We Don't Need No (Leftist) Education
American Thinker ^ | October 13, 2010 | By Robin of Berkeley

David Horowitz is one of those rare people who change lives. I know, because he changed mine.

When I started snapping out of my Leftist trance three years ago, I had nowhere to turn. I didn't have the foggiest idea why thugs were surrounding Obama. Weren't the progressives the good guys?

I turned to my local Borders bookstore for some answers. There I found the writings of David Horowitz, to which I could immediately relate. Like me, Horowitz was a Jew from New York who was hoodwinked by radicalism.

But that's where the similarities stopped. My parents were JFK-type liberals who loved this country. Horowitz was a red diaper baby.

Horowitz is also many years my senior. While he was a fiery radical during the '60s, I was (blessedly) too young to participate in those violent and misogynistic times. I came of age during the comparatively mellow feminist revolution.

Don’t give up yet. I’m still thinking about it.

I've spent the last few days going over a bunch of old and new songs and I can't pick one. To me a fitting song for the here and now hasn't been written yet.
I would, however, still give my opinion on one that you thought was appropriate.

I’ve selected this song as the provisional theme song for The Second American Revolution:

I said that before....didn’t I?

Maybe it would work better with a few changes to the lyrics and sung by another band?

If I recall Bob Dylan wrote and sang, “The times they are a-changing” but Peter, Paul and Mary made it a hit and it became the theme song of the 1960s New Left.

Yep.

I would go with a new song altogether reflecting the here and now, not the where and then.
