Lovely song.
It is time we fight for the constitution, because these yahoos will try and restrict them.
If you know of a radio station not playing it then Email and tell them you will no longer listen to them and then don't

Radio stations won't play it: False.
Type in Snopes.com Diamond Rio; click the Snopes link by the same name.
Read the entire page, especially the last paragraph, where you will see the flag and religious competition they had when the song 'was finally released.'
Not quite the blanket conspiracy that is being claimed. Good for sales no doubt and a nice song; although it may be a little late in the day for America.
I do not know the people at Snopes but I found the site via a friend. Both of us have found this source straight up and a big time saver; amid all the misinformation flowing across America these days. Much of it planted for various reasons including delight in civil unrest.
The rule these days is the good old rule. Don't believe everything your hear and only half of what you read. If Snopes is only half true I'm open to more rereading.
What do I think? I think we all need to double and triple check information disseminated by anyone including the horses mouth. To bad but that's the way it is; from sea to shining sea.

Well, the secular and/or liberal radio stations will most likely not play anything that doesn't fit the pop-culture mood of these times.
Now, Conservative talk radio (besides the Christian stations), could possibly play this song as background, possibly...but they'd have to be approached since there is so much out there to choose from.
The dictator from Venezuela has shut down all of the radio stations because he sees himself as the center of the universe, and fears any opposing views. He has absolute power, absolutely. Obama respects and admires this man, and is probably entertaining following suit.
Don't be surprised at the massive changes coming down the road. We voted in a man for change and that is exactly what we are getting. The Germans post WW1 wanted change, and they got theirs - didn't they? Now it's our turn. Unfortunately, if the US is wiped out, where will freedom loving people go?

Your freedom of speech does not include the right to have all radio stations play your song any more than my freedom of speech includes the right to have all radio stations play everything I like. Your freedom of speech has not been trampled on. You have religious stations. AND this is on the Internet, so where is your loss of freedom?
Freedom of speech, anyway, is about the GOVERNMENT not disallowing you to say what you want to say. It is NOT about private enterprise having to allow you to spread your message via their media.
Again, you have Christian stations. You have churches on practically ever corner in almost every town in the U.S. How in the world can you claim not to have freedom to express your religion?
As to those who posted who said the world hates god, etc., why, then, do most people claim to be followers of one religion or another. I know most of you Christians will claim that just because one says he is a Christian doesn't make him so, that he is not a "real" Christian, but, even if that was true, would a majority of people claiming to be Christian actually "hate God"? I don't think so.

Even though I am not much of a country fan that is a great song. But according to Scriptural it says something like this will happen. The world hates God, so they will deny Him. The world allows songs about sex, money, drugs, and other unholy things but mention God and the music stops.
The world first hated Him.
