An anthem for the resistance

I loved the above song by Credence Clearwater Revival when it was first released in the fall of 1969.  Then it fell off of my radar until 1991.  That was when the late Lewis B. Puller Jr.'s Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography, Fortunate Son was released.  I bought it the moment I could and read it from cover to cover in one sitting.

I even wrote about Puller last year at the point in time when we were discussing the despicable comment by 45 about how he had made sacrifices.  You remember, after the appearance of Khizr Khan, father of a fallen U.S. soldier at the Democratic National Convention stated that 45 had never sacrificed a thing.  45 responded by claiming that his work in employing people was a huge sacrifice.

Well, I heard this song again yesterday and it hit me that it would make the ideal anthem for those of us who are resisting the incredible incompetency of 45 and his minions in the White House.  Look at the lyrics.

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah, yeah
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! y'all
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

The spoon born in Donald J. Trump's hand wasn't just silver, it was gold or maybe even platinum.  He plays at being a patriot but if there were ever a "Chickenhawk" in the Oval Office, it would be he.  He makes ridiculous claims that his time in a military high school gave him more military knowledge than those who actually served.  He's happy to send people like William "Ryan" Owens in harm's way and to claim the mission was a success even though his administration initially tried to blame the Navy SEALs death on the Obama Administration.

The lyrics regarding how Trump responds when the taxman comes make this an even more appropriate anthem to describe so much of what is wrong with 45.  What kind of person would inflate the value of an asset like a golf course on his financial disclosure form as evidence of his business acumen.  Meanwhile he goes to court to get the county where that golf course is to lower the assessed value of that golf course well below what he listed in his financial disclosure form, in order to reduce his property tax bill.  Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Meanwhile his tax plans will ask the middle class to pay "More! more! more! y'all."

Of course maybe someone has a better song for a resister's anthem.  Suggestions?
