  1. Jerry (Hubbard- real last name)  Reed didn't live that far from me when I was in Franklin Tn. He used to live in Brentwood ( Same county, different town). He called one of the country radio stations in Nashville, when he was real big and Smokey and the Bandit first came out and told the DJ, that he would give him an interview, if he wanted. The DJ laughed at him and didn't believe that it was really him, no matter how hard Jerry tried to convince him. The next day, when the DJ got to work, the manager of the station met him in the lobby and told him,  " The next time somebody calls this station, claiming to be Jerry Reed, you need to believe him!"  LOL!! :)

  2. Only your enemy wants to take your gun....nobody else cares.....think about it! The reason other countries have been invaded and conquered, by their enemies or their own government, is because its citizenry didn't have guns! This is the same reason a tyrannical government doesn't want you to have guns!

     

     As far as the flag goes.....how stupid can so many people be? The south had more slaves than anybody and that was still only 2% of the population! Ever hear the expression, " He sold me down the river!" ,meaning someone betrayed you? The Yankees bought the slaves from Jews, who went to Africa and bought them from other Africans and brought them over here. When the Yankees couldn't get any work out of them, because it was so cold ( These Africans were just off the boat, not acclimatized like Africans today), they didn't want to lose the money they invested, so they put them on rafts and sailed them down the Mississippi to the south and sold them to Southerners. Hence, " They sold me down the river!" America had slaves until 1878. The Emancipatiuon Proclamtion did NOT free all the slaves!! It only freed those in the south, in 1865 at the end of the war, which Lincoln wanted to do, to punish the south for trying to secede. So, the American flag represented slavery from 1776-1878, and the Confederate flag represented slavery from 1861-1865. Hmmm.......somethin's not right here.....

       THE ENTIRE WAR WAS OVER THE SAME THING PEOPLE IN THE U.S.A. HAVE BEEN FIGHTING ABOUT EVER SINCE THIS COUNTRY STARTED!!  IT WAS ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE A SMALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT ( STRONG STATE GOVERNMENT) OR A STRONG, BIG FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ( A BIG BROTHER GOVERNMENT).

     

                                                                        THE WAR WAS NOT ABOUT SLAVERY!!!!!

                                                                         IT WAS ABOUT STATE'S RIGHTS!!

     

    Unfortunately, the winner writes the history books and in this case that was the Federal government....the Yankees!!

  3. Hard, one. but the left one looks like its a repainted door of one of the police cars. So that could be a 7th Generation Plymouth Fury or 1978 Dodge Monaco door I guess.

    The door on the right looks like its from a Ford LTD or maybe one of those white cars sometimes used on the show which looked Like a Ford Torino from the front.

     

    All speculation though.

    This is exactly what I thought.....although they both look red to me!
