Is he a patriot or a traitor?

patriot

Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, and the guy in the video is certifiably insane.

My Family has fought in every war in America, on all sides since arriving 400 yrs. ago on the Winthrop fleet. Including the fight for Texas. Korea, Vietnam.

wow. this is hard to imagine but is part of our history and that is scary.

good points one and all but in pure practice these men were slave owners who took this land from the indians. in long island, ny they didn't even bother to change the indian names. the government is screwed and needs to be held accountable.

allIknowis

France, Germany and England are not Islamo Fascist countries. Where have you been? Its Iran that they are calling Islamo Fascist.
France, Germany and England are Democratic Socialist countries.

Misguided Patriot.

Patriot.

Wow, that was beautiful. It's good to hear someone talk like that

slarabee, cztheday,
You definitely have the right points. A couple hundred years ago, violent revolution was the norm and that is what it took.
We live in a different world today. It has become smaller, people have become somewhat more civilized, and change can be a hard pill to swallow.
There will be changes coming down the pike many will not like. Some of these changes may erode even further "the will of the people".
But change they will, never the less.
Intellect and hard work, yes, these are what is needed now. Not violence, but peaceful protests and the willingness to work within the system.

Hydrokat, BTW National Fascism is not the political system in Europe, but Democratic Socialism is the system.

National Fascism is what Hitler's Germany, Musslini's Italy, Franco's Spain, had. And some countries in Latin America hava a form of Fascism.

Um, actually achieving a better society through intellect and hard work HAS been proven to work for thousands of years.  Think about what you are saying if you truly reject this philosophy.  You are saying that the opposites of these attributes are the winning formula:  stupidity and laziness.  No one who has thought about society's ills for more than 5 minutes really thinks that the latter path is the one that leads to success.There is no such thing as a perfect society.  Humans are imperfect and societies are merely a reflection of humanity.  Every attempt at "utopia" has failed precisely because those efforts failed to adequately take those imperfections into account.The American Experiment has thus far proven to be the most successful in the history of the world in creating a functioning society while maximizing individual freedoms.  But it is far from perfect and in some important ways appears to be going in the wrong direction, at least in my opinion.  Just one example, for me, is the sorry state of the American political system and election policy.  Most people agree that Abraham Lincoln was our greatest President.  Yet I am at a loss as to how someone of his background could possibly be elected today.  The fact that at a minimum he would almost certainly need major plastic surgery to make that mug "camera ready" is really sad.  But when you consider that each of the two major candidates raised something on the order of $100 million and needed every dime to compete, something has gone horribly, horribly wrong there.  And that doesn't even BEGIN to address the obvious fraud occurring in some jurisdictions or the bizarre fact that the people in the most populous state in the country know the results from most of the rest of the country before they even go to the polls.  That just doesn't strike me as proper.To the gentleman who called me a "spineless wimpass Libtard" and a "self hating American reject" thank you for the chuckle. Normally when I see your icon I skip over the ensuing text because I know there is never any substance in your posts but simply variations on verbal chest-thumping. I was actually born on the 4th of July and have therefore had a sort of special reverence for the American Revolution and all that it meant and continues to mean since I was a small child (coincidentally when I was first introduced to Judo and Tae Kwon Do, which also became a large part of my life). Of course, as I grew older, I realized that the date of my birth was only coincidentally the same calendar day as the birth of our country's independence. But I have nonetheless remained committed to staying abreast of the issues I think are of the greatest importance to the continuation of the Founding Fathers' vision. There is not the tiniest doubt in my mind that through my work I do more to support this country each week than you have done in your entire lifetime. But a true patriot works for positive change within the institutions that were established by the Founders for doing so -- even if the changes needed are dramatic. Only a coward, a charlatan, and a simpleton who lacks the intellect to support his positions in public relies on violence and revolution in a free society.

he's a patriot because no matter what he says he cares about the country enough to make this for us.

Yada yada yada...talk is cheap.

"Look at what I can do. I can hide my face and post a video pointing out the obvious to the choir."

Rome is burning and we don't need to be told about the dangers of 2nd hand smoke at this point.

The only thing "changing" is the pains are growing more profound and severe. People are growing more and more aware of what has been taken. Still, nothing you can SAY is going to undo the blunt trauma we've sustained to the forehead of our liberties. The time to talk/educate is long passed.

Thank you for your service to our country, Mystery Marine, but you're country hasn't been "yours/ours" for a while now. Too bad you are just getting on the scene. You may have made a contribution to the cause a few years back.

Mussolini stated that Fascism was the perfect blending of Corporations and government. Implying the people are resources and commodities.

The Democratic wing of the Democratic-Republican party seems to believe in controlling people cradle to grave rather than personal responsibility the government should take care of you. To this end the government should take all the fruits of your labor and the profits of corporations and distribute it to everyone according to its formula.

The Republican wing of the Democratic-Republican party seems to favor Corporations fostering consumerism and using military to protect the interests of them to the determent of the people.

The framers of the Constitution -- especially Thomas Jefferson -- seemed to believe that the People are Sovereign that the National government was to be limited in power and scope to only the items enumerated in the constitution for the most part concerning dealings between the USA and other STATES (what most people now call countries). This is also apparent in that STATES are members of the USA rather than provinces. The power vested in the people who delegate some of it to their STATE the same way as the people granted powers to the national government.

The first assault on this was during the war between the states. The next worst time was during the "NEW DEAL" era. The more the National government is allowed to control things the worse it gets.

>>The only way to achieve freedom is through intellect and hard work towards positive change in our society.

This man is without a doubt a patriot. No question about it. I'm fully on his side, and there are lots of us.........

Was "paranoid psychotic" one of my choices?

This is by far the bravest man Ive heard speak in a long time... he has said what has been in my heart for years now... this man is a PATRIOT and this country needs to be reminded the meaning of the word.

i stand ready... may the lord our god guide us and protect us. for the time for the RISE of the righteous is not soon...the time is NOW.

Patriot

And wide awake......

"Piss off a conservative - Pay necessary taxes."

II hate the mall ,hate causes cancer. Love and acceptance makes people live longer.

quixotic you are correctl

It's not even a matter of questioning; 100% patriot.

I think I would consider his speech patriotic. The problem is the NWO is going to steamroll his kind of patriotism in the growing world civil war as it reaches it's climax. I respect his commitment to virtue and believe that what he is warning of is inevitable. I don't think there are as many who feel as he does within the U.S military as there are those who simply don't know or give a damn. Even so, it's good to hear these things said. Great respect for this one.

Great post, but it is scary too.

It strengthens the rumor of the closed meeting in Congress last March about a coming revolt or civil war and Gerald Celente's warning of the same.

On another note, both Fascism and Socialism are forms of collectivism with the State in ultimate control of means of production and control of the population. Democracy is not much better, because it is rule by the mob. Only a Republic under the rule of law can protect the people, but only if the people insist on allegiance to the law instead of using the government to force their way onto others. This is why we are such a divided nation. We fear the other group because we have become a democracy and know that the other can take away our freedom. Therefore the only possible thing to do is gain control and force our way on to other in order to protect ourselves.

Under a Republic, we need not fear the other group.

But this Government and the two parties have encouraged us to fear each other, and demonize each other so we do not see the true enemy. We look to the government to solve our problems, protect us, but it is the real danger, the real enemy. If it can take care of us and protect us it can rule us and we become its slaves.

Slaves are always taken care of. Just enough to keep them working. We are either free and responsible or obedient wards of the State.

Respecting the rights of each individual protects the the rights of all, but any form of collectivism ultimately destroys the rights of each person.

That gentleman just sized up what should be in the hearts of all Americans. This country was based on freedom. The people who set up our government realized that with the freedoms that we have, it would be possible to concentrate power and abuse the rights of citizens for political gain. We are experiencing that right now. The second amendment was put in the constitution to allow the citizens to revolt against a government that tries to take away our freedoms. Jefferson realized that some day the government would act like it is today. Our fore fathers would be fighting back right now, but we're like the frog. If you stick a frog in hot water, he'll jump out. If you stick him in cool water and heat it up slowly, he'll stay in the pot till he's boiled. We're at 211 degrees fahrenheit as a nation, and there are still people out there saying that they still trust government.

he makes some decent arguments but i think he's confusing a "Republic" with "Republican." These are not at all the same thing.

Russia Owns

Wide awake here.

Ohh..looks like someone is a front sight member.

Akamaial, Rob our future generations? Dude it was already done when GW broke the bank and had the WAR OFF BUDGET. It was off budget so fiscal conservatives and there are lots on both sides would not know how broke we were.

Also GW was humming Dixie while he was telling us the fundamentals were strong, though we knew different.

I called my 2 republican legislatures about 100 times over the spending Buish did and they thought it was just fine, and now they are feaking out.

Its already been done. All that can be done is to lesson the pain.

And globalization come home to roost is a big part of it but the supporters don't want to hear that. Perot was right.
You can live on 250,000 a year with a restoration of the pre-bush tax cuts. Its easy. I can do it and so can ;you.
Quit shoppnjg at Saks.

Yeah, and your messiah Obama and his minions want to rob our future generations of their economic freedom to bail out these same thieves that you rail against....go figure

Wild animals eating each other is a natural form or survival of the fittest too. Letting TB, Polio, and other diseases kill off people is survival of the fittest too, but not necessairly the most intelligent that can make discoveries and innovations.

Mankind should evolve and not return to the law of the jungle and kill eachother off. But many like that result, but only until, its their turn to fall, and then they scream like the bankers who messed up our economy and beg for unrestricted money from those who they harmed with their greed.

capitalism is the only natural form of economy survival of the fittestdemocracy is perhaps the worst form of government because sooner or later 51% of the people figure out they own the other 49%

Clearly you believe that America is fascist and would be better socialist... I disagree on both, and it is evident to me that neither of us will be swayed from our view..

akamaial

You think Fascism is minute in comparison to Socialism?
Ok....Compare modern day France and Germany with HITLER's Germany.
I think you are really thinking about totalitarian communism instead of democratic socialism which BTW is in existence in Canada and they are doing better than we are economically.

Fascism is the combination of government and business and is totalitarian in nature. Hitler's Germany, Franco's Spain and Mussolini's Italy. Some business leaders have said that what present day China has is Fasicism and not real Communism. Don't know about that one but Socialism is better for the individual than Fasism.

Zzz...

Interesting.

I see people as humans and therefore fear what nationalist rhetoric and stereotypes can do on all sides.

Hmmm...

This does illustrate my point that underneath the military programming there are still people, and that appealing to their righteous, human side is what matters most to them. Underneath the nationalist and religious programming there are still people too...whether or not you can get through to them is what makes the difference I suppose.

To be honest, I look towards ideals not to the present or past for anything except understanding the reasons for historical tipping points.

I was actually thinking about the soldiers last night.

Can you imagine going off to war and then coming back to find out your country in the condition it's in?

Because of lies, greed, and foolish adjustable mortgage rates?

WTF? Bailout the rich? WTF?

I would prefer using the technology of the internet to unite the righteous people of the world, but if it ever does come down to military intervention, it's nice to know that some soldiers are still more principled humans than killing machines.

He's right... America was founded as a Republic, not a Democracy. Problem is that our own Republicans have fucked us over worse than the Dems, with their warped ideals of Capitalism and the huge amount of money and power they've received from pulling the strings. I'm thinking about Nixon, Ford, Regan and both JR and SR Bush.

Remember, Bush was in power for the last 8 years and his father 2nd before him... I'm hoping that Obama will undo alot of the messed up stuff Bush and Co did, like the patriot act.

I am awake and aware, but the situation we are facing is so complex it's really hard to grasp. If we look back in history, to our roots, you will see a much different America. We are no longer a true Republic.

Then again, we did fuck alot of stuff up even back then, but we overcame and learned from our mistakes. It's a continually evolving nation and the future is uncertain at this time. Let's all pray Obama is sincere and will do the right thing. We're counting on him.

Obama reminds me a little bit of JFK, both are open and rational people who have acknowledged much of what's wrong with America, like JFK did; and they assassinated him for threatening the empire. Obama is now (appearing to) be doing the same, but there's so much going on that begs the question of what he plans to replace much of the old and corrupted system with and if it will work.
