An Open Letter To The Hollywood Bunch..by Charlie Daniels

[fight_truth_decay]

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

but all musicians, regardless of their views, need to sit down and shut up

that's exactly what they want them to do, thank God they aren't listening!!!!!!

First, you violate forum rules by bringing something from another thread into this one. Secondly, it would be absurd for me to site here and argue about Vietnam with you.

[Snowy]

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?

I think it would be cool if someone sued Sean Penn if one of our service people died in the line of duty.

[FreeTally]

that's exactly what they want them to do, thank God they aren't listening!!!!!!

Im sorry, I do not get your reply. Who is "they". You are a little vauge.

[onedoug]

I'm not talking about Vietnam. And if you don't like yourself, report me.

[MissBaby]

Is really a Charlie Daniels site?

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

Please share some of your concerns.

[FreeTally]

I'm not talking about Vietnam.

Um, the comment you posted was about the claim, and from the thread where the claim was made, that Michael Savage ran instead of going to Vietnam.

And if you don't like yourself, report me.

Uh, this makes absolutely no sense.

[RightOnline]

"Disregarding some of the looney Hollywood left and the half-brained "protesters", many people have legitimate concerns about this "war" and oppose it for legitimate, rational and logical reasons."

Name three.

You might want to take the time and read Congressman Billybob as he referenced in his Post #8 Latest column, not yet up on UPI, and FR, "Truth, the First Casualty?" by Congressman Billybob.

[Quilla]

...I can tell you first hand that it would give us the utmost pleasure to put the boot upside the head of some of these spoiled Commie Hollywood traitors.

That's what I like about the South! Daniels is right. I'm in lower Alabama (you're waycross Georgia) and patriotism abounds in my neck of the woods.

Here are some links where concerns are listed. I do not have time to repost such things or argue about this.

'Figures.

[Snowy]

All of those 'concerns' were thoroughly shot down in that same post. Saves some time, doesn't it?

This ain't no rag it's a flag
and we don't wear it on our heads
It's a symbol of the land
where the good guys live
are you listening to what I said
You're a coward and a fool
and you broke all the rules
and you wounded our American pride
Now we're coming with a gun
and we know you're gonna run
but you can't find no place to hide

We're gonna hunt you down
like a mad dog hound
and make you pay for the lives you stole
We're all through talking and messing around
and now it's time to rock and roll

These colors don't run
and we're speaking as one
when we say united we stand
If you mess with one you mess with us all
every boy, girl, woman and man

You've been acting mighty rash
and talking that trash
but let me give you some advice
You can crawl back in your hole
like a dirty little mole
but now it's time to pay the price

You might have shot us in the back
but now you have to face the fact
that the big boy's in the game
The lightning's been flashing
and the thunder's been crashing
and now it's gettin ready to rain

Chorus:
This is the United States of America
the land of the brave and free
We believe in God, we believe in justice,
we believe in liberty

You've been pulling our chain,
we shoulda done something about you
a long time ago
But now the flag's flying high
and the fur's gonna fly
and now the whole world's gonna know

This ain't no rag it's a flag
old glory red white and blue
The stars and stripes
and when it comes to a fight
we can do what we have to do

Our people stand proud
the American crowd
is faithful and loyal and tough
We're as good as the best
and better than the rest
you're gonna find out soon enough

When you look up in the sky
and you see the eagle fly
you'd better know he's headed your way
This ain't no rag it's a flag
and it stands for the USA

USA! USA! USA! USA!
(child's voice reciting the Pledge of Allegiance)

God Bless America

This man will not have to buy his beer or dinner if I'm in the place.

Now I've got to go out and buy his Greatest Hits again, and figure out who to give it to for a present (and who doesn't already have it).

"I do not have time to repost such things or argue about this."

would be great to hear it in your own words..you took the time to respond as you did, but don't have the time to respond to why you said what you did. I don't have time to chase down links. ;)

Just curious,
