the "In God We Trust" zombie is at it again. Diamond Rio, a grade B country band put this tune out claiming the radio stations would not play it because it was too "politically incorrect". Obviously a gimmick to get right wing notoriety and publicity. Number one: Who really cares about radio anymore. It's released on the web and downloadable so that argument is full of it. Number two: The video ends with the Sinclair Lewis saying, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." Whoever said it, it's talking about mixing religion, with government and corporations resulting in theocratic corporate fascism. That is just the opposite of what the song is about. Hypocrisy and stupidity obviously go hand in hand when it comes to right wing propaganda.

Because Congress and Obama says it offends too many, because it is considered politically incorrect. This song brings tears to my eyes. Please listen and share. How else can anyone hear about it if our own Congress wants to ban it? In God we still trust, here in America!!"
Sheesh. This person who believes this shit...actually VOTES? and has an internet connection? that's what frustrates me so much about the Internet. The stupid outnumbers the smart i dunno, 1,567,229 to 2.
