Gene Simmons of Kiss tells it right.. IMHO a "BIG SURPRISE!"

Gene Simmons web site ^ | unknown | Gene Simmons

[Egregious Philbin]

Well, well, well. Unlike the Dixie Chicks, Mr. Simmons has personal experience of the kind we rescued the Iraqi's from. He has his own website which has 1000's if not millions of visitors.

What do you have, and how is your opinion worth anything? It would also help, if you want to be taken seriously, to attempt to spell words correctly.

What "personal experience"? If I were famous or had my own website my words would have more gravity? My opinion is worth as much as anyone on FR's is. Which word or words did I spell incorrectly? I made a typo - "though(t)." I can tell you that the plural of Iraqi is Iraqis, not Iraqi's. You, and Gene, made that mistake.

Last year Simmons made mincemeat of that condescending NPR "fresh airhead" leftist Terry Gross.

Heard that one myself and it was hysterical. LOL! (All during the interview I pictured her subconsciously fantasizing about his tongue..... ROFLMAO!)

More Gene Simmons on 9 April 03:

Woke up this morning to the site of Saddam Hussein's head, torn from its metallic statue base, in downtown Baghdad, being ridden by Iraqi's!!! I saw Iraqi's running through the streets waving American flags.

I also watched with interest how the UN was insisting it had to play the major role in rebuilding Iraq.

And, of course, the French/Chirac led government and, I might add the German government (who only last week on CNN strongly urged that Hussein be removed -- without so much as lifting a finger to do anything about it), insisted that they be allowed to be involved in the rebuilding of Iraq.

In jail, bending over for the soap is not a good idea. In life, the words S**K MY B***S in response, might be appropriate in this instance.

Further, I would like to add my condolences to all the American and British and yes, the Iraqi families that lost loved ones in this struggle...while the American media (the New York Times, the Washington Post and other "respected" newspapers) routinely trounced the war effort.

My heart goes out to people who suffer. And, although "Might makes Right" does not necessarily follow, in this case it does. Better the good guys be Mighty, than the bad guys.

As for being a Liberal. I am!!! I believe in equality -- for everyone. I believe prejudice is the bane of mankind's existence.

The whole world would have become a Communist World, if American didn't stand up to Russia...don't kid yourself.

And, I believe if you don't have the guts to stand up to injustice, where ever it exists (and that means stopping the Germans, the Japanese and the Italians in WW I and WW II...or the Albanian Serbs in Bosnia...or the tragedies that keep on occurring in Africa...or even the Viet Nam War....Panama...North Korea...the list goes on and on)...

One thing in common with all these events: AMERICA.

America didn't stay and "conquer" ANY OF THESE COUNTRIES.

And, the UN??? It's a sham. It can't even decide what to do about UNANIMOUSLY VOTING THAT HUSSEIN be punished.

Me??? I'm ashamed to be surrounded by people calling themselves Liberal who are, in my opinion, spitting on the graves of brave American soldiers who gave their life to fight a war that wasn't theirs...in a country they've never been to...simply to liberate the people therein.

I haven't said very much politically, because talk is cheap (yours and mine). But the answer to any doubters lies in watching Iraq's people dancing in the streets.

Again, everyone who is marching today in a war protest, can line up to my left to s**k my b***s.

He calls himself a liberal; very interesting! Perhaps socially with the ladies but, apparently, not politically. Can one could be truly liberal and not hate the US? It would seem he thinks he's liberal because, as he says, "I believe in equality -- for everyone. I believe prejudice is the bane of mankind's existence." This, like conservatives DON'T believe in equality - ah, the liberal press pond scum have really sold the American public a load of dung on THAT issue, haven't they - LOL!!

What was a typical DU response to this well-reasoned letter?

[Bob Eimiller]

Yes Egregious...your opinion is worth anyone elses but ..what I think UCANSEE2 was stating correctly was Simmons web site will be seen by thousands of "metal heads".. his influence could cause the "groupee" community to mark the ballot in the right place... the R column instead of the D column.

After the last two elections, that could be huge for the conservative movement... Don't you agree?

[lainie]

Right. And, boiling it down, American government is not benevolent. It can't be: it's not wealthy (only the king or dictator or what-have-you would 'own' everything). Our government's not supposed to own anything.

So, in order for government to give anything to anyone, it must first take it from someone else. Which is why the ignorant social 'program' mentality is a house of cards.

So --- this guy gets some things; he doesn't get others.

[Bob Eimiller]

I don't read their drivel on DU...In fact this was my first time actually reading a posted article there... but I can imagine what the rocks rolling around in their heads caused them to reply.

[ppaul]

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

Yeah.
Like Gene taking and saving photos of every one of the 4,600+ gals he's had sex with.
A real conservative that guy!

[Bob Eimiller]

Lainie... what an excellent concise definition of socialism... thanks

[Egregious Philbin]

"Huge," Bob... HUGE!? It might be some help, but for the wrong reasons. Becoming a conservative because of one Gene Simmons' article makes about as much sense as becoming liberal because of Tim Robbins' public statements.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Simmon's article was so well thought out that it was completely correct in every respect. What did you read?

It is totally different than the moronic babble of the Ditsy Chicks.

[Bob Eimiller]

This posted article was an illustration of the slow but sure trend toward conservative success in the voting booth... I could care less about the moral decadence of a semi talented rock star I wouldn't go across the street to see.

Liberals have a mental disease that prevents them from grasping the real meaning of an event or idea... Simmoms may be a degenerate but I'm only interested in the evolution of a Demonicrat's mind as an example of a trend.

[Bob Eimiller]

All great change begin with small steps. Simmons is an example with a young following... small acorns grow into "HUGE" oak trees with enough nourishment (periodic rains)and time.

[Egregious Philbin]

How does he get his tongue to do that....

Good ol' fashioned American hard work. The length is genetic though...

NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW!

IS THE TIME TO PERSUADE PEOPLE OF

HOW EVIL, DESTRUCTIVE, COMMUNISTIC

her unroyal lowness,
her hideous heinous
Bwitch Shrillery is.

Closer to the election, people start discounting what even close friends say on the other side. Guards go up increasingly the closer we get to the election.

Please, please, please,

make hay while the sun shines.

We can't afford to have Bwitch Shrillery anywhere close to the White House again.

And New Yorkers--PLEASE GET HER OUT OF THE SENATE!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bob Eimiller]

Out of NY State? NO! NO! Get "it" out of the COUNTRY!!

[Husker8877]

"...Like Gene taking and saving photos of every one of the 4,600+ gals he's had sex with..."

Tacky, huh?

(Like most conservatives, I stopped taking pictures after 1000...)

[MikeAtTheShore]

If you ever considered yourself an old time liberal in the 60's, then most of the views you held then are considered conservative today. We believed in equal opportunity not quotas. We believed in free speech not speech codes. We believed in people doing there own thing not ramming the homosexual agenda down peoples throat. We believed and respected the Founding Fathers and didn't consider them dead white men. I can go on and on but you see the point.

The furthest detectable Galactic Cluster

would be plenty close enough for me!
