I wanna tell you ‘bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master

Some call it heavenly in it’s brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, “Forget the night.
Live with us in forests of azure.
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate.”

Listen to this, and I’ll tell you ‘bout the heartache
I’ll tell you ‘bout the heartache and the lose of God
I’ll tell you ‘bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I’ll tell you ‘bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

I’ll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

I’ll tell you ‘bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Soft drivin’, slow and mad, like some new language

Now, listen to this, and I’ll tell you ‘bout the Texas
I’ll tell you ‘bout the Texas Radio
I’ll tell you ‘bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you ‘bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

I think we need to just start saying “F_CK OFF” to everyone talking about fake emotional pain. Or real, I don’t care.

There is no right to not be offended or feel pain looking at a g-damn symbol.

It’s also the symbol of communist Quebec Canada that is extremely gay friendly. The US should bring back the draft.

Only when they color it in rainbow coloring. The big tip is also rounded a bit.

At this rate the only flags left to furl safely within the erstwhile USA will be Mexican, Salvadorian, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Columbian, etc., etc., etc.

All politicians it seems except one are afraid to buck the omnipotent MSM.

All of the political correctness originates from a media working to control America from the top down just as the USSR Commies. Our leaders are afraid of the media elites shining their spotlight and being called politically incorrect or racist. Who among them with the guts to tell CNN, MSNBC or NYT that they are the racists?

Oh please. If the reckoning hasn’t come yet, there will be no reckoning. Learn to love your new Massas in the Federal government.

The folks on the plantation are still eating massa’s food and are fat and sassy.

Won’t always be that way.

Wikipedia:

“The fleur-de-lis’ symbolic origins with French monarchs may stem from the baptismal lily used in the crowning of King Clovis I. The French monarchy possibly adopted the Fleur-de-lis for their royal coat of arms as a symbol of purity to commemorate the conversion of Clovis I, and a reminder of the Fleur-de-lis ampulla that held the oil used to anoint the king.”

I’ve also heard it symbolized the Trinity.

Why would you say that? The Repugnant Congress has no balls. The GOP-E are mere money grubbing pimps. What do liberals possibly have to fear?

The ‘Fleur de Lis’ is NOT only used, and held as a symbol for New Orleans, but the entire state of Louisiana, and is part of several official State emblems.

This guy is a jerk.
