It doesn't appear that you posted this on MUSE or STARFISH.
Is this unfortunate site your dumping ground?

As far as "neurosis driven."...etc

You've left a years long trail of this dung.
Telling us all that we need to listen to Rachel Maddow.
Exclaiming that you are not sure that you could prove up your American citizenship.
Telling us what your fellow citizens in Germany think of America.

All the while trying to frame it as an exploration of song structure rather than political agitation and drivel.
Based upon what I have seen, my personal conclusions are that you are effeminate, highly neurotic, very controlling and insidious.
All of which explains to me why you have an endless need to come and plant this political drivel on a site designed for songwriting.

There are a handful of people coming back into this site and putting up some thoughtful songs that deal with relationships and personal introspections.

Why don't you give this site the opportunity to breath...free from the dissension created by your singularly incessant political dungbeetle-ing?
Take this somewhere that political arguments are the mission of the site. There are millions.

The site and you advocate for "free speech." Well, there is some free speech that you may not appreciate.

Marty, I think you've made your position very clear, and you've now moved well beyond criticism of the song into personal judgments about me. I'm not going to respond to those.

You are entitled to believe that political songs don't belong on this site. You're also entitled to dislike this song, my other songs, or the subjects I choose to write about.

But whether a song is appropriate for this site isn't for either you or me to decide. That's what the moderators are here for. Gary has already commented on this song as a moderator, and apparently didn't see a problem with its subject matter or its presence here.

I’m going to leave it at that. I came here to share songs, discuss songwriting, and get feedback on my work. I'm not interested in turning a songwriting thread into a personal argument. Feel free to share some of your songs with us.
