Enemy of the People

Here is yet another sign of the new United States version of fascism on the rise. There is a legislator in Texas who wants to name a stretch of interstate for country music legend Willie Nelson. Says the AP article...

"But two Republican senators, Steve Odgen of Bryan and Jeff Wentworth of San Antonio, said they didn't want Nelson's name on the road that crosses their districts, citing the musician's fondness for drinking and smoking, and active campaigning for Democratic candidates."

It's that last little bit that gets me. They kind of betray themselves, though with the smoking and drinking part too. I mean, how many country music legends don't have songs that glorify drinking and smoking?
