Progressives in Charge

ROBERT GREEN INGERSOL. He was a lawyer and lived 1833-1899.

I will not attack your doctrines or your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous...if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men.

PROGRESSIVES IN CHARGE

I was born in the great USA

With a promise of liberty

Unfortunately I failed to realize

Freedom can be vandalized

It can too often be undermined

By voters of the ignorant kind

The apathetic and misinformed

They contribute to a country torn

Original thought is frowned upon

They took our ideals and banned our guns

They stole our souls and muddied our minds

Transparency? No, now we're blind

Doubt in our leaders becomes a crime

More forced to live on government's dime

We've lost our face in foreign lands

And we are forced to bow to their demands

Candidates spouting hopeful lies

Are American patriots in disguise

Backed by Socialists with pockets deep

Promise to provide our bed and keep

They swear that the rich owes our existence

The lazy offer little resistence

Too many seek the easy road

And accept the socialists lies as told

Our Republic was grown on blood and sweat

Open to opportunities for all to get

Hope has been traded for a welfare state

And our liberty is now at stake

Diminishing success has come our way

The government's growing day by day

Patriotic songs cannot be sung

Our legacy is dead and gone
