There’s a difference between wanting to improve your country…& hating it. He’s talking about the people who DO hate it! Not about people having a conversation for progress…because that’s one thing he tries to encourage.
Yep. And every time, every single time, you scratch the surface just a little bit, just a couple questions, the hammer and sickle falls right out. Because that's WHY they want to tear it down.
He's referring to those who hate the fundamentals of America, not those just complaining things aren't currently going right. But those who hate what America was founded on.
There's a big difference between 'improvement' and trying to change our 'society' or 'traditions'. Tearing down statues and revamping our history is not improving anything. Tom isn't trying to suppress anyone's opinion. He is saying, if you don't like it here, leave and he will help you pack.
Yep. And every time, every single time, you scratch the surface just a little bit, just a couple questions, the hammer and sickle falls right out. Because that's WHY they want to tear it down.
As a Canadian as is Tom (originally), we don't even have a first amendment, nor do we have free speech. I do think many Americans take that for granted, and don't understand the real value of that freedom. States rights ... lol what are those. But we don't have that either really. I love my country but I think like Tom also understand the limitations Canada was built on unlike America. America is a special country, the government is the actual problem, not the republic.
@@ljf6322 Thank you! I'm not sure how many Americans know about Canada and speech laws. For example they passed a bill here, Bill C-16 that could prevent Tom from speaking his opinions on gender in his lyrics as he has freely been able to in the USA. We don't have have the right to do that here by law, rather we have a law that tells us we must not. It's insanity and we don't exactly live in some far off land. If the USA doesn't come together and protect their Charter it will be gone. As we can see it's already being trampled. And that should be a global concern. If the most free nation looses its freedom what does that mean for the world?
“I won’t kneel for the anthem cause the flag is what I’m standing for!” “You can hate the government and still love the country! The fundamental values of America are concrete!” He’s the ultimate American citizen and he deserves for this to get multiple top spot rankings for tying to spread the truth and wake us up to love not only this country, but our fellow Americans!! He also looks AMAZING in that uniform 😍 #America #HangOverGangForever 🇺🇸🤘🔥🌟🏆
There was some very horrible stuff that happened in America's past but today in 2021 if you live in the United States of America then you are absolutely NOT Oppressed. If there was oppression in America we would not have hundreds of thousands of people from a plethora of ethnic backgrounds making the dangerous trek to come here from other nations.
100% I've seen other foreigners react to this and they say be grateful you have freedom of expression. Some would absolutely love to change places with some spoiled people in America. It's sad to see..
‘Acknowledging atrocities is all I can do when I’m wrongly convicted’ He’s said as much. You sound like you disagree with a point but you actually agree with Tom 💯 on that.
Thanksgiving for most Americans is about being thankful for family and friend and for what we have. We don't sit down at the table and say thank God for all those deaths. Ridiculous!
Big difference between hatred and can be improved........ Served 21+ yrs.... Love the respect and support Tom shows to the national symbols of the flag and anthem, and the military. #HOG
I don't think he is saying don't try to improve or speak up when something is wrong. But he is talking about people who just hate our country and what it is founded on. Namely: Democratic Republic, Free Market Economy, The Bill of Rights... these are the fundamental ideals that our nation was founded on. You change that then we are no longer America.
I feel if anyone is offended than they are the problem. Nothing about loving our county should be offensive. Great reaction. And wanting improvement is ok. But to hate the country and just complain all the time about it and the people in it is wrong. They don't know how good we have it. There is a difference between hate and complaining and doin nothin about The issues. Blame game and The hate needs to go.
The reason they hate America is because they have the freedom to do so, especially now when the left is cancelling conservative or anyone who disagree with the left. I bet that if they would go to another country like afghanistan, china or central America they will be to afraid to say anything.
we all get it horrible stuff happened in our country. It has been acknowledged for decades. Now we are expected to feel guilty for what has happened in our country 75-200 years ago. Every single holiday does not need to be blasted or made to make people feel guilty.
You are so SPOT ON with your common sense & balanced views. THANK YOU! I love this country, though it's not perfect. I was not raised, nor do I know anyone who was raised to hate or look down on Black people. Yes, there may be a few racists out there, but the vast majority of White race is being grossly misrepresented and it's very hurtful! I miss the days when we got along. Most of the athletes, singers & celebs I looked up to in my childhood were Black People. M.Jordan, M.Jackson, Bill Cosby, Whitney Houston, Oprah, Tina Turner, Prince, Lionel Ritchie, Eddie Murphy, Wil Smith, etc.
i tell everyone who hates America who has never left our country, talk to someone from another country or try visiting one, talk about the freedoms they have and what they cannot do. . then get back with me. it will open their eyes .
I'm finding it harder and harder everyday to explain American Freedom to people who didn't grow up with it. They have no concept of how free we were just 23 years ago. It's sad.
Yep we're losing our freedoms more and more everyday. You're not allowed to question 😷 or jabs. I just saw a News clip saying that they deleted. I think million videos about "medical misinformation".
You totally agreed with his point by proving his point in parts where u wanted to speak but didn’t because of the fear we all have now by offending someone and being canceled. And when you were telling ur opinion I was like yeah exactly that’s what Tom is saying here
This is why I always say the two party system should've never become a thing. That's why I'm a right moderate and make it a point to listen to everyone so I can see everything better.
There are an awful lot of people I know personally who hate the foundational principles of America. They hate the free market, they hate the ability to be able to build wealth if you work hard and plan accordingly, they hate that people are allowed to have their own opinions, they hate that people are able to make their own healthcare decisions, they hate the men and women in the military, etc… they beg for socialism and they want to steal the wealth others have built because they don’t have what it takes to build wealth for themselves.
People can’t take today’s dos and don’ts and apply them to peoples decisions who lived hundreds of years ago. Different times. Different measures. As the human species evolved we have gotten better. Just like the constitution allows us to amend it to make a more perfect union. Always striving!! Leave the pilgrims and Indians alone. What’s done is done. Take the good acknowledge the bad amd move on!!!
I agree with V Cat. Listen someone has to say it Jeez about time someone stands up. Yeah I'll help him pack their bags too. If you agree with him 100% then you know he can' t put everything in a song it would be 10 minutes long and you have been following him long enough that you by now should know where he is coming from. America is in a very very bad place right now and much worse than alot of people want to admit so if he has to scream it a million times to at least get people to open their minds at least a bit then maybe it is worth it. I don't know your stance. Of course it's frustating but I do not believe in all good nor all bad . If we all drank the same thing or had same brands of cell phones and same hair color/haircut etc. we would all be bots but when you see your country disintegrating maybe time to stand. Just talk to some people who went through and survived world war 2 and I'm not delusional. Anyway enough of my rant. I do appreciate you doing a review so a big Thank you #HOG

Brother, I am a conservative. I agree with everything you said. I dont know your politics or care. Your positions represent most Americans left or right. We agree on 98% of things. I am against radical right and left. I am all for free speech and American loving Patriots.
Most people I know don’t mind acknowledging injustices and dark parts of American history, the problem is destroying monuments/history and making historical topics off limits and forbidden to discuss. Good reaction though.
We aren't necessarily celebrating the history behind the holiday... It's the tradition of coming together and seeing family members while eating a meal prepared by all. Americans gets very few paid holidays compared to other countries so most Americans take advantage of every chance we can get to come together and be thankful to have people we love. You don't have to be Christian to celebrate Christmas. It's the tradition of family and making memories in our lives. We are living today... we aren't living our ancestors lives in the past.
This world would be boring as fuck if we all agreed on everything 100% of the time. We all see things and think of things differently but to some people, that's unacceptable. It's like 1984, we're all supposed to say the same things and do the same things even if we don't agree. If we try to speak up, especially against the government, we disappear. Even if we say we agree, we don't always and more people need to open their mouths and speak out against the things we don't agree with or don't like...it isn't as bad as 1984 yet, but it's headed that way and that means every person who has died for our freedoms will have died in vain.
Finally! Thank you, straight facts man! It's real simple, think for yourself. Make the best decision you can for you and your own and move on, quit worrying about everyone else. 100% agree.
I'm just watching this for the first time. Listen when it comes to understanding what people are saying about what Thanksgiving is about but not taking it too far. Listen there's no light weight way to address that topic of discussion, just like light and darkness can't coexist. If a person doesn't want to celebrate Thanksgiving then don't every empire in the history of humanity was built by the shedding of blood by conquerors. I'm not going to apologize for being a citizen of The United States Of America because I love my country, and I love Thanksgiving . Now listen how can the United States survive when it's own elected leaders are determined to take it down? The answer is it can't. I don't care what complexion you're skin is no one enjoys a tooth ache, and no one wants to see their kids starving. If we keep stepping back and don't stand up to these so called leaders we're going to wake up one day soon remembering how nice it was when we were free. Remember these people work for us not the other way around. We hire and fire them with our votes, and we pay their salaries with our taxes, and they want to tell us how to keep ourselves safe, but they don't care about you or me. Once there was a marketed movement called The Charitable Transport Company, and they bussed people to safety camps, and this company was led by the Nazi's and they bussed Jewish families to concentration camps. They labeled it as safety and charity but we know how it turned out don't we. Is what's going on right now by our government any different? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck it's a duck. It's time to ask ourselves if we're willing to get on those buses for our safety or for us it's wear a mask and take a shot for now, and if you don't you'll lose your right to work and support your family. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE FREEDOM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
I realize your reaction was long ago, but wow! I appreciate everything you said, especially the need to “walk down the middle” of the political aisles and that each side should compromise. That was well stated! How refreshing for someone to realize that we should be able to have opinions and debates! You didn’t say anything stupid, good reaction to a controversial (but mostly true) video. Subscribed!
I don’t think Tom is saying it’s bad to remember history around thanksgiving. I think he’s talking the people that are protesting the holiday and canceling it.
A big issue with "compromise" is it's always compromising from the current position (that is already far to one side or the other's advantage) and where the current party wants it. In other words, not a middle of the road from both sides, but a "middle of the road" from the current position, and one side or the other. Take gun control. Splitting the difference would put us at a much more gun-friendly state than the current position. But Left wants "compromise" from the current left-friendly position and what they really want. So instead of a split between Left (heavily regulate all guns and ban any that they deem scary) and the Right (pretty free, let states decide their own rules) the Left screams about "compromise" from the current version of gun control and banning them all... which is not a compromise except between the Left and the far Left. Here's an idea: mandate gun safety training be offered FOR FREE. How is that Constitutional? Well the 2A says that a well regulated militia is necessary for a free society. What's "well regulated" mean in the parlance of those days? It means well functioning, and equipped sufficient to perform its duties. And what is "the militia"? Well according to letters and documents from the Founding Fathers, it's the entire populace of the able-bodied who can serve to defend the country. So. In order to promote a well functioning militia, they need to be able to use their weapons safely and effectively, should they choose to exercise that right. How much safer would we all be if every Middle School and High School taught the 4 Firearms Safety Rules? Always remember Treat, Never, Keep, Keep: 1) Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. 2) Never point a weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy. 3) Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. 4) Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire. Bonus / 5) Know your target and what lies beyond it. So even if you don't intend to use a gun, you know what the proper way to handle one is. And basic marksmanship courses should also be free in High School. We used to have gun clubs in most public schools and kids would bring their rifles, and there wasn't a problem with school shootings. Probably for the same reason mass shootings don't tend to do very well in Texas, at least unless it's a "gun free" zone (why do they always shoot up 'gun-free' zones, I wonder? A real mystery, hmm!).
In the past it always seemed to me that, for the most part, the left and right saw similar problems and both wanted to solve them. They might have had different ideas about how to solve them, but there was general agreement about what the problem was. I don't know how much of that we even have anymore
I'm Chiricahua Apache and I celebrate thanks giving because it's a time to see my family that I don't otherwise get to see. I know the history behind it but for me it's not about that anymore. I just wanna love, be happy, and be free. Trump 2024
Let me start off by saying I agree with some of the things you said. However, for one thing, I don't think the solution you put forward for compromise can be done as simply as you would do it. People are complicated, some people are near sighted, some people lie, some people are malicious, some people in our government act like they're on different sides when both sides are doing the same thing. I don't have solutions to the problems either.
Real bravery is the willingness to put your life on the line for the freedoms and welfare of the citizens of the country in which you live. Thats what I think Tom was trying to say
Doc I love you and everything you do Tom was spitting facts He is obviously limited in the time frame for what he has to say But he did say that because of those who fought and died to allow your freedom to do and say stay free...if you don't like it then gtfo and see how you like it wherever you end up
I think in terms of knowing the history like with Thanksgiving it comes down to just killing the past. Not erasing it, but killing it yes this is its origin and it's ok to teach it in your history class, but outside of that I believe we have to let it go and push the more positive meaning it represents now. I feel like to bring about true change and make the world better people have to stop wearing the past on their sleeves, it's like making mistakes in the past (as we all have) if u live in the past focusing on all your shortcomings whether it was something bad u did or just coming up short in work or academics those things can hold u back from achieving a different outcome then what u experienced in your past. The past shouldn't be forgotten, but at the same time u gotta kill it and let it stay where it belongs in the past only carrying the lessons that y learned from the past along with u. We gotta let the past stay in the past and actually look at the present instead of "hey look at this logo well these people were done dirty in the past so we cant have that its bad" like that's dumb af because to be fair like Tom said every race and nationality has blood on their hands no ones innocent so while u blame a certain race or nationality for shit that happened 100s of years ago and all honesty someone can do it to u to because no ones innocent so wouldn't it be better to just let it go and stay where it belongs in the past.
Completely agree with you. I think the two sides dont even try to listen to the other side. If one side is for something then the other side automatically is against. Just to do so. Wish they could figure out we all want united in some way instead of this constant division. Great reaction.
It’s sad that a Canadian is more of a patriot of freedom than most Americans these days. H.O.G. The Army and we must be willing to fight for what we hold dear. We also must fight to show respect for and honor those who died for our freedoms. Time to wake up from this Nightmerica. #hangovergang forever 🤘🏿🤘🏻🤘🏽🤘🏼🇺🇸

Yep. And every time, every single time, you scratch the surface just a little bit, just a couple questions, the hammer and sickle falls right out. Because that's WHY they want to tear it down.

fundamental...what does that mean?
@@mateo98100 your response is fundamentally passive aggressive.
@@mateo98100 look it up bro.
It really caught me by surprise that he did not get what Tom was referring to.
There's a big difference between 'improvement' and trying to change our 'society' or 'traditions'. Tearing down statues and revamping our history is not improving anything. Tom isn't trying to suppress anyone's opinion. He is saying, if you don't like it here, leave and he will help you pack.

It's like 1984, we're all supposed to say the same things and do the same things even if we don't agree. If we try to speak up, especially against the government, we disappear. Even if we say we agree, we don't always and more people need to open their mouths and speak out against the things we don't agree with or don't like...it isn't as bad as 1984 yet, but it's headed that way and that means every person who has died for our freedoms will have died in vain.
Appreciate you Rich
Finally! Thank you, straight facts man! It's real simple, think for yourself. Make the best decision you can for you and your own and move on, quit worrying about everyone else. 100% agree.
Definitely agree with a balance some people just go away to overboard and others don't care enough
I'm just watching this for the first time. Listen when it comes to understanding what people are saying about what Thanksgiving is about but not taking it too far. Listen there's no light weight way to address that topic of discussion, just like light and darkness can't coexist. If a person doesn't want to celebrate Thanksgiving then don't every empire in the history of humanity was built by the shedding of blood by conquerors. I'm not going to apologize for being a citizen of The United States Of America because I love my country, and I love Thanksgiving . Now listen how can the United States survive when it's own elected leaders are determined to take it down? The answer is it can't. I don't care what complexion you're skin is no one enjoys a tooth ache, and no one wants to see their kids starving. If we keep stepping back and don't stand up to these so called leaders we're going to wake up one day soon remembering how nice it was when we were free. Remember these people work for us not the other way around. We hire and fire them with our votes, and we pay their salaries with our taxes, and they want to tell us how to keep ourselves safe, but they don't care about you or me. Once there was a marketed movement called The Charitable Transport Company, and they bussed people to safety camps, and this company was led by the Nazi's and they bussed Jewish families to concentration camps. They labeled it as safety and charity but we know how it turned out don't we. Is what's going on right now by our government any different? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck it's a duck. It's time to ask ourselves if we're willing to get on those buses for our safety or for us it's wear a mask and take a shot for now, and if you don't you'll lose your right to work and support your family. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE FREEDOM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
I realize your reaction was long ago, but wow! I appreciate everything you said, especially the need to “walk down the middle” of the political aisles and that each side should compromise. That was well stated! How refreshing for someone to realize that we should be able to have opinions and debates! You didn’t say anything stupid, good reaction to a controversial (but mostly true) video. Subscribed!
Tom killed it.
#HOG4LIFE
If we are going to live in the past we can’t move forward I agree with you
You have the right to protest......but the fact you protest doesn't make you right.
That's what many people don't understand.
Doc,Tom's get into your nerves.100% he will get a lot of heat with this song .
I don’t think Tom is saying it’s bad to remember history around thanksgiving. I think he’s talking the people that are protesting the holiday and canceling it.
"There's a balance to it"
Perfect commentary Doc!
Takes a Canadian to tell lil bro USA how it actually is. Thumps up
A big issue with "compromise" is it's always compromising from the current position (that is already far to one side or the other's advantage) and where the current party wants it. In other words, not a middle of the road from both sides, but a "middle of the road" from the current position, and one side or the other. Take gun control. Splitting the difference would put us at a much more gun-friendly state than the current position. But Left wants "compromise" from the current left-friendly position and what they really want. So instead of a split between Left (heavily regulate all guns and ban any that they deem scary) and the Right (pretty free, let states decide their own rules) the Left screams about "compromise" from the current version of gun control and banning them all... which is not a compromise except between the Left and the far Left. Here's an idea: mandate gun safety training be offered FOR FREE. How is that Constitutional? Well the 2A says that a well regulated militia is necessary for a free society. What's "well regulated" mean in the parlance of those days? It means well functioning, and equipped sufficient to perform its duties. And what is "the militia"? Well according to letters and documents from the Founding Fathers, it's the entire populace of the able-bodied who can serve to defend the country. So. In order to promote a well functioning militia, they need to be able to use their weapons safely and effectively, should they choose to exercise that right. How much safer would we all be if every Middle School and High School taught the 4 Firearms Safety Rules? Always remember Treat, Never, Keep, Keep: 1) Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. 2) Never point a weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy. 3) Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. 4) Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire. Bonus / 5) Know your target and what lies beyond it. So even if you don't intend to use a gun, you know what the proper way to handle one is. And basic marksmanship courses should also be free in High School. We used to have gun clubs in most public schools and kids would bring their rifles, and there wasn't a problem with school shootings. Probably for the same reason mass shootings don't tend to do very well in Texas, at least unless it's a "gun free" zone (why do they always shoot up 'gun-free' zones, I wonder? A real mystery, hmm!).
HAH!!! Jokes on you, I drink that as well! 🤣🤣🤣 For real tho great reaction as always! Keep it up.
Let's Gooooooo!!! #HOG #AMERICA
I love you reactions and I love Tom McDonalds songs and I agree we should be working together to make America better
Every country has a bad past, problem is I dont see anyone running to any other country besides Amreica makes me think hmmm..
HOG FAM is here for it! 💪😎
In the past it always seemed to me that, for the most part, the left and right saw similar problems and both wanted to solve them. They might have had different ideas about how to solve them, but there was general agreement about what the problem was. I don't know how much of that we even have anymore
I think the 2 party system in America is problematic cause there are only two sides which reduces compromise
I'm Chiricahua Apache and I celebrate thanks giving because it's a time to see my family that I don't otherwise get to see. I know the history behind it but for me it's not about that anymore. I just wanna love, be happy, and be free. Trump 2024
Let me start off by saying I agree with some of the things you said. However, for one thing, I don't think the solution you put forward for compromise can be done as simply as you would do it. People are complicated, some people are near sighted, some people lie, some people are malicious, some people in our government act like they're on different sides when both sides are doing the same thing.
I don't have solutions to the problems either.
I agree with a lot of what you said Their is no conversations. Our system is messed up and no 1 seems to want to fix it.
💪🏻Tom MacDonald💪🏻
Great breakdown, as always, Doc. A wonderful surgical discussion, fine Fall fun :)
Like the great, Tom, says in another song " we're all in the same boat, why you trying to poke holes if we sink then you sink. "
Real bravery is the willingness to put your life on the line for the freedoms and welfare of the citizens of the country in which you live. Thats what I think Tom was trying to say
Good conversation! #HOG
Good clear analysis
Doc
I love you and everything you do
Tom was spitting facts
He is obviously limited in the time frame for what he has to say
But he did say that because of those who fought and died to allow your freedom to do and say stay free...if you don't like it then gtfo and see how you like it wherever you end up
Great reaction!
DOC RICH FOR PRESIDENT
Big respect man, everything has became so childish and petty, common sense ain’t so common anymore
I think in terms of knowing the history like with Thanksgiving it comes down to just killing the past. Not erasing it, but killing it yes this is its origin and it's ok to teach it in your history class, but outside of that I believe we have to let it go and push the more positive meaning it represents now. I feel like to bring about true change and make the world better people have to stop wearing the past on their sleeves, it's like making mistakes in the past (as we all have) if u live in the past focusing on all your shortcomings whether it was something bad u did or just coming up short in work or academics those things can hold u back from achieving a different outcome then what u experienced in your past. The past shouldn't be forgotten, but at the same time u gotta kill it and let it stay where it belongs in the past only carrying the lessons that y learned from the past along with u. We gotta let the past stay in the past and actually look at the present instead of "hey look at this logo well these people were done dirty in the past so we cant have that its bad" like that's dumb af because to be fair like Tom said every race and nationality has blood on their hands no ones innocent so while u blame a certain race or nationality for shit that happened 100s of years ago and all honesty someone can do it to u to because no ones innocent so wouldn't it be better to just let it go and stay where it belongs in the past.
New AK. Album!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊💯💯🎊🎊🎊
Awesome breakdown and review! Got that subscription from me sir!
I agree with your points you made
What's crazier, is he's Canadian, and moved to the US and sees what's going on. But people born here can't.
Completely agree with you. I think the two sides dont even try to listen to the other side. If one side is for something then the other side automatically is against. Just to do so. Wish they could figure out we all want united in some way instead of this constant division. Great reaction.
PS That is why so many of us have gone independent!
#HOG Fam!
🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤
I've already heard it.on one of the 2 new cds
It’s sad that a Canadian is more of a patriot of freedom than most Americans these days.
H.O.G. The Army and we must be willing to fight for what we hold dear.
We also must fight to show respect for and honor those who died for our freedoms.
Time to wake up from this Nightmerica.
#hangovergang forever
🤘🏿🤘🏻🤘🏽🤘🏼🇺🇸
Amen. It's ok to agree to disagree. We lost that along the way ...and compromise is the answer.
Hey Doc just to let you know Struggle jennings and yelawolf dropped a song together. Also, great reaction sir.
