Personally I'll stick with what Tremoglie says and you can go live in your own little world with its high road and principles. Just remember your principles when you ask someone to take care of you when you are sick or fix your plumbing or clean your streets for you or collect your trash you better make sure that they only listen to Christian music or Country music. Because more than likely they listen to Elton John or Blackeyed Peas.

Well, nice character attack, no facts, just knee-jerk attacks. It's Black Eyed Peas.

You didn't even bother to check my profile. I'm an Ayn Rand objectivist. I refuse to listen to Christian music (a tendency with atheists/non-believers like myself). And I like some country music, though not when it's preachy or depressing. Rock, Jazz, Classical, some Rap, Alternative, Punk, Electronica, Trance, and most of the musical genre work for me.

What on earth does being sick, hiring a plumber, street cleaning, garbage collecting have to do with the corruption of most African countries?

Regarding principles, I will go to a doctors, plumbers, street cleaners, and garbage collectors that will: diagnose and cure, repair the plumbing, clean the streets, and collect and dispose refuse in a lawful manner, respectively. Why? Because those that have principles actually do their jobs!

Miami Vice, try a dictionary next time. Principles are not a Christian (or any religion) owned phrase. Neither are ethics, morals, honesty, or integrity.

Here some help:

A rule or standard especially of good behavior

"a man of principle"; "he will not violate his principles"

AN AYn Rand Objectivist? Great a woman whose philosophy was full of contradictions and qualifications. No wonder your posts do not make any sense.

Let me try to say this as slowly as possible. Since you don't like people because of their musical tastes you won't like plumbers, doctors etc to take care of you.

Tremoglie is saying that the popular culture reaches all people not just smug self-serving dolts - like Ayn Rand followers. This is why conservatives need to reach all people and use the popular culture which is the best available vehicle.

I don't know if you are capable of understanding this or not - that's not my problem it is yours.
