The Extremist Hymn (To the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"")
Mine eyes have seen the horror of the militant extreme. I have heard about their tennis shoes and eyes that madly gleam. They are armed and more fanatical than you would ever dream. I'll track down every one!
CHORUS Glory be, there goes another!*** Glory be, there goes another! Glory be, there goes another! I'll track down every one!
Extremists are the people to the right of Gore Vidal For they don't believe in giving in to Socialism's goals. They don't even favor foreign aid for Yugoslavs or Poles. I'll track down every one!
CHORUS
I am not afraid of Commies, for their numbers are too small But extremists come in millions AND EACH ONE IS TEN FEET TALL! Yes, extremists come in millions and are patriotic all. I'll track down every one!
CHORUS
I have seen them in the hallways, I have seen them in the bars. I have seen them in the caucuses; they come from near and far. They control the Y.A.F. and they control the C.Y.R. I'll track down every one!
CHORUS
They are hiding in my closet; they are always in the way. They are lurking in the hallways; I SAW 54 TODAY! They are spying on our meeting till my hair is turning grey. I'll track down every one!
CHORUS
Exposing them in public was a brilliant thing to do. Now the People's World adores me and The Nation loves me too. But extremists have to get their praise from National Review. I'll track down every one!
CHORUS
*** To be sung pointing at one or another egregious rightist deviationist, who may, as the evening wears on, elect to wear a lampshade to hide from the accusing finger of the People's Justice.
With social media sites issuing warnings that you may have been exposed to extremist content, I thought this might be a good time to revisit this wonderful old song.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic is as close to a White American National Anthem as you will find.
Oh, I thought it would be a song about making people take the vax.
White Anthem? It’s straight out if the Bible, a Civil War anthem sung by the Union in the fight to free the slaves.

I’m working one one about critical race theory. I’m using a Rodgers and Hammerstein tune. I hope they don’t mind.
So far, one verse.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of THAT’S RACIST!!!!
The song encompasses how White Americans viewed themselves and this country’s manifest destiny. I think racial anthems are reprehensible in America, as they run counter to everything this nation has stood for. If we all have to have a racial anthem in the new regime’s Amerika, do you have a better one for the people who are responsible for America’s greatness?
