The Tangent College
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
I’ve never been a big fan of The Who, but this song in my opinion is the anthem of the new Trump regime and everyone of us should heed the message.
“Won’t Get Fooled Again” – give it a good listen, once again, while you read the words.
I never knew all the lyrics; but I was drawn to the song from thinking about what is actually the last line in the song – “meet the new boss, same as the old boss” – and how appropriate it is for the new regime. But most all the words are appropriate and particularly the chorus:
I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
You can smile and grin at the change all around but please be careful “don’t get fooled again”. I believe we are being played. But there’s nothing to do except to carry on with your life – pick up your guitar and play, just like yesterday, and get on your knees and pray – because I think everything will appear to change but 4 years from now we will be in no better place, and very possibly worse. But there’s nothing we can do except pick up our guitar and play. Play along. Enjoy the ride because I think it will be a wild one.
Let’s consider the rest of the lyrics:
We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
(Chorus)
Change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
‘Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
(Chorus)
I’ll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
There’s nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
(Chorus)
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
The Constitution basically means nothing anymore and hasn’t for so many, many years despite all the courts claiming that one thing or the other is “unconstitutional”. None of these politicians or judges or presidents understand the spirit of the Constitution any more than many pastors, teachers and false prophets understand the spirit of the word of God. Any person with an agenda can prove anything is either constitutional or unconstitutional, biblical or un-biblical, if they so choose to twist either one.
So Donald Trump is going to break the Constitution, again and again, in order to supposedly save the Constitution. Seems to me George W. Bush did a similar kind of thing during the financial crisis – which was probably a manufactured crisis. Time once again to pick up the guitar and play…
We are still utterly surrounded by Christian Zionists who will think they are serving God by clearing out the “holy land”, committing genocide against the Amalekites (Who are actually the true Semites), leading us into World War III and ushering in the antichrist in Israel. Uber Christian Zionist fools like Mike Huckabee, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, and the new false prophetess Paula White heading up Trump’s new, outrageously unconstitutional, “White House Faith Office”, represent what Donald Trump is all about. “The parting on the left is now the parting on the right”.
Tyranny is tyranny. But the “The hypnotized never lie”.
Regarding this new White House Faith Office, headed up by the false prophetess Paula White, two things that can make me gag, please read this excellent piece by Chuck Baldwin entitled, “Trump’s White House Faith Office Head Paula White: The High Priestess of False Prophets”.
Will anything wake these people up?!
Jesus put it this way when he was asked by his disciples, “what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” he responded by warning them, “See to it that you be not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is at hand’; do not go after them.” – Luke 21:7-8
I think this is the attitude we all should have:
Tip our hats to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up your guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then get on your knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
