Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review calls herself K-Lo. She wishes Jason Aldean would play nice and not record songs like Try That In A Small Town. Liberals are upset that Aldean’s video reminds people of the mostly violent protests libs staged in 2020 over the drug-overdose death of a fentanyl peddler named George Floyd. She said it was not helpful of him to point out the senseless Knock Out game that has young BIPOC youths sucker-punching old Asians and white people.
When I have seen people criticize the Rappers, the violent songs anyway, the old comeback was they were singing about their 'culture'. Havent seen that excuse in a while. I always thought that was another soft bigatory of low expectations.
Being personally responsible used to be an American trait. Now everyone is a victim of their race, their bad parents or whatever else they can come up with. I think our country would be way better off if we brought back consequences of our actions or at least taught that there are consequences to our actions, both good and bad.
You nailed it. The scarlet letter was not only for adultery, but for being arrested, doing drags, etc. now, it is a badge of honor to be arrested, wxmyn brag about their abortions, open drug use is cool. Shame was a powerful preventative. No shame, no morals. What a shame.
Yeah. The abortion thing really throws me. Women who boast how many they had like being too irresponsible to use birth control is somehow commendable? It's like boasting about not paying loans back. I should trust you with anything?
And honestly, who the hell decided we should be discussing our sex lives in public? I don't care what you do as long as you don't scare the poodles. (I don't have horses)
Agreed, but one has to have a very high regard for their own honor and integrity first. These women who openly brag about using abortion as a form of birth control are really telling us that they have little regard for human life and their own self -esteem, but they cannot admit that fact to themselves so they flaunt it like it is some kind of joke or as you say, a badge of honor. They are really sad little people who care nothing about life or others except for themselves.
Shame would wash all over a lady when she was told her slip was showing, or that her seams weren't straight. Shame wasn't in short supply, even in the poor times.

If you watch the video and pause it, the creators made a conscious decision to portray almost exclusively white people or race-neutral images. There are no BLM signs, nothing to identify these riots as BLM riots. So basically the video is a Rorschach test of a kind. If you see the video as referring to black people, that's on you. Those are your attitudes about black people you're placing on the video, not Jason Aldean's. And that is the great flaw of much of the criticism of the video. We have a bunch of supposedly "enlightened" liberals who see the violence in this video and blame it on black people, which is hilarious and telling.
Yes, it is telling. They are proving that they are the racists. But we already knew that.
A lot of the BLM protests and marches that I saw were largely made up of white college aged females. And a lot of the riots were heavily populated with Antifa guys who tend to be young and white.
You are right. I love the Rorschach test analogy. We all see through the filters of our own lives and experience (which was the basis of projective tests like Rorschach). Very telling of liberals and their core "values".
That is very deep. You probably recall early in this (mis)administration Biden opined that a minority had just as much intelligence as a white person. He has his standards -- somewhere -- and I have mine.
Just as Magritte painted "Ceci n’est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe), Aldean's song is not violence. It is not about violence. It is speech. Blessed are those who thirst for righteousness. People arguing otherwise are spiritually blind and deaf.

As I recall, National Review used to be the conservative go-to for commentary. Today, it is an empty shell of its former self. I think the only ones left are the neocons who help the uniparty. K-lo is nothing but a reminder of their failure to me.
Country music has become "hollywoodized" in the last 10+ years. The writers and performers are more cross-over pop singers if they want to make it. County Music Television (CMT) was the first to drop Aldean's song in response to the liberal outcry. The deep state is attacking one of the last strongholds of constitutional conservatism. Nashville, CMT, and the music producers are liberals. They are taking control of the genre to destroy the backbone of country music. The song writers are slowly following suit. One by one the country music stars are shifting their public statements to support the liberal agenda (Reba and Garth Brooks). You are beginning to see it in some lyrics too.
Our small gains (Bud Light) in fighting back are gratifying, but we are facing a tsunami. The only option is to fight back harder. Enough is enough.
Yep. Ever listen to Hillary Clinton try to explain why she did something or why she was supporting a certain agenda? The woman could talk for twenty minutes and never make a cogent point about the topic. The media has taken that one step farther by taking an issue or topic and twisting it to a point where it supports their Marxist agenda and then pretending that their comments were non-biased. This is straight out of the old Pravda playbook.
You are spot on about them trying to take away real country music.
I listen to old country - 80s and back. Real country music. Aldean’s song is one of the few new songs I’ve listened to. I’d never heard of him until the liberals made a stink about this song. Brooks has gone off the rails. His wife is a Food Channel leftist so that may explain that.
I’ll keep listening to great songs like Red Neck, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer.
The Review was a very right leaning company. But in the end, you need people to buy what you are selling in order to stay in business so they sold their souls for a paycheck. They could sure do a better job of telling the truth today but I guess lying and ignoring the truth sells more papers.
Ironically, their cancel response originated from Maines’ criticism of GW Bush. While I supported GWB back then, I agree with Maines today. GWB is a neocon traitor.
CMT, formerly country Music Television is owned by the now-named Paramount Global, the successor to ViacomCBS.
Their 'Paramount Media Networks' encompasses the pay television channels owned by Paramount in the United States such as MTV, Nickelodeon, Showtime, Comedy Central, TV Land, Paramount Network, Logo, CMT, Pop TV, Smithsonian Channel, The Movie Channel and Flix, as well as controlling its production facilities for the listed channels above, including Nickelodeon Animation Studio and MTV Entertainment Studios.
It is the mainstream pop culture zeitgeist--in other words, indoctrination by propaganda.
I fought back by cutting the cord and dropping cable TV.
NR has never been the same since he died. Breitbart has never been the same since Andrew died, and someone "bought off" Drudge. It has been a slow erosion of our Constitutional foundation. Thank God for Substack and writers like Don Surber.
John Mellencamp is a poseur extraordinaire second only to the unscrupulous knave of Asbury Park, New Jersey.
What that writer thinks is a nice song, is no paean to small towns and small-town life. She's an idiot.
"I...wonder when they will admit conservatives have a point too."
Wonder no more - because they will never concede we are right, let alone have a point.
"We know why. Liberals demand perfection from conservatives."
True - and all too often we acquiesce. False equivalency using whataboutism is among the left's favourite in its playbook.
In legitimate debate, conceding your opponent's point in order to flip it to help make your own argument is a valid tactic, and we would do well to stop extending the benefit of the doubt that any leftist wants a debate to better understand their opponents because that isn't their goal - their goal is to silence us using our own good will against us.
She's no liberal. She's worse - she's a sheep.
"...and once again, National Review made the wrong choice."
Should we have expected anything else?
Free Speech is the winning option, today. Mr. Aldean may not always be right, but free speech will always be protected by the constitution.

Rappers for decades have also been denigrating women via name-calling using, bitches, whores, baby mamma, etc. But the Left and its pink-pussy-hatted feminists are always silent about the Left’s virulent misogyny. They bill it as ‘it’s part of their culture’.
Now they are trying to eliminate woman via transgendering, as JK Rowling has pointed out and been savaged for it. And once again, the “feminists” either support it or are silent.
Leftist and feminists hate everything. Any of my posts where I bring up homosexuals, I constantly say they are in capable of love. Needless to say, love of ones groin is hardly love. Even with heterosexuals, any relationship based on sex can NEVER last.
For sure, the trannies have 'knifed' feminism and because there's been no response we can assume the movement is dead or rendered sterile, void, etc. It's run its course.
Harming Human beings, is against human extinct, freedom promotes unity, Division promotes chaos and pain.

A friend of mine, who buy's into the all the lies, thrown at the Americans of our proud country, took offense of a statement I made, about the cowards, paid by the illegal Regime, who fraudulently stole my vote They would never set foot in my county.
He stated, "What would you do if BLM/Antifa attacked your town." I laughed out loud. "What's so funny?" his voice quivered and offended.
I answered, "Well, first I would have had to fight my way thru my County Sherriff and his loyal Deputies, to get near those criminal miscreants, while they chased these traitors, out of our town, out of our county and come 2024, out of our country. I wish no one any harm, as long as they stay away from my God, my dirt, my family and our way of life. I welcome debate, you can spew your hate, as long as you obey the laws, of the beacon of civilization, our Constitutional Republic, the most liberal government in history." Do you have a problem with the moral virtue of an individually free American?
Welcome, open your mind to the true path of a free man, If you don't like it, fine, as long as you live in the lines of the law, in the United States of America. You should try it, It doesn't suck
Kathryn Jean Lopez is one of those like Mitch McConnell who would still today make a speech on the senate floor about the criticality of bipartisanship like it’s still the 1980s and nothing new has happened since.
The Presidency of DJT outed the deception of the Faux-conservative bunch of liars like that whole NR crew, for being just another faction of the Uniparty.
Trump delivered on more true conservative policies and issues during his one term than any so-called conservative official - President or otherwise - had ever accomplished - ever! And they HATED him for it. It was one of the most stunning revelations during that unprecedented time more so than even the exposure of the whole fake news media.
They NEVER meant a word they said about true conservatism and now they’re just a bunch a useless, angry grifters trying to please their lefty overlords. Disgusting and shameful.
Thank you Jason Aldean for writing and singing the TRUTH. With God on our side, we need to keep speaking the truth in every opportunity presented to us. Wokeness, Marxism permeate every American institution, thanks to dingbats like Lopez. 75 million of us can counter their agenda and turning their methods and tools against them. Hooray for our beautiful Federal Republic! Hooray for our founders! Hooray for the goodness of America. Hooray for mom and apple pie! Hooray for our beautiful national anthem! Hooray for our Judeo-Christian founding! And… hooray for so much more!!
ANOTHER tough POLL: Both answers have great merit.
John (Cougar) Mellencamp is a socialist? Who knew? When did he give away all his wealth and take a vow of poverty?
It's the same hypocrisy as going after Aldean's song; the Hollywood left screams the virtues of socialism and high taxes, etc., while living their libertarian life of wealth and commensurate freedom behind their guarded gates.
The Likes of Lopez patronize just about anyone who doesn’t live in their protected and elevated environment. Their arrogance and pretentiousness is worse than the credentialed liberals, but springs from the same source. They believe they will never be bothered by the messiness and inconvenience of radical barbarian violence. If you’re in the wrong place wrong time you must be doing something wrong. Yuck. It’s creepy when disdain oozes like that. She’s really guilty of the sin of pride.
50 years ago the song would have been titled “Try that in America.” Now God fearing , good people are reduced to a small town. I could care less what stupid people say, let alone sell out traitors. Aldean’s song expresses the hypocrisy of our times. In addition, it exposes the “pass” once again that liberals give to the violent rap culture’s noise.

This ‘b’ is trying to tap into the Judeo-Christian ethics of ‘Turn the other cheek’ and ‘Do unto others…’ that she knows we conservatives have been fed at our parents table since we were children. Where has it gotten us!
‘F’ that! ‘F’ her and ‘F’ that other ‘b’ that wants us to chill out over the massacre caused by the vaccines and Covid.
If we… as old as most of us reading this are, don’t get off our asses and say no, never, I’d rather die first, we and more importantly our kids and grandkids are going to be walking around in uni-grey uniforms, our heads bowed, shuffling slowly home after a day sweeping the streets to our meal of bugs and mystery meat.
These criminals, deviants and psychopaths need to be held responsible for their actions, tried and if found guilty, executed the same day.
They forget - or probably don’t even know - that Jesus Himself went into the Temple and whipped the money changers and overturned all their tables and generally wrecked the place.
That’s what we need now as they made this country “a den of thieves”.
Good point. There is a time to fight like hell. Many mainstream denominations have adopted extreme liberal views to remain “socially relevant”. I think one thing Jesus did was overturn the mainstream society of his time but our churches are trying to mimic mainstream society.
They also hate it because it is the basis of morality. Deep down, they know how evil some of the things they do are, but they want to do them anyway and not have to answer for them.
I think it was about 8-10 years back, Nancy Pelosi announced with enthusiasm a structured “new initiative” to bring the churches into the social justice movement. It has had much success and poisoned many previously spiritual people. They were eager to “get a badge” for supposedly being “spiritual” because they supported liberal political beliefs.
Marxism borrows the outer wrappings of religion to appeal to people—e.g. Obama developing his oratorical style from watching Rev. Wright sermonize. Marxists usurp a person’s natural and instinctive desire for spirituality and yoke it to the “woke” ideology. Someday the mask will come off and the atheistic hatefulness of Marxism will be recognized.
I think the only denomination who has succeeded with this model is the Unitarians, who never believed anything anyway. Perhaps the best examples of this "split" are the religious energy created by conservative catholic dioceses versus their more liberal ones, and the fissure of Lutheranism where the two more traditional branches tower over their shrinking and soon to disappear more liberal sects.
Liberal churches usually believe in nothing. And once it becomes obvious you believe in nothing, your parishioners start wondering why they are still showing up.
The churches are now pretty much left of centre. I have no interest in attending. I pray to God every day and give thanks. That's my church substitute, for better or worse. What I noticed in Canada is that we, as in quite collectively, stopped going to church regularly in 1972. I've had that discussion with a few people my age and we all agree that 1972 was the year it stopped. Sign of the times then??
When I have seen people criticize the Rappers, the violent songs anyway, the old comeback was they were singing about their 'culture'. Havent seen that excuse in a while. I always thought that was another soft bigatory of low expectations.

We need to bring back shame too.

Shame would wash all over a lady when she was told her slip was showing, or that her seams weren't straight. Shame wasn't in short supply, even in the poor times.

That was perfect example of shame!!
What this country did to returning vets wasn't shame, the people who did it SHOULD be ashamed of their conduct.

Yep, I noticed the absence of POC in the video too. I assumed that was very deliberate.
But, but, but the courthouse.
That everyone including Miley Cyrus has shot films in front of? They had to go digging for that one, and it wasn't even his decision.
That is very deep. You probably recall early in this (mis)administration Biden opined that a minority had just as much intelligence as a white person. He has his standards -- somewhere -- and I have mine.
Listen long enough and they'll always tell you what they really think.
Biden also said his drug addicted and whore chasing 'son' was the smartest person he knew.
Might be the only true thing Joe Biden ever said. We hear echoes from the bottom of THAT barrel.
Just as Magritte painted "Ceci n’est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe), Aldean's song is not violence. It is not about violence. It is speech. Blessed are those who thirst for righteousness. People arguing otherwise are spiritually blind and deaf.
It’s a prayer for righteousness.
And clearly a warning that a people love and defend their community

The last genuine throwback to real country music was George Strait - anyone since (with the possible exception of Chris Knight), are pale imitations.
Did you forget Tom Hall?Watermelon Wine anyone?
Mr. Hall was part of the generation that made C&W music great! He preceded Mr. Strait by a generation, at least.
Good callout, anyway!
Thank you!!!
Excellent song.
Flatt and Scruggs man here,
But Strait did some good stuff. Lori Morgan, Pam Tillis, not them T and A pop-star-wannabees.
Most of the modern stuff is just bad rock and roll.
Yes. PBR had better never go "Bud Light"!
Good old ice cold PBR! Music? Hard to pick a favorite, but Chet Atkins on his acoustic guitar comes mighty close.
He was great.
Johnny Russell?
Yessiree!! It is not only one of the best song titles ever, but it is a real good song.
Also enjoyed John Andersons Seminole Winds album.
Great voice. Love “Would You Catch A Falling Star”.
The voice is reminiscent of Hoyt Axton a great writer.

Garth is no less a poseur than are the unscrupulous knave and the walking cold-sore from Indiana - he's in that group photo.

Good point. There is a time to fight like hell. Many mainstream denominations have adopted extreme liberal views to remain “socially relevant”. I think one thing Jesus did was overturn the mainstream society of his time but our churches are trying to mimic mainstream society.
Judeo-Christianity is the foundation and basis for all classical liberal Western Democracy.
That’s why they hate it.
They also hate it because it is the basis of morality. Deep down, they know how evil some of the things they do are, but they want to do them anyway and not have to answer for them.
I think it was about 8-10 years back, Nancy Pelosi announced with enthusiasm a structured “new initiative” to bring the churches into the social justice movement. It has had much success and poisoned many previously spiritual people. They were eager to “get a badge” for supposedly being “spiritual” because they supported liberal political beliefs.
Marxism borrows the outer wrappings of religion to appeal to people—e.g. Obama developing his oratorical style from watching Rev. Wright sermonize. Marxists usurp a person’s natural and instinctive desire for spirituality and yoke it to the “woke” ideology. Someday the mask will come off and the atheistic hatefulness of Marxism will be recognized.
I think the only denomination who has succeeded with this model is the Unitarians, who never believed anything anyway. Perhaps the best examples of this "split" are the religious energy created by conservative catholic dioceses versus their more liberal ones, and the fissure of Lutheranism where the two more traditional branches tower over their shrinking and soon to disappear more liberal sects.
Liberal churches usually believe in nothing. And once it becomes obvious you believe in nothing, your parishioners start wondering why they are still showing up.
The churches are now pretty much left of centre. I have no interest in attending. I pray to God every day and give thanks. That's my church substitute, for better or worse. What I noticed in Canada is that we, as in quite collectively, stopped going to church regularly in 1972. I've had that discussion with a few people my age and we all agree that 1972 was the year it stopped. Sign of the times then??
