Heard a song on the radio this morning today (WRPI - a local college station), it was a Christian Country/Folk song by Eliza Gilkyson called Man of God, from her album Paradise Hotel. It's some powerful Christian backlash against the Dominionist pretensions and general attitude of this administration:

    The cowboy came from out of the west
    With his snakeskin boots and his bulletproof vest
    Gang of goons and his big war chest
    Fortunate son he was doubly blessed
    Corporate cronies and the chiefs of staff
    Bowing to the image of the golden calf
    Startin' up wars in the name of God's son
    Gonna blow us all the way to kingdom come

        (chorus)
        Man of God, man of God
        That ain't the teachings of a man of God
        Man of God, man of God
        That ain't the preachings of a man of God

    Coalition of the fearful and the judgmental
    Patricians, politicians and the fundamentalists
    You never have to tell them how the money's spent
    You never have to tell them where their freedom went
    Homophobes in the high command
    Waitin' for the rapture like it's Disneyland
    Hide all the bodies out of view
    Channel all the treasure to the chosen few.

        (chorus)

    If I could I surely would
    Stand on the rock where Moses stood
    Look out people now we're gonna get fleeced
    By a wolf masquerading as a man of peace

    Jesus said blessed are the meek
    Jesus said you gotta turn the other cheek
    Jesus said help the poor and the weak
    If he lived today he'd be a liberal freak
    All the money changers would be out on the street
    Weepin' and wailin' and gnashin' their teeth
    Me I'm waitin' on the reckoning day
    When the whole world gonna rise up and say

       (chorus)

If you regularly listen to a Country station on the radio, I suggest you call in to request they play it. :-)
