Note: This posting contains lyrics from songs which are offensive. This is not for children to read. Although I have edited the original lyrics to the songs, there is only so much editing one can do without losing the meaning. Please act accordingly.
"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home." – Irving Berlin, 1888
Its amazing how far we’ve come isn’t it? Doubtless this nation was
worthy of these thoughts when it was written. That was about the time
that my family came over from the Ukraine, and roughly at the same time
Irving Berlin came from Siberia. This nation back then was truly a land
of opportunity for those who wanted to make something of themselves.
America was a virtual wonderland of religious and economic freedoms.
But sadly in the last 80 years this country has lost a lot of its
innocence and its appeal. Even in the last few years we as Americans
have seen and allowed things to happen that would have been unthinkable
even 20 years ago when I was a kid in the suburbs. And now we punish
and ridicule publicly those who still believe the old fashioned notions
of God and country on the one hand and kill millions of innocent babies
on the other.
So I’ve thought a bit and came up with an updated and more
appropriate version to Mr. Berlin’s song which more accurately reflects
our relationship to the God of the Universe who so many want to ignore
and most of the rest in our society just treat like Santa Claus.
While our enemies call for our demise from our midst
Let us remember who made us free
Let us cling to the last of our freedoms
And hope that in spite of ourselves they will always be.
God blames America
Who’s forgotten Him
He will laugh at her prayers
Because she has strayed and played the harlot
From humble and aware of His Grace
To boisterous and proud of her lusts
God ignores America,
Because she has forsaken Him.
I’m sorry if this offends people, but frankly offending you is
better than making you feel good about things that are so drastically
wrong. Has the concept of truth and morals been totally eliminated from
our society? Do you want your ears tickled with permission to sleep
with your neighbor’s wife while your underage daughter kills her unborn
child right under your nose?
While the prime-time media slowly and surely desensitizes the nation
to immorality and calls it virtue what are you doing? Are you sitting
there hoping for another glimpse of Janet Jackson’s breasts at the
half-time show, worshipping at the humanist alter of athleticism?
Are you spending all your time ignoring God or avoiding God? I
daresay the ACLU pays more attention to God in the normal course of the
day than the average “Christian” does in this country. Does it really
make a difference to God? Jesus certainly seems to think so. According
to Revelation He would rather we as proclaimed followers of his be
either hot or cold, but not lukewarm. Here are His exact words to the
church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:14 – 22 “And to the angel of the
church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the
Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God; I know
your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were
cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor
hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich,
have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ – and do not know that
you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked – I counsel you to
buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white
garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may
not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and
repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice
and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he
with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His Throne. He who
has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”
How ignorant we must be for the things that go on from day to day in
this country to be happening. We are truly blind as Jesus said when we
see school kids shoot each other in the halls and the resulting outrage
isn’t directed at the hate-filled trash they filled their minds with
through the MTV culture and Marilyn Manson’s satanic filth, but rather
at inanimate objects which were no more capable of committing the acts
they are blamed for without a person to wield them than the dust on
your bookshelf. If you are a parent of a teenager, have you listened to
the music they play? Have you searched online for the lyrics and read
what the so-called artists are spoon feeding your children? Here, for
the enlightenment of the naive are the lyrics to one of Manson’s songs
entitled “Get your Gunn” -
“G**d**n your righteous hand
i eat innocent meat
the housewife i will beat
the prolife i will kill
what you won't do i will
i bash myself to sleep
what you sow i will reap
i scar myself you see
i wish i wasn't me
i am the little stick
you stir me into s***
g**d**n your righteous hand
g**d**n, g**d**n (oh, lord)
g**d**n, g**d**n
pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
but your selective judgements
and goodguy badges
don't mean a f*** to me
i throw a little fit
i slit my teenage wrist
the most that i can learn
is in records that you burn
get your gunn, get your gunn
get your gunn, get your gunn
pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
but your selective judgements
and goodguy badges
don't mean a f*** to me
i am the vhs
record me with your fist
you want me to save the world
i'm just a little girl
pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
but your selective judgements
and goodguy badges
don't mean a f*** to me
get your gunn, get your gunn
get your gunn, get your gunn...get” - Marilyn Manson
Can anyone misinterpret what Manson is teaching in his songs as good
or even that he might have a plausible deniability as to what his
lyrics mean? “I throw a little fit, I slit my teenage wrist.” … “The
most that I can learn is in the records that you burn.” … “Your
selective judgments and good-guy badges don’t mean a f*** to me.” There
can be no other interpretation but the deliberate undermining of the
child’s relationship with their parents and the total rejection of
their values to the point of violence. “The housewife I will beat, the
pro-life I will kill.” Manson and others of his type are deliberately
teaching hate of Christianity, of anyone who puts moral restrictions on
the listener, that the listener is incapable of knowledge and that
their life is worthless and even suggesting that they commit suicide.
If you can read that song and still believe the guns were
responsible for the Columbine shootings, you have as much intelligence
as the pieces of lead that flew from those guns. And if that song
doesn’t clinch it for you here is another from the album, “Portrait of
an American Family” titled “Lunchbox” –
"on we plow
the big bully try to stick his finger in my chest
try to tell me, tell me he's the best
but i don't really give a good g**d**n cause
i got my lunchbox and i'm armed real well
i got my lunchbox and i'm armed real well
i got my lunchbox and i'm armed real well
i wanna grow up
i wanna be a big rock and roll star
i wanna grow up
so no one f***s with me
i got the pencils in my pocket, try to put me down
wanna go out, gotta get out
to the playground, gonna throw down at the playground
i wanna go out
next motherf***er gonna get my metal
next motherf***er gonna get my metal
next motherf***er gonna get my metal
next motherf***er
pow pow pow, pow pow pow, pow pow pow, pow pow pow
i wanna grow up
i wanna be a big rock and roll star
i wanna grow up
so no one f***s with me" - Marilyn Manson
This is the kind of absolute filth that many teenagers listen to.
This type of garbage straight from the pit of hell is what all of the
kids who have massacred their fellow students were filling their minds
with before they committed their acts of hatred and arrogance.
This is what happens when Secular Humanism reigns and everything
becomes relative with no references to God in the schools or in society
at large. Darwin tells the children they are animals, they originated
by chance and they have no purpose. Then what is wrong with fulfilling
the philosophy of survival of the fittest if that just means
elimination of the weak? We’ve told them everything is relative and
there are no absolutes. We’ve told them that there are many paths to
God and that whatever works for you is okay, but don’t judge me and
mine. But these are all lies that lead to the same conclusion: Nothing
is evil if we do not have standards and thus everything is permissible.
If our laws do not reflect these values, artists like Manson claim we
are hypocrites to the teenagers and therefore we have nothing of value
to teach them. They tune out, tune into the satanic and kill themselves
or others around them because of the hate they have allowed into their
minds.
Hey Dad and Mom, it is your responsibility. You’re the one who is
allowing your children to be destroyed from the inside out. Are you too
busy being their friend to be their parent? Are you too busy with the
fruitless endeavor of watching sports on TV to pay attention to your
kids? Are you allowing them to repeat your mistakes because
disciplining them about the mistakes you made is viewed as hypocritical
by your children? You are a fool if you believe these lies. And your
cowardice is why our culture is loosing its foundations to the anarchy
that is coming. That cowardice and false virtue was rebuked by Christ
in saying, “…buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be
rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of
your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye
salve, that you may see.” We cannot grow in faith by not doing anything
with it. We don’t earn gold from Christ by using excuses to keep from
communicating our faith and what is right to people around us.
God told us to meditate on His Word. God said that the fear of
(reverence towards) God is the beginning of wisdom. He also said,
“Honor your Father and your Mother that your days may be long in the
land.” This is the only Commandment which came with a promise. Are you
teaching your children to honor you by being their parent and showing
them the benefits of the values your parents believed in or are you
allowing MTV to teach them values? Here’s another MTV value in another
Manson song entitled “I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me.”
"Norm life baby "we're white and oh so hetero and our sex is missionary."
Norm life baby "we're quitters and we're sober our confessions will be televised."
You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
Norm life baby "our god is white and unforgiving we're p*ss tested and we're praying."
Norm life baby "I'm just a sample of a soul made to look just like a human being."
Norm life baby "we're rehabbed and we're ready for our 15 minutes of shame."
Norm life baby "we're talkshown and we're pointing just like christians at a suicide."
You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs" - Marilyn Manson
I don’t think anything more needs to be said regarding Marilyn
Manson and his songs. But don’t think for a second the rest of the
“music” industry is innocent. If you would like to know what your kids
are being fed through their favorite “artists” then there is a
documentary out about the pop-stars who have made destroying the minds
of the next generation a game.

America has gone down the road towards Sodom and Gomorrah and has
even repeated the sins of the peoples which God drove out of Canaan
before Israel who sacrificed their children to idols. Abortion for the
reason of prosperity or any other number of arrogant attitudes
regarding the self being more important than the life of another is
idolatry whether or not there is a statue of Molech to receive the baby
with fire or the baby is chemically burned to death before it is even
out of the mother’s womb. What difference does it make? These details
are purely semantic in the long run. The end-result is the same. And if
America doesn’t turn soon, the end result for us will be the same as
the cultures who have historically turned their back on their Creator
to in essence worship themselves. And as we have seen from His Word, He
judges those who lose their focus and wander after other gods.
At the beginning of this blog I wrote out the lyrics to God Bless
America. I am putting it at the end so that we can actually make it our
fervent prayer as the song suggests, with the hope that the reality of
where we are stirs enough hearts to earnestly seek the return what the
song describes our land once was.
"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home." – Irving Berlin, 1888
