(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Charlie Daniels passed away on Monday morning. He was 83 years old. Daniels was an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump and a real patriot. He spoke out often about the times we are living in and loved to call out the Democrats and the radical leftwing “protesters.” Daniels had some parting words that are going viral and are causing the leftists to go nuts. Don’t miss this.
We often wrote articles on Charlie Daniels. His words of wisdom really hit a chord with patriotic Americans. We were so saddened to hear about his passing Monday morning, but we were also so happy to learn some of his final thoughts were going viral.
“The Grammy-nominated country music firebrand Charlie Daniels has died of a stroke at 83; had hit with ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia,'” Breitbart reports. “A statement from his publicist said the Country Music Hall of Famer died Monday at a hospital in Hermitage, Tennessee, after doctors said he had a stroke.”
He had suffered what was described as a mild stroke in January 2010 and had a heart pacemaker implanted in 2013 but continued to perform.
Daniels, a singer, guitarist, and fiddler, started out as a session musician, even playing on Bob Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” sessions. Beginning in the early 1970s, his five-piece band toured endlessly, sometimes doing 250 shows a year.
“I can ask people where they are from, and if they say `Waukegan,′ I can say I’ve played there. If they say `Baton Rouge,′ I can say I’ve played there. There’s not a city we haven’t played in,” Daniels said in 1998.
Daniels performed at the White House, at the Super Bowl, throughout Europe and often for troops in the Middle East.
He played himself in the 1980 John Travolta movie “Urban Cowboy” and was closely identified with the rise of country music generated by that film.
“I’ve kept people employed for over 20 years and never missed a payroll,” Daniels said in 1998. That same year, he received the Pioneer Award from the Academy of Country Music.
This morning on social media, patriots started posting one of Charlie’s sayings, which is also one of the last things he said on Twitter just hours before he died.
“Benghazi ain’t going away!!” Daniels tweeted on July 5.
Benghazi ain’t going away!!

Leftists went nuts over the Benghazi saying going viral.
“#BenghaziAintGoingAway, one of Charlie Daniels’ final tweets, is trending because the MAGA murder cult is A-OK with Putin’s bounties on our soldiers, they only care about accidental deaths on The Black President’s watch. Because they’re racist traitors. Enough with euphemisms,” tweeted one very upset leftwing loser.

General Michael Flynn tweeted: “Rest In Peace Charlie Daniels. To Charlie’s family, you will forever remain in our hearts and prayers. Charlie will now be one of the great warriors fighting for America and bringing his music to heaven.”

Daniels was vocal against Black Lives Matter. On June 9, he made headlines for saying: “God’s In Control, But Owning 12-Gauge Doesn’t Hurt.”
“Just because there are people busting up storefronts and setting police cars on fire, never believe there are enough of them to overcome our society, that’s what they desperately want you to believe and panic from fear,” he declared.
“If you don’t own a firearm, get one and it doesn’t have to be a 9mm semi-automatic or an AK-47. Get something you can handle and are not afraid of,” Daniels advised.
“The more basic, the better,” Charlie added. “The best home protection I know of is a double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun with hammers you cock by hand before you shoot, it doesn’t jam and when loaded with double aught buckshot and both barrels fired simultaneously, can take down any three people coming through your front door.”
Charlie then reminded Americans that God is in control:
That there are things that happen in this world that man has no control whatsoever over.
A farmer can plant a seed, but he can’t make it grow.
A baby can be delivered into the world, but no one can make it start breathing.
A doctor can treat, prescribe medicine and perform surgery, but he cannot heal.
All these things require the touch of the Creator’s hand, to cause a seed to grow, a baby to breathe, a medicine to heal and the answer to a cure for a deadly pandemic.
God operating in His way and His time, the Bible says His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts.
You can believe this now or you can believe it later, but believe it, you will.
In one of his final blog posts from June 26, Charlie told us it’s time to “pick a side.”
“The time is swiftly coming in America when everybody who cares about having a future is going to have to pick a side,” Daniels wrote.
“When you get past the very thin patina of ‘peaceful’ protest and look beyond the fallacy that violence and destruction brings about racial equality, you have to come to the conclusion that there is a radical fringe of people who would literally burn this country down, given the opportunity,” he declared.
“This is a revolutionary street battle against America and everything we stand for and it IS funded and lead by socialist factions, and it’s not just in the US but in many democratic nations around the world,” he added. “In other words, an all-out socialist attack on our Republic.”
Daniels also explained part of the problem is “the laxity of the curriculum we have allowed to be taught in our schools and the doctrine that socialist university faculties have drummed into the heads of our young people is coming home to roost.”
“One of the first tenets of communism is destroying and discrediting history and the destruction of historical statues is just that,” Charlie warned. “Communism cannot exist where there is a strong belief in God and now there is a move afoot to remove any statues of Jesus Christ.”
“So, America, in the next few months you’re going to have to make a choice, about how far you’ll be pushed, the priorities of your vote, the kind of world you want your children to grow up in and which side of this debacle you stand on,” Daniels said. “Stand tall or crawl, those are the choices.”
Charlie Daniels wasn’t a college graduate. He didn’t need to be. He grew up at a time in America where every kid was given a great education which included real American history.
His life, music, and dedication to our country will be sorely missed. Patriots like CharlieDaniels don’t grow on trees. They are grown in families who love this country and teach their children to be proud Americans. Rest in peace, Charlie Daniels. Those of us who love America won’t ever forget your words of wisdom, and we vow to ensure our great nation endures.
