Freedom Isn't Free

So, I've been reading up on this America Supports You Freedom Walk taking place in Washington on the fourth anniversary of 9/11 next month. Isn't it a nasty, cynical attempt to further perpetuate the myth that 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq are somehow linked? Do people still buy this crap? Even Fox News viewers must be aware that Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks?

When I first read reports about the march I thought I was reading a biting piece of satire, especially when I got to the bit about Clint Black, a 'country' singer who has written and will perform a song called I Raq and Roll. I was giggling to myself cheerily, but it turns out it is true!! Have a look at the lyrics, they will make even the hardest of hearts turn to joy.

It might be a smart bomb
they find stupid people too
and if you stand with the likes of Saddam
one just might find you

I rock, I rack'em up and I roll
I'm back and I'm a high tech GI Joe
I've got Infrared, I've got GPS
and I've got that good old fashioned lead
there's no price too high for freedom
so be careful where you tread

Would it be churlish to point out that despite the hi-tech the GPS (and the lead) bin Laden remains a free man?

The lyrics of I Raq and Roll reminded me of something. Have you all seen Team America: World Police? Do you follow me?

What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom.
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little pussy
'Cause the only reason that you're here.
Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
So maybe now it's your turn
To die kicking some ass

Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
Now there's a have to hook'in fee
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

Identical sentiments so why do Republicans love one and hate the other? Do they have no sense of humour? C'mon guys, lighten up a little.

Freedom is the only way yeah,

So lick my butt, and suck on my balls,

it’s the hope for tomorrow
