Fort Liberty Hypocrisy
Performed by Debbie “Hayride” Harper & The Prairie Songbirds
Fort Liberty’s Bullshit — Music and Lyrics by Alan Nafzger
(fiddle)
Verse 1:
At Fort Liberty, where the banners fly high,
They train our soldiers under a quiet sky.
10,000 boots, standing strong on the ground,
But the lessons they taught, well, they twisted it around.
They said if you’re pro-life, you’re labeled as hate,
Like the terror groups standing at the gate.
That’s bullshit, plain and simple truth,
You are NOT an American if you teach that to our youth!
Chorus:
We stand for freedom, we stand for life,
We won’t bow down to your political lie.
You can try to divide, but we see right through,
An American heart beats red, white, and true.
That’s bullshit, and we’ll call it out loud,
We fight for the flag, we’ll stand tall and proud!
(bridge)
Born free, wild and loud,
You can bet I ain’t ever gonna bow down.
Verse 2:
They took our ideals and twisted the name,
But fighting for life ain’t the same as your shame.
With our heads held high, we march for the right,
But they’d rather lie about our fight.
From Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty’s hall,
They forgot the reason we rise when He calls.
That’s bullshit, trying to change who we are,
Pro-life is peace, not some terrorist bull.
Chorus:
We stand for freedom, we stand for life,
We won’t bow down to your political lie.
You can try to divide, but we see right through,
An American heart beats red, white, and true.
That’s bullshit, and we’ll call it out loud,
We fight for the flag, we’ll stand tall and proud!
Bridge:
You can call us names, but the truth’s in our soul,
We fight for freedom, for hearts to be whole.
From the shores of Carolina to the Rocky peaks,
We are the voice of those who can NOT speak.
You think you can break us, but we’ll rise again,
This land is for liberty, not political spin!
Chorus:
We stand for freedom, we stand for life,
We won’t bow down to your political lie.
You can try to divide, but we see right through,
An American heart beats red, white, and true.
That’s bullshit, and we’ll call it out loud,
We fight for the flag, we’ll stand tall and proud!
(bridge)
I stand for God, I stand for this land,
With honor, pride, and a firm right hand.
Outro:
You say we’re Pro-Life terrorists.
That’s bullshit, don’t you forget,
You are NOT an American if you teach that shit.
With liberty’s line, we stand as one,
This fight for life, it’s just begun.

I know you wear green but this is the home of the brave. Keep up the bullshit indoctrinating the youth and you might be needing some Pro-Life, yourself.

Exclusive Interview with Alan Nafzger: The Story Behind “Liberty’s Line”
Interviewed by Chet Winkleman – Senior Editor at Bohiney.com
Chet Winkleman: Alan, it’s a pleasure to have you here. Your new song, “Liberty’s Line,” has grabbed a lot of attention, and not just for its catchy melody. There’s some real fire behind it. Can you tell us what sparked the creation of this song?
Alan Nafzger: Thanks, Chet. You know, the fire you’re talking about comes from real frustration. I read about how 10,000 soldiers at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, were being taught in these training sessions that pro-life organizations were categorized as terrorist groups. These are peaceful groups we’re talking about, advocating for life, and they’re being lumped in with ISIS? That’s insanity. It really pissed me off, to be honest, and I felt like I had to respond in the best way I know how—through music.
Chet Winkleman: The first verse of “Liberty’s Bull” sets the tone immediately. You sing, “That’s bullshit and you aren’t American if you teach that shit!” That’s a bold statement. Why did you feel the need to go that hard, right out of the gate?
Alan Nafzger: Because sometimes you have to call it like it is. I didn’t want to dance around the issue. We’ve reached a point where the people teaching this stuff need to hear it directly. These young soldiers are there to protect our freedoms, not get brainwashed into thinking half the country is a threat. It’s about being real. If you’re teaching that pro-life Americans are terrorists, you’re not standing up for American values. You’re tearing them down. So yeah, I wasn’t holding back, and I don’t think I should’ve.
Chet Winkleman: That sense of defiance comes through in the chorus, too. The line, “You can’t cancel freedom, you can’t tear us down,” feels like a direct message to anyone trying to silence opposing viewpoints. How did the song’s chorus come together?
Alan Nafzger: The chorus really wrote itself. We’re living in a time when a lot of people feel like their beliefs are under attack, and they’re constantly being told to shut up or change their opinions. The phrase “cancel culture” gets thrown around a lot, but it’s more than that. It’s about standing firm in what you believe, especially when those beliefs are grounded in freedom, life, and justice. The chorus was meant to be an anthem for people who feel like they’ve been pushed into a corner. We’re not backing down, and we’re not apologizing for it.
Chet Winkleman: One of my favorite lines is, “We the people wear the truth like a crown.” It’s poetic but also packs a punch. What does that line mean to you?
Alan Nafzger: That line is about reclaiming the power of truth. I think a lot of people have forgotten that this country was built on the idea that truth matters—truth about freedom, about life, about what’s right and wrong. When I wrote that line, I imagined the people, not politicians or media elites, wearing truth like a crown. It’s their birthright. It’s our birthright. When the truth is on your side, it’s like wearing a crown, something no one can take from you.
Chet Winkleman: In the bridge, you shift to a broader perspective with lines like “Don’t mess with the U.S.” and “Made in America, we know what’s right.” Was this meant to be more than just a song about the Fort Liberty incident?
Alan Nafzger: Absolutely. While the song was inspired by what happened at Fort Liberty, it’s really about something much bigger—our identity as a country. There’s been this slow erosion of what it means to be American. We’re being told that everything we thought was solid—our values, our beliefs, our history—is suddenly wrong. The bridge is a reminder that we can’t let anyone mess with that foundation. We’re made in America, and we know what’s right. It’s not just a patriotic slogan; it’s the truth.
Chet Winkleman: You also mention “God and country” in the bridge, which resonates with a lot of people. How do faith and patriotism intertwine in your music?
Alan Nafzger: For me, faith and patriotism go hand-in-hand. Our country was founded on principles that were deeply rooted in faith, whether it’s the belief in God-given rights or the understanding that freedom is something sacred. In the song, “God and country” is a call back to those core beliefs. You can’t have one without the other. It’s about fighting for something bigger than yourself—both for your country and for the values that ground us.
Chet Winkleman: The outro pulls no punches. You repeat the line, “You can try to rewrite what’s written in stone,” and then cap it with, “That’s bullshit, don’t you forget.” What message do you want to leave listeners with?
Alan Nafzger: I want people to remember that there are certain truths in this world that are unshakable. You can try to rewrite history, redefine freedom, or distort what’s right, but those things are set in stone. They don’t change just because someone tells you they do. And when I say “That’s bullshit, don’t you forget,” I’m talking to both the people doing the rewriting and the ones being told to forget. It’s a reminder to hold onto what’s real and not let anyone erase it.
Chet Winkleman: The song feels like more than just a personal response—it’s like a rallying cry. Who do you hope this song reaches?
Alan Nafzger: I hope it reaches anyone who feels like their voice is being drowned out, especially the people who’ve been told that their beliefs aren’t valid anymore. Whether you’re pro-life, pro-freedom, or just believe in the core values of this country, this song is for you. It’s a way of saying, “You’re not alone.” And I hope it reminds people that they have the power to stand up, speak out, and hold onto what’s true, no matter what.
Chet Winkleman: Alan, thanks so much for sharing the story behind “Liberty’s Bull.” It’s a powerful song, and I’m sure it will resonate with many.
Alan Nafzger: Thanks, Chet. I appreciate it. We’re all in this fight together.
And that’s how Alan Nafzger broke down the meaning and inspiration behind “Fort Liberty’s Bull,” a song that captures the defiant spirit of standing for life, freedom, and the unshakable truths of America.
