An absolutely fabulous PRO AMERICAN Statement delivered by 2 Canadiens !!!!
Who's got a link ? And do you think we should lobby/email/call radio stations across America to get it Rejuvenated ?
I think it would be great for OUR country !!!|||http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/si鈥?/a>
These are the words. I still have the record that I bought back then.
I personally don't think the original version would do much good if it were rejuvenated. Too many people would hear it and think it was ancient history. However, an updated version would most certainly be appreciated.|||Here is the link
http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/si鈥?/a>|||As a Vietnam veteran, the words of a non-participant,especially a foreign non-participant, fall upon deaf ears, You'd have to have been in the game to get the full impact, and the telling of a story that you helped write is simply that, however ,I am quite sure,that those who chose not to support their country,militarily, will find some comfort in ....... words|||NAZI fascist imperialist garbage is all this kind of propaganda is . We made a killing off the war and rebuilding . AS this effort was coming to an end the rich had gained so much power that our graduated tax system was under attack . I can remember a day when people paid 70% in taxes and we had growth in America . Then people adopted the Idea that taxes should be fair . That has brought us to todays problems and I do not blame the greedy rich for wanting to maintain the current system . But we are in it together or we are in it for ourselves . If it is just for ourselves then we have what we have today . 40,000,000 at poverty 15,000,000 below poverty and around 6,000,000 homeless .
We have created the working poor in America . People who work 40 hours or more a week who earn less then 25,000 a year . You say ok I know people who make less then $12.50 and those jobs are easy . So why should they pay any more .
People like you want something for nothing ,or from those who have to work for a living . We are not all white come from a two income professional family that has two homes and plenty of money . Most of america works 40 hours a week pays 800-1000 dollars a month rent and is subsidized by mommy and daddy to some extent .
The rich love control and I will bet you that a family with homes cars food vacations second homes and plenty of money if you look close has someone who is living on the streets almost . Who has had problems that the family has ignored . A gay brother or sister who is cut off from family help . Kids who are kicked out at 17 for getting pregnant or those who leave home because of abuse .
We need to fix this and make those people responsible for taking care of the people they have brought into this world . We have what 200,000 alcohol and drug rehab centers . At least one center in every community paid for by the state . And half of those people getting treatment come from families with plenty of money .
They are getting over on the tax payers dollar and this needs to end . Families need to pay for members so I do not have to .
You go right ahead trying to make this a feel good kick but nation all you want as it spirals out of control .|||I have ask that the National anthem be played during the broadcast day, if they won't do that what chance does
"The Americans" have ?
