Maybe we can resurrect Quantrill to take care of the problem:)
"The Call of Quantrill"
This song was reportably the favorite of Jesse James.
1st Verse:
Up! comrades, up! The moon´s in the west, and the hounds of old Pennock will find out our nest.
We must be gone ere the dawning of day; the Quantrill they seek shall be far, far away.
Their toils after us shall ever be vain. Let them scout through the brush and scour the plain;
We´ll pass through their midst in the dead of the night. We are lions in combat and eagles in flight.
Rouse, my brave boys, up, up and away; press hard on the foe ere the dawning of day;
Look well to your steeds so gallant in chase. May they never give o´er till they win in the race.
2nd Verse:
When old Pennock is weary and the chase given o´er, we´ll pass through their midst and bathe in their gore. We´ll come as a thunderbolt comes from the cloud; we´ll smite the oppressor and humble the proud. Few shall escape us and few shall be spared, for keen is our saber, in vengeance ´tis bared; For none are so strong, so mighty in fight, as the the warrior who battles for our Southern right.
Chorus:
Rouse, my brave boys, up, up and away; press hard on the foe ere the dawning of day;
Look well to your steeds so gallant in chase. May they never give o´er till they win in the race.
3rd Verse:
Though the bush is our home, the green sod our bed, our drink from the river, and roots for our bread, We pine not for more; we bow not the head, for freedom is ever within the green wood.
Tyrants shan´t conquer and fetters shan´t bind, for true are our rifles; our steeds like the wind.
We´ll sheathe not the sword; we´ll draw not the rein, till Pennock is banished from valley and plain.
Rouse, my brave boys, up, up and away; press hard on the foe ere the dawning of day;
Look well to your steeds so gallant in chase. May they never give o´er till they win in the race.

Via SusanWith one eye on the presidency – he’d settle for “vice” – Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon made the rounds of the morning news shows this past Sunday to rationalize his mishandling of the freak show being staged in Ferguson.
As a would-be national candidate in an increasingly leftist party, Nixon has his critics. According to the Washington Post, some see him as “too moderate for the Democratic Party’s base.”
Again according to the Post, Nixon has had an “uneasy relationship with black voters.”
On Sunday, the ambitious governor used the platform provided by CBS’ “Face the Nation” to disprove his critics and to prove he can pander enough to represent the national party.
“I think it had an incendiary effect,” Nixon said of Michael Brown’s starring role in now famous convenience-store video. The Ferguson police, he argued, were “attempting to besmirch a victim of a shooting, shot down in his own street, a young man.”
Besmirch? There was a time in not so distant past when then-Attorney General Jay Nixon was not so squeamish about besmirching the state’s citizens. In fact, he went shockingly beyond the besmirching stage.
For Heather Johnson* and 14 other Missouri citizens, there is no forgetting and no forgiving. Allow me to explain.
