“As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L. Mencken

Who knows what’s going through his mind. Maybe he’s crazy. Maybe he’s making fun of Obama since its a Christian song and Obama isn’t a Christian?
Wip, that is not a Christian song. It’s a Unitarian ode to war, blasphemous and deceptive. Black Christians have been brainwashed into making it one of their hymns.
So true, so true.
I suppose what MIGHT make it “Christian” is that it has been sung millions of times in thousands of churches, white and black, for the past 100+ years. And of course, the final stanza —- “In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me. As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.”
Now the bad news …
The song was written during the Civil War … by a Unitarian woman … after she visited a Union Army war camp.
“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. / He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; / He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword. / His truth is marching on.”
There’s her flawed theology. What the fuck do you think the above verse means? It means the Union Army was God’s army … dispensing His wrath on the damnable Confederacy … and that God dwelt in the midst of the Union camps … and that their fires were alters to Him.
It even equates the Union Army with God’s Word (“His sword”).
In other words, it is a PRO Union / anti South political song. How Southerners can even stomach to sing this song in their churches, well, it’s a fucken’ mystery to me.
Look closely and others were doing the same, not unusual for the type of grouping and singing involved.
I don’t make anything one way or the other from it.
Wow. I’m almost embarrassed for the guy. I said, almost.
That’s the same exact dance he did when he said Eye-rak had weapons of mass destructshun.
Zoom in. Look at his face. He looks retarded. Seriously. Maybe dementia is setting in.
This is what’s tragically funny. The ‘Murikan people elected him …. twice.
Just try to wrap your head around the tragedy those two ass-clowns have inflicted upon the USA!USA!USA! during their combined 16 years. It can’t be done.
And the greatest tragedy of all? All those cops there, and no one arrested those two war criminals. Copfuks ES.
Is that a joke?
The GOP will never be able to live down the two terms of GW Bush. They must never be allowed to disown the little retard. He’s the perfect example of a politician from the stupid party.
So you prefer Obama and Clinton, I presume.
As most liberals do.
Of course not, anonyhole, you stupid cocksucker. I despise all politicians and both of their rotten parties. I can easily see that you’re a republican, though. Grow a pair of balls and use a screen name. If you’re too cowardly to make your posts identifiable, you need to fuck off.
Sorry, not a Republican, have never been one and haven’t voted for one since Reagan first term. I’m an independent and normally a third party voter.
Gonna make an exception this time.
I assume you are a non voter (or a Democrat hoping to subtly influence people not to vote against them) so shut the pie hole. I’ll be making the decision when I vote this time, not you.
BTW, ridicule and insult in place of intelligent response, as you commonly practice, is a tactic right out of Rules for Radicals, a common leftist handbook (specifically rules 5 and 8, but you should pay more attention to rules 7 and 11).
You may fool some but you don’t fool me.
I am ashamed that I voted for that dumbfuck, but look who he was running against. I didn’t fully wake up to the red team blue team bullshit till 2007.
Funny, isn’t it, how an anonymous troll presumes to lecture me on his ridiculous assumptions. Fuck off, imbecile. I can’t work up much of a feeling for what you assume. Without a screen name, you’re just words on a screen.
OK Stucky, God was on ya’lls side The First Time but not This Time.
I bet that at the Kremlin the high ranking poltico’s and generals get together monthly to watch a compilation of videos coming out of America like this one. It’s one big laugh fest as they watch this Nation disintegrating right before their eyes.
On that stage that night Georgie and Hussein were a comedy team to such an extent that if this was played on SNL thirty years ago, it would’ve had the audience rolling in the aisles.
These politicians reveal their arrogance by even putting on a show like this. They seem to take for granted that all the little people will be comforted to see them showing up to show off every time there’s some excuse for them to do so.
If only they knew just how much most of us despise them and wish they could be indicted and tried, they would never come out of their secure hidey holes. Of course, W doesn’t know anything at all. He doesn’t even suspect anything.
Look at the retarded asshole, smirking like he always does. Surely someone explained to him that this is supposed to be a memorial service and he still has to smirk while he sways to the music. I wonder how long it took to get him sober enough to even appear onstage.
Georgie Boy was drunk or high on Coke when he was President and I’ll bet he is gooned most of the time now.
Words cannot describe…
