Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)***

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
How can you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

It's sad the way the liberals have to villainize a GOOD man - President Bush - because they feel they HAVE TO because we were not nice to Clinton. The CLINTONS are scum. They are involved in one scandal after another. Pick a GOOD Democrat as your candidate and maybe we could be more united. Are there any good Democrats who do not lie, cheat, and steal in the form of over taxation? JW...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

Grand Illusion - STYX

Don't hate Bush. Never did. Don't agree with the vast majority of his policies, though. BIG difference...

Libs are just very angry people. Hate filled and hopeless. They see nothing good that our country is doing and grow angrier with every minor set back all the while never letting go of past errors. It keeps building and building........I am hoping they will explode.

I personally do not hate anyone, with the exception of OBL. I pity him more for being a Zealot with misplaced hatred of his own.

I think war with Iran would be a disaster for The USA and the world. Saddam attacked Iran could not win. He used every means available including WMD's and could not win.

Do you really want your fellow Americans having to fight 10 year old children in Iran. That's what happened during Iran/Iraq war. Every Iranian male 10 and up fought.
Those 10 year old children are now 40 year old battle veterans.

I choose diplomacy over insanity.

sweet bl is on target.
divide and conquer.
both side use this tactic to control and both sides are working for the same cause under the cloak of darkness.
they both are selling out to foreign interest, Mexico, Turkey
All to form a new EU Mexi-Ameri-Cana.

This keeps us selling out the dept to China and one day it will fall in and they can come in to pick it all up. All one needs to do is look back at the great depression and the founding of the dependent state.

When we under their total control and yes taking away our guns we are doomed.
And we must wake up and hold each and every one of them accountable.

This is one of my very favorite quotes....I bet I get almost all thumbs-down for it:

"You can't say you love your country and hate your government." - Bill Clinton, 1995 (After the OKC bombing)

But THIS is how the left REALLY feels:

"A lot of wonderful people love their country and hate the military." - Bill Clinton, 1969 (Letter to the National Guard)

This, too:

"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say."
- President William Clinton addressing the people of Philadelphia, May 28, 1993 in the Courtyard, City Hall

Here is another song which has been picked up as favorite among the anti-war, anti-Bush crowd. Unfortunately, it shows the depth of complex social problems we've had to deal with during the Bush administration...

Oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ suicide
singin’ oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ genocide

Slam bam I come unseen
but like gasoline you tell I’m in the tank
like money in the bank
I smell appealing, but I’m toxic, can send you reeling
without an inklin’, keep ya thinkin’
‘cause you gave cash to the feds, left your school district for dead
[messed] you up in the head, but still they sayin’ nothin’s wrong
still believing the systems workin’
while half of my people are still out of workin’
anonymous notes left in the pockets and coats
of judges and juries from ‘Frisco and Jersey
threats and protests politicians mob debts
trumped up charges and phony arrests
stage a lethal injection, the night before the election
‘cause he got donations from the prison guard’s union

Oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ suicide
singin’ oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ genocide

Listen to my stethoscope on a rope
internal lullabies, human cries
thumps and silence, the language and violence
algorithmic, cataclysmic, seismic, biorhythmic
you can make a life longer, but you can’t save it
you can make a clone and then you try to enslave it?
stealin’ DNA samples from the unborn
and then you comin’ after us
‘cause we sampled a James Brown horn?
scientists who’s God is progress
a four-headed sheep is their latest project
the CIA runin’ like that Jones from Indiana
but they still won’t talk about that Jones in Guyana
this ain’t no cartoon, no one slips on bananas
do you really think that that car killed Diana
hell I shot Ronald Regan, I shot JFK

I slept with Marilyn she sung me “Happy Birthday”
singin’

Oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ suicide
singin’ oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ genocide

Well politicians got lipstick on the collar
the whole media started to holler
but I don’t give a [damn] who they spoonin’ in private
I wanna know who they spoonin’ in public
robbin’, cheatin’, stealin’
white collar criminal
McDonald eatin, you deserve a beatin’
send you home a weepin’, with a fat bill for your Caribbean weekend
for just about anything they can bust us
false advertising sayin’ “Halls of Justice”
you tellin’ the youth don’t be so violent
then you drop bombs on every single continent
mandatory minimum sentencin’
‘cause he got caught with a pocket full of medicine
do that again another ten up in the pen
I feel so mad I wanna bomb an institution
singin’

Oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ suicide
singin’ oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ genocide

...however, for prospective, this song was as best I can tell, first recorded in 2000 so, obviously none of these problems originated with Bush and a lot of them, he has improved upon or, flat out halted.

So, inasmuch, wasn't this song actually written about the Clinton administration/era? Of course, it was. Remember Clinton highly publicized trips to MacDonald's?

As usual, the anti-Bush crowd is off base in their criticisms of him.

Maybe they cause prefer this song

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

I don't know what's wrong with people who can't understand the difference between strong disagreement and hatred. Those same people should be furious that we are so close to war with Iran because of the way the Bush administration has mishandled the middle east.

Those people are unable to reason or think logically. They only thing they have are base emotions such as hate to carry them through the day. Pity them.
