The first protest song of the Russian/American Ukrainian Conflict. What will our cost be to drag the evil madman, Vladimir Saddam, out of spider hole this time?

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again, no, no I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half-alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do you? Yeah There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again, no, no Yeah Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

From the headline I thought this was about the end of the Covid Shamdemic.

Seriously. This is the time to make changes to make sure that two year nightmare of out of control government is never repeated.

It's sad about the Ukraine and all -- but it is not our problem.

We are being fooled again. The same people that led us into Russia, Russia, Russia -> Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine -> Covid, Covid, Covid -> The most safe and secure election in history -> Covid, Covid, Covid -> WW III. If we are stupid enough to fall for it again, maybe we all do deserve the world of hurt about to happen.

That’s a doable thing if we can somehow figure out how to limit “executive orders”. That’s the real problem here. Governors and presidents have been acting like kings. They don’t consult with the legislatures. There is no debate. Instead the executives just issue decree after decree.

Thank you for your sentiments. I could not agree more. It’s kinda crazy that you have to come to this site and couple of old conservatives to find the first anti war protesters.

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, no, no

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
Yeah There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again, no, no
Yeah Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

No Problem.

On the home page there is a link to a primer on using HTML. It is much easier than I first thought.

That should have been the theme song for the TEA Party. At least before a number of individuals used the TP to advance themselves, not the agenda.

First one that comes to mind is Katrina Pierson. What a disappointment IMO.

The CinC is aided and abetted by the Courtney Massengales in the Pentagon. Most, if not all, of the Sam Damons have been shunned to the sidelines.

It IS the best rock tune ever recorded. I’ve heard it thousands of times and still hear something new most times through it. And very prescient, considering the sh*t going on today — I fear “We Are Getting Fooled Again”...SSZ

Not crazy at all. Plenty of Freepers are veterans, starting with JimRob. It's been nearly 40 years since I left active duty, but the memories are still fresh of dealing with REMFs who never should have been allowed within 100 yards of our soldiers.

The idea of a NATO no-fly zone is ludicrous. I'd love to crawl into one of my Chaparral weapons systems (I was ADA, led two Chaparral Platoons my first 18 months in Germany), and send a Sidewinder up the a$$ of whoever thinks this is a great idea.

The Who was prescient. One of my top ten. The next song on the hit parade may be “Life during war time” Talking Heads.
