By VictorM: I never listen to country western music, but I’m working in the state of Kansas, so it’s impossible to avoid it.

Today, I listened to this song about a guy who is a happy man. He’s got a house, a piece of land, his ticker is working fine, he’s got some money in a coffee can (at least that’s what I thought he said), the love of a good woman, his brother covers his back (he didn’t say from what), his friends are just a call away to help him, his mom is a saint, and his dad barely survived some illness, but thank God, he’s still with us.

I was trying to figure out just how old this song must be because nowhere did the singer talk about shooting them illegal immigrant scum, disparage faggots, or called us liberal traitors.

So, is the song old enough that hate had not yet become a family value, or it new enough that it signals we’re over the recent bad spell our country experienced? Or, maybe the song just reflects the goodness of most Americans, not of the minority with the megaphone.
