Almost Gone

Rock dinosaurs Crosby, Stills & Nash unveil their latest protest song “Almost Gone,” bemoaning the arrest of Bradley Manning and his pending military trial.

Who’s Bradley Manning? A traitor who violated his oath of office by taking it upon himself to indiscriminately release thousands upon thousands of classified documents.  Not only did he place American soldiers and agents in grave personal danger through his treason, but now he’s trying to escape the moral and legal consequences of his reprehensible act.

Sorry, CS&N. Manning is hardly an innocent babe in the woods or a political prisoner. He’s just a sniveling, confused weasel — a domestic spy — deserving of neither our pity or respect.  And if this flaccid and whiny song is any indication of CS&N’s artistic abilities, these geezers are, in the words of Jackson Browne, running on empty. Time for them to exit — stage left.

  1. thatmrgguy – South Carolina – Hi, I’m Mr. G. Most folks call me Mike for short. I’m a 50ish white male, married with three daughters and seven, count em, seven grandchildren. My wife likes to say we’re survivalists, but I prefer to say we’re just prepared. I build houses for a living and read and comment on conservative blogs for fun. I like to golf, but Phil Mickelson and Bill Haas don’t have anything to worry about…yet. I also like to carve,( or whittle), and build some of my own furniture. I can be found on Twitter @thatmrgguy and Facebook MikeDavid I value others’ views and opinions even though I might not necessarily agree with them. I am not politically correct, don’t believe in it. Like a lot of you, I used to be apathetic towards politics, but since 2006, I found myself wondering what direction this country was heading. I believe it’s going in the wrong direction and hope to do my small part in changing that. Won’t you all join me.

    I used to like CS&N, but I couldn’t listen to more than a minute of that dreck. No wonder Neil Young left the group years ago.
