Irony-Free Jello...Now With Extra Sarcasm

Chad, JB, The Nihilist and Mitch have jointly typed several hundred words discussing John J. Miller's list of the 50 greatest conservative rock songs. Every single one of them has dropped the ball in a fashion not seen since Darrin Nelson's end zone choke in the 1987 NFC Championship Game.

There is but one song in the entire history of recorded music that sums up true conservatism and it has heretofore gone unmentioned.

Feast your right wing eyes on the lyrics to "Kill the Poor" by the Dead Kennedys:
Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home

The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight

Gonna kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight

Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night

While they kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight
Neutron bombs, the end of the welfare state and joblessness, the eradication of crime and champagne fueled revelry. How much more conservative can you get?
