We need more singers and songwriters who FIGHT BACK AGAINST MOONBATS

Posted by Joel Johannesen

Actually I suspect there’s lots of musicians and artists who sing or art their hearts out, but like the massive crowds of normal, sane people (no, not “Nazis”, my tolerant liberal friend) that are drawn to Sarah Palin during her book tour this week, or coverage of Obama’s loss of popularity, or headlines and news stories explaining the valid and noble and important reasons for fighting and winning wars in Iraq or Afghanistan (and not stopping until we do), or the many scientific stories debunking the “man-made global warming”, and so much more, they just don’t get much attention from the liberals’ media division for some strange reason.

Merle Haggard sings “Fightin’ Side of Me” back in this song released in 1970.  There must be more like this out there.

I hear people talkin’ bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin’ on the wars we fight,
An’ gripin’ ‘bout the way things oughta be.
An’ I don’t mind ‘em switchin’ sides,
An’ standin’ up for things they believe in.
When they’re runnin’ down my country, man,
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don’t believe in fightin’.
An’ I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein’ free.
They love our milk an’ honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin’.
When they’re runnin’ down my country, hoss,
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
