Subject: iRELAND- Politically Incorrect Songs???
Im not sure I can agree with you Shad, I beleive that Adolf the Aryan has already acheived matrydom.

There is constant change in our world and many deranged idiots seem to focus on the absolute worst.

Music is a powerful unifying force and I find some songs are so powerful that they can unite interest groups that on their own would not be formed on their own.

There are some songs because of their very nature that you cannot find anywhere anymore.

Damm Damm the Phiillipinos is a fine song....??? But its sentiments are so politically incorrect that they would cause riots in the right crowd.

But the song has a historical place as US Army Marine and Navy troops so liked the song that the authorities literally found it impossible to stop its singing.

Its haunting and forthright verses still echos.

The Line Civilize em with a krag, benathe our starry flag And return us to our beloved home.

Speaks volumes. Ya gotta know what a Krag is to undersand it though.

Its a soldier saying shoot them with a Krage Jorgenson rifle, the standard issue rifle of the US Army.

Few people can be proud of that statment but if you learn the history of the Spanish American War and The philipine insurection, as dirty a war as you'd every want to see you might just understand.

You search all over the net and I'll bet you that you cannot find this song.

It was stamped out by the Americans authorities who were embarrased by its message.

Its a typical soldier sentiment.

By the Way, I have a record IRA Songs of Rebellion done by the Clancy brothers. Its a great disk. But its message is seductive!!!

I've mever been to Ireland, Im not Irish but together with the Beattles give Ireland back to the Irish they make powerful statments
