Thats right!! I'm personally sick of hearing about those two!! Also sick and tired of hearing about the idots protesting military funerals....my Facebook status a few days ago read..... ."The US Supreme Court has ruled that you have the right under the First Amendment to protest military funerals... I invite you to start your protest in my front yard and we can see if your first amendment is better than my Second Amendment..." Bring it!! On a better note, wishing I was seeing you tonight in Jackson Mississippi, but instead Im taking the midnight train to Memphis to see you Saturday!! Evansville IN 3-1-11...yep you rocked and again didnt disappoint :) I'll be the one with an illegal smile, you'll see me!!

KR.......My husband and I watched you on Piers Morgan last night. Laughed our butts off when you said "Who the fuck is Piers Morgan?" Ha! We are truly impressed by your character. And thank you for reminding us all to relish in the simple things in life. Respect people, don't lie and be kind. Sometimes life gets so busy with working full time and taking care of our 3 little ones the simple things slip into the back of your mind. We always hope we're raising our children well and teaching them well. Just a great interview. I know you impressed people out there that weren't even "fans" of yours. After last nights interview you have even more. Keep talking, spreading your word. You said before regarding Twitter, "What I have to say really isn't that relevant." NOT true! You are what a true American should stand for. Keep on rockin' and talkin'.

I saw you on Piers Morgan last night and I have to say I was impressed. I let my daughter, now five and a big fan watch. We talked about how we need to have respect for our parents, family, friends and country. I wasn't a huge fan of yours in the past, but have a new found respect and really love your new album. It does my heart good to see my daughter teaching her 79 yr. old Nana the words to Born Free.

Your right!! Thanks for all you do for our troops. I'm a proud Aunt of a Marine, who has served for 14 years. Thanks again for everything you do, your a wonderful person.

To the US Supreme Court has ruled that you have the right under the First Amendment to protest military funerals... I invite everyone to start your protest this church where ever they maybe when they are doing something so disgraceful. They seem to have forgotten many men has died so they maybe free. I say load em all up take them all to the middle-east, drop them off and say have a nice life. I'd dare to say 99% of them would look at what they are doing in a new light. Am sure of it. Been there done that, damn glad to have been ""BORN FREE"

God Bless You!! You are so right! Thanks for all you do for the troops and always honoring and remembering them at your concerts! You rock!!!

Ya know we all live in one big F*CK up world. Hollweird shit making the head lines over them being crazy. I do my best not to even watch their shows! We live in the most powerful nation on the face of this earth.Too many people talk it all for granted. You see the head lines and see stuff from Charlie to Lindsay to same sex marriages, people GOD made Adam and Eva, Not Adam and Steve, Yes I know this not poetical correct, but I say Oh well. And people fight about what a flag means. It's all bullshit! But yet when we have men or women in harms way serving our country and die for us to live free. Yeah your right it's their family's who have to deal with the lose of love one who comes home though Dover Air Force base in a flag draped coffin. And very luck to even get their name mentioned in the nightly news in honor of there service to keep us free. The networks CEO"s should be ashamed. We need to honor each and ever one of them, Any one who picks up a weapon or stand a post and says I won't let you or anyone in your family get hurt tonight, they would have to take my life first! Bobbie, no question why am a fan of yours! I do hope someday I truly get the chance to shake your hand, buy you a BADASS and tell you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Eddie B

My son is a Marine (very proud Momma) Although he is safe in Missouri at this time starting school. I pray there will never be a day I get a call saying "Momma, I'm going over there"... Once he is done with school he will be a CBRN (Chem,Bio,Rad,Nuclear) specialist..Non infantry but he could go anywhere.. I salute all of our troops no matter what branch they are in and my thoughts and prayers are with them and their families every second of everyday..GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS....

Heard this comment today and thought of you. Enjoy! "So the US supreme court just ruled that you can protest at a military funeral under the first amendment. Come protest in my front yard and see if your first amendment is better than my second amendment"

Our best friend is a Marine stationed at the Air Wing Unit in Beaufort, SC...he has been in almost 30 years....to hear the stories first hand and to see what these guys do on a daily basis to keep us safe and putting their own lives at risk for us is remarkable.....God bless them!

I POSTED IT AS MY STATUS!!!! BUT I WAS READING SOMEONE ELSE STATUS AND THIS IS WHAT IT SAID...AND ITS SO SAD...WHY WOULD ANYONE WANNA PROTEST A FUNERAL FOR A FALLEN SOLDIER...THESE PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY AND PEOPLE WANNA PROTEST IT..THIS WORLD HAS COME TO A SHAME I TELL YOU...THIS IS THE STATUS:So the US Supreme Court has ruled that you have the right under the First Amendment to protest military funerals... I invite you to start your protest in my front yard and we will see if your First Amendment is better than my Second Amendment!! God bless our soldiers, past and present

Thank you. We WILL remember them and pass it on. Life is so backwards. Let's give mention to the good in this country. Thank you.

I had 4 in the armed services at one time during 9-11. 2 sons and 2 daughter-in-laws. When I would pick them up for a visit home I would always get a hand shake from someone with praise for the sacrifice they had made. I dealt with my oldest in Iraq when the war started and it's not only combat but the disappointments, morale, most importantly the fact that they just do the job they were trained for! I am so proud of each and everyone of them for what they do! There are peace keeping forces and national disaster branches that also need our support. Thanks to Bob Ritchie for the awareness and help! We LOVE you for the support! On the Chillin the Most cruise we were seated with 2 servicemen at dinner, we felt very honoured to know them and wished them the best!

Don't you know people making a fool of themselves is way more important than real life hero....NOT. If it makes people look bad, stupid, ugly or mean the media is all over it. The "News" is no longer news it is gossip.

Thanks for keeping our soldiers in the forefront!

Dude, Thank you so much for remebering our country's heroes. We all are guilty of spending too much of our time following the antics of the infamous (and famous). Thanks for reminding me, what's really important!! Much Love to you and your family Kamora

It is a shame some will not see another birthday while we all sit here and do the best we can to enjoy life. One from my area came home the same way, giving their life. I don't believe in war. But i believe in our soldiers if that makes sense.
Fred Pickering's picture

These Soldiers gave there lives this week while another went off into his tiger blood , Winning, bullshit on Youtube , twitter and anyone else that would allow. Another group of freaks in KS will protest the very funerals of these Soldiers because there twisted version of amendment rights and free speach. This countrys moral compass is totally off course.
