  • I have never heard James say a bad word about the troops. Bush, on the other hand, is a different story.

    Not everybody likes the same thing. That goes for politics, too.

    I agree with about 99% of what James says. I also happen to think that Toby Keith and his red-neck buddies aren't fit to polish James shoes.

    But that's just my opinion.

  • He's not troop bashing. I've seen at least one interview in which he's speaking very highly of combat soldiers. Believe it or not, it is actually possible to support soldiers and protest war at the same time.

  • @toterola451 YOU TELL 'EM toterola

  • @toterola451 Never thought you were picking a fight. It is true that Keith made that comment regarding the Dixie Chicks, and he did come out with that song after 9/11, but he still did not condone the War in Iraq, and he voted for Obama, if I am correct in my reading. Just my thoughts as well.

  • @THENEWJMONEY507, you remember something different than I do. I remember Toby Keith jumping astraddle the Dixie Chicks when all that bullsh*t was raging, and saying that "It pisses the Liberals off because I'm a registered Democrat who supports Bush." That comment, coupled with that flag waving chicken hawk anthem "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" doesn't recommend Mr. Keith in my estimation. Just my thoughts, I ain't trying to start any fights. Good times!

  • @toterola451 Surprisingly enough, Toby Kieth was also critical of Bush while at the same time supporting the troops

  • @toterola451

    Mine too!

  • redneck hippies unite. Remember when liberals give up firearms only only wingnuts will be armed.

  • Maintenance Shop, Ames IA represent! Can't wait to see James in Des Moines in April.

  • @codypolk1973 awwww hugs to you and thank you!

  • @tash10290 lol

  • I first heard the song, Childish Things" on Chicago's WXRT about two or three years ago, and I thought to myself, this is better than any Steve Earle song!!!! Sadly, not enough people people are singing about "reality" and the ones that are, like this gentleman, can't get exposed to a larger audience. No one wants to hear the TRUTH, until it knocks on THEIR door, and then, IT'S TOO LATE! Thanks for posting patriotic, american music!!! Peace & Happiness, always~Jason
