Most of us forget, as we walk down the 60’s memory lane, that the music was produced by liberals and against the decency of conservatism. It’s what led to today’s mentality of disgust, which many of us post about today.
One fine example is John Lennon’s song. “Imagine”.
Some of the lyrics say things like:
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
So, Lennon wants us to think that without religion, we can have decency and morality? Well, since everybody now has ‘’their own’’ morality, then stealing is OK, adultry is OK, blocking the god given right of people to exercise judeo/christianity is OK. He doesn’t want any consequences to be thought of in advance..it doesn’t matter what you do. Trust is gone, integrity is gone.
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
There goes national soverignity, opening the door to a one world tyranny over all nations. Nothing to kill or die for also means that freedom is meaningless and not worth dying for. If there’s nothing to die for, then what is there to live for? This isn’t a life of peace, this is a life of apathy. Destruction of passion is followed by the dark ages of lack of creativity, and innovation.
If no doesn’t mean no, then what does your ‘yes’ mean?
So even though we enjoy the memory lane of music to a time when we were young and actually rather innocent, it was a time of ‘’ free love’’ and now we have AIDS.
Yes, our musicians appealed to a liberal perspective at the time, and the consequences are now here, and we find we don’t like them. It’s killing us. You can’t even go to the doctor on your own dollar anymore. That’s Peace??? six feet under maybe but that’s not life.
There are some who suggest that at the time of his death, Lennon was reconsidering his previous stances, and they’ve even gone so far to suggest that he was a fan of Reagan.
