This song is more appropriate now more than ever.

It takes tremendous courage and integrity to stand up for what you believe, especially when the underlying goal is peace for all people. Kristofferson is a treasure as a talent and a great man. Thank God for people like this to hopefully inspire the rest of us to try and use our talents to bring something good to the world.

One word, "Halabja"

@jameswalshe09 Kris is an excellent example of how one does not have to be vulgar to make great and memorable music - he is a true talent, oh and by the way a lyrical genius

Thanks for this post.

this is sooooo true today. The government is getting worse all the time and we the average joe, and those on social security our parents are suffering because of it.

@keirajaimon And you; well said.

[rea1001]

@bornstandin Agreed.

@rea1001 So many people have no idea about his background. He not only knows of what he speaks, it's well said. He's one of the grratest poets to ever grace this planet.

Like @aynatn says, Kris has earned the right to talk. If he says his Daddy would have been shocked at what we're doing he's talking about a 100% military man and patriot. Bless those who fight against evil, like we saw with Hitler in WW II and bless those who provided leadership in those perilous times. But damn the bastards who sacrifice the lives of our young men and those who we attack for their own gain. Kris has a conservative audience too but he's not afraid to speak his heart. Bless him.
