Why Does the Bad Man Hate 'Merca Mommy?

Lets get this year started off with a story I found yesterday in the long lost year of 2013.  I sure hope we all get a little smarter as a country this year because this article highlights some of the dumbest words ever to fall out of an American mouth, granted they probably don't have enough teeth to keep those words in but...  It also highlights one reason why Facebook is garbage, providing a platform for any slack jawed yahoo with an internet connection and at least one finger that hasn't yet accidentally seen the business end of a chainsaw, to say stupid shit for the whole world to read.  Maybe even better, I thought Toby Keith was a gun toting, War in Iraq, reactionary from my cold dead hands asshole.  Maybe I'm wrong?  No, I'm not, his restaurant is called, "I Love This Bar & Grill", but this just proves that most of us want to be able to eat a steak in peace.  Amen.  Rabble-B

Toby Keith under fire for no guns policy at his restaurant chain

Gun-toting fans of singer Toby Keith's fans in Virginia are taking aim at the country star over a no-weapons policy at a restaurant he owns in the state.

The "Beer For My Horses" hitmaker's Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill has a 'No guns permitted' sign posted on the front door, even though state law permits firearms owners to carry weapons in dining establishments, and his stance has upset many potential patrons, who have taken to various social media sites to express their anger over the policy.

One Facebook user wrote, "Exactly when did fans of Toby Keith become dumb enough to think a No Guns allowed sign posted by management would protect them from criminals that don't obey the law to start with? Loved the concerts, but none of my money will ever be spent where I can't defend myself." Another fan added, "No guns allowed? Why does he hate America so much?"

Keith has responded to the controversy in a post on the restaurant's Facebook.com page, writing, "While we understand and respect every person's right to own and bear arms, we at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill, with guidance from the State of Virginia and based on insurance regulations, have adopted a no weapons policy. It is our desire to provide a safe, enjoyable and entertaining experience for our patrons and staff."

However, not every person is upset about the rule and some have even applauded Keith for his stance, writing, "Hooray for you!!! I'm a Gun Owning (sic) advocate but booze and guns don't mix well so THANK YOU for providing a fun, safe environment."
