Let’s not, Mr. Taylor.

I think Republicans should openly, and often, discuss the many benefits of controlling TV and newspapers. The news is too biased in favor of the Left, and Republicans should simply muse on the possibility of shutting down organs of the press who are insufficiently Conservative.

That would spark some interesting conversations, which should, of course, morph into SECOND Amendment discussion almost immediately. Why don't they care about the Bill Of Rights? Don't they value freedom? Don't the respect the People? Hey, this isn't about the press -- did you think it was? The topic here is guns; so sorry if you misunderstood.

Lets give up automobiles. Public transportation is much safer.

"At some point, it’s easy to feel a little sympathy for Taylor..."

Never. He advocates progressive tyranny. The damage done by these people in their ignorance is irreparable and unforgivable. Those who wield such enormous influence, with an unlimited access to microphones and cameras have an obligation to watch their mouths, or be held accountable.

Here’s an idea, James. Why don’t you sacrifice a little of your 1st Amendment freedoms for the sake of safety? I personally think you should have to have all your lousy songs vetted by a government agency before you can sing them.

James Taylor isn’t jumping up and down and trying to be an “activist” or anything - - he was just cornered into answering some political questions and I thought he tried to be diplomatic about the whole thing. This “interview” is worth about a shrug. I like his music and will continue to like his music.

As far as I am concerned, having Taylor perform is an impeachable offense.

Apparently Sweet Baby James has never advanced beyond that stage. Stick with your nasal, whining songs and leave everything else to the grown-ups, Baby.

I wish James Taylor would sacrifice his right to be an asshat.

GFY, Jimmy T.

I'll keep my children safe by ...

keeping them safe. Standing by to defend them. Effectively. With firearms. By teaching them to defend themselves. Effectively. With firearms.

If it saves even one life, it's worth it.

Right, Jimmy?

Note how the weasel refers to “sacrifices to our freedoms” rather than the much plainer “sacrifices OF our freedoms.”

And how did Baby James, the pampered preppie, deal with the Viet Nam War and the opportunity he had to sacrifice some of his freedom then, for the good of the nation?

Wiki say: “As the Vietnam War built up, Taylor received a psychological rejection from Selective Service System when he appeared before them with two white-suited McLean [Hospital] assistants and was uncommunicative.”

Takes a real special fellow to bring along his own “men in white coats.”

Kumbayuh. My guess is that Charlie Daniels didn't make the short list for the Inaugural taffy pull.

While this is an idiotic statement I remember a LOT here did the SAME thing in support of the Patriot Act. Equally disgusting.

How would he react to “4 down in OHIO?” Should the government be the only ones shooting when the time comes???
Simple question.

LOL. James was never the brightest bulb, but he did write this:

The government boys they came for Machine Gun

And took the poor boy away

They stuck him in a hole in Leavenworth prison

Where he lived until his dying day
