If the Republicans are going to use Johnny Cash's name in vain.

I'd like to let them hear some quotes from the man.

“As far as the war in Vietnam is concerned,” he later commented, “that war just made me sick. I’m not supporting that war or any other war... Maybe Vietnam has taught us a hard lesson to not be involved in foreign wars. Maybe that’s the lesson we’ve learned. I hope we have.”

In 1987 he declared that it was “presumptuous” that people his age thought they could “do something toward raisin’ their kids right by censoring three minutes of what they heard in a day’s dialogue”. “If a parent hasn’t been close enough to his kids to let them make their own decisions,” he continued, “then it’s too late by the time they’re ready to rock ‘n roll.”

“I don’t know how patriotic I’d be if I was poor and hungry”.

2. "But...but...he's COUNTRY...aren't all country music singers on our side?"

Dumb fucks. Cash had soul -- that fact alone excludes the possibility that he was a Puke! Cash, Haggard -- hell, all the GREAT ones -- were champions of the working man and woman.

Not like these chickenshit pricks like Charlie F'ing Daniels and Toby Keith.

3. “I don’t know how patriotic I’d be if I was poor and hungry”.

That line could destroy the Republican Party.
