Conservative Firing Line ^ | April 2, 2017 | TK Whiteman

Rock and politics… what hath Charlie Daniels wrought?

While the whining lyrics of Elton John, Green Day, Sting and Bruce Springsteen dominate the charts when it comes to political songs making their way to the charts, there have been more than a few that managed to work their way into the hearts of conservitarians everywhere.

While most of the tunes on this list are openly and unashamedly jingoistic, a few have managed over time and circumstances to easily fall into the small government and/or flat-out nationalistic leanings of many Rock fans.

Anyone who categorizes music as conservative and liberal is a pathetic herp-derp.

And Elton is brilliant, regardless of his faggy (but still brilliant) lyrics.

Too bad the singer is a flaming liberal.

Actually those are Bernie Taupin's lyrics.

Politics and regionalism aren't the same thing , but if you're going with Charlie Daniels, you might as well mention Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," which wasn't an endorsement for George Wallace, though some people took it that way.

I'm not sure it makes much sense to look for conservative rock songs. Rockers may be in a conservative mood at some point -- the Beatle's "Taxman," for example -- but that doesn't make them conservatives. Everybody at some point has something they want to conserve, but that doesn't mean they'd be friendly to organized political conservatism.

Anyway, here's National Review's attempt at a list

Skynyrd did the gun-grabber anthem "Saturday Night Special"

I disagree. They weren't advocating for gun control, if you really pay attention to the lyrics...
