Folks, it NOT the Decemberists who are the issue here…as much as the lefty rockers (who are right about Rage Against the Machine and System Of A Down, BTW) are thinking this is about…no kiddies, rock and roll is here to stay and some of us DO like it.
It’s about the culture, and about a candidate who would gladly patronize those who think America is the EVIL BOOGYMAN (didn’t I say that Decemberist video was telling?) of the world. The world view is, of course, lock-step in line with Wright, Barry’s wife, Ayers, and all the people he seems to surround himself with.
Well, frankly, it won’t fly with the vast majority of Americans, as much as the left thinks it will because of some Bush-fatigue or something. They will, and ARE trying their darndest to make this election about Bush…but Bush ain’t runnin’ this time.
Oh, and let’s not forget, the small thanks we, and all of Eastern Europe, owe Reagan that the Soviet Union “has been reduced to a kitchy curiosity that kids like the ones in this band use to irritate their elders”.
Kids these days…no wonder they like Obama so much. He is as bad with remembering history as they are:
