I'm NOT a Kiss Fan... I'm too "cool" for that...lol but I saw this on the DU site and thought it very interesting. The winds of change happen slowly, but changing none the less. His language has been "edited" for Free Republic quality standards...we have class.

"America, love it or leave it?" I never subscribed to that ideal. It's actually UnAmerican. I DO believe in different opinions. But, I am also ashamed of any American especially, who gets up on stage in a different country to badmouth America, while American troops are dying in a desert country they would never want to live in.

Hello Natalie... are you listening?

[rintense]

I heard Gene on Hannity's radio show and he actually sounds quite conservative. Both he and Paul Stanley surprised me in their views.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

And this is from a self-described liberal who usually supports the Democratic party. What does that tell you?

[lainie]

I don't think it's a surprise to some conservatives -- Gene is known as someone who doesn't tow the DNC party line. Having said that, however, he's probably still having extramarital sex with a different woman(women) every night with impunity, so don't think he's completely come over from the dark side. :) He probably also carries, has armed guards, limos and electric fences around his mansion.

If he's even still married. I don't know -- don't keep up with the guy. What are you doing reading DU? ewwwww :)

the Dems are in big trouble in 2004! DON'T get COMPLACENT!

[Desecrated]

"I have said in this political climate, that I am ashamed of the behavior of people who call themselves either members of the Democratic Party."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Simmons was born in Israel, no doubt part of the much bally-hooed Jewish conspiracy that infiltrates every sector of our public and private lives.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Gene Simmons was born Chaim Witz in Haifa, Israel, on August 25, 1949 to parents of Holocaust survivors. His parents no doubt instilled in him the folly of remaining passive when they are hauling off your children to the gas chambers.

I'm NOT a Kiss Fan... I'm too "cool" for that...lol

Although I get a kick out of KISS, I'm generally not a heavy metal/hard rock fan---but those musicians seem to be much less susceptible to leftism than other rock/pop musicians. I wonder why that is?

[Tahoe3002]

Thanks, Bob,
I am not a KISS fan either.
BUT, I greatly apprecitate Gene's comments.
I will send him an e-mail so stating.
(And I do wish I could attract their groupies!)

[Bob Eimiller]

Lainie... I went to DU just to find something like this article...it's fun sometimes to hear the ranting on the other side..lol I can't be influenced by them... I'm much too smart for that...

[Numbers Guy]

Two in a row for Gene: Last year Simmons made mincemeat of that condescending NPR "fresh airhead" leftist Terry Gross.

[HitmanLV]

I'm not a KISS fan either. Doesn't Gene do a bumper on Sean Hannity's radio feed? He must have been on the show once, or a friend of Sean's.

[T Lady]

Sounds like Gene Simmons has some common sense--a commodity that is genuinely lacking in Leftist Socialist circles nowadays.

Yep, everybody thought that George Bush was infallible after Gulf War I. The difference now is that the DemonRats are completely self-destructing and even good die-hard libs are taking a step back and re-examining things. But, complacency will kill you no matter how far ahead you are.

[biblewonk]

I wonder if he still hates Jesus.

[MrLeRoy]

Simmons was born in Israel, no doubt part of the much bally-hooed Jewish conspiracy

Yeah, he's working undercover.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I wish I could have heard that. I'd love to see that little NPR geek get hammered.

[Egregious Philbin]

The opinion of Gene Simmons has about as much import as that of the Dixie Chick, which is to say little or none. Their opinions don't affect policy, nor are they well though out.
