Now some left-wingers, with an agenda, are running country music. The right-wingers must conform to the left-wing
ideology, or they will not be welcome at the table.

“...being sung in the same pitch and tenor by a crowd of weeping girly-boys...”

Apt description, and the same with pop music. Today, if you add a whine to that girly-boy pitch and tenor, you will have a hit record with all genres.

Got dragged to an evening at Grand Ole Opry. Hyperamplified screeching for three full hours and hoping afterward that North Korea never discovers this exquisite means of torture.

Roy Clark has already apologized for his `effeminate poet’ bit in Hee Haw, I am certain. Looks like the Dixie Chicks lost the battle but won the war.

When in Tennessee, I listen only to bluegrass gospel now. Fiddle, banjos, and praising the Lord in words I can understand.

Exactly. Pretty much every single org that didn’t originally start out as a left-wing org and which “drift left” has had this done to it.

It’s not accidental. It’s a purposeful strategy that the Left uses.

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

Liberals have been infiltrating Country music for quite some time now. It’s being turned into garbage just as everything else that Liberals contact.

What’s wrong, you ask? What’s wrong is that the overwhelming majority of the American people either agree with Leftist positions or do what Huckabee did. He walked away rather than stay and fight, and no one stood to fight along side of him. The American people have been ceding ground to the Left for over 100 years. We are now at a point where going back is pretty much impossible.

There was always rot under the foundation. The last scene of the song of Ronnee Blakely’s in NASHVILLE really captures it, with her corn pone persona on a stage with a rogue’s gallery of industry folk and an assassin in the crowd wanting to destroy it all.

Jason Owen is a bigot. Homosexuals are intolerant bullies who insist that everyone must approve of their life style, while they harass those with whom they disagree.

The issue isn’t whether you like country music or not, it’s the deliberate infiltration of every facet of our society. To change it from within.

You are far too polite ... I still use the original term.

If you want to be able to hear a pin drop on a shag carpet, just casually include the word ‘queer’ at the Thanksgiving gathering.
