A scheduled appearance by vulgar rock-rapper Kid Rock at a Bush inauguration concert hosted by Bush daughters Jenna and Barbara has shocked conservative supporters.
The rapper’s lyrics often focus on the recreational nature of sex and send a message of female sexual exploitation. In 2000 he appeared in a porn film with well-known porn stars, and he was named the Sluttiest Male Celebrity by MTV.
According to Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, the White House has sent a shocking statement to the millions of families who supported his re-election.
"Kid Rock is an inexcusable choice,” Wildmon said. "His music lyrics serve to teach our young men to disrespect women in a most vile, self serving manner. There's no compassionate conservatism in that philosophy.”
"Obviously, someone on the Presidential Inauguration Committee has made an extremely poor judgment call. The Committee should cancel this invitation immediately,” Wildmon said.
Kid rock was chosen to appear because he was a supporter of President Bush's re-election campaign.
You don't get it? Your obviously not a decent enough person to understand.... So I'll just write you off like the good person that I am....
If you wish hard enough you might even qualify to live up to your own standards of performing in an inaugural party...
Goodness it seems something pricked you to the quick.
yep.
Could it be your own conscience?
Kid Rock is great...If you don't like it thats why there is an off switch..Go listen to country or opera...of course they only sing about good stuff..no bad stuff there...nope not a bit
Comparing Kid to a molester?
MIND BOGGLING
1) Is the "performance" at a Presidential Inaugural by Kid Rock "appropriate"? His genre of "entertainment" is graphically vulgar, obscene, coarse, and debases and degrades our wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters. Either that is acceptable to you or it isn't.
2) Should venue "performances" before the troops in combat zones, concerts, or living room be compared to that of an official Presidential Inaugural Event?
3) Some of us -- including Zell Miller -- feel Rock went over the line by treating the American Flag like a beach towel. We didn't like it, but others thought it was "patriotic."
4) NOBODY -- NOT California Patriot nor myself has EVER condoned censoring the "music" OR "act" of Kid Rock. Considering his "material" and his philosophy, we simply deem his presense inappropriate at the Inaugural.
5) How is it one can be Attilla the Hun, but waving an American flag suddenly make them "acceptable"? I needn't aplogize standards with which you disagree.
Now if all this "standard bearing" makes you consider me and millions of American "zealots" and "cultist," then look around. We're all over Free Republic.
May I also assme then eventually you and your ilk will either move to the left, OR move right in order to flee our "puritanical" sensibilities?
I'd assuming left, because at least the libs won't get "judgemental" about sanctimonious issues like "morality" and "virtue."
"The only fighting your wide arse does is amoungst republicans, behind the cover of a computer screen."
(yawn)
".You see there are some rules we all must obey."
You ever get a speeding ticket? A parking ticket?
Your drivel certainly is tiring.
"May I also assme then eventually you and your ilk will either move to the left, OR move right in order to flee our "puritanical" sensibilities?
I'd assuming left, because at least the libs won't get "judgemental" about sanctimonious issues like "morality" and "virtue." "
And may I assume that this is one step away from "you don't belong in the Republican party because you don't believe as I do"?
Kid Rock playing at a youth-oriented side party after the Inaug. is such a non-issue. Perhaps the fervor used to denounce his appearance would best be used to denounce some of the real scum that gets invited to the WH under the guise of "foreign relations"...
Yeah, "hi," Valley Girl to you too.
Your paranoia is fascinating, but thanks for the response.
So why not stand AGAINST them since they all vote against us, and at least Kid Rock voted WITH us for W!!!!
I'm talking about what he represents and stands for...NOT how he voted.
Because he voted for Bush,he would get my thanks,not the red carpet.
Im sure all these people whining bout the Kid didnt vote for W...of course we all know our beloved prez was no angel..we all fall short of the glory but it matters if you fight the good fight and Kid is a guy who supports the troops and our prez not to mention went to court and fought for his kid...is he an angel? no but neither am i or you or the guy he is honoring
Can you PLEASE get off the rampant condescending and adolescent name-calling and hyperbole? It's out of control for pitty's sake. It's not becoming of reasoned, adult debate. I'm not your "Honey" (as you called me earlier in a very condescending, uncalled-for manner, and I'm CERTAINLY not a "Valley Girl." You haven't a clue.
Reagan had Frankie sing at his and we know Frankie took em two at time and had mob connections..And lets not even talk bout what the Beach Boys were into
amen brother!
religious too
