Sweet Home Alabama...the redneck national anthem, should have been my high school fight song. Proud redneck here

Any one watching the Voice last night that is a LIB and a muzzy would have had a cow.

Sundance Head did a Blue Grass rendition of Me and JESUS

Best performance of the night in my book.

Years ago, I used to go down to Huntsville, AL for the
Christmas Craft Show at the Von Braun Civic Center with my
mother. - Then, some Progressive came along and redid the
streets and roads down there which created a boondoggle for
years, a traffic nightmare. It got where you couldn’t get
there from here; so in my sixties, I gave up going to that
town. Still have a soft spot in my heart for Alabama, from
a distance deep in rural Tennessee.

The draft riots in NYC during the Civil War killed plenty of blacks; these NIMBY jack-asses should STFU.

Here in NJ people are liberal about everything except race; many had parents/grandparents that had lived in our cities, and they have no misconceptions about what destroyed them.

You beat me to it.

The eclectic Finnish band, the Leningrad Cowboys, and the Soviet Red Army Band and Choir do a fantastic rendition of Sweet Home Alabama.

Here's another clip of them is full "regalia": Leningrad Cowboys and Red Army Band and Choir Playing Sweet Home Alabama

Since I am a straight, white male from the south, I know they hate me. For 40 years I have watched progressives turn the urban areas into ghetto shooting-galleries while vilifying rural values and traditions. I’ve seen the factories turn to empty parking lots, the jobs go overseas, and the uncontrolled immigration depress wages and make life more dangerous. To hell with the social-engineers, and self-righteous Gruber, Lerner, Clinton elites, urban journalists, et al ... these pretend humanitarians who care so much about everyone but the half of the country they hate and who suffer for their policies.

Lol! It’s almost become an old joke with my wife and me, here in Colorado. We’ll go to a restaurant grill or be in the car - and SHA will play as I mock bash my head. My wife will say “Ooh! Turn it up!!” :)

So I went to the Federalist to read the original article and I went to Google to get the lyrics of Sweet Home Alabama. After doing all that, Ï don’t understand. I just don’t understand the furor. I think it is a beautiful song...almost a lamentation (one of my favorite genres.)

For me, this sums up the delicate nature of Progressives. They live in a very special, fragile world.

Damned progressives...can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em.

My dear late mother used to say, “It would be a dull world if we all liked the same things.”

Okay, I gave it a 1 minute 10 seconds. Not impressed. Sorry.
