We used to sing songs about the old Red, White, and Blue.

The color blue has been outlawed by this regime. They now worship red, white, and gold. Nothing symbolizes greed like the love for gold.

The Ten Commandments have been replaced by the Seven Deadly Sins. with greed at the top of the list.

They worship the Leader that worships gold. The "People's House" has been desecrated by his gaudy gold decorations. He speaks before the cameras with a large gold-colored necktie. He is obsessed with gold. It is symbolic of what this regime believes America should stand for. Everything is about gold.

Question is, replaced by what? Retreat? Surrender? Collapse? Tin-pot bravado?
