Have I told you how much I hate these people? - Mike Malloy. It is every thinking person’s responsibility not to side with his or her executioners. - Albert Camus. Popular democracy anywhere threatens fascism everywhere. - The Scallion. A fascist junta of neocons using George W. Bush as its shill has taken over America by bloodless coup. What will it take for us to stage a revolution and take our country back? - Dot Calm. Drive a hybrid. Leave a lighter footprint on the planet. - Dot Calm.
Like Granny D, I have watched my own beloved country change, and I am angry beyond words about what I see. I grew up seeing America as the equivalent of the movie good guy, the hero in the white hat who came to the rescue of those in need around the world. I have watched in silent horror as the corporations, the captains and the kings of industry, used a comparatively small outlay of cash to buy the Republicans to use as their shills. George W. Bush is the puppet cowboy-king of shills, the proverbial emperor with no clothes. Every day, I watch these evil men legalize, legitimize, and institutionalize robbing the poor to pay the rich. They are carving up America like a giant carcass and doling out choice chunks of its meat to themselves and their cronies. Since the Democrats have been sipping at the same corporate teat where the Republicans have been gorging for the past generation, the fascists are free to do their worst; there is no longer any opposition. There is no one left to stand up for the rights of the American people, the Constitution, or the democracy, which I fear will be replaced by a fascist dictatorship in my lifetime. Wake up, America: we need a REVOLUTION NOW!

The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight And now a child can understand That this is the law of all the land, all the land The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white Together they grow to see the light, to see the light And now at last we plainly see We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty! The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white Together they grow to see the light, to see the light The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white Together they grow to see the light, to see the light C'mon, get it, get it Ohh-ohhhh, yeah, yeah Keep it up now, around the world Little boys and little girls Yeah, yeah-eah, oh-ohhh submitted by Rachel written by Browne, Jackson copyright with Lyrics © Jackson Browne/swallow Turn Music/night Kitchen Music/open Window Music, Warner/chappell Music, Inc., Universal Music Publishing Group, Emi Music Publishing |
