Politically Incorrect

Answer my call to arms patriots all
  and rise up with blunt collateral force -
rage against the culture wars that we stall
  the Neo-Left tyranny at its source.
Return fire on who rephrase and revise -
  rage and be politically direct!
On these New Age wingnuts upon them rise,
  rise up till no longer are we “Correct”.
Oppose their mad spin and liberal plot,
  let not the herbal tea Nazis prevail -
remember back that which old sense forgot
  and ally our true selves that we not fail.
Speak the truth these lentil eaters betray
and be not a pawn to what fools obey.


          Written: September 1995


Wrote this piece nearly 30 years ago but
sadly it is more relevant now than ever.

Keith your analytical mind was firing on all cylinders thirty years ago my friend. Common sense will prevail thirty years later. So what does that say, it says that you were right, so chances are what you believe today will hold true thirty years from now. You can't fix common sense either you have it or you don't. Thanks for sharing and give yourself credit and if any body has the right to say "I told you so!" it's you. Cheers my friend. God bless you for speaking your truths...

Recommended reading: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, Holy Bible...it's there for those who get off their phones. No excuses, just arrogance.

30 years ago Orwell’s book was still a scary cautionary tale but today it’s used as a playbook. To Democrats and parties of the left all over the world it is their bible.
