charLie danieLs' soapbox
i head over to that part of the web once in a whiLe for a good Laugh. it used to make my red, white and bLue bLood boiL but now i just pity the oLd fooL. do any of you ever read his writings, or better, try to post there? whatever you do, don't caLL him a has-been... he hates that, and his quick retort to that charge is, "a has been? i'm onLy touring the country and pLaying at every county fair and barn auction."

i did just increase my ignorance though by reading this:

- You can’t make somebody learn if they don’t try to or aren’t encouraged to. How can you expect a child to learn in a school surrounded by a no man’s land peopled by punks, pimps and drug dealers who use the justice system like a revolving door, and the A.C.L.U. cries foul every time there is a serious effort to clean it up.

- Aids are spread mainly by a homosexual lifestyle and don’t take my word for it, look it up. The epidemic in the heterosexual community that was predicted never materialized.

- Abortion is murder and no amount of intellectualizing can change that fact. If life doesn’t begin at conception when does it begin?

- Hillary Clinton stands against just about everything I believe in and I wouldn’t vote for her to clean out a subway station in Brooklyn. I think I’ve said enough about Bill in this column for the last several years to let anyone know what I think of him.

- If you don’t believe that the war in Iraq is the war on terror, who are we fighting over there now?

- Real marriage exists only between a man and a woman, and nothing anybody on this earth can do will make it otherwise.

- There are a lot of people who think that the Holy Bible is irrelevant this day and age. I pity you because the Bible will never be irrelevant. Though heaven and earth pass away, God’s word will never pass away

8. I think the key word in the question is...
Edited on Tue Jun-29-04 09:24 AM by tjwash
..."now?" The answer of course is, the Iraqi people. You know, the ones who were going to be so thrilled and happy with us that flowers were to be thrown at out feet, as our pure Aryan stormtroop....oops, I mean soldiers marched through downtown Baghdad. Of course in Charlie's perfect little "black and white", "my country right or wrong", "insert jingoistic catch phrase here" world, indigenous people who are fighting because their culture, home, and everything they grew up with and know about are under attack ARE terrorists. Just another form of the oldest propaganda, assign an awful moniker to your enemy to dehumanize them to everyone, so that it makes killing them easier.

Gee who would have thought it. People that are irate just because we invaded them under false pretenses to steal their oil, are fighting back.

2. I hate to say it - I like one of Charlie Daniel's statements
"If you don’t believe that the war in Iraq is the war on terror, who are we fighting over there now"


I have no idea

4. A sad and immaterial...
Old Man, whose time in the spotlight has been and gone, and is reduced to playing gun shows and shopping center openings.

Still, in the hopes of selling a few more records and tickets, he alienates possible customers. Baby with the bathwater.

No one cares, Charlie. No one cares.

6. Charlie you are right
Edited on Tue Jun-29-04 09:24 AM by bullimiami
-You cant make someone learn if they are a bigoted, hateful know it all.

-Aids? Africa? Duh...

-Abortion we can disagree on. We prefer freedom and sovereignty , a womans ownership of her own body. Maybe you prefer the Handmaids Tale.
No one likes Abortion. No one is "PRO ABORTION". But we are pro-woman and you are pro-god.

-You hate Bill and Hillary. I hate Bush, Ashcroft and their ilk for what they do and for their dark age prescription for humanity.

-I DONT believe the war in Iraq is the war on terror, you are correct. And I think you are deluded, misinformed or stupid if you think otherwise.

-What in the world is "real marriage?" Your faith is welcome to decide who they want to marry but the state needs to treat EVERYONE equally. Its called "FREEDOM".

-You are welcome to read and love youre bible all you want. Pity me? I pity you. The bible has some great stuff in there. Too bad you have twisted it all around to make it hateful and exclusionary. The bible doesnt have anything to do with god, if there is one, or its words. It has to do with US and how we behave. You have forgotten that.
You might want to crack the thing open and learn something.
