With a major Presidential hopeful openly pining for one-world socialism, and the prospect of encroaching socialism moving ever more mainstream, it would appear that John Lennon’s dream in his protest song, Imagine, is much closer to fruition this day and age.
So, with conservatism becoming the new counter-culture, I offer a protest song for the 21st century.
Imagine, for the 21st Century (without apology to John Lennon)
Imagine there’re no Liberals
It’s easy if you try
No welfare state to enslave us
Or taxing us to the sky…
Imagine all the people
Keeping their own wealth…
Imagine we have a country…
It isn’t hard to do
One that we’ll defend and die for..
And secure our borders, too
Imagine all the people
Living life secure…
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And our nation will be as one.
Imagine no class envy…
I wonder if you can
Opportunity for everyone..
From fetus unto man
Imagine all the people
Living the American Dream.. ah-haaa-ah!
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll be conservative
And our nation will live as one.

While the lamestream press and rock-concert goers were salivating and tripping over themselves to touch their messiah’s garments on Obama’s recent European tour, others were not so impressed
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”
In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.
And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world.
He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world.
And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more.
Read, as they say, the whole thing.

“As Mark Twain, that greatest of American satirists and proud son of Missouri, once wrote, Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” We may hope that our leaders and our government stand up for our ideals, and there are many times in our history when that’s occurred. But when our laws, our leaders or our government are out of alignment with our ideals, then the dissent of ordinary Americans may prove to be one of the truest expression of patriotism.”
-Barack Hussein Obama, in a speech delivered on 30 June, 2008-
So that explains Barack Hussein Obama’s close relationship with one William Ayers, whose patriotic duty (by Obama’s definition) included setting bombs and killing innocent people. Heck, according to Obama’s definition, and by Ayers’ own admission, he just wasn’t patriotic enough.
That also explains Obama’s close relationship with one Rev. “God Damn America!” Wright.
For in Barack Hussein Obama’s world, these men, and others, have demonstrated, according to Obama’s own definition, the “…truest expression of patriotism,” in spades.
An axiom that I have long held is that liberals have no chance of winning a debate in the arena of ideas, unless they are given rein to re-define the terms of that debate.
The heinous practice of killing a baby in what should be the safety of a mother’s womb, heretofore known as abortion, is now known as, “reproductive health.”
The process whereby the government confiscates wealth from productive Americans for redistribution, formerly known as “taxes,” are now known as “contributions” or “investments.”
Today, “the messiah” stated,
“…surely we can agree that no party or political philosophy has a monopoly on patriotism. And surely we can arrive at a definition of patriotism that, however rough and imperfect, captures the best of America’s common spirit.”
If Obama’s sense of ‘patriotism’ embodies his established pattern of associations with “patriotic” individuals, such as Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, and others whom he must consider “…the best of America’s common spirit,” then color me unpatriotic.
Cause I ain’t buying it.
UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: Proving that Democrats are about as dumb as a box of rocks, another Obama surrogate opens mouth and inserts foot:
While Barack Obama was urging supporters not to devalue the military service of rival John McCain, an informal Obama adviser argued Monday that the former POW’s isolation during the Vietnam War has hobbled the Arizona senator’s capacity as a war-time leader.
“Sadly, Sen. McCain was not available during those times, and I say that with all due respect to him,” said informal Obama adviser Rand Beers…
…”So I think,” he continued, “to some extent his national security experience in that regard is sadly limited and I think it is reflected in some of the ways that he thinks about how U.S. forces might be committed to conflicts around the world.”
I wonder if Beers thinks that Obama’s experience is “sadly limited” by the fact that he was just a kid during Vietnam? Or that he didn’t serve at all, in any capacity, this great nation he aspires to govern?

The list of what we can no longer criticize about Barack Hussein– (oops) — Obama continues. Even if it’s the truth. Now it just so happens that whatever his wife says is beyond reproach:
Earlier, Obama told critics in an interview aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to “lay off my wife.”
The Illinois senator was responding to an online ad run by the Tennessee GOP that, during a four-minute video, replays six times Michelle Obama’s comment that “for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.” Michelle Obama has clarified her remark, saying she meant she is proud of the public’s engagement in this year’s political process. Obama called the ad “just low class.”
Obama said that if he wins the nomination, Republicans “can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record. But, he added, “if they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful, because I find unacceptable the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family.”
This would be fair enough if Michelle Obama didn’t insert herself and her words as part and parcel of her husband’s campaign. But in that very same interview, Michele Obama did just that:
In the joint interview, Michelle Obama said, “We’re trusting that the American voters are ready to talk about the issues.” She also denied speculation that she has ruled out a place by Clinton on her husband’s ticket.
“There’s no way that I would say ‘absolutely not’ to one of the most successful and powerful and groundbreaking women on this planet,” Michelle Obama said. Empathizing with her as someone who raised “a phenomenal daughter” while in politics, she said, “I think the world of Hillary Clinton,” and added, “I know how hard, just in the little bit of exposure I’ve had to this, what she’s had to deal with and what she’s accomplished.”
Word to Michelle Obama: If you can’t take the political heat, then get the hell in the kitchen and bake some cookies.

Apparently wanting to join in a suicide pact, Obama lays out his plan for national defense.

When your quest to sound relevant and important leads to insulting our closest neighbor and ally, in my book, it’s cause for real concern.
Tom Bevan at Real Clear Politics reports:
It’s never good when a story that you’ve slapped down as false gets up and slaps you back - as the NAFTA story has just done to the Obama campaign. The AP reports of a memo surfacing that appears to support the original version of the story that an Obama advisor told Canadian government officials that Obama’s railing against NAFTA was more or less just campaign rhetoric.
The AP story goes on to say
According to the memo obtained by The Associated Press, Obama’s senior economic adviser told Canadian officials in Chicago that the debate over free trade in the Democratic presidential primary campaign was “political positioning” and that Obama was not really protectionist.
In the words of David Byrne, ‘this ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no fooling around.’ Obama (as is the case with many liberals) needs to realize that, given his position as a potential Commander-In-Chief of the United States, his empty-headed, off-the-cuff rhetoric can carry real world consequences. Obama, like most liberals, has a nasty habit of thinking that he lives in a vacuum, and that his rhetoric is shielded from consequence by the mere presence of good intentions (remember his rhetorical foray into Pakistan?). Obama would do well to remember that unlike a high school debate class in which all rhetoric is forgotten at the end of the day, his words, at least until November 4th, will have real, possibly earth-shattering implications.
It is my hope that his future choice of rhetoric will reflect a more thorough understanding of its implications.
