I was sitting at a stoplight the other night on my way home from work when a song came on the radio that I hadn’t heard in quite some time. It was one of those old songs that, you know, can somehow magically take you back to another place and another time for just that briefest of moments. Anyway, it was an old Merle Haggard song entitled, "The Fightin' Side of Me." and as I listened to it I remembered exactly why it was that it had been one of my favorite songs at a time when I was much younger and as I listened I realized that it is still one of my favorite songs today. And I thought about how relevant the lyrics still seem to be even today, especially when one considers what the Liberal Democrats, our stellar our president, acting in concert with our state-run media, are all saying about our country on pretty much of a daily basis. Also as I listened, it struck me how this simple little song would make the perfect anthem to be sung by those who are currently working so hard to bring about a much needed conservative revolution, come this November, because it seemed to me that the words of the song cut to the very core of what it is that’s being perpetrated against the very foundations of the country. The feelings it stirred in me were the very same ones that I remember feeling when I heard the song for the very first time, because I love my country, to the point where I proudly spent a big chunk of my life in the service of her Navy. And I think it sums up pretty well the way many of us still feel about our country and about the attempts made by Barry "Almighty" and the rest of the "scumbag" Democrats who constantly work to demean it and all that it stands for. It’s a song that not only tells it like it is, but how it should be. That our country, regardless of what Barry "Almighty" and the Democrats may say or do, is special and possesses a uniqueness found nowhere else on the planet, and we should be proud to called Americans, not shy away from it. We must fight contemptible individuals who continually go about the slandering of our country 24/7 and who should be seen for exactly what they are, as being nothing more than anti-Freedom and anti-American zealots. Their behavior is to be considered as being nothing less than traitorous and they should be condemned at every opportunity. Because we do live in the greatest nation in the World and we must work to do all that we can to come together and unite in putting a stop to what is being done by those who are determined to destroy it. And to all those who insist on griping about this country, if you don’t love it, then just do us all a big favor and leave it. You are not needed here nor are you welcome here.
I have included the words here just in case there are those of you out there who are not familiar with it because either you don't listen to country music or because maybe it was just a little bit before your time.
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.
