@jerryappleton6855 2 жыл бұрын

To those that are criticising his opening speech: he's not wrong. You can be an environmentalist and a Capitalist. You can be for global cooperation in many fields such as medicine, environmentalism, war crimes etc and be a patriot. Indeed, you can argue that you are the former precisely because you are the later. A patriot wants their nation to thrive, right? To be rich, secure and prosperous. And doesn't being an enthusiastic member of the global community where you cooperate rather than compete do just that? And capitalists want free markets, right? They want people to have the freedom to trade. Well there won't be much trading once our costal cities are under water, food is scarce and half the world are without power or water. So being an environmentalist is a requirement if you want Capitalism continue for more than the next few decades. I always say I'm a conservative precisely because I'm working class. Progressive policies harm the working class most. Examples: soft on crime: guess where all the free criminals go...working class areas. Soft on drugs: guess where all the drug dealers set up their operations and who their biggest customers are...working class boys and girls. Lenient liberal education based on inclusiveness, good feelings and being creative: guess who can't compete with privately educated children who had an education based on discipline, academic rigour and the classics...working class kids. Alternative families: guess who have the highest fatherlessness, broken homes and unstable family arrangements leading to the highest rates of delayed social development, mental illness and identity crisis....working class kids. So you can be both of seemingly contradictory positions. As they aren't: people lie that they are.

One day we may wake up to the news Los Angeles was struck by a nuclear missile. And Biden is constantly dividing this country furthur after lying and saying he'd unite us again. Sad world.

Proud of an entitled brat who wanted a mass genocide across the planet by calling for an immediate end to fossil fuel use? That would have killed billions of people due to various reasons. Queen Greta said what her handlers wanted her to say. Maybe you didn't see the panel she was on where when asked a question she was unprepared for, she absolutely had no idea how to answer it. She was an idiot child and is now an idiot young adult who needs to grow the fuck up and find out some actual truth instead of spreading the goddamn alarmism she was so good at.

"Climate Change" is a hoax. It was "Global Cooling" in the 70s. They told us we were all going to freeze to death. Of course that didn't happen. Then it was was "Global Warming" until the natural cycle of the Earth started back on its cooling trend and it was then changed to "Climate Change" to cover all bases.

These lyrics were provided to Steven Van Zandt in 1982 in Sonoma California at my mother's house. Along with 8 songs featured on Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA album. Bruce and Steven have failed to pay me for these lyrics. "I am A Patriot" was inspired by a conversation I had with Bob Marley in 1973- that along with the movie "Born Free." Entertainment lawyers recommended that Bruce and Steven sign me to their production company with a confidentiality agreement. What next?

@@ZooomaCW I'm not lying and shame on you for making that assumption. In 1973 I was in Jamaica at the Blue Hole. Bob Marley and his brother were there. Bob had an old Martin and his brother was playing a maliba bass made out of a green Samsonite suitcase with a 4-inch whole cut in it and some strips of metal from an old saw blade. They had a copy of the Wailers first released on 8-track. They were trying to sell me a copy for $10. I already had a copy up at the house overlooking Port Antonio. Bob asked me what I thought. I told him I didn't think it would sell. He asked me why. I said because people want to hear The Rolling Stones. He said he was going to try to do it anyway. I wish him good luck Bob replied "The river opens for the righteous." I said the River open for the righteous?" He replied "Someday." The rest of the song is a discussion about politics I had with my 17 year old friend Nevin Miller. The part about the Lions comes from a movie entitled "Born Free." My agreement with Steven is that if he used the lyrics and he made a bunch of money that he would have to give me some. Steven promised me he would. We shook hands on it. He did give me eight tickets in 1988 to watch him and Bruce work at the Oakland Coliseum on September 23rd at an Amnesty International concert. It was Bruce's birthday. Bruce had to work on his birthday. There was no cake or ice cream it gets hectic backstage. There's nothing wrong with the truth. Not all people are evil..
