What do you say to shrub supporters who like "lefty" pop culture/bands? |
|
For instance a shrub voter who is a big fan of Public Enemy, or System of a Down?
Do you ask them if they have any awareness of the political views of the artist, or even the song lyrics? The irony?
Or do you just ignore them and scratch your head?
I have to admit it kinda pisses me off. It's like, "I want to be a big greedy pighead and benefit financially from shrubco, but I'm COOL too, I'm 'down' with the best of lefty culture too! I'm like a shrubco Renaissance man! Really I am!"

5. Republican Punk Rockers |

The cognitive dissonance is just amazing.
"Ya know was kicks ass? The President. The White House. The system. That fucking rocks. Oh, yeah, authoritarianism. We like that too."
There was a Daily Show segment on Repub punks. It was hilarious, but yeah, it pisses me off. It's like they don't listen to themselves talk.

That was fucking hilarious.
Steven Colbert: So you're raging against the machine for the machine? Republican punk: Yeah, raging for the Bush machine!

probably don't even understand what the lyrics are about.
Like the people who think System of a Down's song b.y.o.b. stands for bring your own beer. It's about having a good time, don't ya know.

It's a great song, though, and considering the fact the backup singer screams "Why do they always send the poor?" You'd think most kids would figure out it's not about a beer party.
b.y.o.b.
Why do they always send the poor
Barbarisms by Barbaras With pointed heels Victorious victories kneel For brand new spankin' deals
Marching forward hypocritic and Hypnotic computers You depend on our protection Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine
Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth Breaking into Fort Knox stealing Our intentions
Hangers sitting dripped in oil Crying freedom Handed to obsoletion Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine
Blast off It's party time And we don't live in a fascist nation
Blast off It's party time And where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you? Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor?
Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth Breaking into Fort Knox stealing Our intentions
Hangers sitting dripped in oil Crying freedom Handed to obsoletion, Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun
Where the fuck are you? Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? They always send the poor They always send the poor
