Tim McGraw lends support to divide and conquer tactic with anti-gun concert

Country singer Tim McGraw’s announcement Monday that he will be headlining a benefit concert for the “progressive” Sandy Hook Promise Foundation may disappoint some fans, but it should hardly surprise those who recall the encouragement he received in 2006 from “fellow Democrat, former President Clinton” to run for political office. What may surprise some, should any care to look under the surface of the event, is the decidedly non-“country” bent of the people behind the concert.

They're going to milk this Sandy Hook thing (which smells like rotten eggs from a mile away) for every penny; just like the relief funds set up for it three days before it happened, by the United Way no less!...Anyone so weak-minded to drop their gun convictions for an elite controlled music industry huckster wouldn't be welcome in my foxhole...; April 16, 2015 at 5:32 AM
Bad Cyborg said...: So far as I can determine Tim McGraw has never claimed to be any sort of conservative. For this reason alone - if the endorsement from Clinton wasn't enough - his appearance at the concert should come as no surprise to anyone.

Anon @ 5:32AM definately has the right of it. No sense supporting these anti-gun entertainers with your hard-earned money. If you simply cannot live without their music there are always ways to enjoy their product without contributing to their lifestyle. Bit torrent anyone?; April 16, 2015 at 7:27 AM
Robert Fowler said...: Never was a fan, now, even more so. I now consider him to be one of the gun haters and will never give him a dime. Maybe he should look up Dixie Chicks.; April 16, 2015 at 9:12 AM

Well there you go.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
