| "Killing in the Name" | Rage Against the Machine | Unsubstantiated accusations of racism by law enforcement agencies, going as far as to accuse them of supporting the Ku Klux Klan. "Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses". | 1992 | Rock |
| "Bodies" | Drowning Pool | "Let the bodies hit the floor"; bad coincidental release timeline in conjunction with 9/11. It was also used to break the will of soldiers during the Iraq War, seems to promote violence and bloodshed. | 2001 | rock/heavy metal |
| "Beds are Burning" | Midnight Oil | Calls for an extremely drastic compromise in response to the Aboriginal conflicts; handing back Australia. | 1987 | rock |

| "I Kissed A Girl" | Katy Perry | A song about a lesbian kiss which has been heavily criticized by conservatives in the media. | 2008 | pop |
| "Imagine" | John Lennon | A celebratory song of atheism, godlessness, and a world that "will live as one" once God is defeated. | 1971 | rock |
| "Lying is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" | Panic! At the Disco | Liberalism at its finest: promoting sexual immorality in young adults. | 2010 | Pop |
| "This Land Is Your Land" | Woody Guthrie (also recorded by various liberal/socialist artists) | Song attacking the institution of private property, promoting welfare and criticising the poverty that exists under the capitalist system. | 1940 | Folk |
| "Back in the USSR" | The Beatles | A parody of Beach Boy songs, as well as "Back in the U.S.A." by Chuck Berry.[2] | 1968 | Pop |
| "Yes We Can" | will.i.am | A pro-Obama propaganda song. | 2008 | Hip hop |
| "Born This Way" | Lady Gaga | A song promoting the fallacy that homosexuality is a legitimate lifestyle into which people are born. | 2011 | Pop |
| "OK2BGAY" | Tomboy | Another homosexuality promoting song. | N/A | Pop |
| "Bad Religion" | Frank Ocean | A song about homosexual emotional dependency. | 2012 | R&B |
| "War" | Edwin Starr | A song promoting pacifism and denouncing all wars, including just wars. | 1970 | Funk |
| "If I Had A Rocket Launcher" | Bruce Cockburn | A song which denounces regulated borders and the military in general | 1984 | Pop Rock |
