Wow, Rascal Flatts have taken a powerful stand for the state of the U.S. on a song from their new "Me and My Gang". Basically it's about how God is trying to be taken out of everything that was initially apart of America's foundations. Interesting!

Here are some of the lyrics:

They tried their best to drag him out
Of a courthouse down in montgomery
Now they want to kick him out of school
And take him off our money
They can take those words off of paper and stone
But he aint gone, no

He ain't the leavin' kind
He'd never walk away
Even from those who dont believe
And wanna leave him behind
He ain't the leavin' kind

She stayed mad at him for a lot of years
For taking her husband
Started losing her faith and thinking that
Her life meant nothin
But when she looks at those kids
She raised all by herself
She knows she had some help
Yeah she knows

*** I have read some reviews about the album, with negative comments about this song in particular because it takes a stand for Christianity. Perhaps if this song was about a one night stand, or getting hot and naked with a lover who "ain't worth leavin" - some people would have a much more positive view towards the song. I find it incredibly distastful as well as degrading that society in general is willing to bash a song about someone's faith - yet praise songs that deal with subject matter that ranges from sex, sex, and sex, and oh, shooting people up, getting drunk so that you can go home with someone, and did I mention having sex with a someone? Ya, that too. Songs like this one from Rascal Flatts takes on refreshing new topics and explorations in music today.

Never heard about that for this song. But anyway, I got this album and it's actually pretty good. It does have a lot of slow songs, but it grows on you. I didn't like Rascall Flatts before this. Its kind of weird, I wasn't a fan of Rascall Flatts at all, I hated their music actually (prefered not to listen to it) and then I go out and buy thier latest cd, I don't get how that works, but whatever. Get the album it's very good.

I think that they have a point... the country was founded on religion, and I am not an all-religious type of person, I don't even go to church or anything. But, I still believe that they should sometimes just leave thing the way they are and always have been.

When someone testifies in court - they are under oath of the Bible... the United States IS a Christian country - other religions are tolerated and all though.

What they need to do away with is the damn moment of silence that they started in 2000 in all the schools - it's ----ing pointless.



And you're right everyone seems to be okay with songs about sex and ----ing around... but when it comes to faith it's like a big deal - when it shouldn't be that way.
