The left wing liberal media have
Always been a real close knit family
But, most of the American People
Don’t believe em anyway ya see
Stop and think it over
Before you make your decision
If they smell something
They’re gonna come down strong
It’s a McCain–Palin tradition

Now this old Union’s got problems
That is plain to see
The Democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae N Freddie Mac
Just like 1, 2, 3
The bankers didn’t want to make all those bad loans,
But Bill Clinton said you got to
Now they want a bail out, what I’m talking about
Is a Democrat liberal who doo

CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they’re not gonna blink
And they’re gonna fix this country
Cause they’re just like you N ole Hank Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition
They’re gonna go just fine
We’re headed for better times
It’s a McCain–Palin tradition

I am very proud of America’s name
But no society is perfect
And we have had our stains
If I’m down at the coffee shop and
Somebody wants to give our flag friction
We say please move on
Cause we’re standing strong
That’s an old John McCain tradition

CHORUS

Some are bound to tell you I’m
Preaching to the choir
And that is very true
And we are going even higher
Like a mama bear in Idaho
She’ll protect your family’s condition
If you mess with her cubs
She’s gonna take of the gloves
It’s an American female tradition

:eyes:
Normally this upsets me but this is what your stereotypical babyboomer is and does. He rides easy off of the hard work, creations and sacrifices of his father and talks down to or lies about those who try to help those his daddy helped and sung about. But because he's country music royalty and a one hit wonder who figured out he could make $$$ in the 80's by entertaining racist baby boomers and their other base desires. But because he doesn't have the originality or the creativity to make up a new song to bash people like me, and his son, he has to re-do one of his.

For those baby boomers that are mad at me for taking their overly sanctified asses behind the wood shed and giving it a good 'ol spanking for what the majority of them did, I'm sorry but in a land where the masses had the say in what happens I hold them to some extent reposible for what happens. That includes (in case you forgot) the Reagan revolution, the moral majority, the modern religious fundamentalist movement, neo-cons, neo-libs, the Gingrich revolution, Scalia and other right wing jurist, and the forced Clinton trianulation with the right which led to a lot of economic destruction in this country.

1. I was hoping this was a joke...

Not that I'm a big Hank Jr. fan, but when I read those "lyrics" they are so forced and awful, I knew they had to be real.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Ahhh, all the poetic ability of a junkyard car shredder with an off-balance blade,

and all the ME-FIRST un-nuanced assholery of the worst of the Boomers.

[KamaAina]

3. How about this?

Are you ready to go bankrupt?
A Wall Street party!
We've got Ben and Henry, too,
They've got the next crash started!

Looks like the market's goin' down without a fight,
All my yuppie friends go broke on Monday night!

[Kali]

4. wonder what III thinks

[sasquatch]

5. Probably thinks he needs to have dad committed for the safety of himself and others

[sasquatch]

6. Probably thinks he needs to have dad committed for the safety of himself and others

[LeftyMom]

11. That the talent skipped a generation?

Then again, most of us get to watch our parents degenerate into self-parody, just not on television.

[sasquatch]

21. Yep, and he hates his son for it.

But he adopted a transiant one to make up for the loss of his other son, which is so very southern. They shunned Clinton, Carter and Gore because they were smarter than them and they wanted to evolve the country into the future. They embraced shunned transients, shunned because their ideas were found to be wanting, because wanted to be primative and stuck in the past; thats why the south went for Bush 1&2 and Ronny Reagan.

28. Wonder what Daddy would think?

Hank Williams was a drunk not known for political writings, but his songs were from the heart, about a lonely man searching for comfort or struggling to overcome his pain. He sung about tears, loneliness, heartbreak, cheating and betrayal, the angst of living, all in a way that broke your heart while showing that, simply by exposing these emotions of hopelessness, one should always hope for a better life. On his more positive side, he wrote and sung spiritual songs like "I saw the light." His writings and his singing were timeless explorations of the human spirit in all its sufferings and hopes.

Junior sings about getting drunk with his friends and having women he's never had.

I wouldn't say Junior is talentless. He sings a fun barroom song that's usually great to shout along with. But he doesn't have the depth of his father. Not even close.

[Fenris]

7. Somebody buy that man a Cadillac and a B12/Morphine injection, stat!

[sasquatch]

8. Why the hell not, he stole everything else from why not his death too

I'll drive as well.
:hi:

[elshiva]

9. That is one patriotic song, it just warms the heart.

Don't it? :sarcasm:

[sasquatch]

10. Makes me want to start building guillotines and round up all the assholes

[OakCliffDem]

12. Hank is a redneck dope smoking drunk that is best ignored

So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction. I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition.

[raccoon]

13. Ah, it's the baby boomer hater again.

For those baby boomers that are mad at me for taking their overly sanctified asses behind the wood shed and giving it a good 'ol spanking for what the majority of them did, I'm sorry but in a land where the masses had the say in what happens I hold them to some extent reposible for what happens."

W got (s)elected twice when YOU were an adult. DOes that make you responsible for that? According to your "logic," it does.


the moral majority,

I wasn't one of them

the modern religious fundamentalist movement,

I'm not and have never been a fundie.

neo-cons,

I'm not and have never been one. And all those other things you mentioned, I refuse to accept guilt or blame for.

You're very much into blaming, I notice. You must be from a very dysfunctional family--they're very much into blaming.
Perhaps Al Anon or Adult Children of Alcoholics would be of some benefit to you.

"For those baby boomers that are mad at me for taking their overly sanctified asses behind the wood shed and giving it a good 'ol spanking for what the majority of them did, I'm sorry but in a land where the masses had the say in what happens I hold them to some extent reposible for what happens."

Go Cheney yourself.

edited last paragraph.

[sasquatch]

20. I didn't say you I said most of your generation

If you want to be in denial about it go ahead, but I'm going to be honest about it.

[raccoon]

23. Oh, and most of your generation are perfect, right?

Like you?

It helps to have a group to blame, doesn't it?

Do you think that you bear some responsibility for the invasion of Iraq? After all, you're an American.

[sasquatch]

25. No and I think we do bear some responsibility, but we were the ones-

that was the only age demographic the Kerry campaign won by a landslide. THe boomers went out and voted for stupid, because stupid is what stuid does.

[raccoon]

26. You just can't resist the broad brush, can you?

I guess it's too much to expect that you might stop lumping all boomers together.

Sigh. Have a nice day.

[sniffa]

36. Don't worry about it

The Baby Boomers will die first. They'll also have no retirement.

:hi:

[regularguy]

14. "Bill Clinton said you got to." ?!?!?!??

This "song" has already lapped "so bad its good" and is headed into totally unexplored areas of suck. Wow.

[DS1]

15. someone please stick a knife through that fuck's head

Jesus Christ, that's a lot of stupid


and btw, your baby boomer rant is waaay fucking off-base. So far out, Hank himself would be proud. Idiot.

[sasquatch]

24. Oh I'm sorry, who voted in Reagan, Bush I&II and the Gingrich revolution

Was it space aliens or was it the demographic majority of the US then? I think you know the answer.

[unpossibles]

16. the McCain-Palin tradition...

lying, addiction, cheating on your spouse, being an asshole....

yeah, Hank's got that just about right.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Is this serious?

This honestly makes Toby Keith's crap look like subtle works of art in comparision.

[NJmaverick]

18. Yet another spoiled rich kid that grew up knowing nothing but

wealth a privilage. :puke:

[sasquatch]

22. Worst yet, he preys upon the poor and makes them prey upon one another

[jobycom]

27. Yep. Another drunk rich white guy voting Republican while pretending to be a commoner.

Isn't that what got us into this mess?

The good news is, nobody listens to Junior anymore.

[Parche]

19. Oh Hurl

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :hi:

[Bake]

29. Nobody's bought his records in decades anyway.

That's why he did it. One last shot on the teevee and tryin' to sell a few records to Repugs.

Bocephus - a man who built an entire career on his Daddy's name and nothing else.

Bake

[LynneSin]

30. Will someone please tell me what channel I can find this 'left-wing liberal media' please

I mean yeah MSNBC has Keith and Rachel and sometimes Tweety is on our team but in a nutshell the rest of it is as bad as Faux News.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

31. Hank Williams Jr is a fucktard

and a flaming freeper. He can go fuck himself.

His father had real American values who always championed the little guy. The Republicans hate the little guy. Hank Williams was pro Union. He would shit n his pants if he knew what his imbecile of a son was doing with his music

[sasquatch]

32. He would have his son placed up for adoption

[Dr Fate]

33. I like the original version better- the one where he smokes dope & drinks booze all night....

"...they get on me wanna know Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
over and over
everybody made my prediction
so if I get stoned
I'm just carryin'
on an old family tradition..."

[Awsi Dooger]

34. The first Sunday Night football game after the election is going to be fun

Wingers Hank Williams Jr. and especially Al Michaels on display. I'm sure Olbermann will say something on the pregame show and Michaels will be seething.

If we want to make something of this, bombard NBC with emails and letters. Hank Williams Jr. is the focus of the musical intro every week.

[sniffa]

35. I hope Hank Williams III writes something

He kicks ass.

:woohoo:

[sasquatch]

39. I amazed how similar his voice is to his grandfathers

[alphafemale]

37. Talent skipped a generation in this family. Hank III is amazing like his granddad

[AwakeAtLast]

38. He's just making sure he's irrevelant

Yup, still is.

:D

[Danger Mouse]

40. I thought I smelled something. Rancid right-wing tripe left to rot in the sun.

:puke:

[jmowreader]

41. Okay, Hank...let me ask you...

If Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition, and it got that way thanks to the Republican Party, why should we praise her for it?

[sasquatch]

42. Don't ask junior to think, it makes his head hurt

[mokawanis]

43. Conirms my long-held suspicion

that Hank Jr. is a jerk.
