Recording artists Bruce Springsteen and Pete Seeger Symbolize Where the U.S. Could be Heading.
"This Land is Your Land" is a song written by Woody Guthrie. Guthrie was tired of the radio overplaying Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." He thought the song was unrealistic and complacent. Partly inspired by his experiences during a cross-country trip and his distaste for God Bless America, he penned his most famous song, "This Land Is Your Land" in February 1940. It was titled "God Blessed America."
Springsteen and Seeger sang "This Land is Your Land" at President Obama's inauguration concert in front of 750,000 people on the Washington D.C. Mall. Although Seeger claims he left the Communist Party in 1950, he still fosters Marxist beliefs. At the inauguration, Seeger only agreed to sing the song if the original verses were re-inserted.
In context, the original verses speak against private property rights. They show workers in relief lines, leaving the impression that people are being exploited by free market capitalism. Christianity was alluded to by including the words "in the shadow of the steeple," which showed the church not helping the people.
"There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me."
"I'm still a Communist, in the sense that I don't believe the world will survive with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer," Seeger said in a 2000 interview with Mother Jones magazine.
Recently, the San Diego Unified school district offered an apology to Seeger. The organization tried to ban him in 1960 from performing because of his Marxist leanings. The American Civil Liberties Union intervened on his behalf and he was able to perform.
Bruce Springsteen who joined Seeger at the inauguration, promotes himself as America's working-class hero despite being a multi-millionaire himself. Springsteen recently released an album called 'Working On A Dream' which he also performed at the Super Bowl.
Pete Seeger is a Unitarian Universalist, an apostate religion that emphasizes tolerance and respect and incorporates Jewish, Christian and other faith traditions, but has no creed or doctrine according to ApologeticsIndex.org. They believe that personal experience, conscience, and reason should be the final authority.
Christians need to pray for the United States. Our country was not founded on Marxist principles that allow a few elites to control the rights of many. Socialism always leads to moral and financial failure as the European nations currently demonstrate.
