Try That in a Small Town??

Jason Aldean is setting liberal asses on fire across the nation. In case you haven't heard, Aldean just released a video of his new song called "Try that in a small town".  The video features news reports and scenes from the summer of 2020 and the riots that took place across the country. He advises against trying that in a small town. 

The Left is ablaze with anger that he is showing videos of the Left's "chosen people" rioting in the streets. The Left wants to know where he got all of these scenes of "mostly peaceful protests". Memo to the Left and their accomplices in the media; people in the Right also have cameras. 

That last paragraph raises a good question. If a police officer has to shoot someone, we are compelled to watch multiple camera angles from anyone and everyone near the scene. But when a police officer is shot or attacked, there is no video. Where are all of the cellphone waving photographers when looters break into a business during a "mostly peaceful protest"? You certainly aren't bombarded with those scenes on the news. Could the "news" be biased?  Does the sun rise in the east?

But I digress, back to the alleged racist, Jason Aldean. Jason's song only illustrates what I thought that everyone already knew, there are two Americas. It is not black America and white America; it is urban America and rural America. But this situation didn't start in America, it has been going on for thousands of years. 

Large cities have always been a problem. The human scum doesn't gather out in the countryside, the scum congregates in the cities where there are more targets. Here's a perfect example, Jesus was born in the little town of Bethlehem. How many of you are now humming "O Little Town of Bethlehem"?  Moving on, Jesus and his family lived in the small town of Nazareth in Galilee, not Jerusalem. There are no records of Pharisees in Nazareth. The resistance to Jesus and his ministry was centered in Jerusalem.  The government was centered in Jerusalem. Jesus's problems really started when he took his ministry to Jerusalem. The story there was all about power. It is beginning to look a lot like America to me.

If you look at the results of Presidential election on a map, you can see the divide in America. The large cities vote Democrat, the countryside votes Republican. 

Large cities are about convenience. The price of that convenience is putting up with the congestion and the criminal element. Criminals inhabit large cities because their victims are conveniently located. Cities are like huge malls for criminals; they offer a wide variety of victims with convenient locations. 

In the interest of "full disclosure", I live in a rural county of less than 25,000 people. Here, we all know that it may take the Sheriff's Department ten or fifteen minutes to respond to a call about a robbery or a burglary. So, everyone has their own plan to deal with criminals. Warning to potential criminals: almost all plans involve shooting the offender. It's not paradise, we have occasional robberies or murders, but it isn't the big city. 

In the summer of 2020, we had a couple of protests in the county seat about the statue of the Confederate soldier in the square. A few windows were broken in downtown, but the Sheriff responded by arresting several protesters. He also placed a deputy at the statue around the clock until the situation settled. When asked by the media, he pointed out that everyone who had been arrested was from out of the county. He asked a media reporter if they knew who was funding protesters' travel to our county.  He didn't get an answer, but the protests ended quickly. If it makes any difference, the sheriff is black.

Why do I tell that story?  "Try that in a small town."

In rural America, you learn to respect the property of others. Rural America is proof that "An armed society is a polite society". 

So, is the video by Jason Aldean "racist"? No, it is worse than racist, it is honest. People claiming that Black Lives Matter are slaughtering each other in large cities. If Black Lives REALLY Matter, why are you killing each other? How do rioters looting stores advance your cause? How does stealing a big screen television demonstrate the value of your life? If you are offended by videos of people burning and looting, stop burning and looting. The media protected criminals by claiming that riots were "mostly peaceful". 

If you are labeling Aldean a racist for showing these pictures, what do you call people who try to deny the images that you see? 

A Tennessee lawmaker is calling Aldean's song a "lynching anthem". Does that make rap music songs "murdering anthems"? What kind of music do you listen to when looting? It ain't country!!
