Charlie Daniels is a solid conservative Christian and an embodiment of what it means to be a patriot. PBS is full of communists.

There has never been a time when it was ok to support PBS.

I'm not sure but I think he came over to our side during the '79-80 Iran Hostage crisis.

Isn't PBS's Fourth of July show the one hosted by Ossie Davis....one of the signers of the "Not in Our Name" petition?
To: Conservative Chicagoan
ANOTHER reason NOT to watch PBS.....as if we needed anymore.
To: Conservative Chicagoan
Isn't this the July 4th program, where Johnny Cash read "That Ragged Old Flag"? Not exactly upbeat--

Good for him. What leftists have come over to the right after September 11? The only one I can think of is Neil Young but there are probably others.
