Fifty best conservative rock songs

[FunkyHiFi]

Talk about a spin zone (http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NzZkNDU5MmViNzVjNzkzMDE3NzNlN2MyZjRjYTk4YjE=) :mad:

These people aren't exactly adept at seeing subtle messages, are they? Because their blind obedience to conservatism seems to cause them to see the same in songs that obviously (to me anyway) have NOTHING to do with being conservative.

Saying "Revolution" by The Beatles is something every staunch Republican should have on their play list is hilarious. And "My City Was Gone" by The Pretenders!? I've owned that album since it came out & all I ever saw in the song was Chrissie Hynd seeing the bad side of capitalism: her homey small hometown in Ohio had been taken over & mowed down by commercial interests.

And the links for every song to an online music retailer i.e. CAPITALIZM ROOLZ :rolleyes: make their case even less believable.

The trees by Rush? What?

"Before there was Rush Limbaugh, there was Rush, a Canadian band whose lyrics are often libertarian. What happens in a forest when equal rights become equal outcomes? “The trees are all kept equal / By hatchet, axe, and saw.”"

But they completely ignore the rest. The line before is, "for they passed a noble law." And the reason they passed a noble law, the Oaks took up all the light and both were responsible.
“There’s nothing in the streets / Looks any different to me / And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye. . . . Meet the new boss / Same as the old boss.”
Things change.
“If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street / If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat / If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat / If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.”
Higher taxes help the poor, the economy, and the stock market. "I'll tax you boy."

He destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad / The bombs were meant for him / He was supposed to feel bad / He’s the neighborhood bully.”

That's not the Bush doctrine.

Oh well we have many of those bands on our side and all these bands. (http://www.cjnetworks.com/~cubsfan/music.html)

Conservatives appropriating popular sentiments and subverting them for their own needs, whatever next...

I guess it's only natural that the conservatives try and grasp straws when they nominate songs like "Revolution" as being "conservative" anthems.

If they were to try and come up with true blue conservative anthems, the list would look more like this...

1. Toby Keith
2. Toby Keith
3. Toby Keith
4. Toby Keith
5. Culture Club
6. Toby Keith
7. Toby Keith
8. Toby Keith
9. Toby Keith
10. Toby Keith

As you can see, it'd be very tough to come up with 50 songs.

Why didn't he post any songs about Jesus?
Hypocrite. (just kidding)

Speaking of.........

Reagan & Springsteen's "Born In The U.S.A." (http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/06/16/reagan.80s/)

I was in college during that time, owned that album & couldn't believe the Republicans were stupid enough to use that song. Didn't they bother to read ALL the friggin' lyrics? But as usual for so many conservatives, when it comes to art and other subtle things, they only see the surface & not the true underlying meanings.

They all some drugged up motherfuckers , if you ask me.

As far as I'm concerned, they can have Kid Rock and Creed, too.

Pamela couldn't take Kid Rock to that place.

I'm surprised "Hip to Be Square" didn't make the list.
