THIS RIGHT HERE….

You will see Conservatives here criticize EVERYONE. The NOT Conservatives, don’t want to assume the politics of those who do verbal gymnastics regularly to prop up the worse parts of this administration.

There are some here who have NEVER criticized a member of the Democratic Party. It’s the HIVE mentality. It’s the reason you can go to any political forum and see a plethora of Conservative opinions about any issue, even different from those here. With the other guys, it’s like what’s written there was just transcribed here or vice versa.

The Democratic Party used to value individualism. Now there’s no such thing.

Not surprised that the right latches onto the song, thinking it is about Biden and the left. Or the left, in reaction, demonizes it. If he wrote a song believing it against the political class as the problem, then make that clear. If, as it sounds, he is a centrist, then TELL people that he believes that far right and far left IS the problem.

His problem is that he has not told us clearly where he stands and what the song is supposed to convey. People are interpreting it according to what they believe.

Jeepers man, he's got a GED and lives in the country how informed do you think he really is. I think that he's demonizing the politicians of both parties and doesn't even know that he is. What he is saying in his bio is that he knows that this country is blessed with many freedoms and they're being taken away and he only knows that it's the pols who are doing it without realizing that the Leftists are the ones demonizing those same freedoms. That there are Republican pols that aren't helping the average guy is truth on and they're as much to blame for letting the Leftists get their way without raising a stink. I think the song resonates much more clearer with a Conservative point of view because, baby, we're fighting tooth and nail to maintain those ideals that he is espousing in his song.

The Leftists heard the same song so why would they be so adamant about censoring it, huh? Think about it for a minute, the truth is obvious.

Well, if the song is about the poitical class, then the party of the elite experts should be the one to be offended. Unfortunately, the republicans have allowed themselves to be compromised by their own band of elite experts.

I George Zimmerman's battle between elite experts and common sense, I am ready for somebody to advocate for common sense. That should be the republicans, but they aren't doing it either.

point to the words that make this about Trump? Other than Rich I dont see one word that is pointed at the former president. Lets be clear about when he is using that word, rich. He's mainly talking about those getting rich off of being a politician. That's not Trump.


There have been many people who were already rich that ran for office in both parties besides Trump. They happened to be in both parties. Trump got rich not just from money, but from the hunger of power and all that. He did pit people against one against the other in his speeches.

I asked you one question, show me the words in this song that that make this about Trump. As far as "pitting people against one another" he's talking about politics.

here's the whole song show me in your wisdom the part that is Anti-Trump?

"Rich Men North Of Richmond"

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bull**** pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't **** and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't **** and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bull**** pay


Is it the part about this new world? Trump was trying to take us back to that old one...Americans first with jobs like his dad or grandfather probably had that you could raise a family on.

How about helping miners? Is that Anti-Trump?

Cutting out waste on welfare. Is that Anti-Trump?

Or how about taxing his dollar? As a single person under Trump he was not taxed on the first 18k a 6k increase or at the lowest tax bracket of 10% that put $50 a week into his pocket that was going to taxes before Trump.

Maybe its about those politicians that wants total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do. Does that sound like Trump tried to put in place? Or Trump was fighting?

You must mean..."Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down". That must be the Anti-Trump part? It's not like Trump ran on and tried to actually bring back jobs like this guy is talking about. Or help and respect those young people serving to protect this country

Stop making shite up and prove your words because his whole song looks like its basically was taking from what Trump ran on and won on in 2016

Who do you think bought the politicians out and running this country? The rich men like Trump, Soros, Gates, etc to have the it in their favor. They are the ones who are running this country. It is nothing but lip service by both parties including Trump just to get elected, and nothing will get down because of the 1% is running this country.

David where we are disagreeing is your opinion this was also about Trump....

as rich as he is and with the label as "the most powerful person in the world" these people you want to put Trump in the same group with. Showed all of us they, not Trump, are the people this guy is actually talking about.


Just because Trump was not allowed to finish everything he ran on. Just because Republicans and Democrats that this guy is talking about, wouldn't let him. Doesn't mean this is a anti Trump song. Trump is RICH but that was the only thing he had in common with those "Rich men north of Richmond". Trump not being a politician is what I believe led to the words in this song because like I pointed out......

the words are basically what Trump ran on/against and those 1% you talk about made sure at any cost that was not going to happen. Trump himself could have wrote this song

Yep, I don't care which side he is or isn't talking about. He's right, IMO.
