Charlie Daniels: We Almost Lost Our Country Last Fall

By Charlie Daniels | January 23, 2018 | 9:05 AM EST

We almost lost our country last fall. America was unwittingly on the precipice of becoming a nation whose government was willing to go to illegal and devious lengths to maintain the status quo.

I believe that the information that will be forthcoming in the next few weeks will be both astonishing and frightening to the American public, information that was never meant to see the light of day, much less the scrutiny of the American people.

I believe there will be irrefutable evidence of collusion among the upper echelons of the Democratic Party, actually denying any candidate except Hillary Clinton a chance to be their presidential candidate.

I believe there will be evidence of the same people and their Democrat puppets in Congress to foist a false dossier, undocumented, totally unsubstantiated and paid for by the Democrats, on the American public aided by their serfs in the media that would falsely tie Donald Trump, his associates and members of his inner circle with the Russian government.

I believe there will be proof of the weaponizing of federal agencies and personnel and collusion between the Obama justice department and the FBI.

We already know that the Internal Revenue Service was used to deprive citizens’ groups of their rights, and we know the guilty parties are still walking the street.

None of this was ever supposed to come to light. They were so arrogant and confident that Hillary Clinton was going to be president and all the garbage would be buried, the guilty parties would still be in power and that the socialist-globalist agenda of Barack Obama would go forth, that they didn't even take the time to properly cover their footprints.

And now, due to some diligent digging and dogged persistence by the few journalists who don't live in the leftist puppy pound, the sordid and dangerous truth is starting to come out.

At this juncture, we don't know how deep the corruption goes or how high up the ramifications will reach, but it starts at the director level and could go all the way to the top.

These are the same people who perceived the American public to be gullible enough to believe that the murder of a United States Ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi was caused by an anti-Muslim video, created by some faceless, nameless character, who, to this day, nobody seems to know the whereabouts of.

And that in the course of thirteen hours, the greatest military on the planet couldn't have executed a rescue plan. (And by the way, there is new evidence in the air on that Obama-Clinton debacle also).

It was all planned out. Hillary would be elected by a landslide. All the dirt would have been covered up. The guilty parties would go free, and ultraliberal immigration policies would have been instituted, a quick path to citizenship established and an unbeatable voter base created to guarantee a Democrat government ad infinitum.

The entitlement rolls would have grown exponentially, the economy would have continued its downward spiral, as the Clinton government would have adopted the anti-business, pro-taxes policies of the Obama administration. The national debt, which Obama doubled while he was in office, would have expanded, and America would have continued to be viewed around the world as a wimpy, out of control former superpower, not worthy of either prestige or respect.

Our military would have continued to be neglected and downsized, and the velvet glove treatment of Islamic terrorists would be maintained.

Religious freedom would have continued to be stifled, and government bureaucracies and power would have grown until its tentacles would have reached into every facet of life.

Washington, even at its best, is a fetid swamp crawling with those who have sold their respectability, honor and constituents, and the nation for that matter, for a few more years of power.

At its worst, it's a concerted effort by politicians, who – even though they know they are proliferating a lie – they smugly push any scheme, no matter how underhanded, that will give their accursed political party an edge, even to the point of trying to decertify the election of a duly-elected president.

Does anybody actually think that Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats, and a couple of RINOs, actually care about the dreamers?

Well, they have claimed that they care about the minorities for fifty years, but what have they done for them?

All the dreamers or the minorities mean to these burnt charlatans are votes, pure and simple. Just give us your vote, and go back to the ghetto and wait for another fifty years.

America walked on thin ice and almost fell through, only the grace of God kept us from it.

Pray for our troops, our police and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

Charlie Daniels

Oh Charlie! I love the music he and his band created in the 70s, but how often does he do these open letters?

Does anyone really care what CD thinks or says about politics? He probably knows no more than most of the posters on this site. We've had this similar discussion before. Who gives a crap what musicians or actors think or say about politics.

Do what you do best - play your music, Charlie.

Right wingers think that celebs should keep their opinion to themselves. Unless, of course, if their opinions align with the right.

ok

Personally, I've always thought Charlie Daniels is over-rated and takes himself too seriously.

Last week The Uneasy Rider himself cautioned Taco Bell not to mess with the Illuminati. Maybe start ignoring this guy.

http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2018/01/10/charlie-daniels-warns-taco-bell-illuminati-is-not-frivolous-subject.html

Charlie DaniCharlie Daniels warns Taco Bell: ‘The illuminati is not a frivolous subject'els isn’t too keen on Taco Bell’s new ad campaign..

The country artist, perhaps best known for the 1979 hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” took to Twitter on Monday night to admonish Taco Bell for joking about the Illuminati, presumably after he became aware of the Tex-Mex chain’s new commercials for its $1 menu.

“Hey Taco Bell,” tweeted Daniels, 81. “The Illuminati is not a frivolous subject.”

Taco Bell’s ad campaign — which centers around a fictitious “Belluminati” filled with cloaked, ominous figures — first debuted in mid-December, shortly after the restaurant announced plans to add 20 new $1 items to its existing value menu through 2018. The commercials also depict the “Belluminati” as a secret society that controls the $1 menu from their hidden headquarters, clearly mocking the idea of a secret society of power-players and influencers controlling modern society.

Daniels didn’t elaborate on his warnings to Taco Bell, but the musician, 81, has written about the Illuminati and “shadow governments” in the past. In a 2015 Facebook post, Daniels admitted that the idea of a such organizations are “hard for [him] to swallow,” but he didn’t rule out the possibility of a secret society operating “behind the scenes.”

“I do have some very deep suspicions about people who operate behind the scenes and have undue and unmerited influence in the halls of power of the international political scene,” Daniels admitted.

Meanwhile, the majority of Daniels’ Twitter followers don’t appear to be nearly as concerned about the “Belluminati” as he is. Over a thousand commenters have since responded to his post, many of whom were making light of his warning to Taco Bell.

Taco Bell declined to comment on the tweet to Fox News.

I actually believe much of what CD says. And this is coming from a person that used to lean more left than right at one time. Once you step out of the "matrix", you see the world for how it really functions and appears and it isn't as nice as what is protrayed.

What comes across to me in his columns is, he's a great American patriot who loves his country enough to speak out about it -- feel much more of a positive than negative vibe in his writings -- don't agree w/everything Charlie says but he encourages civil discourse in the name of the red, white and blue -- glad he gets his stuff out there

In 76, ol' Charlie traveled traveled the Southland doing
fund raisers for the Jimmy Carter for president (demo party).
I always felt his style was whats big at time artist, copying
everything that had been done in Macon and trying to pass it
off as original. Just maybe his cowboy hats are way to tight
these days.

Agreed. But does this apply to Meryl Streep, Robert Deniro, Amy Schummer, Whoopi and all of the "Celebs" who use their status to broadcast their (Anti-right) political beliefs?...Seems like some here were literally told to crawl back into their holes when they stated their opinions about Hollywood and its influence.

But hey, everybody has a right to the thoughts?....right?

Sorry Keanu, there is no matrix... Just a singular reality we all live in and your individual capacity to process that reality, or not. If you believe in Illuminati, deep state, and a system that is deviously controlled by powerful old men in secret societies out to get you... you're not enlightened. You are paranoid.

The problem with Charlie Daniels' rants is that they are blindly partisan and racist. He chooses to see half the issue, and he's pretty damn self-righteous about it. Much like those who complain when leftist celebrities speak their mind, yet proudly pass along Daniels' rhetoric.

The USA spent the 20th century toppling south American, southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and African governments in order to fight communism and promote its own capitalist interests. That hasn't changed in the 21st century. This isn't partisan, and in many cases we were in the right - in some cases we seriously messed up countries for decades, resulting in our current Prez calling them "sh1tholes" and trying to make an issue out of keeping those people out. International meddling is what every single President has done since TR, regardless of party. As Michael Corleone says, we are all a part of the same hypocrisy. For the Uneasy Rider to constantly rant as if one party (let alone, one member of that party) is culpable for deception and international incidents is about as ignorant as ignorant gets.

It's not "rhetoric" when Meryl Streep uses the stage and national audience at the Golden Globes to do the very same thing?

I haven't seen any Amy Schumer threads here. No one here really cares what they think, the only people here passing their opinions along are the ones telling them to shut it, yet every other Charlie Daniels open letter gets shared here as if it means something.

I didn't share, nor do I recall anyone else sharing, Meryl Streep's message here, nor did I watch the Golden Globes. She can say what she wants, just like Charlie can.

Maybe change your name to "Straw Man". Thanks for missing and proving my point.

Indeed you did, I did a search. Bully for you. Seems counterproductive if you care so little.

I'd rather spend time and energy defending my words, not those of others here or on a stage. Fair?

Such a bizarre obsession that you have with liberals. It sure does make you unravel. You realize hypocrisy exists in everyone, right? I think you get bashed here so much because you’re confused about what makes you angry, and it causes you to post a bunch of nonsense.

Not really interested in be-littling anyone here brother. Just stating my opinion. Why do you feel CD has a bias and what is it that he said exactly that you don't agree with?

Don't say Gina and I didn't warn you! This ad campaign is a harbinger of the Burrito of Doom! Foretold by time-traveling elders! Listen to Charlie Daniels! After all, he whipped the Devil's ass with just that screechy out-of-tune fiddle! Of course, he couldn't be bothered to serve in the military but he sure thinks it's a good idea if others go off to get shot.

Well yes, everyone has a right to their thoughts. And we all have the right to not be interested in the thoughts of those who are in the public spotlight who use their pulpit to express their personal beliefs. That is why I stated in my original post, "Who gives a crap what musicians or actors think or say about politics."

And to qualify that even further when you listed several liberals - my personal (repeat my personal) belief is that it applies to liberals and conservatives. I don't care what anyone in the entertainment industry says or writes with a politically motivated angle.

I seem to remember you being pretty hard on Hollywood types when they gave their opinions. But I guess you are coming down equally hard on CD because his views are nowhere near those of a Libertarian, right?

But you agree with CD's belittling such as...

"the few journalists who don't live in the leftist puppy pound"

"The national debt, which Obama doubled while he was in office, would have expanded, and America would have continued to be viewed around the world as a wimpy, out of control former superpower, not worthy of either prestige or respect."

The entire letter said nothing more than "I hate Democrats and liberals". Great, another scumbag who hates half the country because of their values.

Sounds like CD has been hanging around the extremist wing of the House GOP & with Trump - all dwelling in conspiracy theories.
