Blast from the past

Funny how things return to relevance over 40 years later...

-dedicated to SCOTUS, and those who feel the old fuddy duddy is a "real" conservative

Kind of reminds me of John Lennon's Imagine in that its power lies in the visceral. The message gets silly when you stop to think about it. It's about the feels over rationality.

For example the bit about the freedom to control your body. For self defence maybe. Is he talking in favour of conceal/carry? We know he's not. He's talking about wanting freedom to end other life. A real liberty-loving, libertarian would have trouble applying the non-aggression principle there. 

The lyric is irrational, simplistic, self-serving, teenage thinking that isn't actually thinking at all. It's a kid saying 'Ah do what ah want."

Oh, and the attack at the end where he attempts to mimic what he thinks might oppose his kiddy-think is just stupid. That isn't the Conservative message.

Just in case you're wondering what I'm talking about. Watch the one below starting at the 2 minute mark. It will show you how fast the "freedom over one's body" thing falls apart when an adult applies a little critical thinking.
