, flags, and signs. Imagine thousands singing a song like this refusing to murder for the government's cronies until they get the healthcare they were promised. That's an occupy movement I could get behind. And that's a demonstration I would *LOVE* to see the police try to break up!
This is a BRILLIANTLY-WRITTEN song, and stunningly performed and engineered! The only problem is that for SOME fascist reason, the lyrics disappear every time the song ends... so for the benefit of those of you out there who, like me, would like to learn the song for karaoke night and would like to be able to see the lyrics long enough to practice them without the magic vanishing act, here they are: Well they'll Be there in an instant with the stars and stripes unfurled! Gladly going into the most dangerous places in the world. But today it seems our fighting folks are in danger once again... You may have seen the headlines in the news or watching CNN. When we heard the wait times on our list were so long that patients died, We said, "This is government-run healthcare so we're gonna do what's right." "We're gonna grab a piece of paper and we'll make a second list. We'll just say that wait times aren't that long and that no deadlines were missed... and when people die, we'll cross them off and pretend they don't exist, because there ain't no doubt we can't be fired! GOD BLESS THE GOVERNMENT!" "It ain't JUST about the soldiers... you see, WE ALSO sacrifice. There are days we don't get home until the crack of 4:45!" "But for all the soldiers out there who are sick and need some help, what can you do to get the government to care about your health?" "Well you could grab a piece of paper and write down something like this, and then abandon your whole unit... then they'll care when you get sick; and if people DIE when they look for you, we'll just pretend they don't exist... Cause there ain't no doubt, WE CAN'T BE FIRED... GOD BLESS THE GOVERNMENT!!!"
What the hell did you expect? Your economy is fucked and you've been run by corprofascists for decades. You are not patients, you are failed a non fodder. Loose ends in the war racket. And if you are, you fought for evil and deserve shitty care if any. Glad I'm not paying taxes in USSA.
God damnit man. This has more meaning than the actual fn song. Those of you that believe in a higher power, pray. Like yesterday. If you did then it ain't fuckin working. Look for the next best thing please.
They literally stripped my deployments and surgeries out of my medical records. Just pretended it was normal for a guy to have two different campain ribbons and a combat meritorious promotion and not so much as a single pre-deployment check up. The VA fucked me for life.
The ignorance of my fellow Americans cuts me to the bone One person wishes we had men like in 1776 instead of aspiring that we who are here and now be the men for our times.Another person thinks Obamacare has some level of competence and wonders if we should keep the VA as if anything we replace it with will be immune to the same problems. Others argue that it was better in the past when we in America right now, with all it's problems have more freedom than most of the world has had for most of man's time upon it.You can whine or choose to be part of the solution.
except the government promised there people they would take care of their medical in return for military service.. yeah it's now corrupted.. it was better under Tricare. Now we have vets dying before they can be seen and the VA hiding that by changing waiting lists.
