Charlie Daniels On Paula Deen and Our Country!
 |
| Hey Ya'll!!!!! |
I don’t usually get too political on our site, but a friend sent this to me by way of e/mail and I wanted to share with all our
cooking buddies out there. Now I don’t know how you feel about
Paula Deen
as everyone has their own opinions and I respect that. As for me, I
happen to like her and her recipes, and I am upset with the way they
have railroaded her here of late! This was the article that he posted I
believe on Soapbox on July 1st, and as for me, he hit the nail on the
head! Here’s what he had to say about what’s happening to Paula:
“I think that if anything exemplifies the overt prejudice and
determination of the American media to report only the news that suits
their social and political interests and concept of what does and does
not fit their agenda, it’s the totally overblown coverage of something
Paula Deen said 20 years ago, and some
party she planned that she wanted to resemble a plantation scene featuring black male waiters in period dress.
If Hollywood plans a movie featuring black waiters in a plantation
scene or portray women as prostitutes or cast minorities in caricature
roles does the media get upset and start calling the movie moguls
racists?
Is there any grown person who could truthfully declare under oath
that they have never uttered something that someone might find
personally offensive?
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Do the twenty-year-old words of a lady with a
television cooking
show
trump the lie an Attorney General told Congress, or officials at the
IRS usurping the rights of the American public and pleading the fifth
amendment when confronted about it or the hiding of the facts
surrounding the murder of four Americans at a Consulate in Libya or the
incredibly shabby image of a president taking a one hundred million
dollar
vacation in this economy
while closing down tours of the White House or the NSA invasion on the
privacy of millions of unsuspecting citizens?
I think not, and yet these and other stories of the utmost importance
were either ignored or given a back seat to the Paula Deen story which,
when taken in context with the high level scandals, Putin’s snubbing of
an American president, the potentially explosive situations in so much
of the world the story was certainly not newsworthy enough to be
featured five nights in a row on network news.
Wouldn’t a week-long investigation into the life of Lois Lerner, the
things she’s done and the reason she’s pleading the fifth be more
meaningful to the American people?
What about what’s going on in Israel? The media has been strangely
quiet on that front lately, is there nothing worth reporting in that
volatile part of the world?
How about the coming catastrophic tidal wave the effect of Obamacare
is going to have on America, is there nothing worth questioning in the
over 30,000 pages of regulations?
How about the fact that due to federal over regulation it’s nearly impossible to live in the U.S. without breaking some law?
How about the Christian pastor who is being held in one of the worst
hell hole prisons in the world in Iran for nothing more than sharing his
faith?
How about a whole way of life that’s being destroyed in West Virginia by the president’s war on coal?
I think you get the picture.
No wonder the mainstream media has fallen so far in the trust of the American people.
Why is the Paula Deen story worth so much airtime if not to take
attention off the truly important issue, the life changing things that
really affect the lives of Americans?
The news is not about news anymore. It’s about protecting some
people, destroying others and shoving a socialist agenda down the
collective throats of America.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

I can’t find one thing in his statement that I can argue with. Being
the age I am, I can recall the days of people calling Chinese people
“Chinks”, Mexicans were “Spicks”, American Indians were “Red Men”,
Blacks called Whites “Homie” and of course the dreaded N word for the
blacks! I had a mom who used the N word and her definition of that word
was a person of any
color who happened to be a very lazy
individual. She also used the N word in the definition of how hard
someone worked, you know, “I worked like a N today”, meaning that she
worked her butt off, quite the contrary to her explanation of the term!
But however you look at it, we should all respect one another for who
they are!
On my last note to this farce on Paula Deen, I will no longer buy any
product put out by Smithfield Foods as this once American owned
company, has now joined forces with a China based meat company and is no
longer truly American! I try to buy as many products that I can that
are made in the USA and keep our jobs in our homeland. Paula should be
glad that they dropped her after her supposed scandalous actions so many
years ago!

Thanks Charlie for backing up Paula, all your great music, supporting our soldiers and for your love of our country and God!
This is an approved guest post from Cooking With Mama.com and I totally agree!
So, where is Cote de Pablo going? Why did she leave so abruptly? Will she stay in the public eye? I don’t know for sure, we will have keep the eye on entertainment news and hope she doesn’t disappear, cause where ever she goes, you can bet, I’ll be watching.
