I barf and hurl
2005-08-23 � 12:21 a.m.

so there is a "Freedom Walk" scheduled for Sept 11 in a lame attempt to connect the war in Iraq with the war on terror. it will include a concert of country music starring Clint Black who's latest hit is "I RAQ AND ROLL"

here are the lyrics to this song, which have caused me to vomit up my dinner of rice and beans.

start transmission:

You can wave your signs in protest
Against America taking stands
The stands America's taken
Are the reason that you can

If everyone would go for peace
There'd be no need for war
But we can't ignore the devil
He'll keep coming back for more

Some see this in black and white
Others only gray
But we're not begging for a fight
No matter what they say

We've got the resolution
That should put 'em all to shame
But it's a different kind of deadline
When I'm called in the game

Chorus
I RAQ, I Rack'em up and I ROLL
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe
I pray for peace and prepare for war
and I never will forget There's no price too high for freedom
so be careful where you tread

The terror isn't man to man
They can be no more than cowards
If they won't show us their weapons
We might have to show them ours

It might be a smart bomb, They find stupid people too
If you stand with the likes of Saddam
One just might find you

Chorus II
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe
I got infrared, gps and good old fasnioned lead
No price too high for freedom
Be careful where you tread

Bridge
Now you can come along
Or you can stay behind
Or you can get out of the way
But our troops take out the garbage
For the Good old U.S.A.

I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL In the USA
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'm talkin' about the USA

end transmission.

I guess I just feel if we are going to classify people as "garbage"(which is not loving or gentle or respectful, see: Christ, Jesus: Lamb of God and Savoir of our souls) maybe we should check out some of the dictators of Africa where people are suffering way worse than the people of Iraq who so desperately needed to be freed by the almighty Americans. (See: AIDS epidemic, genocide, famine, civil wars etc.)

p.s. - oh yeah and the high tech gi joe's who have to have their already poverty stricken families send them proper body armor?
