There are some great country songs, or course that dumbass Tim McGraw wrote or performed none of them. Modern country is about on the same level as modern pop/rock. In fact the songs would be indistinguishable except for the fiddle and steel guitars.

You can eat crackers in my bed anytime...baby. - Barbara Mandrell

What I loved was the dig about putting Jesus, America and family values in a song that had nothing to do with any of it to appeal to people that vote for politicians that routinely act against their financial well being. What is up with red necks on welfare voting for republicans?

Very very true down here....

Whats wrong with Republicans????

Nothing is wrong with anything I said nothing bad about anything other than how ironic it is that people vote upon perceptions rather than actual political/governmental ambitions. but, Don't get so upset, I have a problem with everything in Washington right now, the 2 party system is a joke since Regan, they're all about in the middle anyway, I stopped watching cspan and talk radio a few years back, I use to be real into it. Reminder to self, never talk politics, never talk politics,never talk politics......

Hey dude, not upset just nibbling on the bait you cast on the water..........as far as I am concerned I agree that washington is very messed up ...doesn't matter what party...to me a politician is a liar by definition and the only ass they care about is their own..... I am a long haired leaping gnome who happens to want less government, more guns, less taxes, more of the money I make and less people telling me what I can and can't do...so I am either a very conservative liberal or a very liberal conservative.. a redneck in disguise who has been on the bus since '74........I work my ass off , play a lot of music and enjoy what I can when ever possible.....utopia didn't happen in the 60's and I don't think it will happen now....no matter who runs the government..........
why cant we all just get along............sarcasm alert......
take care,
George

You say your life's a bum deal, and you're up against the wall
Well people you ain't even got no kind-a deal at all
Cuz what they do in Washington
They just takes care of number one
And number one ain't you
You ain't even number two

Very Very good advise. You can add religion to things not to talk about as well.

For me, I am a left wing tree hugging liberal, Atheist. My wife is a very very religious right wing republican.

For us, we stay clear of those two topics. Otherwise we would never get along.

Anyway back on subject

Read some of Nobel Prize Economist Milton Friedman's works along with other economists Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. These men do not take political sides, are pro-freedom, and make a whole lot of plain spoken common sense when it comes to enumerating government's role in a free society.

We founded this country to rid ourselves of the tyrrany of the British, now our own government is far too involved in our personal lives. 13 trillion in debt! Gimme a break!

It's all about freedom as long as you do not restrict someone else's freedom.

Did we really need to go down this path? Let's quit while we're behind.

My favorite worst country lyrics: Why don't we get drunk and screw.........back on track......fun little side trip though
