We need songs. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7821029)
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.

"Can you imagine a world where health care is free?
Where you work all day and pay for drugs for me.
Lines and restrictions and waiting lists galore
with 6 months to live and a year to wait for an operation
Illegal aliens to the front for their little blister sore
6 months to live but the specialists have all retired
Mired.
Incompetence can't be fired. ..."

Oh crap. I hope she doesn't see that thread.

Imagine there's no fee due,
It's easy if you try,
No co-pay to render,
Premiums are just a lie,
Imagine all the doctors,
Fleeing for their lives....

You could be a DU folk hero. :-)
And wealthy, or at least enriched with all the good vibes and healing white light they can muster.

Uh, I have to second the :mental: :mental: :mental:

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.
You're free to create or support art that coincides with your political views, but Nazis and other totalitarians were equally enthusiastic about persecuting art and artists whose ideas they disagreed with. Art doesn't owe you a thing.

Yeah, well the dipwads that want the songs are too dang lazy and mind altered to bother with writing one.

....and for all that traveling to and from protest....and buying all those records/CD's/tapes whatever...they could have bought health insurance.

My hip, it breaks
with a meaty crunch
as I fall out of the bathtub
like my heart would
if it weren't already dead
on crutches I hobble
ka-thunk..ka-thunk..ka-thunk..
paid for by taxpayers
even though
I can afford it.

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

Most bars here still have them and some are connected to the internet and can download new songs.

I am minded of the old Tom Lehrer satire song, "We are the Folksong Army."
