DON'T TREAD ON ME! (9/11)
Hello Kiddies,
Oh look It's another post about 9/11. I've liked most of the ones I have seen here, and seeing how people remember the events of the day and where they were when an important, if very sad day in American history took place. While I understand the sadness and cries for peace and unity, I'm going to take a bit of a different tack.
When I think about that day, I get angry. Angry at the people who did it, and the ones who allowed it. This isn't about Republican or Democrat politics. It's about this country standing up to those who would do us harm and wiping them off the face of the earth. Today both Presidential candidates went to where over 3,000 people lost their lives to engage in solemn apathy, false sympathy, and collective hand-wringing as they shed crocodile tears.
If elected, will either of them do whatever is necessary to make sure it never happens again? Will this nation once again live without fear?
Can America act in it's own interest and once again be a force to be reckoned with worldwide? Somehow I don't think those questions will come up in the debates.
This song, written a decade before the attacks, accurately portrays the appropriate sentiment. Personally, I would make it the National Anthem. Maybe someday a Presidential Candidate will have the balls to use it as their campaign song. They'll have my vote.
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
Don't tread on me
Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling
of her tail
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
Don't tread on me
