I will always STAND for freedom and for justice. I think we have too many white flag warriors right now in the US. Too many ostriches, we need to WAKE up to what is going on around us. I do not agree with the wars in Iraq or Afghan, but I know if we ever face invasion or socialism here I WILL NOT be a white flag warrior. I will be like our founding fathers and REVOLT!! The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. THOMAS JEFFERSON, letter to W.S. Smith, Nov. 13, 1787 I love the beat and the rhythm but I will never be a White Flag Warrior!!! I will always STAND for freedom and for justice.

Flobots brings the kind of non-computerized and non-derogatory rap that I can get into, with genuine instruments (including a viola!) providing the backdrop for fast-flowing intelligent lyrics. As a conservative I don’t agree with their whole worldview, but I love their attitude within it, their passion for justice and hope for improvement. The album’s themes also include the power of unity, looking back on hardships as blessings in disguise, and the importance of personal responsibility – even if I believe they put too much hope in man’s ability to do good on his own. Standout Lyric: Who’s this coulda-been-Rhodes’-Scholar-centerfold / Everyday’s a resource to be sure…. But I feel guilty like the flight went down / And my cell phone wasn’t on airplane mode Standout Lyric II: Appetite has grown fools / Empire has sown rules Let’s throw out craving and things with no use People dropping jewels / Gems cant shine like our light To air is human / So the sky is our birthright In Case It Bothers You: About half a dozen curse words are sprinkled throughout the album STREAM THE WHOLE ALBUM: myspace.com/flobots Or just watch a music video: “White Flag Warriors” [...] [...] The follow-up to Fight With Tools is just as strong.

I doubt he could've effected the change he did, if he decided to use guns. Gandhi drove the british out of India using non violence and civil disobedience.

Declare war and other nations follow. Either in agreement or in defense, people die. Who are they fighting for when the warriors are just weakening their population? Violence is a last resort. And when someone would rather die than destroy life. . . Well who the heck are you to ridicule? If you ask me, its about the freedom to say you refuse to fight, than being raised and fed all these reasons to stand and use your arms. I really believe this song is just educating you on this free will; the fact that choosing non-violence is another, valid option. And its not the 'pussy' way out. It takes a whole lot more guts to deny yourself a fight and instead say you want to negotiate than battle to the death. When there are peaceful ways to solve an issue, why consort to violence?

I had to find it so I text and drove the name of the song to myself, almost killing everyone around me to make sure I had it. Well worth the risk. Great song and great video.
