And what is wrong with being a rebel, if he is one? I know of some people who would have been considered rebels at the founding of this country.

'And what is wrong with being a rebel, if he is one? I know of some people who would have been considered rebels at the founding of this country.'

If you want to be a rebel that's fine. But in politics it is damaging.

In the case of the founding of this country, there is a stark difference between them and what we are discussing. The early American 'rebels' were fighting against tyranny and oppression. Read the Declaration of Independance and you may sense the deference the founders gave to upholding the law, and their reasoning to declare that it violated basic human decency. After much effort and being left with no recourse they became 'rebels'.

Kid Rock has no such cause. He is rebelling against decency and morality.
