No thanks. I'm with Sonia Sotomayor (Soon to be Supreme Justice Sonia Sotomayor). Roe v Wade is law. They can go fuck themselves.

1. "days of the theocracy"
Days of the Theocracy
(Kristin Lems)
2007-07-15
words and music by Kristin Lems c 2007 Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
Out of print for many years, I felt this was important enough that I allowed a free legal download of it from the freedom from religion site. Written in 1979....
1. First they fight abortion, birth control is next,
Then comes sex if you’re not married, finally, out goes sex
Put the prayers back in the schools, install parochiaid
Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made!

Chorus:

We’re going back, back to the good ole days
When men were really men and women knew their place
Back, back a couple of centuries
And welcome back the days of the theocracy

2. The family is so holy, there must be no divorce
And if a wife is not content, she must adjust, of course
And if he’s forced to beat her, it’s all for her own good
She must know what her limits are, as any woman should

3. The next to go is daycare, it’s all a commit plot
What could be more fulfilling than a child, wanted or not?
A woman’s work is housework, God wanted it that way
A salaried job degrades her since she never works for pay

Chorus

4. They teach us women’s lot is "love honor and obey"
And while their crusty notions seem like jokes to us today
They’re sitting in the Capitol, they’re voting on our lives
If we don’t stop them now, our freedom will not long survive

No going back..to the bad ole days...let's go ahead for future centuries,

And build a world that’s based on true democracy
And build a world that’s based on true equality
Ah – person!

5. Each generation must be alert to our rights being eroded
Edited on Sat Jul-18-09 05:11 PM by lunatica
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to take women's hard earned rights away except to gain control over them.

2. Frankly ...



I really think they DO fuck themselves.

And that is the essence of their problem. :eyes:

3. as george carlin said:

Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place, huh?

4. Well, in the 1950s, the only good thing about that decade (Eisenhower aside) was
minimum wage alone could just about make the bills.

Minimum wage of today? I'll be dead from excessive laughing...




(Yes, I know of racism and everything else nasty that occurred during that decade. But there are numerous facets to any time period and I know some trolls will try to spin whatever they want. Don't bother, I have you few on ignore. We've been through this before and I know you're unable to understand simple concepts...)

9. "the fifties sound"
The Fifties Sound
(Kristin Lems)
2005-01-15
words and music by Kristin Lems c 2005 Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
There was a very strong 50's influence in my life at the time I wrote this -- the song is best performed in costume, with props!
They say the fifties are comin again!
Get out my bobby socks and run to the gym!
The fifties band has got them out on the floor -
Hey wait! I been through this nightmare before!

Those olden days were not so golden you know
Girls who got in trouble, they had nowhere to go
Couldn't take their lives into their own hands
Spent their time a swoonin over rock n roll bands

In those days colored people knew their place
Didn't try to barge into the human race
But Elvis and the others picked up all their cues
And made a million dollars singing white boy blues

Whoa Whoa - whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
They're dancing to what oppressed us 20 years ago.

Girls wore thick makeup, boys wore thick grease
If you didn't have a steady, you were never at east
Swearin and sex, they were mortal sins -
Why the hell you think we brought the sixties in?

Everybody looked and thought and talked the same
And learned all of the details of the dating game
Boys, they were lettermen or else they were queer
If they were small or shy they lived in constant fear

Think of all the folks who miss the fifties sound
The millionaires whose profits have been going down
For the ku klux klan, those were the good ole' days
And back then, women really knew their place

Administrators missed the days when students obeyed
Didn't meddle in the world the grownups had made
The Pentagon's nostalgic for the days of yore
When every kid would rush to join their latest war!

So all you kids soakin up the scene
Sorry to break in on your American dream
But we lived through it and it ain't no fun:
No one's gonna take back what we won!

Teen angel, teen angel, rest in pieces!

8. They're idea of the good old days is depicted in LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
Edited on Sat Jul-18-09 05:56 PM by lunatica
Where Ward Cleaver is the wise father and June Cleaver is the homemaker in pearls, high heals and an apron. It never existed but they still want to return to it.
