When Elton John testified before Congress, the media had a field day.
When Smokey Robinson made a brief appearance, everyone cheered.
But when Gene Simmons of KISS traveled to the Pentagon on May 16 to laud the troops for their service and fight back tears to discuss how America saved his Hungarian-born mother from the concentration camps, many reporters and pundits scoffed.
Why did the media opt to cast negativity around Simmons appearance rather than fawn over it as they would typically do with any other Hollywood star?
Simple: if it wasnt for the president himself, he could be considered the poster boy for everything that the left hates about the modern-day culture war.

Cuz there’s some whacko expectation that ALL Jews be for kumbaya collectivism, disarmament and SCREW AMERICA.
And he’s not like that.
And they hate him for it.
God Bless Gene Simmons.
Never was a Kiss Soldier, but God Bless Gene Simmons.
sadly, it seems like a shrinking percentage of Jews globally care about Israel
Thankfully Gene is not one of those
It's impossible to hate a Jew like that.
Simmons is a traditional Libertarian from a time when they were not just a tool for the Rats to siphon off votes from the GOP candidate.
And the US Marine Corp save my wife’s mother from the Japanese concentration camps in Indonesia. Thank you US Marines and all the other US Armed Forces.
Going to the 60th Armed Forces Day Parade here in Torrance Ca. today. This year they are honoring the Navy.
I love Gene but you would think his swinging and unapologetic lifestyle would endear him to the left.
I think he”s a good guy and good father though, if you ask me.
(And sometimes in moments of weakness I envy his past!)
You could say the same thing about Ted Nugent, but he certainly hasn't endeared himself with the Left.
Because the Left hates America.
Mr. Simmons could care less about what a bunch of socialist fake news candy-ass liberals have to say. He speaks the truth, and that is far more powerful than lies, because the truth sets you free. Lies have to constantly be monitored and modified.
And I’m envious of his past with women too! :)
While all the other musicians were getting stoned out of their minds, Ted would just take their women.
The opinion of today’s media on just about anything is worth a thousand times less than the value of a wood nickel.
Or a Dorkbama statement.
I heard him say that :)
I know we have high moral standards here and that’s GOOD.
But everyone answers for their own lives at the end and asking forgiveness is always on the table.
Like asking for forgiveness for my envying his past!!
Because he is a conservative & doesn’t care what anyone thinks. My brother is a HUGE KISS fan ; )
