Patriot rocker fights for little girl's 'Freedom' Musician-dad devotes himself to saving America's children from bleak future.
Joe Horn, award-winning guitarist and co-host of Raiders Live! News Talk Radio, told WND he recorded his new hit song, "Freedom," when he became deeply concerned about the political climate in the United States.
He said his music video, posted below, is free for download "to anybody who wants to use it in any way that is for the cause of liberty and freedom."
Horn said he found himself terribly burdened one day last year while sitting at his computer. He thought about his daughters, ages 1 and 4, and what life may be like for them when they grow up.
"I was staying informed and trying really hard to cope with this idea that my children are faced with the threat that they may not have the same freedoms that I've enjoyed in my life," he explained.
'Why aren't you fighting for me?'
At that moment, Horn had an epiphany.
In his mind's eye, he saw his little girl approach him and ask, "Daddy, whatcha doin'?"
In the daydream, he responded, "Run along now honey. Go play in your room. Daddy's relaxing right now."
The child asked, "How come, Daddy?" And Horn saw himself replying, "Daddy's tired right now. Run along."
All the while, Horn was thinking about his daughters' future.

“...stop waiting for a hero to come fix America...”
THAT is the Liberal/Socialist plan. THEY love a paternalistic government to do everything, fix everything, pay for everything, decide everything, etc.
WE, on the other hand, cannot let ourselves catch THAT contagion. It is the sure road to tyranny! We can’t hand our future over to men/women who purport to represent us. Just look at the crowd in DC now who are ‘supposed’ to represent us.
No more ravenous, fallible, self-serving and shabby group of carnival-ground chiselers has ever occupied the congress and it is time for a change.
Does that mean we should stop waiting for the Great Conservative Pumpkin to rise from the Pumpkin Patch, show us his pure conservative credentials and lead us to victory over the unicorns? ;-) Aw Shucks! It promises to be so much fun.
Stop waiting for a hero to come fix America, you must do !!
Amen! Our history is full of heroes who didn’t look to government to ‘fix it’. Are we still the same people? Does the blood of Washington, Henry, Travis, Crockett and many lessor known American patriots still flow through our veins?
I practically never shout online.
But hey, just this once:
AMEN!!!!
Great song & message!
bump for later read
Great advice.
I am not waiting for a hero, but we sure as hell need some leadership. Anyone seen any?
bttt
Most excellent!
Big Bump!
Check this out folks !!!
BTTT!

I have been considering this persepective for some time.
There needs to be a flash point, and those FIRST on the front lines will likely be casualties. Then what?
Do we back off?
At this point, the most likely current mode of action appears to be via what happens when SCOTUS declares Arizona’s law unconstitutional.
Do they acquiesce or secede?
Help make this video go viral, it’s very effective and RIGHT ON !!!

I agree, and I will do that.
But I want to know who the bravehearts are going to be, manning the front lines when the SHTF.
The race Marxist is sure to make an example of them.
Lots of brave talk out there, but who is going to risk all where the rubber meets the road?
Superbly apropos quote applied to an America flush with success. The downward spiral beginning somewhere in the mid 1960’s.
