Musical Sunday


The 2024 election is only a few months away, and if you're not paying attention already, you'd better get started. You may wish that the Democrats were running FDR instead of Joe Biden, but I'd suggest to you that the choice between Mr Biden and a self-centered, sociopathic, misogynistic wannabe fascist makes the decision pretty simple. And consider the party that's sold itself to Der Furor as you listen to this takeoff from the Parody Project, with apologies to Billy Joel ...


In case you missed them, here are the lyrics:

They insult with a smile, they disdain compromise
They can ruin our republic with incessant lies
And they bully their critics on national TV
They behave like spoiled children, but this is the real GOP

They create a disaster, find others to blame
They follow their Master and never feel shame
They’re changing the rules to rewrite history
Yeah, it’s a disgrace, but this is now the real GOP

Oh, they just think of themselves, they can only complain
Do it all of the time
Oh, and their candidates sound so completely insane
And they don’t seem to mind

They'll promise you nothing, while never conceding
They'll carelessly cut what you need to stop bleeding
But they'll root out their best, leave the worst in DC
Blame it all on yourself, if you voted for this GOP

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Oh, they’ve no plans to propose, they can only complain
Do it all of the time
Oh, and their candidates sound so completely insane
They are out of their mind

They never are kind, but they often are cruel
They can do as they please, ‘cause they think we’re all fools
They won't be accused, if they get their A.G.
But the worst they will do is take freedom from you
And this is now the real GOP

mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm
mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm
mm-MM-mm-mm-MM-mm
mm-MM-mm-mm-MM-mm-mm-mmm.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Think very, very carefully about your vote this year, and if you are still conflicted, read the "Project 2025 Manual for Leadership" that lays out the world the GOP wants you to live in. Your vote counts more than ever as we look to the world our grandchildren will have to live in.

More thoughts coming.

Hmmmmm, this may take some thought. OR, for choice 2, no thinking at all!

Spot on. I grew up around a lot of Republican fathers in my neighborhood. They'd be appalled at what the party has become.

EVERYONE has to vote. There are many of them but we are more! I forget who said the idea in voting for the lesser of two evils is that you want less evil. Does realizing that take a lot of intelligence or wisdom? And, personally, I don't think Biden is evil.
