...shows just how far into totalitarianism we've fallen.


Back in the 80's there were songs and music videos ALL THE TIME that attacked Reagan's policies on the poor, the cold war, etc. Just off the top of my head, there was "Money's too tight to Mention" by Simply Red, there was "Land of Confusion" by Genesis, there was "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, "That's Just the Way it Is" by Bruce Hornsby, and etc and on and on and on, and it was never a big deal. Now, if an artist criticizes Bush in any way it's a huge brouhaha, and some, like Madonna and the Dixie Chicks, cave in to the pressure.

Bush's America SUCKS ROYALLY.
