Ace is pondering the ways and wiles of the political anthem. The current wisdom seems to be that right-wingers don’t have a real anthem that fucking rocks. Somebody ain’t been paying attention. I submit Big Man with a Gun, by noted conservative celebrity and pro-gun activist, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

I am a big man

(yes I am)

and I have a big gun

got me a big old Dick and I

I like to have fun

held against your forehead

I’ll make you suck it

maybe I’ll put a hole in your head

you know, just for the fuck of it

I can reduce you if I want

I can devour

I’m hard as fucking steel, and I’ve got the power

I’m every inch a man, and I’ll show you somehow

me and my fucking gun

nothing can stop me now

shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot

I’m going to come all over you

me and my fucking gun

me and my fucking gun

It positively drips everything good about American values and conservatism onto the floor, somebody bring me a fucking sponge, man, I’m getting weepy over here.

Plus, it’s got a better beat than the Horst Wessel Lied.
