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.
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?
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?
"Am I coming down equally hard on CD"? . Yes, because I really do not care one Iota what "celebs" think or espouse. Do they have a right to their opinions? Most certainly. What I find funny is the same cast of characters who come down on CD while also jumping on those who are critical of Hollywood. I don't care what Meryl says, I have disdain for her thinking I care or want to hear what she has to say. I do not. I do not want hear or read CD's thoughts either. For me?..Whether I agree or disagree matters only to me; I would rather they begin to view themselves and what they think as important as, well .......who gives a rat's a**?.
I don't want to hear it.
Great, another scumbag who hates half the country because of their values.
Meryl Streep?
Robert Deniro?
Whoopi Goldberg?

Let's not forget Jane Fonda.
Show me one example of them blasting all Republicans or conservatives as a whole, and I’ll accuse them of the same thing. If you read that CD letter and don’t see the obvious hatred for all things Democrat, then good luck to you. Hating people for their values is as bad as hating someone for the color of their skin, whether coming from the left or right. It’s not the party, it’s the person.

And Charles Lindbergh!
Seriously, I'm not sure what world you live in where you are unrelentingly slammed with celebrities' opinions. Have you tried ignoring them? Maybe stop watching The View? Maybe watch Jeopardy instead of Access Hollywood.
charlie's off his meds again.

Watched "The View" for a few episodes, quit watching it. Jeopardy, love it. My wife thinks I should be on it since I answer most questions before Alex finishes reading it.
My opinion on what celebs think? I think mine and everyone's carries just as much weight as theirs.
Charles Lindbergh, he got in trouble over his opinion that the Luftwaffe was invincible and supported the America First isolationist movement.

Exactly. They are just people.
Charlie Daniels is a true patriot. Hillary labeled Trump supporters like him as deplorable.
I am curious, Goob. What is it that makes him a patriot?
HIS MUSIC -- how he & the CDB talk up up America in songs too numerous to list -- Cowboy Hat in Dallas, Sweet Louisiana, America I Believe In You, many others -- which mention multiple places/states he's been to how much he enjoys it

I think it requires more than that. A patriot doesn’t disparage I half the country’s population because of their political affiliation and values. That’s no better than hating someone for the color of their skin. Patriot my a$$.
It's kinda simple. The devil came to the US, he was looking for some souls to steal, he was in a bind, cause he was way behind, and he's always willing to make some deals.
We are in prophetic times. Charlie doesn't know the Muslim prophecies, but what is going on geographically and politically is in line with information handed down 1500 years ago. That is pretty amazing in and of itself.
The new temple that will be built in Jerusalem on the site of Temple Mount is part of that prophecy. This new temple will be completed within the year because part of it is already pre-fabricated. When the current Dome is taken the Dome of the Rock during construction, a new intifada will begin. When Al Aqsa mosque is damaged during construction, one of the most holiest sites in Islam (you have the masjid in Mecca, the one in Madinah - the Prophet's masjid, and Al Aqsa in Jerusalem) you have destroyed sacred grounds of Muslims. It would be like razing the Vatican so some other religious group could come in and worship, and Rome and the Vatican will be attacked that is in the prophecies also. A worldwide holy war will commence. Those who plan the renovations in Jerusalem probably do not know that the Israel God talks about are the peoples from the land of Judah, not just modern day Jews, who do not even believe in Jesus and his role as the Prince of Peace and future ruler of Jerusalem. So why are modern day Jews whose religious beliefs do not even include Jesus given such special treatment that Trump withholds $40 something billion dollars in humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people unless they recognize and submit themselves to modern day Israel? He does not know. The modern day Jews who believe they are above everyone else and are the chosen people are incorrect.
The people of Judah, which includes a lot more than some of the modern day Jews are the ones to inherit Jerusalem, and that includes Christians and Muslims who were forced to migrate during years of wars and world misunderstandings.
Does anyone in Washington realize that the peoples of the original tribes of Israel have claim to the land, and that includes some of the people currently in Palestine.
Couldn't disagree more BoyntonBro -- you can disagree w/someone/something w/out hating/disparaging on them/it
Only rarely read his columns
have yet to Ever see where his was disparaging/condescending/hateful toward people -- what some see as black, others see as white, as they saying goes -- what some people see as belligerent "rants," I see as more calm, thought-provoking in his column writings --
& he always ends them w/"What Do You Think?"
"we ain't lookin to start no wars
unless they come invadin' our shores"
[Edited on 1/25/2018 by Stephen]
The only person I know who ends his comments with "What do you think? " is Robert Reich.
daniels is a clownservative big mouth.
Damn shame we got stuck with charlie to open for ZZ Top after Gregg had to cancel.
Couldn't disagree more BoyntonBro -- you can disagree w/someone/something w/out hating/disparaging on them
Agreed, except he didn’t do that. He disparaged several times in the letter.

“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.”
- what some see as black, others see as white, as they saying goes -- what some people see as belligerent "rants," I see as more calm, thought-provoking
Good to know that you don’t view the words puppy pound, puppets, wimpy. out of control, not worthy of prestige and respect, as civil and thought-provoking. If that’s your version of appropriate, then good luck to you.
Puppy pound is a cute descriptor, you can never guess what triggers a lefty.
What is a lefty and a Trump supporter anyway? I bet there are lots of Trump supporters that disagree with one another and don't like one another, and the same for Obama supporters.

Ah, a lefty plans the race card yet again.
Sad.
What is a lefty?
Charlie Daniels is a true patriot.
Absolutely! I mean, look at his record of military service - especially in light of his strident support of sending troops into battle! A strong, patriotic history of calling for others to go to war!
What is a lefty?
Someone who claims that others do not understand the plight of Illegal Aliens while not fully grasping the Tax burden on citizens here?

Wrong. Try again.

Ah, a racist plays the lefty card yet again. Hilarious.
Someone who claims that others do not understand the plight of Illegal Aliens while not fully grasping the Tax burden on citizens here?
I fully understand the tax burden. You fully understand their plight, and still use the tax burden to justify your disparagement and hatred of them. A better person rises above that low level crap. Please continue.

Listen to his song MIA -- it decries the same thing you're accusing him of -- how wrong it is sending people off to war, esp. w/no hope of bringing them home --
he's not a warmonger -- a redneck yes, a warmonger/racist/hating bellicose bastard he's been portrayed as, no
By the same Token, guessin you're not too familiar w/his music -- it's been around a lot longer than his columns 😮 -- peace, good wknd

Love Charlie's stuff -- it's all in what one hears -- I dig their song American Farmer (CDB's) -- his ode to his ranch in Twin Pines Theme -- their take of Jimmy Dean's Big Bad John -- of course Wooley Swamp -- I have his religion-oriented "The Door" CD & like it a lot -- 1st song, The Business Of Love
StratDal chek out Redneck Fiddlin Man -- they cover Much musical terrain in 5 min --
Midnight Train is another good CDB 'sampler' type song -- it's all good bro
