When Bruce did this, the Bushies called him stupid

But, I suppose this is cool.

Country Music Stars Push Vote Campaign By JOHN GEROME Associated Press Writer HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn.

I’m not going to insult these musicians by calling them Stupid and ignorant, like a friend of mine did of Bruce. Besides I like Ricky Skaggs, he played with Ralph Stanley and Emmylou Harris back in the day. The man’s got mad skills. BTW- like Jackson Browne and assorted others who were claimed to be uneducated, Mr. Skaggs started touring professionally at age 15 and there is no mention of him graduating from any high school. One must assume that he doesn’t have a PhD in Middle Eastern Studies.



And just another note: Mr. Skaggs says that “voting is a God given right”. I think Mr. Skaggs needs to learn his history. Because if God was doling out the voting rights, wouldn’t everyone have the? Like people in Sudan, Soviet Russia, Jews in 1939 Germany, etc. Or even here in America. Where blacks and women could not vote until Congress and the Executive branch provided and enforced that right to vote.

I guess, unless Ricky meant that God gave the vote to property owning white men, then he might have something. But speaking only for Women, it was Congress and the people of Tennessee (August 24, 1920) who provided the needed state ratification of the Amendment to grant women suffrage. So, it really wasn’t God, it was Congress and a majority of State Legislature.

I agree with the sentiment, but God’s getting credit where he doesn’t need it. Again, nothing but love for Ricky’s musical skills, but his civics needs a little work.
