Who is America's Voltaire?

So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men. Voltaire I believe I've satisfactorily answered this. Bill Maher. 

New Song

Begin with Chorus I've got a right (Backup repeat) I've got a right We've all got a right (Back up echo) (We've all got a right) Well Ive got a right to fuck Dale Beavers wife All night I can see you need a real man (all drop out but drums) And baby baby baby that just what I am oooh Mama mama its all right. Verse (follows "when i get home" Beatles middle bridge melody as verse) You saw me standing there and It was clear You had to take me home But what do we do about you know who.... Over there? Back to chorus.
