Here’s the lyric

Every time I go to town and vote
I just come home with the blues
The lesser of two evils
All we ever get to choose

[Jane Long]

🙃

That makes more sense.....than what you’d posted.....and, what I took as HIS lyrics.

;-)

[Rebelbase]

A different sentiment from Toby Keith nearly 20 years ago with “We’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American Way”.

Opinions... Well, you know what they’re like? Dontcha?

[HonkyTonkMan]

Toby Keith is the Bruce Springsteen of country music. Both trade on the “blue collar” working man schtick.

[cport]

The profane version makes him sounds like a angry hostile fool.

No, it makes him sound like the rest of us, St. Responsibility2nd.

[Responsibility2nd]

The rest of us? Well why don’t you go right ahead and drop a few F bombs right here at Free Republic?

Oh that’s right. It would be irresponsible and unconservative and Jim Rob what delete your comments.

[Mathews]

I liked that!

[cport]

Apples and oranges. Most, if not all, conservatives have a sense of decorum and can think critically, understanding that there are certain forums and venues that require a more refined social response, and some that can for a more colloquial response. It's called "knowing your audience". Otherwise, you appear either ignorant or superior, depending on the situation.

In this particular situation, you calling out an entertainer for profanity at his concert qualifies you as ignorant.

[Responsibility2nd]

Otherwise, you appear either ignorant or superior, depending on the situation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How about appearing moral and conservative?

Is it so wrong to call out hatred, vulgarity, obscenity and etc. when it pops up?

[cport]

That is a good point, we are called to be discerning. However, we do have enough people on the left hammering on the limited conservative artistic expression out there that I think we can temper our criticism without compromising one's personal values.

Peace

I thought he was a big lib.

[Kaslin]

You do believe, but you do not know, correct? So why do you speculate. Or were you standing behind him in the voting boot when he voted and looked over his shoulder?

Just because the majority of the Hollywood weirdoes are lefties doesn’t mean the country Music stars are.

[Kaslin]

This is what I found: In 2008, Toby was interested in both Barack Obama and John McCain, but he eventually announced that he had left the Democratic Party and reregistered as an independent. "My party that I've been affiliated with all these years doesn't stand for anything that I stand for anymore," he said. "They've lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in. So I'm going independent."

Does Toby Keith support Donald Trump?

---

Although many artists have come out in opposition to Trump, Toby was one of the few musicians who was willing to perform at his inauguration in 2017. After he performed, Toby said he got a number of messages from fellow artists who were jealous that Toby had performed and they hadn't. “I’m not naming names, but there’s a bunch of people that . . . were committed, and they backed out due to pressure,” Toby said. Toby said that it had never occurred to him to consider canceling on Trump and pointed out that he had performed at events for both George Bush and Barack Obama. For Toby, the event was more about honoring America than any particular president. It was also a move that he believed would go over well with his fans.
