Thread Name: Folk Songs for Conservatives
Subject: RE: Folk Songs for Conservatives
My my my. One might conclude that only those of the liberal persuasion can enjoy folk music, if one accepts most of what is written in this thread. Most surprising to me, who considers himself a fiscal conservative (a Goldwater Republican) and loves folk music. I always felt that one of the most attractive traits of those of the liberal persuasion was acceptance of the fact that not everyone is going to share their way of viewing things. It is not so?

So when we sing, "This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land," it's not really true. Funny, I've never felt that way about my friends who are liberals. It's just as much their land as mine. Said with good humor.
