Being a music freak I love finding out about new music. Here's some anti-war music for you to listen to. There's Beastie Boys (definite recommend), Green Day and even country legand Willie Nelson. http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/000628.html is where you can download the songs. :) XOXO.

I heard a John Fogerty song the other day in which the lyrics talk about how much the news coming from Iraq reminds him of the news coming from Vietnam. I think it was called "Dejavu All Over Again." I was too young at the time to really remember the news from Vietnam, but I do like John Fogerty.

WASTEFUL MILITARY SPENDING

(Tune: “Frere Jacques”)



Listen, Congress! Listen, Congress!

What did you do? What did you do?

You voted with the war machine,

Your vote for war was quite obscene!

Their blood is on your hands,

It’s peace that we demand!



Election Day is coming closer,

And we vote! And we vote!

We’ll remember on Election Day

Your vote that turned our hair to gray.

We want peace! We want peace!



Death unending! Military spending!

What a waste! What a waste!

Reinstate some sanity,

Spend it for humanity,

Vote for peace! Vote for peace!



Let’s build schools instead of bombs,

Invest in peace! Invest in peace!

Don’t spend all my taxes

To fight the “evil axis.”

Vote for peace! Vote for peace!

SWEET OLD GRANNIES

(Tune: “100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”)

Ohhh, another four years of Georgie’s lies?

It makes us want to gag!

We’ve already seen what he can do

While wrapped up in our flag.

He sends our kids to die in war –

Just what has he achieved?

He says he’s fighting terrorists

But we won’t be deceived!

Ohhh, another four years of Georgie’s lies?

It makes us want to scream!

We’ve already seen what he can do

To kill the American dream.

More of us are out of work

And more of us are poor.

With no Head Start and no health care,

We’re tired of this manure!

Ohhh, another four years of Georgie’s lies?

It makes us want to spit!

We’ve already seen what he can do –

We’re tired of all this sh*t!

He’s taking away our liberties

And killing the Bill of Rights,

And spying on our neighbors –

We think that really bites!

Soooo let’s get out and vote him out

On this Election Day.

We’ve had enough, its time to get tough –

The sweet old Granny way.

Sure, invest in peace, invest in peace. What a bunch of nonsense! The terrorists don't want us to live in peace. They aren't interested in peace! They want to destroy our way of living. We are the Infidels and are seen as their enemies. They will do whatever they can to hurt us and every other free nation in the world.

Isn't Vicki just ever so witty and talented with her left wing propaganda.

So far my favorite song I've heard is "The Promise Land" from Willie Nelson. He also has a touching video with it on his official site (http://www.willienelson.com) XOXO.

If they don't want us to have peace and they want to have war all the time why on video footage do you always see them showing peace signs with their fingers? *Shrug* XOXO.

You honestly think that the terrorists who smashed those planes into the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon killing over 3000 Americans wanted peace? Or the Yemen terrorists who attacked the USS Cole? Do you think they want peace? Or the terrorists who took over that school in Russian and killed CHILDREN in cold blood. How about them? How about the terrorists in Iraq who are targeting Iraqi CIVILIANS with their car bombs and suicide bombs? Do they want peace? How about Osama Bin Laden and Al-Quada? Do you honestly think they want peace? Get real! Them giving the peace sign in their vidoes means diddly! It doesn't mean "peace" the way it did in the 60's and 70's.
