Attn: Indies, Fundies & Republicans. Jim Croce has a question for you

[FlyingSquirrel]

from beyond the grave.



The words to this song were written sometime between 1963-1973.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Which way are you goin'
Which side will you be on
Will you stand and watch while all the seeds of hate are sown
Will you stand with those who say, "Let His will be done"?
One hand on the Bible, one hand on the gun
One hand on the Bible, one hand on the gun

Which way are you looking?
Is it hard to see
Do you say what's wrong for him is not wrong for me
You walk the streets of righteousness
But you refuse to understand
You say you love the baby, but then you crucify the man
You say you love the baby, but then you crucify the man

Everyday things are changin'
Words once honored turn to lies
People wonderin' can you blame them
It's too far to run and too late to hide

Now you turn your back on all the things that you used to preach
Now it's let him live in freedom, if he lives like me
Well your line has changed, confusion reigns
What have you become
Your olive branches turn to spears when your flowers turn to guns
Your olive branches turn to spears when your flowers turn to guns

----------------------------------------------------------------

At this pivotal moment in history...

Which side of History will you be on?

1. Man, what a lyric!!

Amazing! I loved Jim Croce when I was young, but I don't recall hearing this particular song. I'll have to see if it's up on YouTube or something. Really hits the nail on the head.

To answer your question, I'll be on the Obama/Biden Hope side of history. :patriot:

Warning - the video gets pretty graphic.

3. I love that song

the "say you love the baby, but then you crucify the man" line reminds me of Jesse Jackson's comment that "pro-lifers" seem to care more about the unborn than they do about those who have already been born.

4. Not to mention the "Support the troops" magnets

and then don't support them with body armor or adequate health care etc. when they return.
