An Open Letter To The Hollywood Bunch..by Charlie Daniels
CharlieDaniels.com ^ | February 24, 2003 | Charlie Daniels

Ok let’s just say for a moment you bunch of pampered, overpaid, unrealistic children had your way and the U.S.A. didn’t go into Iraq.

Let’s say that you really get your way and we destroy all our nuclear weapons and stick daisies in our gun barrels and sit around with some white wine and cheese and pat ourselves on the back, so proud of what we’ve done for world peace.

Let’s say that we cut the military budget to just enough to keep the National Guard on hand to help out with floods and fires.

Let’s say that we close down our military bases all over the world and bring the troops home, increase our foreign aid and drop all the trade sanctions against everybody.

I suppose that in your fantasy world this would create a utopian world where everybody would live in peace. After all, the great monster, the United States of America, the cause of all the world’s trouble would have disbanded it’s horrible military and certainly all the other countries of the world would follow suit.

After all, they only arm themselves to defend their countries from the mean old U.S.A.

Why you bunch of pitiful, hypocritical, idiotic, spoiled mugwumps. get your head out of the sand and smell the Trade Towers burning. Do you think that a trip to Iraq by Sean Penn did anything but encourage a wanton murderer to think that the people of the U.S.A. didn’t have the nerve or the guts to fight him?

Barbra Streisand’s fanatical and hateful rankings about George Bush makes about as much sense as Michael Jackson hanging a baby over a railing.

You people need to get out of Hollywood once in a while and get out into the real world. You’d be surprised at the hostility you would find out here. Stop in at a truck stop and tell an overworked, long distance truck driver that you don’t think Saddam Hussein is doing anything wrong.

Tell a farmer with a couple of sons in the military that you think the United States has no right to defend itself.

Go down to Baxley, Georgia and hold an anti-war rally and see what the folks down there think about you.

You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of protoplasm I’ve ever had the displeasure to hear about.

Sean Penn, you’re a traitor to the United States of America. You gave aid and comfort to the enemy. How many American lives will your little, ”fact finding trip“ to Iraq cost? You encouraged Saddam to think that we didn’t have the stomach for war.

You people protect one of the most evil men on the face of this earth and won’t lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby. Freedom of choice you say?

Well I’m going to exercise some freedom of choice of my own. If I see any of your names on a marquee, I’m going to boycott the movie. I will completely stop going to movies if I have to. In most cases it certainly wouldn’t be much of a loss.

You scoff at our military who’s boots you’re not even worthy to shine. They go to battle and risk their lives so ingrates like you can live in luxury. The day of reckoning is coming when you will be faced with the undeniable truth that the war against Saddam Hussein is the war on terrorism.

America is in imminent danger. You’re either for her or against her. There is no middle ground.

I think we all know where you stand.

What do you think?

God Bless America

Charlie Daniels

What these hollywood left un-American yo yo's fail to realize is that late baby boomers like me are old enough to remember what they did in the 60's.......

Excellent observation. I remember, too.

And there are five more Americans like you at my house!

God bless you, Charlie Daniels, and all the Baxley Georgias and the American citizens who get a knot in their throat when the firefighters hoisting the American flag over the remains of the Trade Towers is shown.

Charlie, you're damn straight right! The hollywood traitors have proven whom they care about ... and it ain't this nation or the people who plant the ground, pump the gas, or man the battlements. The hollywood appeasenik fools ain't worth the price of admission anywhere around my town. I'm with ya, Charlie. Not another damn cent for the support of the anti-American, condescending, hollywood freaks. NADA!

"Thank you for a polite, well reasoned response."

You're welcome.

Tonight I hosted a 'debate' (for lack of a better term) that gave a local 'peace' group and a few members of the Libertarian Party a chance to outline their opposition and to defend it against some tough questioning.

The 'peacenik' was from Saudi Arabia. His points were mostly Bush bashing and anti-America. Loaded with moral equivalency and outright lies, he did not win any converts. However, more than a few were intrigued by the LP position. Not swayed or convinced, but at least intrigued. Their opposition was based on the perceived failure of Congress to obey the Constitution and declare war. Both sides were lacking in alternatives to dealing with Iraq.

No minds were changed tonight, but my intent was to expose the 'peace' guy's anti-America agenda, (which he accomplished very well on his own with not much help from me) and let everyone hear a new perspective.

".... many people have legitimate concerns about this "war" and oppose it for legitimate, rational and logical reasons."

I would be interested in hearing what you think are "legitimate, rational and logical reasons" to be against disarming Saddam's Iraq..

Semper Fi

Great to hear that about the debate. More of us should take the intiative to do such things.

Both sides were lacking in alternatives to dealing with Iraq.

Yes, I too do not know the answer to the question as to what to do about Iraq if there is no war. Maybe those "for the war" and those "against the war" could sit around and throw out some ideas. Obviously, persons like the anti-American Saudi you spoke of will bring little legitimate discourse to the debate. I think as long as "both sides" can agree that Iraq is a definite problem, then a solution other than war may be worked out. Then again, maybe such a solution couldn't be found.

My group got started 4 years ago and we meet monthly to discuss Constitutional issues and other relevent current events. It's hard work, but fun and rewarding too.

Identifying a problem is always a lot easier than finding the right solution, but I believe that the anti-America left will do anything to derail this country and GWB because they truly hate this country. If truth be told, short of war to remove Saddam, I don't know of any other thing that could work. Sanctions didn't. UN resolutions didn't. Talking sure didn't. Either we ignore him (at all of our peril) or we take the risk and burden of removing a dangerous despot because we are the only ones that can.

I am only a recent convert to this action myself. I wasn't opposed to war, I just was sure that I was for it. But when I see all the leftist, hate America, Bush bashing (and I've done my share of that myself) scumbag socialists and communists oppose the war, I just *had* to be for it.
