My Country ‘Tis Phony

You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. “ Exodus 23: 1

This little doozer showed up in my email box today. As you can see, it claims to be from the RNC and begins with an obvious lie. As the Christian Right, the RNC, the Trumpers, sycophants, boot-lickers, all join hands together to spread falsehoods, I now turn to mock you all with a rewrite of a beloved anthem I sang about a million times as a first grader.

Enjoy.

My country ‘tis of thee, beating the libertines

Of this I sing

Land of my fathers white

Land that the pilgrims eyed, carved on Stone Mountain’s side

Let freedom ring!

My native country be, where the cabal will flee

The One I love

I love thy shocks and shills

Thy hoods assembled still, my heart enraptured thrill

Praise god above

Our music quell the sleaze

And bring them to their knees

Greet freedom’s song!

Immortal sons awake, god’s land bequeathed retake

Our Rock to silence, break, him crowned belong

Our father’s god to thee

White male theocracy

To thee we bring

Long may our land be bright

Wise prophet’s holy light

God’s will decide by might

Crown Trump our king!
