Oh Beautiful

Oh… Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies, Oh what lies they are… For amber waves of grain: The government is insane. For purple mountains majestic Above the fruit plain! Why is no one sane? America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown they good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! But they couldn’t let the Native Americans be… We are not all true Americans, we come from immigrants. O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, They say they don’t, but the government Controls our life. America, America… Where is they liberty in law???

The government corrupts EVERYTHING it touches, and we are better with smaller government.

I've noticed free speech comes with a price these days. The choice of governments is rigged against the voters now.
