The write up here is easy, I'll copy and paste the best parts in a second... but quickly—this song is genius. As the Bush Era comes to a close, Newman's fantastic attempt to defend us Americans by comparing U.S. to the worst leaders the world has ever seen. Newman and the song hits its fever pitch when he correct points out that under Bush we were supposed to be fearful of being afraid. And it doesn't get more unAmerican than that does it?
I’d like to say a few words
In defense of our country
Whose people aren’t bad nor are they mean
Now the leaders we have
While they’re the worst that we’ve had
Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen...
A President once said,
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
Now it seems like we’re supposed to be afraid
It’s patriotic in fact and color coded
And what are we supposed to be afraid of?
Why, of being afraid
That’s what terror means, doesn’t it?
That’s what it used to mean...
The end of an empire is messy at best
And this empire is ending
Like all the rest
Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We’re adrift in the land of the brave
And the home of the free
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Pretend there is no reason to be fearful of Islamo-fascism at your peril, Randy.
Oh I forgot Obama will but them a coke and all is well!
