I'm in the studio recording my next song for the Tea Party movement titled, "Feet To The Fire." In it, I chastise politicians for not keeping their promises. A line says, "They go to DC...seek approval from liberals..."
An adviser cautioned, "Lloyd, please change that lyric. You will lose half of your marketing audience. I played the rough mix for a liberal and that line infuriated him. Also, you're a Christian and Jesus would never point a finger at anyone." I appreciated my adviser's concerns and did a little research.
Jesus did call out people who were wrong.
Matthews 12:24 —
"O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil?"
Luke 19:46 — Saying to them,
"It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves."
Jesus also encouraged people to take a stand.
Revelations 3:15-16 —
"So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."
So much for wimpy centrists. Whether well intentioned or not, I believe Liberalism is wrong and ultimately hurts people. Liberalism killed the Black family! This is why I boldly stand against it. For these reasons, I will not change the lyric in my song.
Why should conservatives walk on eggs cautious not to offend liberals? From them calling my white fellow patriots "tea bagging racists rednecks" to me the "N" word, they are not in the least concerned about offending us.
Remember when Bush, in a spirit of bipartisanship, let liberal Ted Kennedy write a massive spending education bill? Afterwards, Sen. Kennedy turned around and accused President Bush and his evil heartless rich Republicans of not caring about education.
So, what part of the liberals' "we're not going to play fair and we will destroy you at all cost" game plan do we conservatives not understand? And yet, folks on our side still say, "Let's not make liberals mad because they may say bad things about us!"
Mark Levin's book "Liberty & Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" is a wonderful read. In a nut shell, conservatism is BEST for ALL people. Thus, I do not care what liberals think, what they call us or what offends them. I'm driven by love for my country and compassion for my fellow Americans.
Daily, we are traumatized by "Shock and Awe" attacks from King Obama's extreme liberal agenda administration. Playing scared or "liberal lite" ideas won't cut it. The only thing that will save America is bold peddle to the metal unapologetic CONSERVATISM!
Like that guy from my childhood who wore tights and a red cape, I stand for Truth, Justice and the American Way! What was his name? Oh yeah, SUPERMAN!
