“Democrats to reclaim country music”
The Left can’t stand conservative dominance of any segment of media, society, politics, or pop culture. Apparently, it really bugs them that the majority of country music stars and fans are right-leaning. Now, according to the Telegraph, BDS-infected entertainers are plotting to take back country:
Democrats angered at the image of country and western as Right-wing “redneck music” are planning a tour of Middle America during the 2008 election campaign by Nashville artists opposed to the Iraq war.
An alliance called the Music Row Democrats is poised to re-launch itself early next year in an attempt to seize back country music from the Republican camp and spread their message that President George W. Bush’s party does not care about ordinary people.
Slowly but surely, more country singers are performing songs critical of the Bush administration. Merle Haggard, who once sang the anti-hippie anthem “Okie from Muskogee” for President Richard Nixon at the White House has even penned a tribute to Hillary Clinton.
In his “Hillary”, dedicated to the Democratic front runner, Haggard sings: “This country needs to be honest/ Changes need to be large/ Something like a big switch of gender/ Let’s put a woman in charge.”
Pro-war songs like Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” and “American Solider”, and Darryl Worley’s “Have You Forgotten (About Bin Laden)?” still dominate country music stations.
Go figure!
You choose:
Merle Haggard crooning for Hillary:
Toby Keith, “American Soldier:”
Check out the selection of moonbat country songs from the Music Row Democrats:
“Big Blue Ball of War” –Nanci Griffith
Country-folk star Nanci Griffith has been a passionate anti-war activist throughout her career. She campaigns regularly against landmines and was the first to popularize the international peace anthem “From a Distance.” Her stately and eloquent “Big Blue Ball of War” is a plea that can be found on her 2005 CD Hearts in Mind. The song suggests that if women and mothers were in charge, war would cease to exist. Much of the album was inspired by Nanci’s trip to Southeast Asia and by the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Songs such as the album’s “A Simple Life,” “Heart of Indochine” and “Old Hanoi” are other powerful statements. “Mountain of Sorrow” stems from 9/11. “Before” and “Love Conquers All” also make reference to our troubled times.
“You Let the Fox Run the Henhouse” – Shawn Camp
Shawn Camp is a triple threat on Music Row, as a brilliant instrumentalist, a dynamic songwriter and a dandy vocalist. “You Let the Fox Run the Henhouse” showcases him having some bluegrass-y fun with the Administration. The fox, of course, has “a Bushy tail.” The track was recorded especially for this album.
“Al Gore” – Monkey Bowl
Nashville is well known as the capital of country music, as the headquarters of the Christian-music field, as the home of bluegrass music and as the center of the Americana music movement. But it also has a thriving pop/rock scene. The Music City recording unit Monkey Bowl shot to instant notoriety in 2004 with this delightfully catchy ditty. Songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall does, indeed, live on the same Nashville street as the former Vice President. In the song, he recalls being robbed and cheated and states that he’s still angry about. Popular-vote Presidential winner Al tells him to get over it.
For once, good advice from the Goracle.

You have GOT to be kidding me.
Merle Haggard and Hillary? I would’ve thought that was like white shoes and the day after Labor Day.
Toby seems to be more cautious as of late with his “unabashed patriotism”.
If the shoe doesn’t fit, make it fit…right?
The funny thing about supposedly “conservative” country music is that you don’t hear political messages in the lyrics, you hear values.
To Dems, values are a bad thing.
I must have missed the country song tributes to W.
By the way, I’m with Laura Ingraham on this one.
I can’t wait to hear the country version of “Come back to me, Partial-Birth Abortion”. It’s sure to be a tear-jerker.
The amazing thing about Toby Keith is that he has stated that he’s also a Democrat! It-s amazing that even his own party considers him “one of them” for just being pro-American.
“take back” That implies they once had it. When was this?
The “king and queen” of country music, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill are die-hard Democrats.
Is it just me or do the democrats remind you of the child whose diapers are so full the overage is running down their legs? They can’t help themselves but to spread the mess everywhere and invariably only make matters worse when they start waxing creatively by trying to turn it into art!
Our own children, God bless their creativity, once did wonderfully odious fecal hand-painting all over their bedroom walls. Now, as adults, happily they can see crap entertainment for what it really is: contrived content for the feeble-minded who are inclined to hate America.
Instead of American Soldier will we hear “American Suicide Bomber”? Afer that look for “Allah bless America” followed by “The Crescent Moon Spangled Banner”
Come on people, Focus please. I’m buying more ammo.
Not even the northeast liberals will listen to this garbage since they consider all country music beneath them. You might have the first concert in history with negative attendance
people still listen to country music? huh. who knew.
Another “major thrust” I see to take back the country— while Mexicans are serving the Dhimmi players there “mojitos”.
Puke-Ola!!!!
They’ll fail. Again.
I don’t think this will fly for the Democrats. After bashing the South, religion and values, do they really think country music is going to open its arms to them? Country fans and Dems in general don’t have much in common.
I could see Willie and Obamination smoking a joint, throw in Killery too, then her laughs on FOX News Sunday could be explained.
Oh, most likely, before the 70′s when the South was generally dominated by the Democratic party which was favored by the southern working man and woman at the time. Back when Democratic leadership was genarally sane – misguided – but sane.
I’m gonna guess these shows aren’t going to be as big a draw as they hope – unless they’re going to drag those evil, right-wing leaning, country-music loving folk to the concerts.
Like MM said, liberals can’t stand it when they don’t dominate everything.
Modern country music (for the most part, there ARE exceptions) is little more than pop music with a vocal twang anyway.
I grew up on country music, riding in a Pinto station wagon with my father to the rifle range, listening to him swear (because he couldn’t when my mom was around) with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and the like playing in the background. Those days are gone, unfortunately.
Donkey-style country music would probably mean more songs about losing jobs, losing dogs, losing wives, losing farms…
Yes, that’d be perfectly in keeping with liberals “recapturing country music.”
Country music will NOT go to the DIMS. Look at what happened to the Dixie Chicks!
Yes, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are Democrats and I’m sure they’re not alone, but they are NOT un-American.
The DIMS won’t get country music or NASCAR for that matter. Obviously they’ve not heard the song “A Country Boy Can Survive.” No where in that song does it say “A Country Boy Can Survive… with help from the government.”
At least they live on in their recordings – and thanks to satelite radio with a channel devoted to the oldies : )
One more thing I couldn’t possibly care about. Why do these people think we need their input on everything?
I am not only a life long Country/Western music fan, I am country-western. This is a great disappointment to me, especially Haggard,one of my all time favorites. I have about run out of movies I will patronize, now I have to worry about music too.
Its funny how things like this get the Democrats working & plotting to reclaim such voters. Often times, they act aghast at how the people turned their backs on the Democrats. More often than not, it was the Democrats kicking them off of the bus.
Will they try to ban using “GOD” in the country songs?
That Merle Haggard song was really bad and I’m not even talking about the lyrics.
As someone who grew up listening to country music in the 50′s and 60′s, the country music today is neither country nor music. If you listen closely, if there is any “music” in it at all it’s pretty generic – one guitar lead works for all of it. It pretty much started going to Hades in the 70′s.
As far as I’m concerned, the libs can have it, it isnt worth a tinker’s curse anyway.
The libs embracing country music is about as funny and realistic as Rudy appearing at a NASCAR race.
Nanci Griffith, Monkey Bowl? Anybody ever heard of these “artists”?
I’ve been a fan of Merle Haggard since I heard “Sing Me Back Home” in the 60′s. I remember turning up my car radio loud when he came on with Okie from Muskogee and Fightin’ Side Of Me because it drove my hippie friends nuts. However, his politics are his own business – whose CD’s I buy is my own business. I never would have thought of Merle as a socialist/communist though.
Let them play..let them record…when the sales equal 5-10 cds, they’ll call it a huge hit! Then it will disappear in some recording studio collection, never to be heard again.
And one other thing – I was not a Tim McGraw/Faith Hill fan before I found out they were socialists.
I’ve always thought McGraw was the biggest no-talent to come down the pike since Narvel Felts.
Most musicians and songwriters in Nashville are left leaning. Even the music industry here in Nashville is full of leftys.
I would say that Country Music has never been music for the conservative. There are just a few musicians, songwriters, and songs that are pro conservative.
There is nothing to win back.
While their at it can they take C/Rap music with them….. we will throw that in as a bonus 2cd BFD pack.
I don’t know what country music you are listening to mikulla to say it has never been music for the conservative. Country music is all about God, family, home, country and values, none of which holds much importance for Democrats these days.
I am sure there are many lefties in country music, but they don’t speak out all that much, do they? Why? Because they would lose fans and support because most country music fans are conservative.
let the fate of the dixie chicks be a warning to all those who dare trespass against God and Country………
the dixie chicks wanted to make nice, and they are forgiven as that is the Christian thing to do, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to run out and buy their music now that I know what their made of…
HAH! I say let them try – it will keep them busy for a little while, and we’ll all get a good laugh out of it, especially if Merle Haggard’s piece is any indication. I’d love to hear the Democrat-approved version of “Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning” or “Independence Day” or “Jesus Take the Wheel”.
Merle Haggard is still alive? The other groups are nobodys.
McGraw and Hill are Learjet Liberals who put on their cowboy costumes for show.
Lots of Democrats in the South, that doesn’t make them blue.
Faith Hill: Bush WTF?
Is code pink their Roadies?
Mookie, I think Canada fits her.
Is their theme song Open Borders? or Surrender
I must have missed that. Their last cd said exactly the opposite. Hateful barnyard fowl who think freedom of speech comes without consequences and isn’t for those who dare to disagree with Natalie the loudmouthed troll. I am certainly not ready to make nice with them.
“The Telegraph” is a tele-crap-tastic.
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw blamed all of Katrina’s problems on Bush. They didn’t think the Democratic first responders (local and state government) deserved any censure for their total lack of preparation and aftermath care for disasters. I lost all respect for them. I never cared for them or their music before Katrina and sure didn’t like them after they showed their total lack of knowledge of disaster relief efforts.
A “BIG” gender switch? Then shouldn’t we be looking for a transvestite?
This will go over with the same dull thud of Air America.
Country music fans will not stand for it.
Natalie Maines made the mistake of making her comment about three years too early. It would barely make the local paper if she said it now.
Are these the same dimmicrats that think everyone
below the Mason Dixon Line are rednecked crackers?
Are these the same dimmicrats that, wearing their
white sheets convinced Southerners ( white and black)
that they had better by Gawd vote their way instead
of Republican?
I can’t see either my conservative or dem friends
either one liking their lyrics.
If we don’t like their movies or their rap or rock
music what makes them think we’ll like their
country music?
This is what happens when you lose brain cells to years of chronic alcoholism and substance abuse.
Merle, we hardly knew ye. Didn’t know you at all, it seems, in spite of listening to you for 35 years. Had you walked over and put your arm around Hugo Chavez, or Osama, I couldn’t be more amazed. Hillary – now listen – is a traitor. A traitor to the nation, to decency, to character, to honesty, and to integrity. The entire Democrat party leadership is made of quislings. Try and name 3 Democrats, apart from Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman, who have shown any support for our sons and daughters on the battlefields of Iraq. The Democrats and the press have been our war effort’s deadliest enemies. Before they revealed themselves politically I enjoyed being entertained by the likes of George Clooney, Sean Penn, Harry Belafonte, et.al.. No more. I can’t because they nauseate me. Much as this news about your fawning for Hillary does. What a sad day.
Too true, as many of them happily voted for Reagan.
LMAO…..seriously.
DiscoCountry is dead!Time to burn/delete all my Haggard stuff…
So he’s shilling for Edwards? I’m confused now…
That, I think, would be a “NO.” Roadies have to actually work…and have half a brain!
I personally cannot see my dem friends that have
voted Rep since Pres Reagan listening to liberal
country music.
“Freedom don’t come free!” — You have to explain it to a Liberal, but they still don’t get it.
I saw Merle Haggard a few months ago and the song that got the biggest reaction was his classic “Working Man Blues” which includes the just as classic line “never been on welfare, that’s one place you’ll never see me.”
Let’s see here,
How do you do, my name is Hsu… Nah.
Music Row has all but been taken over by liberals moving to Nashville from New York City.
Good to know where these people stand as fellow citizens.
I have better things to do with my money than to give it to a bunch of milionaire whiners. Bu Bye Tim and Faith. Enjoy your carbon credits.
Mookie, if Natalie had just said it was an inappropriate comment, sincerely apologized and moved on, they would have avoided all the wrath of country fans. Unfortunately, the cluckers couldn’t keep their big mouths shut. They bashed country music, insulted country music fans & the country music establishment, posed nude, played the victim then lashed out, etc. The F.U.T.K. shirt during the awards show was the last straw. It was never ending and they wouldn’t drop it.
You can’t bite the hand that feeds you. Like any other business, the Chicks provided a product, insulted their customers and then were shocked when the customer struck back. A dumber bunch of cluckers I have never seen.
Jim M #58, today’s winner – A Boy Named Hsu
katieanne, except all those great country tunes about cheating and drinking.
Who do the libs have in their corner? Hollywoodized country stars like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, poseurs like The Dixie Chicks, potheads like Willie Nelson, aging nutters like Merle Haggard, and pseudo-country artists like Nanci Griffith who’s popular with music critics but not with core fans. Seriously, Griffith has more in common with her moonbat buddy Ani DiFranco than with Reba McIntyre.
Everybody else has played Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concerts
.
(Disclaimer: I don’t like country music anyway.)
when the dixie chicks accepted their grammy (which we all know is a joke…) they said “ok we’re ready to make nice…”…
Folks, you can always count on The Charlie Daniels Band!
Anyone that lives in Nashville knows that the people with cowboy hats and values are called tourists.
Anyone who thinks Country music fans will accept lefto-politics from artists hasn’t been paying attention. The fans dictate what they like by what they buy.
I am a big country music fan and I’ve never heard of Nancy Griffith, Shawn Camp, or Monkey Bowl.
Songs of faith, songs of redemption, songs about the love of family and country; these are what sell. Sure, drinkin’, fightin’, and cheatin’ are popular too, but mostly the themes are ones of regret for past bad behavior, not the glorification of bad behavior seen in rap and hip hop.
The artists know their fans and the music execs care about the bottom line, not the line on the ballot box. Profit trumps politics every time.
I have just recently been getting back into country music. Have asked for some cd’s for Christmas. Now I can go to the music row web site and find what musicians NOT to buy. I agree that it is getting harder and harder to find any kind of entertainment I can enjoy these days. Movies are totally out. What to do?
A boy named Hsu. That’s fit for the best of the MM blog. It just doesn’t get any funnier. Congratulations Jim M.#58
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I missed that. I never watch the Grammys. Too little, too late.
The cluckers got all their grammys from the lefties as a show of support. It certainly wasn’t for their music. Some good music got passed over to make a political point, Alan Jackson’s collaboration with Allison Kraus for one.
I’ll take cheatin’ and drinkin’ songs over the filth that passes for music in rap and most of the current garbage that passes for rock nowadays.
where’s that great Jeff Foxworthy clip about why country music is so great and why we always go fight for our country???
At the country music awards (right after the VTech shootings) Foxworthy said something along the lines of “The Dixie chicks had a big night at the Grammies… But I wouldn’t know, I listen to country radio.”
The Dixie Chicks disappeared from country music radio stations after Natalie Maine’s rant against Pres. Bush in England. Most stations still won’t play their music.
The Grammy awards in the country music categories almost never go to the artists, writers etc. who win CMA’s or ACM’s. It wasn’t always that way, but politics trumps reality in the Lib world. Grammy voters obviously aren’t country music fans.
Fair’s fair; I don’t listen to any of the crap that routinely wins Grammys either.
The Libs can keep soccer mom country. I can’t listen to this drivel anymore without gagging. Tim and Faith helped to destroy what was good about country along with a woman named Shania. Now we have Rascal Flatts and Lonestar. Aaaagh! Blech! Ooop Ack! The shame about the Dixie chicks is that they really could play. One heck of a live show, I saw them at the George Strait country music fest back in the late 90′s. About the only country I listen to anymore is Brian Burns (texas music, worth ordering online), and Hank Williams III, if you don’t mind it a bit raw at times.
Robert Oermann *lmao* what a clown. He is so out of place in country music it’s not funny.
Nanci Griffith is the only one listed on the page that I recognized. That’s mostly due to seeing her playing around Austin when I was growing up. She is good songwriter when she is not on the preach-wagon. Not sure why she considers herself part of Music Row.
Nanci is to Music Row, what the “naked man” is to a Hillary fundraiser.
Thank goodness I can still listen to Jerry-Jeff Walker, and Kinky Freidman.
Big and Rich is on my list as well, especially since he is now a target of hate by the “tolerant” left.
I gave up on rock music in 1992. Never did like old country music either, but take a look at these lyrics by Aaron Tippin. I don’t think a Democrat could bring himself to sing these words. If this doesn’t move you, nothing will:
Well if you ask me where I come from
Here’s what I tell everyone
I was born by God’s dear grace
In an extraordinary place
Where the Stars and Stripes and the eagle fly
It’s a big old land with countless dreams
And happiness ain’t out of reach
Hard work pays off the way it should
Yeah I’ve seen enough to know that we got it good.
Where the Stars and Stripes and the eagle fly
There’s a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe
And a bell that still echoes the price that it costs to be free
I pledge allegiance to this flag
And if that bothers you well that’s too bad
But if you got pride and you’re proud you do
Hey we could use a few more like you
Where the Stars and Stripes and the eagle fly.
Yes there’s a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe
And a bell that still echoes
No it ain’t the only place on earth
But it’s the only place that I prefer
To love my wife and raise my kids the same way that my daddy did.
Where the Stars and Stripes, and the eagle fly
If you “Don’t like country music” give it a shot. You might surprise yourself. I did.
WHOA!
Haggard’s song is parody.
I hunted down both the lyrics and an actual track of him singing the song, and it’s clear that he’s just being silly. Witness these lines:
Put a woman in charge of the Army
Put a woman in charge of the wheel
Put someone in charge of the wheel?
That, friends, is parody.
Even more telling is the audio clip. When he sings the line, “Let’s put a woman in charge,” the whole audience cracks up. They got the joke.
The Telegraph, obviously, did not.
Merle is obviously poking fun at the concept of Hillary in charge. But what has happened to his voice?
Merle must be joking. Right? Or else he is suffering from a major case of dementia.
I wonder if this is why I noticed that MacgrawHill was no show at this year’s CMA show??
Thank goodness for CDs. Listen to Marty Robbins, Sons of the Pioneers, Bill Monroe, Flatts & Scruggs, Patsy Cline et al., with no thoughtless political commentary to ruin the mood. Same with movies, my better half and I used to go to movies a couple of times a month. We noticed after the first “W” victory and the subsequent conservative bashing by the hollywood halfwits, we don’t even go twice a year now. Wasn’t even a conscience decision.
ArmoredCav, to say I’m moved ny reading those lyrics is an understatement.
I don’t listen to much country music, really only when I am around my brother in-law do I listen to it. However, what I have heard I enjoy very much.
I listen to most types of music. I don’t do hardcore rap or hip-hop anymore. Just doesn’t speak to where I am in my life.
Democrats are hilarious. They really do think it is all about them. It’ll be fun to watch this act crash and burn.
Michelle,
You need to warn us about the Toby Keith video! When the pictures of the fallen are held up and then the child of a hero comes on stage….
I was sitting near the family and had to explain the tears running down my face. It is heartbreaking. Really puts politics in perspective. Bless them and the families of all the fallen.
Sorry but Merle’s classic “Walking on the Fighting side of Me” still rings true after all these years.
Nanci Griffith is a damn fine songwriter… when she isn’t being political. When she is she’s another loonie lefty.
Haggard’s star has faded and this sounds like a way to get in the spotlight again.
Shania Twain constitutes an act of war by Canada.
All I can really muster is LOL. OLOLOL. OLOLOLOLOL. Okay i’m done.
Shoot me. Then pass me a beer.
Aaron Tippin video “Where the Stars and Sripes and Eagles Fly”
http://www.cmt.com/videos/aaron-tippin/26222/where-the-stars-and-stripes-and-the-eagle-fly.jhtml
“The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism. Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don’t see why people care about patriotism.” —— Natalie Maines, Dixie Chick extraordinaire, spilling her guts to the British press in June 2006.
Yet liberals think Natalie is being picked on when people get angry about her comments. The outrage against the Dixie Chicks has always been much, much more than the original comment made in a foreign country, in front of an anti-American crowd, for the laughs on the eve of war…bad enough as that was.
I saw this coming years ago. It is the culmination of what happens when you tell a lie over and over again. People sooner or later begin to take the lie as truth. they have been going on and on about Bush as evil since before he took the oath of office…sinc ebefore the election even. I have just never really understood it. I still remember how embarrassed I was as a man from this country on inauguration day to see all the protestors throwing eggs, making it so President Bush could not walk the parade route etc., and all for what? There was no reason for any of it. It was nothing buit selfishness. It was at that point that the Liberals and the Democrats split this country in two. rather than accept the decision of the election, based on the Constitution, they chose to divide this country in a way that makes it appear as though it may never again be one unit. For a brief moment, it appeared as though the rift might be repaired following 9-11, but that was far more short lived than even that should have been all because of the same people. Why? Because almost as soon as the second plane hit, the conspiricy idiots were already at work, further ripping this country apart.
While they like to say that Bush was not legally an elected President in 2000, the same cannot be said for 2004. Did the rift go away? no. If anything, it became worse. It groes more every day. Nothing in Washington gets done because the Left is only interested in being contrary to the Bush Administration. They care not for what the people want or need, or what the country wants or needs…it is only their selfish and delusional wants or needs.
If there is a division in this country, it is solely an squarely on the shoulders of the Democrats and of the Liberals. George Bush Jr. CANNOT be blamed for it. The Republican party CANNOT be blamed for it. No matter what they do or have done, nothing will appease these insane people that are the Left-Wing of this country.
What will become of them in one year when Bus is no longer President? Who will they hate then? Where will all this anger go? Where will the blame be turned? It is hard to say. Never in the history of this country, no not even in the time of the Civil War, has the country been faced with such a crisis of division. This is not something that can be decided by brother on brother warfare. How can it be resolved? Only one way…for the Left-Wing to grow up. for them to realize that what they are doing is severely damaging this country, helping our enemies and killing our soldiers. That they are the problem in ways that no one ever could have imagined.
But for them to realize that would take a miracle. And since they do not believe in God, then that miravle just may never come.
You forgot Steve Earle. He wrote a whole album entitled “The Revolution Starts Now” which is a bunch of songs about the Bush administration. He has been married about 7 times and will probably die of alcoholism, (plus if you ever hear an interview with him he’s so dumb he’s “special”) so whoever said it’s more about values and less about politics is right. They’ve never had to grow up or get an education. They’ve never had to work at an actual job and their IQ’s all combined equal about 56, (even the ones that are pro-American – and I’m being generous.) What’s different with the anti-military/Bush/America musicians is that they not only don’t have 2 brain cells to rub together, but they aren’t even thankful or grateful for the fortune that this country has afforded them. I think that’s these ungrateful babies turn most mormal Americans off. They have it great, and yet all they can do is whine about how bad they have it because they didn’t get their way in the last 2 presidential elections. Whaaaaaaaaaa.
Willie Nelson has claimed to be a populist and a champion of small farmers but when it came time to paying his federal income taxes to help pay for the social problems that Willie thought the federal government should solve, well ole Willie just happened to be missing in action. There was a little problem called failing to declare all of your income. Maybe the road goes on forever but remembering income somehow is difficult.
Willie is too busy “being” Willie and smoking pot to do something as normal as actually honestly paying his taxes. Let someone else pay taxes, right?
Look at Cindy Sheehan. She hasn’t paid taxes in years but why hasn’t the IRS gone after her? The woman brags about it. If we didn’t pay our taxes, we’d end up in jail. Guess you have to be a liberal to get away with such things.
Those infected with BDS that start railing and showing those symptoms will quickly come down with DCS (Dixie Chick Syndrome) …
Although BDS has been shown to be mentally debilitating DCS has been shown to result in permanent death to one’s career …
gotta love the fact they point to Toby Keith as being pro-war. The guy is a registered Democrat and has been against the War in Iraq.
Of course those worried about conservatives running country music probably don’t understand supporting the troops, and think that Afghanistan was an immoral war to get involved in.
Again, never let it be said that they let facts get in the way of their hatred, bigotry and racism.
