"Righteous killing in the name of freedom
We've been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should have
And it's too late to fool us anymore
We've seen the ones who killed the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
It's getting hard to listen to their lies.
And I've just got to wonder what my Daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN
Bombing Baghdad back into the stone age
Round the clock, nonstop for forty days
Killed 'em in their homes and on their highways
Then after a decade of crippling sanctions
We decided we go back in there and do it all over again
Fighting terrorism
Chorus"
Thanks Kris.

I love this song.
I could have used it yesterday on a OmegaGnosis thread in which she was tryin real hard to promote insidious innuendo as fact.
But today, AOL has this video.

So the song AND the video make me feel better.
Thanks!

I will bookmark that one Goppy! Still get ludicrous e mails making those claims. I will never underestimate the diabolical tactics of those who would seek to manipulate democracy, nor the willingness of so many (GWB's presidency proves it) to be lied to and like it.

Goppy:
That was right on!!!
I've been taking a lashing for saying the Bush gang should get what they deserve. You know justice!!
Unfortunately the neocons believe justice is only needed for those they find guilty. Even if they aren't guilty.
But hey don't say Bush and the gang deserve to be tried and hung for the treason and murder they have committed.
Lets focus on all the innuendos and outright lies about Barak Obama and anyone at goes against what they see as their "righteousness".
It is going to be righteousessly hot where they are headed if they don't repent. LOL

Got to Stand our Ground and not let the Bastar*s get us down.

Hey BK this is an awesome submission. (Thought you handled yourself well on a couple of the threads.)
Never heard the song before but think it's an appropriate anthem of sorts.

It is getting harder to not let the bastards get ME down..
Good one Bkumm.
I pray for our troops to come home ...everynight.
The bastards lied to get them over to Iraq.
I hope that they, as in "the ones who sent them to war" have a slow painful death.
Thank you.
