Brothers and sisters, I have just received the sad news that legendary Country singer Merle Haggard is being slowly killed with lung Cancer by Jesus. While you pray for him, please click on the video below and tap your toes to one of the most patriotic songs ever written. Just like the Holy Bible, it is a timeless clasic.

Country star Merle Haggard battling lung cancer

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Country singer Merle Haggard, recently diagnosed with lung cancer, had part of a lung removed and is recovering at home, his spokeswoman said on Sunday.

The 71-year-old singer-songwriter underwent surgery on Monday in a Bakersfield, California, hospital.

"I'm feeling good ... better and better each day," Haggard was quoted as saying in a statement. "If not for the love and wisdom of my wife (Theresa), I might not be around today."

Doctors removed the upper lobe of Haggard's right lung after a biopsy revealed that he had non-small cell lung cancer, the statement said. Tests revealed that all the affected tissue was removed.

According to the American Lung Association, non-small cell lung cancer usually spreads to different parts of the body more slowly than the less-common small cell lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer of men and women in the United States. The expected 5-year survival rate for lung cancer patients is 16 percent, according to the association.

Haggard has been touring and recording since 1965, combining folk, jazz, pop and blues traditions to compose songs that have been covered by the likes of Elvis Costello, the Grateful Dead and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

He is perhaps best known for his anti-hippie anthem "Okie From Muskogee," which topped the charts in 1969. Haggard entered the business following a decade of run-ins with the law, culminating in a stint in California's San Quentin State Prison.

While I agree that Merle Haggard did a fine job on that song, later on he drifted over to the dark side. Mr. Harragd supported using non-fossil fuels, & powered his estate with pagan solar energy. He also campaigned for Hellary Clinton, & made frequent appearances on Air America radio. It's a shame he fell from grace; perhaps this is God's punishment.

Well that's what I meant. We should all pray for Jesus to make his cancer unspeakably long, drawn out and painful. I can't wait to see what tortures satan has planned for ol' Merle down in hell!

I'm sure that Barack Osama is somehow involved in Satan's corruption of this fine man, obviously resulting in God's loving smite.

Amen Pastor! Just look at this commie crap that Merle Khruschev Haggard is spewing these day (including the blasphemous line "Let's get out of Iraq and get our country back on track"):
