SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- A member of the conservative group RightMarch.com has recorded a new country song responding to the leftist attacks against President George W. Bush and America coming from country music artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Willie Nelson as well as liberal Hollywood actors.
"Country music fans -- like so many of us -- are proud Americans, and don't take kindly to people taking unfair potshots at our Commander-In-Chief when our country is at war," RightMarch.com said in an e-mail to supporters on Monday. "That goes for anyone, from country 'stars' to Hollywood 'stars' -- it's a free country, and you're free to speak your mind, but that doesn't mean Americans have to listen to that drivel."
The group points to country music legend Willie Nelson's latest "protest song" against Operation Iraqi Freedom and Bush as an example of the ongoing attacks from the left.
Talon News previously reported that Nelson is supporting radical leftist candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) in his bid for the Democrat presidential nomination.
The lyrics to Nelson's song entitled "What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth?" ask "how much oil is one human life worth?" and "how much is a liar's word worth?"
"Enough is enough," RightMarch.com proclaims in the e-mail. "Willie's obviously been hangin' around with his Hollywood crowd too much lately -- but we've got a way to help bring back the TRUTH, and we're gonna use country music to do it, y'all."
RightMarch.com revealed in the e-mail that one of its members named Aaron Sain has a band named The Right Brothers and has written and recorded a song rebuking liberal actors called "Hey Hollywood."
This single is not available in stores, but can be downloaded for free in various formats.
"This is a fun way to fight back against the lies of the radical left, while also arming ourselves with the truth," RightMarch.com contends in the e-mail.
RightMarch.com says they hope to "fight back against the lies of the loony left coming from Hollywood, the liberal media and groups like MoveOn.org."
The lyrics to "Hey Hollywood" are as follows:
"Hey Hollywood" by The Right Brothers
Well I heard some movie stars talking on TV
Said they were being a voice for you and me
Saying things like "no blood for oil" and "not in our name"
And just like the roar of an F-16, I heard this country say
Hey Hollywood, we hear your message and it don't sound good
Your just running this country down with our troops overseas
Hey Hollywood, take a look around if you would
And if you don't love this land you're free to leave.
Now don't get me wrong I know you got a right
To say what you want and never apologize
You can protest all day and shout what you believe
But the rest of America has the right to kindly disagree
Hey Hollywood, we hear your message and it don't sound good
Your just running this country down with our troops overseas
Hey Hollywood, take a look around if you would
And if you don't love this land you're free to leave.
I'll even help you pack your bags if you want, if you wanna leave.
Hey Hollywood, stop running this country down.
Hey Hollywood.
Talon News reported last summer on Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines telling a London concert audience, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

Thanks
Willie Nelson chickened out before this song was released. He was afraid of the same backlash the Dixie Sluts got after Natalie's comment about President Bush.
Not to worry Willie, I won't be buying your music anyway. After sending booze to the Chicken D's when they hid in Oklahoma and just writing this song, I won't spend another cent on your garbage.
I seem to remember some of that crowd saying rhey were gonna leave if Bush won. Too bad they didin't keep their word.
Jet Engines, the Sound of Freedom!
