An Open Letter To The Hollywood Bunch from Charlie Daniels

I hate to tell ya, but you pretty much have to be born to it, or transplanted before puberty

Not so, FM! With a determined enough effort, associating with the "right" people and sticking to it for years, you can convert. Sorta like a naturization process without .gov involvement.

Hello. Mr. Daniels not only has a realistic view of the US/Iraq situation, but he's a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
A couple of years ago, he was a most-ardent guest speaker at a Texas State Rifle Association annual meeting.

I like him and his music.

Best.

A redneck is kinda like an American. Redneck is a state of mind just like being an American. I've dealt with Rednecks from Hawthorne, NJ as well as Washington, NC. They all tend to be independent minded and not really concerned with what other people think. I've met redneck preachers and attorneys. I know redneck military officers and salesmen.

Look well past the appearance issues. Redneck is a state of mind; just like being an American is a state of mind.

Hey, does that mean only rednecks are Americans?

I'm confused. Barbra Streisand voices an anti-war opinion, and everyone derides her as an idiot entertainer and her ideas are not as valuable as people who actually study foreign policy.

I think you know where I'm going with this...

uh Meg, I think maybe we weren't too clear

y'see we're supporting somebody we agree with who is taking a stand in spite of the fact that the record company he has contracts with (among others) has left wing twits in control who probably agree with bawbwa stweisand...y'know?

and anyway he's right and he would still make a great ambassador to the UN.

I may not have been too clear, either.

I am saying most people on this board seem to like Charlie Daniels, and agree with Charlie Daniels, and thus think it's great that he is "standing up" and voicing his "conservative" opinion...all despite that fact that he is a country music singer/artist.

By the unwritten rules set down for "liberal trash" Hollywood entertainers, he shouldn't be voicing an opinion on Iraq, should he?

Does he support the RKBA? Good for him. Is Ms. Streisand an idiot? More than likely. Would I listen to either of them if I were in charge of American foreign policy? I don't think so. I guess I am proposing "goose and gander" rules of engagement here. If lefty actors/musicians have to shut their pieholes about Iraq, then "righty" actors/musicians have to zip it as well. Sound fair?

BTW, I would probably make an exception for former senator Fred Thompson, since well, he was a Senator and legal counsellor long before he was an actor.

So, what do y'all think?

PS I count myself as partially agro, since I grew up in Oklahoma and say "y'all" and can drive tractors and combines. even if I am from the 'burbs.
