Randy Newman, I thought I had a friend in you.





Who doesn't love this song?


Well, sad to say, Mr. Newman is not my friend.   Here is one of his recent pieces of satire: (Printed lyrics below.)


“I’m Dreaming” Lyrics

George Washington was a white man
Adams and Jefferson too
Abe Lincoln was a white man, probably
And William McKinley the whitest of them all
Was shot down by an immigrant in Buffalo
And a star fell out of heaven

I’m dreaming of a white President
Just like the ones we’ve always had
A real live white man
Who knows the score
How to handle money or start a war
Wouldn’t even have to tell me what we were fighting for
He’d be the right man
If he were a

I’m dreaming of a white President
Someone whom we can understand
Someone who knows where we’re coming from
And that the law of the jungle is not the law of this land

In deepest darkest Africa nineteen three
A little boy says, “Daddy, I just discovered relativity.
A big eclipse is coming
And I’ll prove it. Wait and see!”

“You better eclipse yourself outta here, son
And find yourself a tree
There’s a lion in the front yard
And he knows he won’t catch me.”

How many little Albert Einsteins
Cut down in their prime?
How many little Ronald Reagans
Gobbled up before their time?

I don’t believe in evolution
But it does occur to me,
What if little William Howard Taft had to face a lion
Or God forbid, climb a tree?
Where would this country be?

I’m dreaming of a white President
Buh buh buh buh
‘Cause things have never been this bad
So he won’t run the hundred in ten seconds flat
So he won’t have a pretty jump shot
Or be an Olympic acrobat
So he won’t know much about global warming
Is that really where you’re at?
He won’t be the brightest, perhaps
But he’ll be the whitest
And I’ll vote for that

Whiter than this?
Yes
Whiter than this?
Yes
Whiter than this?
Yes
Whiter than this?

Oh yeah

*****************************
If you disagree with a president with a failing record because of his policies of increasing socialistic government, who happens to be black .... well then it MUST be because of his skin color!  His record CAN'T be the problem!  

(Note:  You might notice, if you watch the video, that -- along with the pictures of Reagan, Bush, Ford, Nixon, etc. -- shots of Carter and Clinton, both white presidents, were not included.  I wonder why.)



Long post made short ....  Ask any conservative Republican this question:  

Which would you prefer -- nine conservative black Supreme Court justices, or nine liberal white justices?

Their overwhelming answer, which says it all, would be the bottom line.  

And Mr. Newman, along with Leftist America, doesn't get it ....  Or he doesn't want to get it.  I'm not sure which.  Either way, a tremendous talent is wasted on perpetuating a lie.

And that was MY bottom line.
