It is high time Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw were taken to task for their support of Barrack Husein Obama. I first must admit that I have been a fan of Brad and Tim for a long time. I love the way they put to tune and words of how it is to be a man is in the world. After all, how can you not enjoy listening to the way Brad strings together the words in his song titled, “I'm Still A guy”, or how he seems to lay his heart out in the tune titled, “I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishing Song)”? Then there are the songs by Tim McGraw that just makes me want to hold my wife closely as I sing along with him the words I could never think of on my own.
From the first time I heard Brad Paisley sing the song, “Who needs Pictures” in early 1999, I was a fan of his. And what man can honestly say he did not choke up a bit when he listened to the way Tim sang the beautiful ballad, “Don't Take The Girl'? These are the kinds of songs that have been missing in the American music industry. Songs that speak to our hearts, because we feel exactly like they sing them to us on the radio. For too long the American culture has gone down the trail of anger and hate in the music that has been presented to us. So Country Music has for many become what the music was in the “70”s, beautiful and relevant to our lives and hearts.
Yes, I have been a big fan of both Brad Paisley, and Tim McGraw. I even used their songs to try and convince my brother-in-law that he should give up Rock Music for Country. Well, he still listens to Rock, but he is not so critical of Country as he used to be. Well, their songs kept coming and I kept listening and buying them. Even when I found out that they were supporters of Barrack Obama during the Presidential campaign, I still liked them. I may have been a bit shocked by their support for him, but I still listened to their music and refused to turn them off when they came on the radio. I guess it was like trying to turn off the radio when I heard Willy Nelson sing his classic song, “On The Road Again”. Oh I knew he was a Jimmy Carter supporter, but times were different, and I wasn't really worried about my personal freedom back then.
Times have changed though, and I see things differently than I did in the past. Now, when I hear a politician speak about things I care about, I begin to weigh the balances, and they do not seem to balance like they used to. Now when I listen to politicians, and I begin to ask the question, “What part of the constitution do they not understand'? Which brings me to Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, and their devotion to Obama and his agenda. (follow the link to continue reading OV's opinion piece),
Tim McGraw & Brad Paisley, Are Officially Off My Christmas List.
Please people stop reading these left wing stories and spitting them back out on a post. If I asked 100 Republican’s and they had three choices
1. Completely against President Obama’s policies and will voice it.
2. Completely against his policies and won’t voice it but won’t support it either.
3. Against his election don’t support it but will not voice against it publically and will work him wear we can.
Garth would be with John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Colin Powell and himself. In other words to support Obama means to take a liberal ideal approve it water it down slightly then call it bipartisan? Is that the new Republicanism? If so I guess we really are people without a party.
Smartest line I ever heard from a liberal Michael Jordan, “Republicans buy tennis shoes too” See he got it. Sure everyone knew he was liberal but he didn’t need to be told don’t crap in their rose bushes. The Dixie Chicks figuring they were in England could say as they choose to say. Even when the logic was presented to them they still decided to flip the bird to Bush and the right, their audience. I give them their principle and sticking to it but they lost it all. Sure there have been tons of Liberal Country Music stars, Johnny Cash is one. Willie another hell we all knew Willie loved the herb. They used their brains and approached it differently, sure he did concerts for Jimmy the worst President in US History, um err sorry the second worst President behind Dumbo the socialist. But he kept to Farm Aid and causes.
Don’t really care about his life story. There is absolutely no excuse for supporting abortion.
I agree with you. Freak mentioned that he is a conservative and I’d like to correct you a moment on that. He’s not a republican he’s independent. Which most are conservative without saying they are. He believes in PRO Choice but loves his money. His words not mine. So he switched from Democrat to Independent. I love Kenny and he is not the same party as me, and I’ll continue buy his music. Along with other celebrities that are republicans that I would not stop watching them for all the politics in the world. The Rock, Craig T. Nelson, Tom Selleck, Sarah Michelle Gellar, James Caan, Tim Allen, My childhood crush Bruce Willis, and these are just a few of the great celebrities that have a great amount talent and I just because they are Republicans I’d stop watching them. All the conservatives say that is’s the Democrats that have divided this country. Thank God all my Republican friends (and I have a lot of them) are not hating on democrats just because they voted for Obama or have different views. Even my most conservative friends can have a difference of opinion and respect the fact there are things we don’t see eye to eye on and we don’t resent or stop being friends.
Hey onevike, you know what they say about marriages the wife normally wins in the end unless of course your a control freak. But you don’t have to like her music, but a very good husband or wife for that matter would respect and buy them what they want unless of course it’s illegal or harmful. This is a little thing and not even cause you don’t like there music, but because you don’t like that they are democrats.
