Next Thursday you're invited to watch Rising Tide's live coverage

of a gala tribute in salute to Ronald Reagan.

Host Haley Barbour joins special guest lady Margaret

Thatcher in celebrating the former president's 83rd birthday.

Ticket's are 1,000 dollars a plate but you can see the event free on GOP TV.

Images of perfection, suntan and napalm

Grenada – Haiti – Poland – Nicaragua

Who shall we choose for our morality

I'm thinking right now of Hollywood tragedy

Big mac: smack: phoenix r: please smile y'all

Cuba, Mexico can't cauterize our discipline

Your idols speak so much of the abyss

Yet your morals only run as deep as the surface

Cool, groovy, morning, fine

(If white)

Tipper Gore was a friend of mine

(America)

I love a free country

(told the truth)

The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy

(for one day)

Conservative say: there ain't no black in the Union Jack

Democrat say: there ain't enough white in the stars and stripes

Compton, Harlem, a pimp fucked a priest

The white man has just found a new moral saviour

Vital stats, how white was their skin

Unimportant, just another inner-city drive-by thing

Morning, fine, serve your first coffee of the day

Real privilege, it will take your problems all away

Number one, the best, no excuse from me

I am here to serve the moral majority

Cool, groovy, morning, fine

(If white)

Tipper Gore was a friend of mine

(America)

I love a free country

(told the truth)

The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy

(for one day)

Zapruder the first to masturbate

The world's first taste of crucified grace

And we say: there's not enough black in the Union Jack

And we say: there's too much white in the stars and stripes

Fuck the Brady bill

Fuck the Brady bill

If God made man they say

Sam Colt made him equal
