In the interest of equal time, and since a country singer has just as much credibility as a hollywood movie producer, I am reprinting a letter Charlie Daniels wrote to some of the people in Hollywood speaking out against Bush and America.
An Open Letter To The Hollywood Bunch
Ok let's just say for a moment you bunch of
pampered, overpaid,unrealistic children had your way
and the U.S.A. didn't go into Iraq.
Let's say that you really get your way and we
destroy all our nuclear weapons and stick daisies in
our gun barrels and sit around with some white wine
and cheese and pat ourselves on the back, so proud of
what we've done for world peace.
Let's say that we cut the military budget to
just enough to keep the National Guard on hand to
help out with floods and fires.
Let's say that we close down our military bases
all over the world and bring the troops home,
increase our foreign aid and drop all the trade
sanctions against everybody.
I suppose that in your fantasy world this would
create a utopian world where everybody would live in
peace. After all, the great monster, the United States
of America, the cause of all the world's trouble would
have disbanded its horrible military and certainly all
the other countries of the world would follow suit.
After all, they only arm themselves to defend
their countries from the mean old U.S.A.
Why you bunch of pitiful, hypocritical, idiotic,
spoiled mugwumps. Get your head out of the sand and
smell the Trade Towers burning. Do you think that a
trip to Iraq by Sean Penn did anything but encourage a
wanton murderer to think that the people of the U.S.A.
didn't have the nerve or the guts to fight him?
Barbra Streisand's fanatical and hateful rantings
about George Bush makes about as much sense as Michael
Jackson hanging a baby over a railing.
You people need to get out of Hollywood once in a
while and get out into the real world. You'd be
surprised at the hostility you would find out
here.
Stop in at a truck stop and tell an overworked,
long distance truck driver that you don't think Saddam
Hussein is doing anything wrong.
Tell a farmer with a couple of sons in the
military that you think the United States has no right
to defend itself.
Go down to Baxley, Georgia and hold an anti-war
rally and see what the folks down there think about
you.
You people are some of the most disgusting
examples of a waste of protoplasm I've ever had the
displeasure to hear about.
Sean Penn, you're a traitor to the United
States of America. You gave aid and comfort to the
enemy. How many American lives will your little, "fact
finding trip" to Iraq cost? You encouraged Saddam to
think that we didn't have the stomach for war.
You people protect one of the most evil men on
the face of this earth and won't lift a finger to save
the life of an unborn baby. Freedom of choice, you
say?
Well I'm going to exercise some freedom of choice
of my own. If I see any of your names on a marquee,
I'm going to boycott the movie. I will completely stop
going to movies if I have to. In most cases it
certainly wouldn't be much of a loss.
You scoff at our military whose boots you're
not even worthy to shine. They go to battle and risk
their lives so ingrates like you can live in
luxury.
The day of reckoning is coming when you will be
faced with the undeniable truth that the war against
Saddam Hussein is the war on terrorism.
America is in imminent danger. You're either
for her or against her.
There is no middle ground.
I think we all know where you stand.
What do you think?
God Bless America
Charlie Daniels
