Ricky " man-on-dog-love " Santorum in da' house!
April in New Hampshire, we must be coming up to an election year! Our favorite reactionary Christianist has chucked his crown of thorns into the ring! Or opened a window and whispered " I want to be President " or what ever these creepy GOP types are doing these days. Ex Senator Santorum is ahead of the other two candidates that no one has ever heard of in his drive to the White House, he has a SLOGAN!
Let America be America Again
Hell yes! Let Bartlet be Bartlet... no, that's not it, Let America Be America Again, taken right from the pages of Ricky Boy's followers FAVORITE Socialist Black Gay pro Union Poet, Langston Hughes!
( do not think that I do not have a show tune for EVERY situation! )
Let America Be America Again
by Langston Hughes
Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
(America never was America to me.)
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.
O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.
(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek--
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.
Think Progress, a site we LOVE, asked the Frothy Mixture about his fantastic new Campaign Slogan
The Horror, the horror! Who can not love Santorum ripping open his shirt and beating his chest " ME ALL MAN " style with his " I am not a poetry guy......".
