Thread Name: Folk Songs for Conservatives
Subject: RE: Folk Songs for Conservatives
There is a rather good "conservative" folk song (well, it's contemporary actually) based on a true (I think) story of the UK squaddie (in fact I think it's called "the squaddie") who was on post in a pub/shopping center/somewhere with women and kids whan an IRA supporter rolled a grenade in, and he lay down on it to save the civilians.

I tend to think that the Battle SOng of the Republic is fairly right-wingish too - and any number of countryish songs
