I will forward to cock sucking faggot American pro-communist who worship shit bag Woody Guthrie. I think the only person with less talent than Woody is piece of shit son Arlo Guthrie.THE OBAMA MONKEY MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844545398932248719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-31564337277793667992016-12-27T20:51:00.206-06:002016-12-27T20:51:00.206-06:00Henry ford was manufacturing for the Nazis, fully ...Henry ford was manufacturing for the Nazis, fully capitalizing off both sides. Woody was a singer who felt his duty was to rally, and held had great power in that. To scold woody for his propaganda songs, you might as well scold every politician who held power and the anti-fascist propaganda they were promoting while they revel in the glory at home while the troops go fight. Same goes or all the owners those manufacturers you named. Woody served regardless and anyone who served the positions he did in that war, would take highly offense to this article as veterans, weather they toted a gun and LITERALLY blew away Nazi's or not. Woody was also not on good terms with the almanac singers and in general he was who he was. He was a singer who did change his tune as fast as politics did the same. Attempting to defame his legend is a bit of a stretch considering the noble attributes which were well accomplished. A complicated thinker he was. But this article needs a lot of work regarding the 'whole picture'. Wall Street funded Hitlers rise. woody came from the a family with a KKK father figure, He was an adoptee, He was toting around on trains in the early 1900's dustbowl depression as a hobo singer. Politics were different back then, life was different. lastly workers in major companies, led labor strikes to the point that it jeopardized the US war effort during WWII. Re All those coal miners and so on, cowards and frauds as well? ---<br /> The president himself even appealed to the striking workers in a speech on May 2, 1943 saying:<br /><br />''I want to make it clear that every American coal miner who has stopped mining coal — no matter how sincere his motives, no matter how legitimate he may believe his grievances to be— every idle miner directly and individually is obstructing our war effort. We have not yet won this war. We will win this war only as we produce and deliver our total American effort on the high seas and on the battlefronts. And that requires unrelenting, uninterrupted effort here on the home front.A stopping of the coal supply, even for a short time, would involve a gamble with the lives of American soldiers and sailors and the future security of our whole people. It would involve an unwarranted, unnecessary and terribly dangerous gamble with our chances for victory.''<br /> Jesse Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404175058422316907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-32321084826554346272015-09-17T12:42:58.684-05:002015-09-17T12:42:58.684-05:00Holy cow is this good.
