Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" is a fascist theme!
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 01:39 AM by Dangerman
If Ohio falls to that bastard Bush, I will forcefully declare that Lee Greenwood's uber-patriotic theme "God Bless the USA" (the GOP plays this song frequently during their conventions) we be labeled as the official theme song for 21st Century American Nazi-style fascism!

How can God bless a country which, under Busler's orders, invaded a defenseless, sovereign country under lies and false pretexts which resulted in the murders of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and hundreds of US soldiers?

How can a song which lyrics includes "The flag still stands for freedom" can co-exist with something called The Patriot Act attacks that very freedom?

How can a song which lyrics includes "There is pride in every American heart" explaining the deep division of half the nation who voted for this asshole Chimpy?

How can a song which lyrics includes "I am proud to be an American" describe all the overwhelming evidence (illegal pre-emptive war, color-coded terror alerts, crime, assault weapons legal again, bad economy, racial division, corporate control of the media) proving to me that I am more like "ashamed" than "proud" to be American?

The GOP loves to play this hypocritical song over and over again and I am pissed off at this song!

I use to love this country, but if Bush wins and I am forced to spend to next four years of hell under this f*cktard and hear this damn song again, I'll move to Canada (if I have the money, unfortunately!)

God bless the USA?!? Make that God FORGIVE the USA! Not even God himself would bless this nation ever again!

I HATE THIS SONG!

3. There's only one thing wrong with that song!
I love my country, and I want God to bless the USA.

This is what's wrong with the song - the lyric "the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away".

They sure as hell CAN take that away if the people let them.
