Thread Name: BS: According to Falwell
Subject: RE: According to Falwell
In view of several of the comments posted above, as well as the Robertson and Falwell comments that spawned this thread, I've gotta post this old song which I resurrected earlier this year [and, on one verse, just now]. Sorry I can't post the tune, but I don't know how.

The Christian Coalition Song
© 2001 Sonja W.0ates
adapted from The Moral Majority Song © 1983 Sonja Wilde-Oates

Well, our country's going down the tubes, for sure --
Free love, women's lib, and other kinds of crime.
But the Christian Coalition's on the march
To keep every one of you in line.

Oh, yes, it's all well, we've got Jerry Falwell
And the vigilant Religous Right to run our private lives.
Individual freedoms, hey, we don't need 'em,
'Cause when folks are free they may not do
The things we think they oughta do,
So, we're gonna keep an eye on you, Joe Offer,* Till the judgment day arrives.

Well, the Trade Center terror was an awful shame --
Something that should be abhorred--,
But Jerry says we oughta blame the liberals and the gays;
It's a spanking from the Lord!

Oh, yes indeedy, we've got Ralph Reed-y,
Gonna legislate morality and keep us going straight.
We'll save our kiddoes from their libidoes.
If you're a teenage lass, and not a lad,
And you try to be safe while you're being bad,
We're gonna tell your mom and da-ad, so prepare to procreate.

Socialism's not our bag, you should make it on your own.
We'll protect your rights till birth--then you're on your own.

But happily, we've got Phyllis Schlafly,
Telling women we should know our place & teaching right from wrong.
We'll save our nation from fornication.
We're gonna ban obscenity, take rape and violence off TV
& put 'em back in the home, where they oughta be--
We gotta keep the family strong.

Jerry wants to save your soul from sin,
Sleaze and pornographic trash (like: "The Nation," "Ms.,", "Mother Jones").
Keep those checks and dollars coming in; we take credit cards or cash.

But it's all well, we've got Jerry Falwell
And his counter-evolutionary crew To teach our nation's youth.
Of Darwin's theory we're kinda leary,
So we'll teach the Bible's theory 'Cause we don't want to think that we
Ever swung from our tails from tree to tree In hairy birthday suits.

Peace is overrated. War can be divine
'Long as national interest is the bottom line.

Yes, without bias, I say we're pious.
We worked our pious fannies off to stop the ERA.
Let's have a hand for the things we stand for:
It's down with commies, up with nukes,
We don't burn bras, we just burn books,
We love the right, so we knock the kooks --and fry the crooks!***--
That's the good old American, Moral Majority, Christian Coalition way.

*Insert name of your favorite infidel, commie, liberal, etc.

**The original verse was, "Well, the aids epidemic is an awful shame-- Something that should be abhorred--,
but Jerry says it only strikes the dopers and the gays --
It's a spanking from the Lord." ***Original 1983 lyrics, "... and bomb the gooks!"
