Toby Keith says he’s a Democrat…what? Not only that, but he’s supporting Barack Obama in the coming presidential election. Wait…WHAT? I’m so confused!!!!

This is the guy that wrote the September 11th response song called “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American).” Here are some of the very democratic lyrics:

“Now this nation that I love/Has fallen under attack/A mighty sucker punch came flyin in/
From somewhere in the back/Soon as we could see clearly/Through our big black eye/
Man, we lit up your world/Like the 4th of july”

“Justice will be served/And the battle will rage/This big dog will fight/When you rattle his cage
And youll be sorry that you messed with/The u.s. of a./cause well put a boot in your ass
Its the American way”

The song is littered with those sorts of sentiments. Keith claims the song was “…was more patriotic than pro-war.” Um…we’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way…that sound pretty damn pro-war to me.

Not only does Keith sing songs like this, he’s also the spokesperson for Ford trucks…you know, the HUGE ones with low gas millage that you see barreling down the street taking up a lane and a half just to get through…yeah, those. I mean, I know not all democrats are “green crusaders” so to speak, but they at least THINK about the environment every so often.

I’m all for Keith supporting Obama…if it’ll bring in some conservative voters to go the Obama route, more power to him. I just am pointing out a few inconsistencies that I see…I could be completely wrong here. I’m willing to admit that, I’m just not convinced.
