Merle Haggard Endorses Hillary Clinton

Tweet Share

In an update to yesterday’s post on Hillary Clinton and the changing American gender landscape, here’s some news.

Merle Haggard, whose counter-counter-culture anthem “Okie from Muskogee” earned him White House audiences in the Nixon era, has a new candidate for President of the United States: Hillary Rodham Clinton. According to the New York Times, Haggard is trying out a new song on audiences around the country, “Hillary.”

Here are some of the lyrics:

Eight years in the White House

With the know-how we need

When you walk with a leader

You learn how to lead

This country needs to be honest

Changes need to be large

Something like a big switch of gender

Let’s put a woman in charge

Put a woman in charge of theArmy

Put a woman in charge of the wheel

The country owes it to Hillary

And Hillary owes it to Bill

Eschatology, ethics, and country music are my primary areas of expertise, but I’ll admit I didn’t see this one coming. This must be predicted on a prophecy chart somewhere.

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
