"Killing for Peace is like Fucking for Virginity"
Figured I may as well dust off the old 60s anti-war slogans, I've got a bad case of deja vu.

:(

Edited on Tue Dec-01-09 11:22 PM by G_j
Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
Marching to the fields of Concord?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand,
Marching to the Concord war, hey marching to the Concord war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Gettysburg?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand,
Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey marching to the Gettysburg war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
Marching to the fields of Dunkirk?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand,
Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey marching to the Dunkirk war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Korea?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand,
Marching to the Korean war, hey marching to the Korean war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Vietnam?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15,
Marching to the Vietnam war, hey marching to the Vietnam war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Birmingham?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist,
Marching to the Birmingham war, hey marching to the Birmingham war.


Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road,
It's a long hard road, before we'll be free.


Hey, what's the use of singing this song, some of you are not even listening.
Tell me what it is we've got to do: wait for our fields to start glistening,
Wait for the bullets to start whistling.
Here comes a hydrogen bomb, here comes a guided missile,
Here comes a hydrogen bomb: I can almost hear its whistle.


recorded by Richie Havens

9. That brought tears to my eyes, G_j.
There seems to be no end to it, does there...

6. A few years ago I was actually shocked when a young
woman, a student at MTSU, displayed that sign when Bushs** was on a trip to Nashville.

I remembered the slogan, and I admired her courage for displaying that sign in this state.

7. The classics never go out of style.
Unfortunate in this case, however. :(

8. I'm pretty proud of Nashville.
I know Middle is in Murfreesboro, but it's a nice dose of sanity.

15. When I've been in (more accurately around) Nashville
I've been surprised by the number of liberal bumper stickers I see. Someone at the corporate office told me it's a blue hole in a red donut.

35. We are.
I think it was 60-39 Obama?

The only city more one-sided Democratically is Memphis (64-35).

It's weird that the two far and away biggest cities can be so totally liberal and the state so red. I don't get the math.

10. Same Class running the Show.
BFEE & All the Old Money. (I gotta link on the other puter.)

Playing the Great Game for black gold, opium, big money.

The usual gang of Warmongers.

They're doing the same thing to the country:

Screwing We the People

&

Making a killing off war.

12. I just keep wondering -- how long do they get to control things?
Is it just going to keep going on and on until we're all reduced to Road Warrior world?

18. The Road.
Viggo Mortensen's new movie about post-apocalyptic America is probably a best-case scenario.

The turds have stacked the deck with 52 aces of spades. Everywhere We the People look, they bring death. Who and what they don't destroy through war, they'll eliminate through environmental collapse.

Our best shot is to keep the Pentagon and CIA orgs honest (Duty, Honor, Country). That means getting out the truth regarding the BFEE and getting their fingers off the button.

16. I feel oddly comforted by the fact that you don't like my OP.
I'd worry if it were otherwise.

19. And since I'm both inane AND sanctimonious, it must really rankle.
I feel your pain.

in that song.(well, I am not that good of a singer, but it worked for me).

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of this. I hope Country Joe doesn't mind me tinkering a bit with his song.
