And now to end this pointlessness with another Dreamer.

Moonbats Imagine

Kudos to Mike Rosen, for taking on the patron saint of baby boomer moonbats, John Lennon, by taking a closer look at the fatuous lyrics to the tune "Imagine," in which Lennon dreams about a nightmarish hippie dystopia to which the politically correct are expected to aspire:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Even if you don't believe in rewards or punishment in the hereafter, responsible adults don't live just for today. They defer gratification and save for a rainy day and retirement. Think of the parable of the grasshopper and the ant.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

No, I can't imagine that. It's anti-historical and contrary to human nature. People are inherently tribal and nationalistic. They band together, linked by common cultures, superstitions, beliefs, values and preferred systems of political economy.

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

You're a dreamer. Never happen. The only way the world would be as one is under the guns of a militaristic, totalitarian regime. And even that would only be temporary. Empires invariably fall.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

Good heavens, no! This is right out of The Communist Manifesto. No possessions? You mean no property rights? That means no rewards, no incentives, no creativity and very little production. Moochers living off a dwindling pool of hard workers. Who's going to harvest the crops while the "dreamers" are smoking dope and flashing peace signs with that silly grin on their faces? What everyone owns, no one owns. Think of the graffiti on the walls of community-owned property like a New York City subway station men's room. By comparison, have you ever seen graffiti on the walls of a bathroom in someone's private home?

As Rosen illustrates, the "puerile lyrics [...] sound like a collaboration of Karl Marx, Cindy Sheehan and Dennis Kucinich." No wonder our culture has been deformed by moonbattery, if childish fools like John Lennon are treated like wise holy men.

Brilliant rebuttal! Quoting someone disagreeing with the message of a Beatles song! Why, what a brilliant defense!

I don't think John Lennon was a "wise holy man." I think the 70s was a pretty stupid era in general, and hippies make me think of people who don't bathe often, and LSD. Your post was really arbitrary, I don't get what you're trying to say at all. Unless it's "I can't think of any actual reply to your post, so I'm going to call you a moonbat in a long and elaborate fashion, and insinuate that you're on dope."

Well played.

Lke most Liberals, he was real generous with other people's money. I believe that at the time of his death, he was worth over $200M. Of course, he lived in the US so that his taxes would be lower than if he remained in the UK. I know that he did fund some moonbat causes of his day but, he didn't live as he expected others per the ideology that he promoted.

All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. The political establishment never let Dan Quayle live down his fateful misspelling of “potatoe.” The New York Times distorted and misreported the first President Bush’s questions about new scanner technology at a grocers’ convention to brand him permanently as out of touch.

* Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
*Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
*Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, South Dakota audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you Sioux City…I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”
*Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
*Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:
“There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
