Simply put and right on the money!
Gabba Gabba hey. I gotta show this to some of my folks
“...and you’ve got disgust for anything GW Bush and (the party that birthed him) the Republicans (and I would agree with you on many points I’m sure)...”
#####
A rather cowardly qualification.
What specifically do you have “disgust” for?
Because most of the rest of the statement flies in the face of that little safety net, provided to stay “hip” with your friends.
The lead singer from Aerosmith said the same thing about not wanting to sit on the sidelines because this election is too important. They’re coming out of the woodwork!
Bump.
Bttt
I don’t know who this guy is, but I agree with everything he wrote!
Skeptical.
I think that its important to note that these punk-rockers are basically expressing a fiercely libertarian philosophy. I believe a good way to grow conservative ideas in the future and appeal more to young voters and those immigrants from opressive regimes is to frame more of our policies in the terms described in this article.
well damn... you’re going to catch some flack for sure, mate! though i see your label is focused on the raunchier old-school stuff and i’ve known some damn philosophically hardcore conservative guys in that scene. basically, we still hate hippies for @#$%^ing up the music and for turning our - let’s face it - reactionary music world into an annoying scene full of of smelly causeheads! you shoulda been here a decade ago - all sorts of old punks would sometimes come out of the woodwork. i’m still amazed at one who made an appearance, considering the label his band was on.
Interesting and well stated commentary, coming from someone who produces records by punk rockers. Definitely not what you’d expect from someone in that line of work.
I can certainly agree with every sentiment expressed there.
Welcome to FR, TW.
I don’t understand how anarchists want communists as leaders. Do they not understand something or what?
Rock on!

Johnny Ramone was a Republican
Ping!
cut em some slack!
i’m sure like a lot of conservatives they are disguested with Bush’s spending spree, just didn’t feel the need to enumerate it.
the rest of the post looks like they’re pretty straight up the line on the right end of the spectrum, maybe a little more libertarian...
A little of Andrew Wilkow speaking here! Good news!
I was a punk rocker thru and thru during the earliest years 1975 - 1978 and I was one of those who hated the hippies and leftists, those that “mean well” - the beginning of PC. As in, “if you don’t like the fact that Rasheed stole your skateboard shouldn’t the community all sit down like a tribe and decide what the appropriate action to take is?” And it always resulted in a hug when you wanted them to be punished? I’ve heard all the leftist lies from forever and they’re just lies. Everyone from Ronald Reagan to General Petraeus is to me the type of reactionary that in the young is defined as “punk” - by that I mean plain American, no frills, no metrosexuality, no she/him = “shim” - just plain American. My family knows me as someone who, coming from a Big Ten University town had it all in the bag, including great grades - but I never got over those early years, never gave in to the leftists - so I’m labeled a reactionary, as in reacting against the University drivel and leftism here in the center of the country’s poop sandwich Madison, WI. This town has any number of faculty signing that goddamn on-line support letter for Bill Ayers. Anyone want to know why the son of a McCarthy Republican in this blue hellhole is a reactionary? My old man moved here from the South after WWII to get away from the Democrats and their segragated foolishness - if we only went for “content of character” over “great society” we would have made America greater than it already is. If we ONLY went for content of character on every issue instead of running to judges and lawyers for freebies, we would be greater still.
