An open letter to the members of Congress, care of Charlie Daniels.

[Mr. Daystar]

I have to say, I agree with much of it, and like the mans style....

I am a proud American who believes that America has held – and still holds – a very sensitive and special place in the affairs of mankind on Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and protected in our two centuries plus of existence.

I believe that America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of tyranny, evil and conquest, and admittedly, we have made a lot of mistakes. But on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the international affairs of mankind.

It took a lot of old fashioned guts for the Continental Congress to stand up to the world's mightiest military and tell them that we demanded our independence, even at the peril of going up against a far superior force on land and sea, and with only a ragtag army of untrained citizens, many of whom had to supply their own firearms.

It took courage above and beyond for Abraham Lincoln to push the country into a Civil War that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would divide this nation for decades.

It took guts to give the order for American troops to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, straight into the face of artillery and machine gunfire, wave after wave being cut to ribbons by German shore emplacements.

The history of this nation is written in the blood and courage of men who stood in the face of overwhelming odds – politicians, soldiers, statesmen and ordinary citizens who sought to do the right thing regardless of the cost or the consequences.

Well, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly.

You don't even have the courage to face down an out of control president, even when he makes a deal with the devil. Don't you bunch of timid capons even care what kind of world you're leaving to your children and grandchildren, not to even mention the rest of us? Are you really party partisans before your parents and grandparents or even human beings?

Be honest with yourselves a minute. Go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and ask the person you see this question: "Do I really believe that Iran will not use the money we're releasing to them to finance terrorists to kill Americans, and, when, not if, but when, the Iranians develop their nuclear device, will they really use it against America and Israel?"

You can’t hide from the truthful answer to that question forever, an answer will be required of you one day.

You have allowed Obama to tilt the Supreme Court so far to the left that they're little more than a shameful extension of the Executive Branch.

You have talked for decades about the porous southern border but have done absolutely nothing about it.

You have allowed cities in this nation to declare themselves sanctuary cities where they protect the worst of the worst criminal aliens, and American citizens are paying an awful price for your silence.

You watch an impossible National Debt balloon completely out of control, knowing full well that a day of reckoning is coming that will seriously curtail the quality of life for coming generations.

You allow corrupt government agencies like the IRS to run over the very people you are sworn to protect and allow the entitlement society to expand exponentially. All the while, you are actually entertaining the idea of raising taxes on those who still work and shoulder the burden.

You compose a third of the constitutionally mandated ruling system,and you shirk your duty

and allow this nation to move a little closer to the edge every day.

Your ratings are in the single digits; your morals are in the gutter; your minds are on self-preservation; and somewhere along the way, you’ve traded your honor for political expediency.

You've violated your oaths; you've betrayed your country; you've feathered your nests; and you've sat on your hands while an imperial president has rubbed your noses in the dirt time after time.

You're no longer men. You're puppets, caricatures, jokes, a gaggle of fading prostitutes for sale to anybody who can do you a political favor.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I pester John Boehner pretty frequently in 140 characters or less. Charlie did it better.

I was thinking more along the lines of............


The Devil went down to congress, he was looking for a soul to buy.

He's merely regurgitating rightwing propaganda he's been brainwashed by, consequence of getting too old to do much more than surf the screamers of the establishment "anti-establishment".

Charlie has probably seen more of this world than you or I ever will. To say that his worldview is the product of brainwashing is ridiculous. The man reached his own conclusions whether you agree with them or not. If doubt with his career, he has much time to be propagandized unless it is by regular people at truck stops, restaurants and airports.

 

[xfire]

He's a regular on Fox News so you're probably right, he's a part of the far right propaganda machine and takes his marching orders from the same puppet masters, not significantly different than my first response.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Is he a regular? I have watched Fox a little more lately since the election season has fired up. Don't recall seeing him once. Then again, it sounds like you watch them more than I do. On a personal note,I know Charlie Daniels,not close friends but know him and his family. He is from my hometown and know for a fact that he was a liberal growing up. And I mean a David Crosby, smoke a bowl, bull frog green and sticky as glue liberal.

 

[Jack Davenport]

And one other point. That letter he wrote pretty much captures the sentiments of those that feel this president and congress do not represent them or their interests. I am not going to predict the outcome for any party next election, I will predict that there is an anti establishment movement building like we have never seen before and politicians from both parties are going to be thrown out on their asses and it will send shockwaves into Washington DC. I am willing to bet my house John McCain is not reelected.

I don't believe you for a minute lol

 

[Jagger69]

I do agree with much of what he says but it's a bit too partisan in its slant for my liking. If one happens to be an anti-Obama conservative they would likely condone every word of his diatribe. Charlie sounds like he's been hanging out with Bocephus a bit too much lately....not the same guy who wrote "Uneasy Rider". :1orglaugh

 

[Supafly]

Again, I did not know who or what this guy is. So, I looked him up, and here he is, playing and talking on the Arsenio Hall Show '90

I am somewhat with jagger on this. The man is on the right path, but he really throws out the kid with the bath in the second half of his open letter.
