Didn’t read it all.... I think I will later. My comment is. Main stream media kept a body count of dead American soldiers during Bush’s time. Then stopped when Obama took office.
The hippie pothead anti American philosophy sits at home as today’s government.
Pretty much sums up the failed nation state.
The transformation of the country from a nation to an empire was officially complete when it became the political and cultural norm for its voters to elect draft-dodgers who are hell-bent on sending other people to war.
I was unaware of this recent article when I quoted and linked the song yesterday morning.
There will be many who will suddenly wish that they had found a little something nice to say about America.
Quote:
"Let this song that I'm singing be a warning."
It wasn’t the draft that worried the hippies. It was going to war and getting shot at. The draft was part of being an American male. It came with the territory. They were cowards.
“The hippie pothead...”
and yet... Willie Nelson gets a pass.
Maybe they were cowards, but history sure has vindicated them.
Vindicated? Not hardly.
Hippies were harmless losers who were only interested in having a good time but the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice - the visible arm of the Communist Party and the New Mobe - the visible arm of the Socialist Worker's Party - ran all of the planning, direction, funding of the Anti- Vietnam War movement. They had a continuous commuter service to Hanoi to receive direction and to bring back materials to support their propaganda.
Their lineal descendants are the ones running our country into the ground right now.
I am as far away from the “country livin’” as anyone can be, but I must say:
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!
Replace hippie with liberal and it works today.
Was Willie a part of the government , setting policy?
He was a talented musician pothead tax avoiding entertainer.
If that ain’t vindication, then I don’t know what is.
“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!”
Me, too. One of DirecTV’s Music Choice channels is classic country. It’s the best.
Thanks for that info!
Yes. The Vietnam war was based on lies and internal politics. A terribly sad blot on our history.
“ Haggard told Marc Eliot in 2022’s The Hag: ”
Very interesting considering Merle Haggard died in 2016.
The biggest con job the Left managed, was to somehow turn Vietnam from LBJ’s War into Nixon’s War. LBJ barely gets any mention now for his role in Vietnam.
