The Democrats are the most dangerous group of violent, undisciplined, self righteous idiots who have ever assembled. They have far surpassed their controlling and feared agenda, Where they once terrorized the blackman with their robes and hoods and burnt crosses, they now use the uneducated blackman as a tool of distruction against any the oppose their power, The black Americans have awakened from their dilemma and are casting the democrat chains from minds.

One of the greatest song ever written. (deleted and re-tweeted because the original tweet I quote-tweeted was not the original source) https://t.co/BZP9xswAMo — Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) July 17, 2024 The song “Rooster” by Alice in Chains is a tribute to the band’s guitarist Jerry Cantrell’s father, who served in the Vietnam War. The title “Rooster” refers to his childhood nickname, which was given to him by his own father due to his strong attitude and spiky hair. The lyrics of the song describe the harsh conditions and dangers faced by soldiers in Vietnam, including malaria, bullets, and death. The song’s themes of mortality, desperation, and the struggle to endure are underscored by the plea for divine assistance. The “rooster” itself symbolizes the indomitable human spirit facing insurmountable odds. The song’s writer, Jerry Cantrell, crafted the lyrics based on his father’s experiences and feelings, told from his perspective. Cantrell Sr. wouldn’t talk about the war, so his son imagined what his father might have gone through, resulting in a powerful and emotional song. “Rooster” is often considered one of the band’s most beloved songs, particularly within the military community. The song’s release coincided with the peak of the Grunge movement in the early 1990s, and its themes of war, mortality, and resilience resonated with fans. The song’s meaning is multifaceted, reflecting both the personal experiences of Jerry Cantrell’s father and the broader context of the Vietnam War. It serves as a tribute to the soldiers who served and a testament to the enduring power of music to capture and convey the human experience.
