Well at least he isn’t a republican. 

Toby, I love you, but you’re not very self aware.  You are a Conservative. 

Sometimes think the war is necessary
Every night I pray for peace on earth
And I hand down my dollars to the homeless
But believe that every able soul should work

My father gave me my shotgun
That I’ll hand down to my son
Try to teach him everything it means

I stand by my right to speak freely
But I worry ’bout what kids learn from TV
And before all of debatin’ turns to angry words and hate
Sometimes we should just agree to disagree

And I believe that Jesus
Looks down here and sees us
And if you ask him, he would say

I’m a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I’m goin’
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to
Love me if you can

And one of my current faves, “Made in America”:

My old man’s that old man
Spent his life livin off the land
Dirty hands and a clean soul
It breaks his heart seein foreign cars
Filled with fuel that isn’t ours and wearin cotton we didn’t grow

He’s got the red, white, blue flyin high on the farm
Semper Fi tattooed on his left arm
Spends a little more at the store for a tag in the back that says USA
He won’t buy nothin that he can’t fix,
With WD40 and a Craftsman wrench
He ain’t prejudice, he’s just made in America

He loves his wife, she’s that wife that decorates on the 4th of July
But says “Every day’s Independence day”
She’s golden rule, teaches school
Some folks say it isn’t cool but she says the Pledge of Allegiance anyway.

He’s got the red, white, blue flyin’ high on the farm
Semper Fi tattooed on his left arm
Spends a little more at the store for a tag in the back that says USA
He won’t buy nothin’ that he can’t fix
With WD40 and a Craftsman wrench
He ain’t prejudice, he’s just made in America

Born in the heartland, raised up a family
Of King James and Uncle Sam

Toby’s a douche-bag no matter what his political persuasion…but he sure knows how to make self-professed “patriots” fork over the dough.

What exactly makes him a D-Bag?  Just curious.

Just like all the brainwashed blacks. They are philosophically conservative, but for some unexplained and inexplicable reason vote – lemming-like – Democrat.

Calling a fellow Democrat a douche-bag?

Toby says he’s a Democrat – but you say he’s a Conservative. (I doubt he wants you to be his spokesperson.) Sounds like he’s a conservative Democrat.

And Jon Huntsman is a Conservative/Republican – but many Conservatives and/or Republicans insist he’s a RINO or even ‘worse’ – a Liberal.

Why do so many Conservatives/Republicans have such a problem with nuance?

I believe that he thinks he’s a Dem, but the Dem party he was once a part of doesn’t exist anymore.  Join us Toby, we’d be honored to have you!  In fact, we’ll trade you for Huntsman.

Toby sounds as if he’s politically astute enough to know what’s going on. He doesn’t need your help.

Toby just might be the SMARTEST MAN in Country music. I find it hilarious that GOP forgets the Blue Dogs exist-that’s how far to the right the “modern” GOP has shifted-if you don’t fit into their myopic template you’re a communist.

News flash: Who cares?

That’s cute since there’s no room left for blue dog democrats in today’s Democrat party.  People like Maddow reserve a special kinda hate for blue-dogs.   

Brad Paisley’s also a Democrat.

I go in and out of liking Toby and Brad based on this knowledge….haha

Her head will explode in 2012.

Toby is whatever is hot at the moment.He backed Bush when it was cool,jumped on the Obama bandwagon when it was cool,then was quoted somewhere in between at being an Independant,now he’s a Democrat again.I don’t even think HE knows what he is.He’s for whatever side can make him the most money.

I think he knows what he thinks and it’s pretty presumptuous of you to think you know better, frankly. But from what I read of you on here I’m not surprised at your gall.

If you had some sense you’d know the GOP of today has pushed people
away in disgust. Average people don’t want to listen to
bigots that think gay people shouldn’t serve openly in defense, don’t want to listen to extreme religious zealots, don’t want to have everlasting wars, etc etc.

You just don’t realise just how far your beliefs verge from the average person. Stop telling people you know them better than they do. You don’t. You don’t understand anyone that isn’t extreme right in nature and probably never will as you only have contempt for the 90% of people that disagree with you. Yes, I’ve long suffered from reading your venomous windbag posts and am well acquantied with your ways..

A disappointed CON

If partisan-news dictates your arts consumption; you must like a lot of crappy music and movies

I’m black and I’m in no way brainwashed. I’m a life long Democrat because I stay with the ones the brought me, and of course my values and ideals align with Democratic ideas and values. I’m pro life myself, but believe to each her own as far abortions go, I don’t think abortion should be outlawed. I believe in God, but not man’s church. I agree with and like most the Dem’s social programs. On and on. I once voted for a republican in 1992, George H W Bush, (bit my lip and over looked the Willie Horton thing), because I couldn’t stand Bill Clinton (still can’t). However I sat out 1996. Lyndon Johnson is the POTUS I most admire ( for now, could change).  No my man I’m not brainwashed, quite the opposite. I’m a Democrat because I live in reality.

Alex, He’s a musician that sells his music.  He also likes to live large and is very “patriotic”.

Whether he is “politically” left or right; the man likes to sing in videos that favor beating the sh*t out of your enemies against waking up next to the warmth of your liquor cup.

Some of us enjoy being southern without the automatic stereotypes.

I’m ultimately northern…I don’t scream at the first sight of snow.

Which is of course why Toby keeps showing up on The Colbert Report, fully a half dozen or more years after right wingers finally figured out the gimmick.

So, either you’re saying Toby is LESS SELF-AWARE THAN YOU ARE -

which, IMHO, is something that would force physicists to reexamine all of Newton’s laws and Einstein’s theories and the verities contained in the Standard Model of physics in this universe,

Ahma gonna just assume ol’ Toby knows EXACTLY who he is and let it go at that.

Ooo ooo I think I may have the answer: because to think otherwise would be to risk hurting their little brains.

See, ol’ Tobs don’ wan’ no such trade. Ol’ Tob loves country music the way some folks love jazz, or rhumba, or pop, or classical, or opera, or rock, or punk, or whatever – and they ain’ no ideological litmus tests in lovin’ any o’ those styles of music.

Man up Mic: Toby is just what he says he is, and he’s where he wants to be, an’ y’all gonna have to figger out a way to live with that.

Jes’ like how you figger out howta deal with all them other life mysteries you cain’ hardly handle.

As Colbert points out, Toby’s been over to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops more than anyone else in US history, well ahead of his two closest challengers in that, Bob Hope and Al Franken.

Yup, that’s right: Al Franken. So, two of the 3 most active USO celebs are Democrats, and one is fer sure a librul, an’ t’other is probably a card-carryin” one. Not even sure about Hope bein’ conservative, given he himself admitted that he voted for FDR ever’ single time he could.

If he is selling a product and expects to make a profit for his efforts, he certainly isn’t a democrat by todays standards. Just that idea alone would keep him out of obama’s circle and the OWS crowd. He just hasn’t realized he is a conservative yet.

When republicans find out that a person is a democrat, they begin with the nasty name-calling and hateful messages.  That’s apparently the “new so-called Christian hypocrite” 

that trader! all the inbreeders were counting on you.

My grandson, Lt (03) Seth Elliott Short is a Naval aviator & had the privilege of flying Toby Keith around in a C2 Greyhound whilst he was in Bahrain including out to the USS Enterprise, the oldest (@50) nuclear carrier, in fact the 1st. I’m really sorry to hear that he is a registered dem.

The democrat party benefits from placing people on the government system. Most welfare recipients vote democrat so they can keep their benefits…the republicans want to put people to work so they pay their fair share of taxes and are not a burden on their community… Which do you think is better for the country? Btw more democrats voted AGAINST civil rights in the 60′s than republicans…look it up

Look idiot if every black in the USA were to get on welfare and stay on it for life, maybe just for what our families have been through, and did for OUR, black people’s, country (see dumb ass blacks were not allowed to come in via Ellis Island, my ancestors have been here since 1492) maybe we would break even. The same old tired worn out talking points. Shove it, you look as stupid as they (reps bosses) say you are. Your sorry asses are the ones living off the Govt tit. If not for welfare most of you poor nonworking and working poor whites would be pitiful. When FDR put in welfare in the early 1930s it was only for single white mothers. Stayed that  way until LBJ’s great society in mid1960s. Same with Social Sec, no farm workers, miners, domestics or any labor jobs black folks could only get. You look that up. I’m a democrat because lazy ass creeps like you make up the republican party. Creeps that only know how to repeat the un reality that is the republican’s party mantra. To follow the nonsense they tell you to follow, but hey all that crap makes you feel superior power to you. Hell you people like you been living great, very well off the blood, sweat and tears of others since the Mayflower. Most republicans vote republican because they want things to go back to the times of i900s.When there was no min wage, no safety regulations, when kids died from lack sunshine because they worked in factories dawn til dust, never seeing the daylight. But by far the main reason someone like you long for that time is the fact that dumb ass back breds could look down on and do as you please to others that had darker hues than you, with no consequence. FU+K that lame ass crap, you live in lala land. Bad Luck with that. And good ole boy please don’t tell me about  civil rights as to dem vs reps, Yes the dixiecrats that did not want blacks to be able to stand up to and have the same right as whites voted down civil rights, When it did not go their way guess where they went? Hey you are republican, As I said, you live in lala land. You are pitiful. They care as much about your poor white asses as they do about any minorities. You are as stupid as they say you are. No joke,

I see we found out who the rascist is! blacks only make up 12% of th American population. We currently have almost 46 million families receiving foodstamps. I was not born rich (andmy family NEVER OWNED SLAVES)and im NOT RICH NOW(actually i received reduce lunch in school). However i have Paid taxes for the past 26 years and currently 47% dont PAY ANY FEDRAL INCOME TAX. NOBODY OWES YOU A DIME. If you dont make it in America you either have health issues or you are lazy. The govt provided you with a FREE EDUCATION. Everyone has a choice of HOW TO USE IT. EXAMPLES can be found in herman cain and barrack Obama. Both came from nothing and look how far they have made it ON THEIR OWN… Ps im a libertarian not a republican

Poor Tober55 – It is so sad to hear you haven’t realized that the democrats in public office, particularly the black “lawmakers” have been promising the black community to elevate them by expanding the welfare system when all it does is “keep you on the plantation”, where they want you to stay so that they can continue to exploit you. Just what have they done to make the black community prosper??? Seems to me that it just remains the same. LBJ took the man/husband/father out of the family by replacing him with a govt handout which creates dependency, on & on & on. Take people like Condoleza Rice, Justice Clarence Thomas & Herman Cain. They all came from poor families. Poor? Yes, but their parents & in many cases had grandparents that raised & nurtured them to believe in themselves, to work hard to acheive which they have, very noticeably. As long as the black people in America follow the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton & their ilk, they will never get out of their current circumstances. Jackson & Sharpton will do everything to keep you down, otherwise they would have no power!!!!! Have you ever heard of Starr Parker, former welfare mother? Study her life history & then look in the mirror & ask yourself “who do I have to blame for my station in life?” No doubt, you will be looking @ the face of your circumstance. May the Good Lord change your heart, for you head will follow.

Of the 46 mil, whites get more food stamps than all the minorities combined. The 47%, most are white, You are right, no ones owes me anything. I made my own way, and I have a pretty good life. I worked for almost 35 years, I did what I was suppose to make it. As for that other gibberish you said I don’t know why you said that stuff since you also got a  free ed. Bad try at a turn around huh. Oh well.  

Poor you, same old dumb bull. Save it, I don’t care about your lala land thoughts. or the political leanings of anyone you mentioned. I’m a dem, will stay that way.

What current circumstance of you talking about? Most black people are living as good as I am. But of course there’s your lala land again.

 This is from 2011. Supporting Obama is no longer cool. Anarchy, Ron Paul, and Rocky Anderson are cool. Toby Keith was never that right wing. The Dixie Chicks actually started that feud. “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue” (a terrible song, I agree) was performed for the troops and released because they told him to, and had nothing to do with the Dixie Chicks. And I am hardly a Bush supporter or a war supporter.

 I love it when people make fun of the South and then make a grammar or spelling mistake.
