I was kind of hoping there was a Frule for LeeAnn like there is for Ann Coulter...

Semper Fi,

If I can keep my eyes from getting misty, I think I'm going to by her CD and make sure my family goes to her next concert.

Dang it, I'm proud of her.

Paid for by eliminating BATF, Dept of Ed., Homeland Security, TSA, HUD and about 30 other agencies.

If you do that, then whose going to set Christian children on fire,

show our kids how to put condoms on bananas and the joy of homosexual sex

, p#ss away millions of dollars on Homeland Security Grants in order to pad payrolls and contractors,

frisk the notorious old women, men and children who have hijacked planes in the past

, and created urban nirvanas like Cabreni-Green projects....

plus paying artist to put crucifixes in jars of urine....?

Rimes’ tour as emcee for Nashville Star was sweet. She’s a class act.

Wow!

What a terrific gal!
This article gave me chill bumps, and made my screen blurry.

She’s 24 years old...seems like she’s been around forever.
She’s more mature, and cares about our great country, more than most in DC.

Thank you for the post and ping!
I love reading articles such as this.

BTW, she was born in Jackson, MS.

She’s one of “my tribe”, as wardaddy says. ;o)

She is an awful singer and her music sucks. How anyone can confuse that crap with country is amazing. I don’t know how any good Christian can listen to songs about sex and booze. That solider gave his limbs in battle and it is a damn shame the only help he can get is from someone looking only for publicity. Just sickens me that so many Freepers fell for it.

Bro, from where I'm sitting, I think she's done more honest goodwill than most of the entertainment industry combined. How that earns nothing but a sneer from you I don't see. I mean, if you want to pony up and buy two vans, I'll root for you.

Now, Michael Moore with his disgusting manipulation of facts, feigning to get help for 9/11 survivors by taking them to Cuba, yeah, that's pure condesension and shameless demagoguery for the cause of him to line his wallet. Feel free to spew on him, I'd say.

But as for Ms. Rimes, even if you hate her music, it's pretty hard to deny she's doing a good deed here. Is she using it as a photo op to blather on about Evil George W. Bush and the Quagmire In Iraq? Nope. She's just lending a hand. I wish all the folks out there who share the spotlight would dare to do the same.

You, afraid, are out of your mind. Are you off your meds?

This was very touching. I wish we had more like Lee Ann.
