‘TIS THEIR REASON TO BE JOLLY

December 15th, 2007 | Category: Politics, War On Terror

Hello, boys and girls! Are you all in a festive mood this season? Well, sing along to this one…

Deck the innocent with bombs of folly
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,
‘Tis their reason to be jolly,
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,

Don their camouflaged gay apparel,
Hell la la, hell la la, hell la la la,
They’ll blame fanatics, so you’ll cry, “peril!”
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,

See them sell their lies before us,
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,
Sold out media will join the chorus,
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,

Corporate backing in considerable measure,
Hell la la, hell la la, hell la la la,
Destroy a nation to loot their treasure
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,

Detention, torture or death all passes,
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,
By arresting the truth-tellers, brainwashing the masses,
Hell la la, hell la la, hell la la la,

Sing the fascist bastards, all together:
Hell la la la la, hell la la la,
“All hail the profitable war on terror!”
Hell la la la la, hell la la la.

MARY KWEZMAZ and a jolly good rogering to you all!

    Ah yes - as we prepare to celebrate the joyous holiday season amidst CIA tape destroying - shredding scenes of torture (oops!) to decorate the w. house - all in the name of a democratically (?) safe & terror free season of “peace on earth, goodwill toward all” - dum dee dum dum dum……

    Why are Pakistani people rioting against their government when Al Queda has bragged about being responsible for Bhutto’s killing? Why aren’t Pakistani people rising up against Al Queda for her murder? If a high ranking politician or President were murdered in the U.S. and the murderer bragged about it, every citizen would be courageous and track down and punish the criminals. Are Pakistani people just afraid of rising up against Al Queda?
