With God on Our Side by Bob Dylan
With God on Our Side
— Bob Dylan
Oh my name it is nothin’
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I’s taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.
Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I’s made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

I have been doing a little more discovery on Dr. Dobson. We actually had much in common.
I wish that he and I could feel a bit more kin-ship, as we both descended from ministers, although his was a long line of evangelists, but then you were born just around the corner in Shreveport, La. and I entered the earth plane in Wichita Falls, Tx. We both grew up with Southern Bible Belt values, shared by Texas and Oklahoma, although I never left the Lone Star State as a child.
I did spend time in Midland with the Bushes, but I know that you have been skeptical of them for an age, so I guess that doesn’t help us find much common ground either.
I was even a Girl Scout, but you found reason to attack the Girl Scouts for promoting “humanism and radical feminism” when they voted to allow the Christian “God” in the Girl Scout promise, to be optionally replaced with other spiritual traditions’ monikers for the Divine, so as to be inclusive for all the Girl citizens of the world. I reprint it below, for I feel the depth of what it means for our girl-children, today as always:
