Gotta love Charlie
Guns and Church
Since I identify with the people who fall into Barrack Obama's elitist description about of people of faith who keep firearms I'm not very happy with Barrack Obama's recent remarks.
He said something to the effect that us rednecks cling to our guns and our religion when we get frustrated and I would like to take umbrage to these remarks. My faith goes much deeper than his superficial explanation and I love my guns even when I'm not frustrated.
And I am not by myself. I was going to church and shooting guns before Mr. Obama was even born and come from a long line of good people who have been doing it for generations.
To me this latest Obama blunder only helps reveal the depth of condescension the far left wing of the Democrat party has for the folks out here in flyover country.
Mr. Obama's remarks are insulting to a lot of folks. It's kind of like Abraham Lincoln said, "God must love the common people because he made so many of them".
His remarks make me think that Obama doesn't know the people of this country very well. I'm sure he knows the jet set and the Hollywood bunch, the limousine liberals and the save the whales, kill the babies crowd, but does he think that the ordinary people don't count? Does he think that they're so stupid that they don't know who he's talking about when he says these things? Does he think their opinions aren't important? Apparently.
How can a man stand in front of America and tell people what he wants to do for them and have so little respect for a whole segment of the population. In fact, a very large segment. Does that mean that he would only represent the high-minded liberal ideals of the far left and ignore the rest of us?
What kind of Commander and Chief would he make if he doesn't respect the very people who make up the lion's share of the armed forces.
You may say I'm over reacting, but I'm getting sick and tired of him making these elitist statements and saying that he had been taken out of context or some other flimsy excuse.
After his wife's remark about not being proud of this country and his pastor's statements calling America the U.S.K.K.K.A. and his own statement about not wanting his daughter punished with a baby, it makes me wonder what kind of a man Obama really is and what kind of a president he'd make.
Would he be an antigun advocate pushing the effort to take the firearms out of innocent citizen's hands? Would he not respect the religious beliefs of America, not taking them into account in his agenda?
I really don't know much about the man and neither does America. He basically came from out of nowhere and as the facts come out little by little, they don't make a particularly confident picture.
I have a great fear that if our military gets broken by another president, this time we're not going to have time to fix it again and what that spells for America, I don't even want to contemplate.
Oh well, I guess I'll grab my gun and go to church.
Pray for our troops
What do you think?
God Bless America

It's odd to hear a politician who has attended a church for 2 decades, donates more than $20,000 annually and takes his young daughters to hear sermons about how the US gov't invented AIDS to kill blacks, Israel is a dirty word and crack is a white man's conspiracy to round up blacks than lecture us about how small town folk cling to religion to deal with the material furstrations of their lives.
BTW - What's with the constant Charlie Daniels posts. Certainly he is free to write and you are free to post but is there something special about Mr Daniels' writing style that you appreciate (I'm a Coulter fan myself) or do you feel like you could not present the same argument as well-worded yourself because as an entertainer I see no reason to give more weight to Mr Daniels that we would not be willing to give ourselves. Yes, he is a patriot and yes I do agree with him far more than disagree (in fact I can recall no disagreements) but he is just another celebrity and I se no reason to give his opinion more currency than that of Sean Penn, Tom Robbins, Alec Bladwin, Susan Saradon or Britney Spears for that matter.

I like the way he says what he says. I wouldn't have a problem with every one of his editorials posted on here, plus Ann <3 Coulter too!

I'll try to get them all on here from now on.

I like his style, and just a fan. I like the no nonsense, not trying to be funny approach he takes to expressing his point. He rakes politicians in general over the coals, he is conservative, but not to the point of turning a blind eye to the republicans who do nothing. He knows his opinion is not worth more than anyone elses, and just says his opinion. He doesn't tell others how to think and backs up his words with action. I don't know of anyone else who has visited the troops and done more t benefit them than Charlie. I make it a point to read all of his and Ann's opion pieces. I post hers frequently, too. I enjoy them and thought someone else might find them entertaining, too. He is an entertainer, you know. :cheersmate:

H5 and thanks from me too - personally, it's refreshing to hear a celebrity NOT parrotting the Hollywierd tripe.

Charlie Daniels is a real American and how dare you lump him in with Sean Penn, Tom Robbins, Alec Bladwin, Susan Saradon or Britney Spears .That sure gives me for one a measure of where your loyaltys are for America !
