Toby Keith, Greatest Hits 2 (Dreamworks). Son or daughter lose a limb searching for those pesky weapons of mass destruction? Significant other catch a little friendly fire? Not to worry -- there's nothing like a Toby Keith CD to keep that "Mission Accomplished" feeling all year long.
John Michael Montgomery, Letters From Home (Warner Bros.). Flag wavers might turn off Fox News for 5 minutes to get an earful of country crooner Montgomery, who assumes the voice of proud parents and wistful girlfriends on the title track.
Various Artists, Patriotic Country (BMG). A dream disc for Republican country music fans, this 18-song sampling of imperialist propaganda features militia-member anthems such as Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A."
Various Artists, America Will Always Stand (Time Life). A vast right-wing conspiracy of bad music. Jingoism never sounded as fun as it does on Daron Norwood's "God and General Lee," which features tender prose such as I've got the good Lord on my side/And this rifle in my hand.
