The New Scottish Gentry

Franz Ferdinand 10 years since they broke out in the United States with a sense of Independence from major record labels, refusing to be labeled, and still refusing to be commercialized. That's right Franz Ferdinand rocks it out with their most recent album : Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. Keep on writing songs boys!!!

"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is Victory, Victory at all costs, Victory in spite of all Terror, Victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without Victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the United States and the World, no survival for all that the United States of America has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength." #messagefromUSAtoISIS #usa #unitedkingdom #terror #liberty #equality #freedomfromoppression #freedom #survival #usmc #royalmarines #winstonchurchill #churchill #america #determination #liberal #conservative #unity #intothestorm
