... [John Lennon's]"Imagine" - has become our political vision - a hedonistic vision without a heaven or hell, a vision of "all the people, living for today," of a world without countries, tribes, or conflict, of a socialist or quasi-communist world without possessions, or without too many, without greed or hunger, of "a brotherhood of man" that is "sharing all the world," of a world that will "live as one." It is a nice vision in some ways, as niceness goes, but a completely delusional one, because not everyone, not all cultures, share our prosperity, or our desire for peace, or our antipathy towards Warriorism. Unlike the hedonic Liberalism of Europe and America, some cultures want to win and conquer and dominate and subjugate others. To the Liberals of Europe and America, Imperialism is a dirty word. To others, Imperialism is a great and noble goal and inspiration.

The societies that forget how to fight for their freedom cannot keep their freedom. And the societies, cultures, nations and tribes that forget the necessity of sustaining a Warrior culture have nothing with which to fight for their freedom.

that's why the NEA, and the socialists don't want history taught in school. War is the natural order of things and the protection of your borders and civilizations is the normal course of history.

anybody that says otherwise is either uneducated or a fool.... take your choices brothers..

Lennon never saw a socialist idea he didn't like. However, he moved from England to U.S. because of lower taxes.

[John Lennon's]"Imagine" - has become our political vision

Anyone who quotes John Lennon has already lost their argument.

There is one, and only one, credible reply to John Lennon's song Imagine.

He was stoned.

And anyone who lends anymore credence to it than that was stoned when they listened to it or is currently stoned.
