We’ve seen this all before – the attempt to erase history through the destruction of statues and monuments to any historical event but today’s anarchy and any vestige of authority, real, institutional, or symbolic other than the authority imposed by the nihilists themselves.

As columnist Charles Krauthammer once pointed out, one the first acts of the Taliban in Afghanistan was to blow up centuries-old statues of Buddha carved in a mountain cliff. They did it not because they were built by the United States or Israel or represented Western colonialism. The giant Buddhas of Bamiyan were destroyed by the Taliban government on March 12, 2001, in Bamiyan, Afghanistan. The two enormous statues, measuring 175 feet in height, were carved into sandstone cliffs at Bamiyan by Buddhist worshippers who traveled the Silk Road from China in the third century A.D.

Of course they do. It’s the freaking Communist Manifesto set to music. Awful music, at that.

I think there should be another line added to the beginning of the song.

Imagine no john lennon. Imagine if you can.

“Imagine no pocessions”

He couldn’t. He was worth 80 million when he died.

"Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do..."

The very lyrics are Anti-National. NOT a National Anthem.

If you imagine there's no country then what do you need a national anthem for?

Lennon was an arsehole, the only level-headed member of the group was Ringo

Imagine there is no liberals, it’s easy if you try, For soon comes the Tribulation and their destruction bye and bye...

Imagine there is no religion, because Christ sits on the throne, and reality trumps philosophy, when The Messiah rules your home.

“Imagine” is more inclusive than the present anthem...that is, if you don’t mind excluding Christians, Muslims, Jews, Zoroastrians, Taoists, Buddhists, Hindus, Native Americans...

Imagine there’s no leftists
it’s easy if you try
No smelly obese feminists
and spineless commie guys

You may say that I’m deplorable
But I’m not the only one
I hope Trump get re-elected
And Hillary’s jailed in ‘21
