Five months in, we can see the trends of this administration, and can extrapolate outwards what the next three and a half years are going to be like:
1) Sucking up to our enemies
2) Blowing off our allies
3) Vast spending increases
4) Vast tax and debt increases
5) Creepifyin’ increases in government scope and power
6) Reductions in future prospects
In general… malaise, at best. So, perhaps it may be a bit early yet, but I think that once the personality cult of Obama wears off and is discarded, documentaries will be made about this era. Any documentary worth its salt requires musical accompaniment. I have a few suggestions that already strike a chord with me, setting the same mood as this administration.
Glass’ Pruit Igoe (in this case, the video itself is also remarkably relevant, showing as it does the results of Obamist wealth redistributionist and socialist policies)
Williams Imperial March (if the Obamists get their way with the Civilian Brown Shirt Divisions)
And if he gets his way but is successfully overcome, this theme will seem appropriate for the resistance.
Beethoven symphony No.7, Op.92 (anyone who has seen the movie “Knowing” and caught the final use of this music will understand)
Requiem for a Tower. While the events may well be quite different, the actually feelings likely to emerge from the results of Obamas unwise decisions will likely mirror those brought up in this music (and video, especially from 2:50 to 3:00).
Gir Sums it up
And, distressingly, this piece of music seems like it’ll be very relevant
One Response to “Theme Song for the Obama Years”
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Reminds me of this:
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.” – Thomas Jefferson
