I say we sacrifice a few effeminate hippy potheads for liberty.

Kumbayuh. My guess is that Charlie Daniels didn't make the short list for the Inaugural taffy pull.

While this is an idiotic statement I remember a LOT here did the SAME thing in support of the Patriot Act. Equally disgusting.

How would he react to “4 down in OHIO?” Should the government be the only ones shooting when the time comes???
Simple question.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
LOL. James was never the brightest bulb, but he did write this:
The government boys they came for Machine Gun
And took the poor boy away
They stuck him in a hole in Leavenworth prison
Where he lived until his dying day

James Taylor isnt jumping up and down and trying to be an activist or anythingBull
This is not the first time he's made political comments. Look, this is America, everyone has a right to their opinion, but don't say he was cornered into giving it as he's done so on numerous occasions.

I admire his recovery from heroin addiction but he hasn’t thought things through. Heroin was illegal but that didn’t prevent him from almost ODing (by his own admission) on multiple occasions. If drug laws don’t prevent addicts from buying drugs, why would gun laws prevent criminals from obtaining them?

I think Republicans should openly, and often, discuss the many benefits of controlling TV and newspapers. I think we should also look at modifying some other amendments have lead to the current chaos.
16th amendment re: income taxes
19th amendment re: women voting
26th amendment re: 18 year olds voting
The 15th amendment might also need some updating to reflect current realities that people that don't contribute to the can effectively vote themselves a paycheck. Although that may be addressed under the 16th.

Agree. At least James sang America The Beautiful at the Inauguration, unlike Beyoncee who pulled a Milli Vanilli on the National Anthem.She did? Coulda fooled me. That didn't sound like an song I am familiar with.

Don’t forget the 17th: direct election of US senators, which has done incalculable damage to state sovereignty

He advocates progressive tyranny. And like so may others of his ilk, he never fancies that he'd be on the downside of it. History says otherwise.

I got in an argument with my mother in law over gun control. She of course mouthed the usual “nobody needs an assault weapon” for self defense. Now usually I bite my tongue with her because after all she’s my wife’s mother but this time I snapped. It went something along the lines of this:
Number one, if you don’t like guns DON’T OWN ONE but don’t take away my second amendment rights. Number two, if four gang bangers approach you some night you’ll be raped and killed. I on the other hand have two bullets per gang member with two to spare. Number three, an assault rifle is a fully automatic rifle. Don’t try and strip me of my rights when you don’t even know what the definition of the thing it is you’re railing against.
She shut up real quick.

Go shoot some more heroin, James.
It's what you're good at.
