Does anyone remember the song writer Ray Stevens?


Posted: Mar 13, 2010

I thought about posting this on the comedy board, but I figured they would move it to the political board anyway.  I especially like the last bit about the health care workers taking a pay cut.

Well there are many more lines. Especially - you vote Obama care, we'll vote you outta there.

I grew up listening to Ray Stevens music. He's a very gifted and talented song writer.

Yes, one of the great writers of songs lending social awareness. - I remember

learning about streaking from him. What an important piece that and other works of his were at the time. :P

Ah, yes, those "social awareness" songs like Ahab the Arab. - NOT

Any form of conversation in this regard would be a waste of time. Actions speak for themselves.

Yes, it boggles the mind at how much - hatred there is in people

who post things like this. I feel sorry for them in a way. How miserable must they be to feel this way and feel the need to lash out at people they do not even know with this level of hatred? Horrible and miserable way to live.

Agree. Cons should do us all a favor and loosen up. - However

they don't get my sympathy. Their misery is of their own choosing.

Wow, some of you need to lighten up - I did not post this out of

hatred, I posted this because I thought it was funny. I would not have posted to this board at all, but I thought it would be removed from the comedy board to the politic board as it had that sort of message. I found this at random and it caught my attention because of the last lines about taking a job in the medical field with red tape and a pay cut, which most of us can identify with.

Speaking to the post about hating people you don't know, which was not my intent, but I say to you, it takes one to know one.
Actually, my post was in agreement of the post - regarding the "I hate Liberals"
[ In Reply To ..]
post, the social justice posts, and the hostility emanating from those posts. Especially the "I hate libs" post. It was not in response to your post.
Sorry, my apologies. - nm

Apparently A Lot Of Posters Don't Know This About Chris StevensMay 12, 2013
Just catching up on the board and noticed the myth of Ambassador Chris Stevens being "dragged through the streets" repeated several times.  I replied to one such instance below, but I'd like to bring it to the top for any who might not scan the board fully since I think it's really important in terms of anti-Muslim sentiment to try to dispel such a horrible assumption.   Photos of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens Dragged Through the Streets- Fiction!Embassy A ...

They're Reporting Ambassador Stevens Was The One Killed In LibyaSep 12, 2012
It's not confirmed but this is what they're saying. The US is only "nervous" about this? Isn't this a reason for war? After all, embassies around the world are the property of the country that "lives" there. They have attacked the USA. It's a slap in the face that Egypt and Libya did this, especially Libya after the help they were given in their uprising.   ...

Chris Stevens Asked For MORE Back-up A MONTH Before The Attacks!Oct 09, 2012
The American ambassador to Libya sent a diplomatic cable spelling out his worries about the security situation in Benghazi on the day he was killed in a raid on the U.S. consulate, it has been revealed. Chris Stevens told State Department officials that two militias which had been providing security in the city were threatening to withdraw over a dispute about U.S. policy. The news comes at the same time as it has emerged that the head of a special-operations team helping the embassy in Liby ...

Ambassador Stevens "slipped Into Libya On A Cargo ShipSep 12, 2012
This is from ABC News. I think we lost a good guy here. "During the early days of the Libyans' fight to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi, Christopher Stevens wrangled a ride on a Greek cargo ship and sailed into the rebels' stronghold city of Benghazi. He arrived at a time when the crackle of gunfire could be heard each night. Stevens and his team didn't even have a place to stay, but found space in a hotel briefly, moving out after a car bomb went off in the parking lot, acc ...

Stevens Emails Show 'total Disconnect' Between Security Needs In Benghazi, WashingtonOct 19, 2015
The truth is finally coming out. Blocking of Hillary's emails, and thehandling of Ambassador Stevens' request for more security by ignoring his requests is more than despicable.  Who is responsible? Hillary, of course. She was the head of the State Dept. She was totally incompetent as SOS and will be worse than totally incompetent as the president. I hope people will wake up soon and realize she only wants the job because she can siphon off more dollars for her benefit, just like ...

I saw a poll somewhere and it had the 7 best theme songs.  Most of them I wondered how they decided on it.  I'm glad my favorite was on the list.  Sometimes there is a TV show that just has a catchy theme song to it.  Mine has to be "Bad Things" - The song for True Blood.  Catchy tune I could listen to over and over.  What is your favorite?   ...
