Freedom fries my fanny!Does Mr. Keith have any idea the role France played in our revolt against the Brits? If not for them, we would be bowing to Her Majesty, the Queen! The French were with us at Yorktown. Their support was essential in the creation of our nation. Then again, history books south of the Ohio river say the South won the Civil War.

At these restaurants, Toby Keith gives a free meal to anyone who has served in the military. It’s a one-time good deal reflecting his appreciation for the American service man & woman. What a great idea.

It’s funny that Toby Keith (and other new-country rednecks) had such an issue with the Dixie Chicks saying a pretty mild criticism of dubya but have not said a thing about the birthers or the tea partiers or oath keepers and their constant disparagement of president Obama.

Nothing says COUNTRY like expanding a millionaire’s corporate restaurant chain in DOWNTOWN Cincinnati! That is too funny. Do people really fall for this stuff? Ridiculous.

And the restaurant only needed $5.5 MILLION in loans from the city and county. But I’ll guarantee you can belly up to Toby’s bar and get somebody’s tea bag in a knot over government bail outs. How you like me now?!?!

Hey Chody Keith, Have the Dixie Chicks critized President Obama for expanding the war and sending additional troops? I didn’t think so.

Why does there have to be so many negative comments. I think this grill will bring job oppurtunities to young college students trying to earn an education while still needing to work. Lets be positive people.

Let’s just be clear about one thing here as far as Toby’s fortunes go: up until he had a piece of the Dixie Chicks, along w/ Reba, his career was just okay selling novelty tunes and waving the flag at just the right time. Suddenly he was the Super Star everyone wanted. But did I hear ANYTHING about freedom of speech and Mr Bush standing by his own record? Freedom of speech really makes me want to wave my flag more than $$.

Hey Allen, freedom of speech no one took that away from anyone, they are just consquences for your words…people just like Toby’s words better then the Dixie Chicks.

Get a life people! Some of you have nothing better to do than post your crap in order to boast about being “published”. It is a restaraunt. You eat there, or you go to GoldStar Chili or some other place, or stay home with your hamburger helper. Simple as that! If you don’t like it, don’t go. Maybe that is too complex for you morons.

It figures that a red-neck would serve “freedom fries”. He obviously does not know Lafayette or whom gave us the Statue Of Liberty. The reason for the flap with the French was that they did not back Bush’s invasion of Iraq, ultimately proven to be a stupid decision. I will never grace this place nor buy this joker’s records.

How depressing it is to read the blogs on DDN website. What a bunch of hate filled people we have in the Dayton area. If you don’t like Toby don’t go but don’t rip on him for making money and for giving back to the people fighting to keep us free.

I would just like somebody to tell me what the French have done for us lately. Nothing! Target is a French based company and do you think they would let anyone help raise moneyfor the World War II Memorial in their store like Walmart did ? Not! As for Toby, the American Soldiers love him-he goes overseas and entertains them probably more than any other country music entertainer! They love and respect him! If you don’t like him fine, but leave him alone and stay out of his restaurant. He will do just fine without your money. You are probably the type of people that supports the Taliban and people who come here to kill Americans! Shame on you! At least he stands up for what he believes in. AMERICA-LOVE IT OR GET OUT!

Toby should recognize a lot more of our treasured American Diversity freedoms as healthy food for the whole world to eat. For example: Affirmative Action cornbread Abortion beef stew Hate speech hash Porn speech salad toss AIDS hysteria hominy Alien Amnesty Tacos Shoah shrine bologna Set-aside souffle Handicap space potatos Native reservation preserves Title IX tuna boat Our Diversity freedoms make the US and the world safe for democracy!

“null” should read his name-it fits to a tee, from reading his comments. This no-talent bum (who wanted to drill for oil in Manhattan) is going to make a lot of money off of SW Ohio rednecks eating bad food. First the Creation Museum and now this “restaurant”. I suppose the next thing will be a museum trying to prove that the Earth is flat.

Well Tomas first of all that no talent bum is singing all the way to the bank-are you? The only talent you have is running off at the mouth like some of these other haters on here. What a bunch of losers! As for Ms Quiddle-how long did it take you to come up with that crap? He can’t do it all. He makes more than one trip a year to entertain the troops fighting for our freedom! Do you do anything for them-the Christmas card campaign, donate articles they may need, thank a soldier when you see one or just shoot your mouth off? Don’t go to the restaurant and everybody will be happy!

If one ever has any doubt why Dayton is a dying town, just has to read the posts from the simple minded, semi-literate trolls that infest these blogs. Dayton is chock full of jealous, sit-on-my-lazy-a*s misfits who criticize anything and anybody perceived as different from them, and justify it by parroting the lies and half truths force fed them by an agenda driven media.Never let facts get in the way of a good line of crap. If you do like it, don’t go. It’s America, but then again this is the new America, where up is down and down is up. Morons who want to shut down anything and any voice other than their own. Then you will be stupid enough to wonder why when they come after you next. And thanks once again to DDN, who no longer allow blog posts except when Reps. or Conservatives can be critizied. But then again, no one really expects DDN to offer anything except their clearly partisian left slanted viewpoint. If is was a Starbucks gouging the public with $5+ cups of coffee or a Rap club with drug deals, assaults and shootings in the parking lot, now that’s something to get behind and praise.
