As I was driving home from a TEA Party on Saturday I had the radio on for noise as I was planning my posting for the event. The lyrics of a Buffalo Springfield song caught my ear and as I listened closer it was ironic how the lyrics fit today’s events. Written in 1967 by Stephen 
Stills as a reaction to clashes between young and the establishment, For What It’s Worth became an anthem for anti-Viet Nam War activists…1960s radicals.
A funny thing happened to those radicals; they are now in charge of academia, government, media, and Wall Street (that’s right Wall Street heavily supported Obama and the Democrats). I missed most of the song so I came home to read the lyrics and was pleased to note how most of the lyrics now apply to those 60’s protesters. They have become the establishment! They are now over thirty and should not be trusted.
The tactics that they now use are those used by what they then called the “establishment.” Look at the leaders of the left; John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, Al Franken, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Al Gore… In this group, the Clintons look like the grownups.
I made a few slight modifications to the original lyrics. I hope that you enjoy. I would like to link to the song, but I do not want the Recording Industry of America coming after me.
There’s something happening here
What it is is becoming clear
There’s a man with a plan over there
Telling me I got to share
I think it’s time we stop, people, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Citizens speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from D.C.
It’s time we stop them from bringing us down
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Obamanoia strikes deep
Into your pockets it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the IRS come and take you away
We better not stop, hey, what’s that sound
Another new law is passin down
Stop, hey, what’s that sound
Another new law is passin on down
Stop, now, what’s that sound
Everybody needs to know what’s going down
Stop, citizens, what’s that sound
Our economy keeps going down
