Having seen this particular dead horse being beaten repeatedly, I, of course, responded accordingly.

1. Pretty pathetic when he holds up immigration policies of the most oppressive gov'ts on this planet
as something we should consider being closer to

2. That Was Exactly My Response
Something to the effect of we should try to be more like China and Iran and Sudan and the other paragons of virtue named in the song. That way we can achieve a right-wing paradise like Somalia. Only without all those pesky brown people.

3. I agree its pathetic. When you consider that we are not the first on our peers emigration list.
I believe we are #5 on Britain's list.

That's right four better countries than US. Perhaps its BECAUSE we have Ray Stevens that "they" hate us.(?)

Everything is beautiful, as long as it's whiiite
Don't want no colored man living in the white house

on edit
He wrote just a cheery little ditty about how great Sarah Palin is and how the media is pickin on her

everything is beautiful
as long as it's whiiite
we don't want no colored man
living in the white house

everybody's beautiful
if they stay in their own place
under god's heaven
there has to be a master race

illegals are just beautiful
so long as there's a bubble
they help us keep our profits high
& reduce our labor trouble

but now the bubble's popped
so home they all must go
thank god for our ICE forces
and SB-10-700000000000000!!!

our freedom wall is beautiful
let's build it up today
and send more troops to guard it
God bless the usa!

9. where I am sure that his big hit "Ahab The Arab"
is much requested.

"with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes and a bone in her nose, uh-oh"

10. At least in defense of that song
If you listen to all of his songs, he makes fun of about everyone

Southern Air: lampoons southerners

Dudley Doo-right of the Highway Patrol: lampoons Southern Police

Haircut Song: Nazi's, etc

These new songs are just weird, mean spirited and driven by the whiner mentality

The Tea Baggers are nothing more than this centuries 'Know-Nothing Party'

7. Arghh, I always loved that song, now it's going to remind
me of what a tool Ray Stevens is.
