I use the F-word, the S-word, ocassionally I've been known to tell a salty joke or two. I've taken pleasure at all the risque anti-Clinton jokes, anti-Streisand jokes, anti-Moore jokes, etc. I watch R-rated movies, enjoy a good action movie with tons of violence, I like hard rock, some rap, and can't stand country. I've even seen porn on the internet! (GASP) And guess what, I'm a Republican...
Just because I and others like things that some might not find to their liking doesn't make us less "Republican", less "American" or a lower form of life. It's a bit hypocritical for so-called Christians to spend so much time and effort to pass judgment, isn't it?
Fine, and I can say many of the same things about myself.
But the issue here is completely different: What message is sent when this band performs at a serious event like a presidential inaugural?
Making those of us who take a "puritanical" position on this one out to be prigs is both unfair and beside the point.
