[Rhodes22-list] Anyone else see this? Is this a true story or urban legend??

     When Charlie Daniels gets on his soapbox, a lot of patriotism can
come out of him: 
       

       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!
