The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down


Just a short musical interlude.

States Rights, except for California, Oregon, Washington and everywhere else Democrats trample on our freedoms in their drive to full and doomed Marxism.

Have they no sense of history? No, they want to abolish that.

Your Pal,

What they are forgetting is that 'some' of us did study history. And lived some of it...

People who don't know history are easier to control.

Check out the Johnny Cash version of the song.

We know the communists for who they really are, what they are about and that is precisely why President Trump was elected. Whether we can keep the Republic is a different matter entirely. But there are some of us who will not go gentle into that good night.

History, real history not the PC garbage that gets taught, should be required in schools. Folks may avoid real problems that way. While it may not necessarily repeat itself, it does, as Twain supposedly said, tend to rhyme.

History is racist. So is this song. You are all racist. The Milky Way is racist (too much white stuff in it).

Everything is racist Except for Oprah. All hail the Divine Miss O.

Whoa, RHT, Mister Rate's Advice! And hey, Mr. Helm was exceptional, not least for being a drummer AND a vocalist, good at both to boot. His later stuff worked too, tho we suspect he was an appalling old hippy. I like Great Train Robbery.

Cheers.

NFO, I know you were there.

These fools think they redesign us into some weird Marxist utopia, like Cambodia, the Soviet Union, Zimbabwe or China.

I'd argue we won't go peacefully into the night against the new Soyviet Revolution.

Linda, I was shocked, years ago, to discover US schools weren't teaching history but "Social Studies." Whatever the hell that means. But we know, trans rainbow Marxism.

And think, American Christians PAY for this via tax. Outrageous.

LSP said...

I hadn't heard the Cash version, LL. NICE.

And yes, Light v. Dark is there for all to see. We're not about to roll over, will they?

LSP said...

Don't it just, Jim.

BTW, will someone, please, sort out the outrageous scandal that is our public school system?

LSP said...

But Infidel, have you stopped to check your privilege. Are you on Oprah? No? Better sort that out.

Black Holes are now White Holes. Don't say "Gwinny."
