Toby Keith: Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (2002)

When I put a Trump sticker on my car in 2016, some Austin punk markered "FUCK" over it. 
I can't express my political beliefs here in Austin, Texas. (Or on Facebook, for that matter.)
 
If I were to put an American flag in my window, or a Trump sticker on my car today in 2024, 
that window would be smashed. 
 
Modern-day Hitler Youth on patrol.
 
Very much looking forward to the upcoming retribution against the left-wing fascism of the past few years. 
 
I have never been a super-patriot of any sort (voted Democrat 95% of my life), but what has been going on under Biden is a full-fledged Communist takeover that needs to be completely countered. 
 
Looking forward to Trump's mass deportations of the 8 million illegals that Biden has allowed in. Looking forward to the ousting of current District Attorneys in each county who allow criminal behavior on their streets. Looking forward to MERIT once more being the primary criterion for a public job, rather than "Diversity/Equity/Inclusion." (e.g., Kamala, Ketanji, Gay, et al.)
 
What Keith sang about in 2002---That era was simple: Attack the outside forces that just attacked us in 2001. Today, though, the enemies of America are primarily the academics and immigrants and Communists within. (Re "immigrants": Ilhan Omar, a refugee from Somalia, became a US citizen in 2000 and a US congresswoman in 2018. Instead of being extremely grateful for the refuge that the US provided and astonished that the American system would allow such a wonderful thing---that a Somalian refugee should rise to the position of US congresswoman!---she instead became an advocate for Communism, hypocritically completely dismissing her new country.
 
When I was a kid, I was taught in school that the "McCarthyism" of the '50s was terrible. When I was 12 or 15, I agreed. Now that I'm old and able to think for myself: I think Joe McCarthy had a point: Today's State Department, the Justice Department, the FBI... from their behavior over the past 8 years, they're utterly corrupt and utterly beholden to globalist principles, not US principles. And their attempt to utterly crush Trump is a perfect example of Third World government behavior. I've never seen anything like this in my life. 

So yeah, GO TOBY, in your innocent year of 2002, when your only foe was the radical Muslims that had just attacked the US the year before. Today, though, after radical Muslims murdered 1300 Israeli civilians on October 7, we in the US are not allowed to sympathize with the Israelis---in fact, US college campus idiots march in favor of the Hamas terrorists. Different world. And no country singer to protest.
 

American Girls and American Guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
'Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see it clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July


Hey, Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue

Oh, justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way

Hey, Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue
Oh, oh, of the Red, White and Blue
Oh, oh, of my Red, White and Blue
