We have our sacred texts, hymns, prayers and prophets... There was always something disquieting about a child having to recite the pledge of allegiance in the land of the free, the embarrassing cultish aspects of Barry Obama's rise to power. There's a reason my signature catch phrase for a politician is a "political whore". And there's a point about the 310-odd million American consumers voting with their dollars in voluntary transactions no remote central government elites can possibly replicate or improve on.
A Neil Diamond Doubleheader
As the Royals and Giants move onto the World Series, I'm in the mood for a Neil Diamond tune. The performer is still the best singer-songwriter around with this first track release from his newest LP project, followed by a single he penned after the Boston Marathon terror attacks.
Freedom Song - Neil Diamond (re: Boston Marathon terror attacks)
Two hundred years and moreBongino: I Voted For Him When He Ran For Senate and I Know He'll Make a Great Congressman
And here we are today
With freedom still our guiding light
Defending it with all our might
We're never gonna change
Or ever look away
We stand for freedom everyday
They'll never take us down
Tho some may try
We're gonna stand our ground
It's do or die
The freedom that we've found
Can't be denied
And they can never take us down oh no
Our freedom is why
Got freedom to believe
And live the way we choose
Ain't that's what freedoms all about
It's something we can't never lose
And if we go astray
Let freedom be the light
That takes us through the darkest night
They'll never take us down
Tho some may try
We're gonna stand our ground
It's do or die
The freedom that we've found
Can't be denied
Our faith is like a light
That keeps us warm
It burns inside.
We've come this way before
A hundred times or more
But someone's watching over us
And we believe in God we trust
But if we hold on strong
We'll make it through the night
And walk in freedom's shining light
They'll never take us down
Tho some may try
We're gonna stand our ground
It's do or die
The freedom that we've found
Can't be denied
We know without a doubt
We'll get through this,
We've been through worse
They'll never take us down
Not now or any day
Our freedom don't come free
But it's worth the price we paid
The dream inside us all
It can not be denied
Together let us raise our freedom's flag
And let it fly
Never take us down
(No, oh no)
Oh no they won't
(Never take us down)
Praise our freedom now
(Let praise it now)
We know it's true
They'll never take us down
Tho some may try
We've only got to show
The reason why
Our road together's made
Of tears and pride
We know they can never take us down
And freedom's why
Together let's raise our freedoms flag
Where eagles fly
