Trump-hating rocker Bruce Springsteen is allowing the American Civil Liberties Union to use his iconic, if often misunderstood, America trashing Vietnam War anthem “Born in the USA” for the ACLU’s ad campaign promoting the leftist group’s birthright citizenship case set for an April 1 Supreme Court hearing challenging President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order restricting who is eligible for birthright American citizenship.
The use of Born in the USA as a patriotic song is a 180 degree reversal for Springsteen who has long downplayed the notion the song is patriotic.
When Born in the USA was released in mid 1984 as an album title and later a single, both promoted with Springsteen in front of a large American flag, it was embraced by conservatives, including President Ronald Reagan and columnist George Will, for it’s boisterous chest pounding chorus.
The song’s theme of a disgruntled Vietnam veteran who was used, abused and forgotten by his countrymen, ending up in prison, was overshadowed at concerts by the blaring stadium rock anthem arrangement and singalong chorus that audiences in the U.S. and around the world proudly sang: “Born in the USA!!! Born in the USA!!!”

So sick of this billionaire posing as a real American while doing everything to undermine real America. And all the while making more and more loot. Under the American free market system.
Doesn’t allowing the American Communist Litigation Union to use the song in question make it even more anti-American than it already was . . . ? never mind completely stripping away any transparent pretense of patriotism?
Whoever told him that he could sing was lying.
Had he my any tiny iota of conservatives thoughts they would have buried his entire career for the use of “off to kill a yellow man.”
Here is what I think of when I hear Bruce’s name:

Key Drunk Driving Statistics
12,429 Americans died in alcohol-related crashes in 2023, down from 13,458 in 2022 — the first meaningful decline since 2019
Every day, 34 people in the U.S. die in a drunk driving crash (2023 data)
Between 2014 and 2023, there was a 25% increase in drunk driving fatalities
Hawaii leads the nation with 42% of fatal crashes involving legally drunk drivers, followed by Texas and South Carolina
804,926 Americans were arrested for suspected DUI in 2024, representing 11% of all arrests nationwide
Drunk driving crashes drain $58 billion from the U.S. economy annually, and one DUI can cost one offender as much as $30,000 on legal fees and penalties

“You took so long to tell me where the men’s room is that I kinda don’t need the information any more. You need a mop, though.” 💦💦💦💦
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
It’s an anti-American song that some patriots mistake for a pro-American anthem.
I loved when Reagan used that song and drove Springsteen up the wall.
Why did you post a pic of Bing Crosby?
Bruce Springsteen is a grade A a**hole and hypocrite.
Years ago I heard a clip of an interview with John Cougar Mellonhead telling a story about the Bush Senior campaign calling him and asking permission to use Pink Houses as their campaign theme song.
He said he told them that it was fine with him but asked them “Have you ever listened to the song?” They never used it. lol
LMAO!
Why are his initials “BS”?
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Fookin’ idjit! Wonder how much he made off that anti-American POS song! Grrrrrr! 🖕🎸
C’mon. Don’t harsh his buzz. He’s been in 7th heaven since he realized that “Minneapolis” has as many syllables as “Philadelphia.”
Mr. SpringFIELD sold his catalog to Sony in 2021 for half a billion dollars.
He doesn’t have the right to grant permission to anyone for anything related to his music.
Barf Sprungston was, is, and shall remain an America-hating, no talent piece of crap.
The same group of bastards who pimp for abortions. What song do the azhos use for those ads? “Born To Run”
