Andy Schlafly over at the Eagle Forum on Springsteenâs performance at the Super Bowl half-time show:
Springsteen sang nearly all his top hits ... except there was one glaring omission. He did not sing "Born in the U.S.A.," one of his most popular tunes of all.
Wonder why??? The Obama mind controllers would not have been happy if he sang that title! Obama still has not proven that he was born in the U.S.A.
Seriously folks, let it go. Youâre only embarrassing yourselves.
And on a related note, Iâm going to the Springsteen concert here in April.

Some people noticed a remarkable thing that happened on the Washington Mall on Sunday at the Obama pre-Inaugural concert, a part of which I posted on Tuesday. The second last appearance was by Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao and Bruce Springsteen singing Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land. What…
Game Day. Don't pester God with petty Life and Death stuff. He's ready for some football!. And why not? Players on both sides pray to Him, credit Him with their touchdowns, sacks, interceptions. None ever blame Him for their Mistakes. It's all good stuff. What's not to like? Football's Biggest Fan…
Scattered thoughts, that is.

On Tuesday night I was teaching. Yup, my BIO101 class for adults. Scheduled for 6-10pm. But it was the mid-term exam day. I made an exam that can be done in two hours. I knew that my students were itchy to get it done and go home to…
Ah, this is going to be painfully dreary. Why do I let myself get dragged into these podium battles with kooks? I'm committed, anyway. Come on out to the UMTC next month for a game of kick-the-puppy. I'm going to be coming down off a real high that weekend, the IGERT symposium on evo-devo, where I'…
The Obama Mind Controllers sounds like one of those trashy novels you find in airport bookshops: The Omega Touch, Deep Undercover Masters, the babble, etc.
God forbid they should actually *listen* to "Born in the U.S.A.". Then, maybe, they'd see a *reason* why Springsteen didn't sing it now that Obama is in the White House.
(Not saying there's any connection at all, but IIRC, "Born in the U.S.A." is not actually a paeon to the wonders of living in the U.S., but more of a protest song about good ol' hard working blue-collar folk being screwed around by the rich folk and politicos.)
HAHAHAHAH! Those right-wing dumbfucks are so pathetically stupid, they don't even realize that Born in the USA is about ways in which the USA sucks.
In related news, Springsteen did not sing "The Ghost of Tom Joad" because Obama is not, in fact, a grape of wrath.
Most of Andy Boy's commenters think he lost the last of his marbles on this one. Quite a few quote the song and ask him if he's ever actually heard it. But the best comment was one where repubs were equated to dinosaurs. Maybe this is where the fundies get the idea man and dinosaurs walked together....
There's a lot of songs Springsteen didn't sing. Why not? Does he hate us for our freedom or something? I bet he likes french fries too. Just sayin...
This is my favorite comment by far:
It is interesting that Andy's post has now disappeared from the eagle forum blog...
Awwwhhh. It's so cute when they use the memory hole. For posterity, here's the original:
Emphasis as in original.
Did you hear that reporters think that Obama can read minds? http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/2009/02/reporters-fearful-that-obama…
Obama's met the standards of proof for courts of law. DNA would be better, but there's no way DNA could apply in this instanr.
Schlafly also appears not to be much of a Springsteen fan. If he knew what the lyric of "Born in the U.S.A." was, maybe he'd understand.
