All this from a guy with two personal bodyguards

His documented ignorance takes my breath away...sad, so very sad.

Strum your guitar, sing "Fire and Rain´, put the guitar away and go home. That´s all we really want you to do - ever.

I have seeen this time and again throughout a long musical career. Gifted musicians and singers that could break your heart with a song being the most ignorant, self absorbed personalities without one.

I agree. Let´s start by taking away Taylor´s rights. I´ll take his money and you all can fight over his other protections.

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Ben Franklin

Will he give up a few of his rights (1st Amendment) and quit making crappy music and stupid speches?

And this is from the party that believes there is nothing wrong with killing 40 million children(abortion). These are some sick individuals.

I have made more than enough sacrifices in my lifetime for national safety, only to have those sacrifices flushed away by communists from within.
Now I sacrifice over 50% of my paycheck in fed, local and state taxes, mostly for boondoggles, graft and lazy people. I´m done sacrificing.
Now you want my irons? Come and get ´em. You wont like your reception.

I´d tell JT to just shut up & sing but he´s way past his expiration date. Too many years on the heroin & sauce.

His music is only good for curing insomnia anyways.

Hey James,Ted Nugent is on the phone!

I think all these celebrities need to lead by example. For example, give away most of their money, truly reduce their carbon footprint to a regular persons and give up all their personal security. I´d also move them into a 2,000 sq ft. house (at most) in a "diverse" neighborhood. After a couple years of that, we´ll talk, but I´m still not giving up my freedoms.

He needs to get back on the heroin. Sobriety does not become him.

Another has been trying to grab 15 more minutes. How many decades has it been since his last hit?

If you want a walking advertisement for not leaglizing Marijuanna..here he is..

James, if you want to sacrifice your constitutional freedoms, be my guest.

Why don´t you do us all a favor and start with your 1st amendment rights and shut the hell up!!!!!

I´m not willing to give up a single one of my rights, but I guess that is why NØbama and Moo-chelle didn´t invite me to their coronation and party to mark the final destruction of the USA!!!

You´re right James. You go first. Give up your bodyguards and take it from there.

Why do we listen to Singers and Actors they are the dumbest people around when it comes to common sense.....What is their Educational back ground....That also includes those Idiots over at MSNBC....What makes them so smart....

too bad he didn´t " second-guess the president, or pretend for a second that I know better than he does" when GWB was president...

Sacrifice is a voluntary offering.

You don´t mandate sacrifice.

Please, James, give up your First Amendment rights.

Soon.

Isn´t it funny how Liberals always want to force everyone else to do their bidding?

What´s ´liberal´ about that?

If Taylor was really concerned about the children he would campaign against the abortion industry.

Sweet Baby James, man. You´re a Mockingbird of the Leftoids. Shower the People with your ignorance, won´t you? How Sweet It Is to ignore your vapid thoughts. Just move to Mexico.

I´m going to be lectured to about ´rights,´ by someone who spent time in a mental ward? WRONG answer moron. Those who give up freedoms for security will have neither. It´s a long proven quote by people a LOT smarter than you Jimmy.

Musicians... what DON´T they know???

That´s the beauty of this country James, you can sacrifice your rights all you want. Nobody is stopping you. Just please stop thinking you can go sacrificing mine.

Ok James, first things first....
No Musicians

I wonder how many of his first amendment (free speech) rights he and the press would be willing to "sacrifice" in order to keep children safe?

Because what could be safer than the children of slaves.

Shut up and sing, you drug-addled old fool.

"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Cross the line in threatening my liberty, and at some point it may very well cost you your life.

What #6 posted.

I´ve bought nearly all of his albums since 1970 and a few concert tickets. I didn´t hire him for his political views. If I were the type to hire hooers, I´d use the same criteria. Neither of them are going to pass laws or sign an order that restricts my freedoms.

Dear James Taylor,

I ´sacrificed´ 34 years of my life in the service of my country and the defense of our Constitution.

I have earned the right to keep my weapons.

You, on the other hand, spit in the face of millions who fought so that you could be free to rake in big bucks.

You have earned only contempt.

Sweet baby, the majority of us feel strongly about Obamacare, but we got it.

Shut up and sing, or better yet, just shut up.

You don´t get a firearm James, you´ve been institutionalized.

Or did you forget?


I support the second amendment, and the twenty-second amendment.

Lead by example bigmouth! Give up your armed security; afterall, if they ever needed to use a firearm to save YOUR life, a child could be killed in the melee. Or are you just spouting jive?

Okay James, then stop singing and turn in your guitar collection to the govn so they can be redistributed - and while you`re at it, since you are a former heroin addict, you cannot be trusted to ever own a handgun.

If you really mean what you say, go live in Cuba or Venezuela for a year as `Anonymous James`, then come back and tell us if you still wish to give up some of your freedom.

What #6 said.

Anyone who wants to keep the bad guys away just turn on some James Taylor music to drive then away!

"Well, we´re big rock singers.
We got golden fingers
and we´re loved everywhere we go.
We sing about beauty
and we sing about truth
at ten-thousand dollars a show."

When I read this article, I couldn´t get this song out of my head...

From what I can gather he would have a hard time passing a background check!

The moron is a Canuk (Canadian)

James doesn´t get it, he is not an American. His rights come from the Queen, ours come from The Creator.

You first James. Or better, go live in another country where they embrace your anti-2nd Amendment attitude.
