The Left has taken over country music like its taken over everything else.

The writing is on the wall.

If country music has been infiltrated by the GSS we are really in some serious trouble.

However, a mob of social justice warriors, led by openly gay...

Stop it! Just stop it!!! Stop saying “gay” when you really mean “homosexual.”

I’ve never been a country fan, but I like some individual songs. “Country” music stars today blend nicely with the leftist sewage in other genres. They are sick degenerates who make us long for the guys in bar fights whose dogs and pick-up trucks were their only friends.

What a shameful choice,” he wrote. “I will not participate in any organization that elevates people like this to positions that amplify their sick voices.”

I guess this POS has never heard of AIDS, syphilis, suicide, broken homes, child porn, child prostitution, NAMBLA, and promiscuity before.

Come meet one of my best friends, pervert, and see what homosexuality did to his family.

Yeah, it’s those Bible-toting believers who’s the problem

Not that I listen to that crap anyways.

Nothing to do with the genre. The music business is run by perverted people. Thank goodness the scales are beginning to fall from normal people’s eyes.

What’s wrong with Broadway? What’s wrong with movies? What’s wrong with pop music?

It’s all awful. We are in a decadent period in culture after a golden age of the mid 20th century.

most c&w songs, being sung in the same pitch and tenor by a crowd of weeping girly-boys, only grate on my nerves.
I don’t remember the last time I listened to a complete ‘wailing song’.

Most of today’s country music is really just very bad southern rock.

Country hasn’t been country since the early ‘90s, at least.

Failed pop and rock stars switch to a country sound and bring sewage with them.

All the country music fans should just stop buying the music.

If you want to see a lightning-quick boycott, this is it!

Doesn’t matter how much they sing about America, Texas, guns or the Bible. If they dont condemn this in their own industry, then send then back to playing in dive bars.

There is plenty of better country music from 40 years ago to listen to.

“Bad rock with a fiddle”, said the late Tom Petty.

It would actually make a good country song:

“Something’s queer in country music
something strange is going on
They’re running off the Christians,
and goin’ for our guns.

A country concert used to be somethin’ to take grandma to
Now they don’t want anything to do with the Christian or the Jew.

Farmers and ranchers and truckers
used to make up the Country Crowd
Now its just a bunch of fairys
drivin’ BMWs rainbow proud.

A country concert used to be somethin’ to take grandma to
Now they don’t want anything to do with the Christian or the Jew.

It ain’t country. It’s pop by jerks in bad hats. Real country ended years ago, yet goes on in great recordings.
