Charlie Daniels’ Open Letter To Congress [OPINION]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "I love me some CDB!"

Charlie Daniels has been a hero of mine both musically and politically for many years now, and when Charlie gets on his "Soapbox," folks just better sit up and pay attention.

Seriously, check out some of the quotes below and tell me Charlie Daniels doesn't know how to speak his mind.

The Open Letter starts off like this:

 I am a proud American who believes that America has held - and still holds - a very sensitive and special place in the affairs of mankind on Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and protected in our two centuries plus of existence.

I believe that America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of tyranny, evil and conquest and, admittedly, we have made a lot of mistakes, but on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the international affairs of mankind.

It took a lot of old fashioned guts for the Continental Congress to stand up to the world's mightiest military and tell them that we demanded our independence, even at the peril of going up against a far superior force on land and sea with a ragtag army of untrained citizens, many who had to supply their own firearms.

 

But it sure doesn't take long to get to the heart of his feelings on how today's congress, in his opinion, is doing it all wrong;

Well, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly.

 

Go to Charlie Daniels' website and read the whole piece, then come back and tell us if you agree with Charlie or have a different take.

Keep up the great work Charlie Daniels, you sir are a great American, in my humble opinion.
