OK, earlier this week I checked though some web sites real quick and decided to post this since it was for the 4th of July. Thinking 'well, it MIGHT sift if I am lucky' ..

Yes, it did sift! It is now my most voted video ever.. I am still going 'What the heck..?? I just wanted to get 10 votes...'

I guess, God Bless America and thank God (Super-Jesus??) for Jack English, err, American!

Downvote, it's clearly liberal propaganda trying to satirize our awesome wars.

Happy 4th of July *promote

That's incredible that with over 5,000 ratings, 4,000 comments, and 2,000 favourites (well over) that the view counter is stuck on 213. When are they going to learn that the more you try to cover something up, the more coverage it'll get, and the more people will want it to be heard?

As for the march, that's just a couple miles up the road from me (I'm from the suburbs of VA, just south of DC), so I'll definitely be going. Someone suggested that hey do it on the 4th of July... I really hope that's what they're shooting for.

^ i wholeheartedly endorse every word, sarzy.
knew it was going to be awesome from the opening scene, because that was an event i had already known of, from a trivia book, when i was 9.

great fuckin' movie.
and, honestly? one of the 3 movies, that i always point to, in defense of tom cruise's career.

as fucked up as his 'religion' is, and as much as he mostly drifts on his looks?

watch 'Born on the 4th of July', 'Collateral', and this. (aka, the good scripts)
and the first 'M:I' was pretty solid, too.

i feel for the guy, i really do. i think his "heart" is in the right place, even if his "brain" isn't.

and honestly, he is a damn good actor, when he's in a script that requires it, which is 2 or 3 of 'em. mostly Born On The 4th Of July and Collateral.

but yeah, Scientology is so transparently *bullshit, that this sadly must be playlisted as such.

if i didn't already know what a twisted fuck he really was, i'd have said that Hubbard probably made up the whole fucking thing, intentionally, just to show people what bullshit religion can be, in the hands of those who would wield it, but have no reverence for it.

Every Day's a Holiday (1965)-Clive Westlake wrote the lyrics, but Cab does the best version-
There are 4th of Julys in both of your eyes & a Easter Sunday too
'Cause every day is a holiday since the day that I found you
Each heaven on earth day is like a birthday, a May day rendezvous
'Cause every day is a holiday since the day that I found you
They ought to hang the flags out, they ought to close the bank
And though it's not November still I feel like giving thanks
You're a happy new year, a movie premiere, you're a Christmas present too
'Cause every day is a holiday since the day that I found you

brknphoenix wrote in my profile: "Sorry, I guess I forgot to add the bias. I suppose if I had added "the war sucks, just look at what a terrible president Bush is, those poor people" you would have deemed it unoffensive and not down-voted?"

But I think it's more appropriate to respond here.

You are assuming that my opposition to war is a partisan 'repugnocrat vs demagoglican' issue - which in itself is quite disturbing, and yet instructional. The truth is when I read your "boom" tagline and your chipper "get ready for explosions!" I felt like vomiting. So I have no choice but to inform you how it is that some people have never stopped being keenly aware, since the horrible day this new US war began, that there are real men, women, and children suffering in Iraq. There were countless thousands of children terrified out of their wits cowering in terror beneath the fangs of those wretched bombs. Many of them will be blown to pieces while your fireworks go off. Many are witnessing their mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters getting shredded by shrapnel and debris.

There's a reason new wars are reported the way they are; in the 21st Century the television viewer is either "brought into the theatre" through the eyes and ears of the "embedded" reporter, and thereby separated from those dangerous moments of critical thought (think eg. Cambodia and Vietnam), by the artificial nature of this sense of involvement, or alternately, the viewer is presented, at a safe distance, with a display of fireworks reminiscent of the 4th of July, with all of the shallow latent emotionalism of that spectacle. Other's suffering has become entertainment.

Now there's a skateboard to nuts for you, brknphoenix...

My friends and I did that all the time... We called it "4th of July Paintball'n"... except we would have large scale battles (upwards of 10 kids running around shooting) and we would wear Paintball masks to protect our faces and shields (aka Trashcan lids )
