We need songs.
   
My late husband was Irish and I recently was listening to his CDs of Irish music. It was too painful to do so before. One of the CDs was of Irish rebel songs, which you will find sung in any pub that the Irish gather at anywhere in the world today. It struck me that we had the anti-war protest songs during the counter revolution of the sixties. Remember them? We need songs about health care reform, about unemployment about corrupt government, yes about wars for profit and everything bad going on today. We need to sing them at our protests and our rallys. Recording artists need to put out CDs that can be played in juke boxes across the nation like in the sixties. It's a way of getting the message out that the MSM and corporations are trying to stop. Nothing energizes a crowd like a good song that distills our grievances and woes into poetry set to music. Even the Nazis fired up the crowds in the torchlight parades with patriotic, military songs that they sang through the streets. It will have the effect of scaring the crap out of the opposition who are trying to turn America into a casino you can't refuse to participate in and one where you know the house always wins.

Just translate 'Heil, heil Hitler dir!' into English and substitute Obama's name, it'll be a big hit with all your brain-damaged pals.

Imagine there's no fee due,

No co-pay to render,
Premiums are just a lie,
Imagine all the doctors,
Fleeing for their lives....

I can't believe she even said that!  Was anybody else as jarred as I was?  It sounds like it could be some kind of creepy horror movie script, not a slasher, a psycho-thriller.  When something goes terribly, terribly bad in the recesses of someone's brain, and mayhem ensues.  

Anybody read Beck's "Arguing with Idiots?"  He published a children's poem/song from 1905, a propoganda piece called "Papa was a Socialist."  It was chilling.  He countered with a great poem he wrote himself "Papa was a Capitalist."  

ETA:   Some Irish guy calls the OP out, the only one who did, and it douses the fire (so far).
First he does the puking smiley after quoting the same passage I did.

About the only place I see juke boxes anymore are at Pizza Hut, and primitives aren't allowed to go there.
