Yep Tyler, your right "no big deal"!
Just ask anyone who has served in the military for this country if it is a big deal.

It really shouldn't be any bigger a deal than say...................the,

Miss White America Pagent
White Entertainment Channel
White Expo
Cucasion College Fund
The Congressional White Caucus

Yep Tyler, "no big deal" but if I were you, on this day the 4th of July, if you don't do anything else today, THANK A VETERAN FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

Thank you to all that have served and are serving today! HAPPY 4TH of JULY TO ALL!

When you talk to veterans remember the white, black, red, and yellow veterans who fought and died for FREE SPEECH....and maybe listen to Johnny Cash's song..the Ballad Of Ira Hayes...about an Indian at Iwo Jima...listen to it.

God Bless America

Nothing divisive in your contribution to the thread. The thread that you say has no business here yet you contribute 3 times to it? You’re about as intelligent as someone who buys a house next to race track and then complains about the noise.
There, now it’s racing related!

Raceway video..I am just saying there are larger problems than a song sang before a DENVER city council meeting.

Problems like lack of body armor...lack of care for our troops returning from Iraq..At one point...the TV show Nightline was under fire by pro war propogandists for posting photos and names of our troops killed in action in Iraq...But you complain about a song.

Why don't you take this where it originated...picket the Denver City council...or the NAACP?...

A song written in 1899?...You are a little late on this.

I have had my say...out.

Godspeed

Thanks, Tony. Before that post, I never even considered what the political perspective behind the Rumble Series or any other Tony Barhorst promotion might be.

Jerry, Correct...It is all about racing with me. I suggested he take his song monitoring of non racing events elsewhere.

Freedom means free to sing what you want, when you want as long as it doesn't have the seven dirty words in it. I come from the George Carlin camp of noticing the absurd.

Listened to Ballad Of Ira hayes yet..?...I stand with Johnny Cash also...

Who has a problem with that?....Bring it on!

POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE???...I am all about SMALL businesses...who have been drubbed during the last 8 years while George Bush holds hands with Saudi leaders...look those photos up on the net.

NOTHING IS WORSE FOR RACING THAN $4.00 Plus gas...Who has been in charge?

My point to you is that first you complain
about a non racing thread that is clearly not racing related by the title, yet you contribute to it 4 times now. You also complain about it being devisive yet you end your post with a divisive comment. You just seem to be a little bit confused to me, and your "Daily Kos" rant confirms it.

The facts are...This war in Iraq is costing TRILLIONS...we take over a country FULL OF OIL RIGS...AND THE PRICE GOES UP??????
