PING!
THREE?
Just starting points ... beware, Wiki is unreliable:
The band: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decembrists
The historical Decembrist Revolt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decembrist_revolt
It's mostly tribal nonsense, the same way a college student will wear a Che t-shirt knowing only that it's a vague expression of rebellion guaranteed to irritate his class enemies. A real Che would have blown that kid's brains out in La Cabaña. Whether Obama has any real Decemberists working for him - ay, there's the rub.
It doesn’t matter what he does, his supporters are as hypnotised by him as the followers of Jim Jones were, right down to the point when he made them drink cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. And they are going to try to guilt other Americans into voting for him. The whole rest of the world is salivating at the prospect of America joining them in the socialist globalist sewer-misery loves company. And the alternative is only marginally better, except on national defense (admiitedly a huge exception. But even he plans to flood the country with illegal immigrants).
I’m so over this election. I’d almost like to do whatever I can to get “off the grid” and go somewhere and be forgotten, so that the coming destruction won’t affect me for a while at any rate. The politicians on both sides have managed to create an impossible situation as far as we the people having much voice in our government. Amnesty is the clearest example-they just don’t quit, because they know that sooner rather than later, they’re going to get it shoved down our throats, no matter what a majority of Americans say they want.

Here’s some info where the bassist calls Bush a “War Criminal”

Look for the French National Anthem, la Marseillaise, sung by their equivalent to Kate Smith (but better looking!), Mireille Mathieu (from 1989). (audio only is here)Lyrics are even nastier than the later verses of the Star Bangled Banner.
English translation of Lyrics.
For reference full lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner are Here.
Compare:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

To arms citizens Form your battalions March, march Let impure blood Water our furrows
You have to recall that the French Revolution was in some degree, fairly large degree, inspired by our own, and that the Star Spangled Banner and la Marseillaise were actually written about the same time, sort of, but la Marseillaise was written first, 1792 actually during the Revolution, while ours was written during the War of 1812. Although interestingly it was originally a Loyalist song (a supporter of Louis XVI and army engineer, but adopted by the Revolutionaries. Sort of like "Yankee Doodle".
There’s another edition of this song in the movie “The Hunt for Red October.”
Captain, I thought I heard singing....
One of my favorite TV moments of the 1980s was watching Nicolai Volkoff sing the sing the Soviet National Anthem before his WWF wrestling matches. He sang fairly well and was undaunted by the loud chorus of boos he got every time. What a showman.
"During the first Gulf War the band temporarily changed their name to Massive after pressure from their label, to avoid implying support of the attack on Iraq.[3]"
"Weather Underground is the current working title for the fifth studio album from UK band Massive Attack. Artists currently believed to be contributing to the vocals for the album include Tunde Adebimpe, Hope Sandoval, Tom Waits, Dot Allison, Horace Andy, Mike Patton, Liz Fraser, Damon Albarn and Mos Def.[1]
During an interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 on 19 December 2006, Robert Del Naja of the band stated that the album-title is likely to change by the time of release."
I don't know, but if they did it would be quite appropriate for an Obama rally considering that he wants to introduce many of those really great USSR social programs such as a socialized health care system into the US.
Or would it be more accurate to say an UN-healthy care system? But look at it like this, a long and healthy life is probably greatly overrated so you won't be missing too much if ObamaCare comes to the US.
Obama consistently surrounds himself with people who hate America.
