Of course, this woman thought that “Sweet Home Alabama” could just be turned off. After all, we can block out things we disagree with. We can unfriend people on Facebook, block them on Twitter, and decide not to let their negativity be a part of lives. For many progressives, this is the key to wellness.

They didn't turn off the Tea Party for 7 yrs, they made fun of it, made fun of us or worse, tried to stop it ( including McConnell, etc etc etc ) and now they have essentially a Tea Party POTUS. It is their new reality, they must embrace that suck like we did Obama.

If it bothers them that bad, they should call their Financial Advisers and divest of any industries that will do well under Donaldus Maximus...

I particularly like this 1976 live version.

The original Lynyrd Skynyrd live at Knebworth Festival, August 21st, 1976.

Irrespectively of what some pretentious lefty douche might be thinking, no one really needs to hear that song played for the 328,999th time.

Good post!

I was thinking the same. Trump is not just from New York, he’s the greater than life soul of the city, and the progressives are the vermin eating away at it.

And I say this as a person in the “Heart of Dixie”, otherwise known as Sweet Home Alabama.

Yep, the Duke boys with a confederate flag on their car beat Boss Hogg.

That was probably the year I saw them from right in front of the stage at Freedom Hall in Louisville. Awesome show. Standing just in front of the wall back in the days of “festival seating,” dealing with the crowd push the whole time.

It's the Christmas season now, so they ought to play the dogs barking "Jingle Bells"!

I saw a cartoon here yesterday:

Person A is standing on the American flag.
Person B says, "Why are you standing on the American flag?"
Person A says, "This is free speech. You can't stop me. I can voice my opinion."
Person B brings out the Confederate battle flag ands says, "Okay."
Person A becomes irate and shouts: "I'm offended!!"

For me, this sums up the delicate nature of Progressives. They live in a very special, fragile world.

A microcosm of the election. Fun to read.

Give this a try at least for the guitar work

It says a great deal about these Brooklynites that a song in the backround rattled them so. They have no idea that they ARE the evil that they claim to hate.

LOL! Someone should have tossed in some Charlie Daniels too just for good measure. We saw Lynyrd Skynrd a couple months ago here in Reno. Pratically everybody stood up for the entire show. Me included, bad back and all. Reno, deep south? NOT. Sadly, in Washoe county DJT was shy around 2,500 votes to win the county. Regardless, the unions in vegas still would have put hildabeast over the top statewide by around 10,000 votes so it was actually pretty close in NV. Too bad these assclowns shopping at an ‘upscale’ version of “hole foods” were offended. Good! Here’s a safety pin for ya.

Just like a hillbilly band rocketing to the top of the national charts

The writer thinks he gets it, but can't resist this parting shot: No one today would publicly refer to a "nigger", as they shouldn't, but the terms "hicks", "rednecks", and "hillbillies" are still very fashionable in Brooklyn.

Yeah, they're also quite popular with us "hicks", "rednecks", and "hillbillies".
