29 November 2011. Video. JOHNNY CASH… Socialist and Fighter for Justice… The Left Isn’t Just for “Pointy-Headed Intellectuals”… It’s for Ordinary God-Fearin’ Folk, Too!

Johnny Cash (1932-2003), the “Man in Black”… committed socialist (member of the Socialist Party of America), opponent of capital punishment, advocate of prison reform, and fighter for Social Justice… he was a follower of Norman Thomas, not Rush Limbaugh and Slobberin’ Ronnie… do think on that…

Norman Thomas said, “After I asked him [a student] what he meant, he replied that freedom consisted of the unimpeded right to get rich, to use his ability, no matter what the cost to others, to win advancement. No decent society can tolerate that definition”. Johnny lived that in his life… and that made our world a bit better…

“Image from radical protest to defend the honour of Johnny Cash, who the Republicans… surprise, surprise… are trying to exploit… same as they claim that Jesus is their Saviour. They better hope that they’re gone shoppin’ when Jesus and Johnny come knockin'”. (I gleefully stole that one from Portland Independent Media… it was just TOO good)
