Well, I'm sure the Department of Homeland Security is busy monitoring Freepers' purchases, including tunes we buy from Amazon or download on our Ipods. So to save them the trouble, I've compiled the top 10 songs that would indicate a predilection towards right wing anti-nanny state, anti-commie, anti-politically correct, anti-tax or anti-politician activism.
10. Mexican Blackbird - ZZ Top. The boys from Texas are just redneck racists, and this one proves it. Now drive that old Chrysler to Mexico, boy.
9. Courtesy of the Red White and Blue - Toby Keith. Not only jingoistic, but anti-muslim. Just ask the Dixie Chicks.
8. Neighborhood Bully - Bob Dylan. A real stick in the eye to Israel's enemies. Must be a Christian Zionist with a trigger finger!
7. Headknocker - Foreigner. Tough guy white trash with a Smith and Wesson. Could be trouble.
6. Proud to be an American - Lee Greenwood. Surely the folks at DHS will recognize the danger presented here.
5. The Preamble & No More Kings- Schoolhouse Rock. I'm amazed they have not confiscated such subversive materials already. Thank goodness we have black history month in the public schools to fill the time the kids used to spend studying our founders and the Revolutionary War.
4. You're Having my Baby - Paul Anka. A definte sign of a militant pro-lifer. Margaret Sanger is turning in her grave.
3. When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Traditional. Might as well join the local militia, you returning vets. Otherwise you'll just end up under a bridge living in a cardboard box.
2. Illegal Alien - Genesis. Genesis is by no means a right wing outfit, but righty extremists are likely to spin this one again and again just to hear the term, which has been deemed hate speech by the elites.
1. Stranglehold - Ted Nugent. An incitement to violence. Visions of a UFC chokehold on Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, I'm sure.

Just listen to the lyrics and you know it’s a song the Left can’t stand, and you won’t hear it on Air America as bumper music or whatever: ‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way.
I work for a college radio station and sometimes I fill in for
the “local music” host; he does a weekly “salute to the troops” with a patriotic song (like me, he’s in his 40s).
When I fill in, I play that Toby Keith song. Or sometimes Ray Charles’ rendition of America The Beautiful.
This phrase alone is what liberals fear most.
Anything by the band Pokerface but especially the song "I'd Rather Die Than Be Your Slave". They were extreme back before being extreme was cool.
Bob Dylan came through the campus where I resided way back in the sixties (1964). I met him and thought then he was a sort of traveling philosopher, not really participating in the culkture directly but ready to reflect societal currents with his muse. Subsequently, many thought of him as an anarchist; he never was or would be. Some thought of him as a hippie; he wasn’t committed to dropping out, just the opposite! Some thought of him as a doper; he wasn’t. A very few recognized him for what he really was and still is, though not as active now; he was in fact a philospher with music as a means of expression, and he was going to ride out the changes whatever they were and remain an opiner not a participant.
Rodeo Song was by Chris Ledoux, IIRC. He was a great singer!
You summed that up very well... I grew up thinking he was one of those “Counter-Culture 1960s Revolutionaries” (I was born in 1972). Now that I am older, have read a lot more, and understand more of the truth behind the facade of the “hippies”, I have found a lot of things I believed in this area were very wrong. My thoughts about Dylan being one of them... As you said, he is a philosopher, a thinker, and someone who has an incredible gift for imagery and metaphor within music. Fascinating guy, Dylan is. :)
Battle Hymn of the Republic:
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
“Gimme Back My Bullets” by Lynyrd Skynyrd
How about “Dixie” or “The Bonnie Blue Flag.” Then there is always the popular “ Yankee Doodle” Or “She’s a Grand old Flag?”
B^) Yea!!!!!
“The Night They Drove Ol’ Dixie Down”.
[The Band version, not that whiny skank Baez]
If you choke up, you’re a “right wing extremist”.
Salamander
[I wonder if I’m related to Virgil Cain?]
“The Golden Age of Leather”
[BOC]
They played it three times during Reagan's funeral.
First, it was played as a dirge as Reagan was taken to Capitol Hill.
Then it was sung as a hymn at the National Cathedral.
Finally, it was sung as an inspirational at the Simi Valley burial service.

Well, I for one think we can agree on Martina McBride’s “Independence Day”, otherwise known as the “tooth gnashingly mixed metaphor song”.
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is the day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day
Remember, “You can beat a dead horse to water, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a pig in a poke.”
