What pisses me off is people who can't make the distinction

Funny, what pisses me off is when someone with a little talent gets celebrity status and then thinks that gives them a right to attack anything and anyone who doesn't fit into their liberal ideology.

If they can't keep their celebrity status as an entertainer seperate from their politics, I'm not going to support them and see my hard earned money funneled into the campaign coffers of people like the Klintons.

Personally, I like Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams Sr., Charlie Robison and a few others. You should hear my fiancee gripe. We moved to Arkansas from Texas when I was transferred, and they NEVER play Charlie Robison on the radio here.

Charlie Robison, huh? He's a lib, you know. And you must be disgusted by his glorification of drug use. From "My Hometown" (which Charlie said is his favorite of his own songs):

Well, we worked eighty hours makin' time and a half, but La Grange was too damn hot/We drove back home at the end of the week, and we spent it all on pot.

How can you spend your money on a guy who glorifies pot-smoking? Ever heard the song (from the album "Step Right Up") called "The Preacher"? Very anti-Christian.

In "Loving County", Charlie sings about a guy (using the first person point of view) murdering a woman to steal her diamond ring, to get a girl to marry him. Glorifying murder, there.

Are you starting to get my point?

Know who one of Charlie's songwriting idols is? Mister Steve Earle. Listen to "John O'Reilly" on "Step Right Up." It's a carbon copy of Steve's "Dixieland," right down to the Irish character and use of a tin whistle.
