Pro-Bush Neil Young Shocks Leftists

The left-wing group that calls itself People for the American Way got the shock of its life when it honored peacenik Canadian rocker Neil Young - and he said President Bush's anti-terrorism measures were necessary.

"We can't forget what brought us together and what we're living for, what makes us who we are, even though to protect freedom it seems that we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time," Young said Tuesday at the limousine-liberal group's annual dinner in (where else?) Beverly Hills.

More than a few eyebrows were raised, Reuters news agency reported Wednesday.

"It is a law that we get a chance to get them back. It's very important not to forget that.

"It's a tough time for all of us who believe in a certain way of life to come to grips with the fact that we have to kind of make a - what do you call it - this word's hard for me - I think it's - compromise. That's right. But it's temporary, and we can't forget that it's temporary. We're going to do the job, and then we're going to get back to being who we are."

Young, who received the outfit's "Spirit of Liberty lifetime achievement award," recently had the blame-America-first left grumbling when he recorded the song ''Let's Roll'' as a tribute to the doomed passengers who overpowered their hijackers over Pennsylvania on Sept. 11.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of ``South Park'' and the failed "That's My Bush!" sitcom, also had the whine-and-cheese GWLs (Guilty White Liberals) gasping when Parker said they were proud Republicans. ``It's true," said Parker, dressed in a garish stars-and-stripes suit.

I think they were probably just taunting the crowd. I believe those two are solid Libertarians.

Hey, did anybody see last night’s “All Butter” ("That's me.") episode. It was a little too creepy in the beginning, but I was laughing my ass off when they went into full Ramsey-Condit-OJ bashing mode. Condit looked like a guilty corpse! Great stuff!

Did you notice that at the end Stan, Kyle and Cartman showed up, but Kenny didn't? There's been some speculation online since last week's "Kenny Dies" episode that it wasn't just a half-hour extension of the same old joke, but that he's really and truly GONE this time. I thought they were all nuts, but now I'm not so sure.

At least they are somewhere in the ball park. I always thought they were liberal blowhards.

Absolutely not! Have you ever watched “South Park”? About the only thing you can be sure of from that show is that they hate liberals. They really really really hate liberals.

[NC Conservative]

I have to admit I do not watch South Park on a regular basis. Only watch it with my bro in law every now and then.

[dead]

I did notice that, but didn't put any meaning into it. Kenny always really dies. They just keep making new Kennys.

Guess you never watched an episode! They are all centered around Liberal themes only to reveil later how utterly stupid their ideas are! If you ever get to see tehhe Class President episode with Ike running for President and the slap Mr. Hand made to Rosie O'Donnell, you would change your mind

Here is the brand new Neil Young song honoring the heroes on flight 93:

Let's Roll

by Neil Young

I know I said I love you,
I know you know it's true,
I got to put the phone down,
And do what we gotta do.

One's standing in the aisle way,
Two more at the door,
We got to get inside there,
Before they kill some more.

Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

No time for indecision,
We got to make a move,
I hope that we're forgiven,
For what we gotta do.

How this all got started,
I'll never understand,
I hope someone can fly this thing,
Get us back to land.

Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

No one has the answers,
But one thing is true,
You got to turn on evil,
When it's comin' after you.

You got to face it down,
And when it tries to hide,
You got to go in after it,
And never be denied.

Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

Let's roll for freedom,
Let's roll for love,
Goin' after Satan,
On the wings of a dove.

Let's roll for justice,
Let's roll for truth,
Let's not let our children,
Grow up fearful in their youth.

Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

Listen to it here. It is not on any CD, it is a new release.

My wife saw Gene Simmons of KISS on "The View" and he said, "Hey, when they come after your family, you go get them. You don't fool around," or strong words to that effect.

I always thought that it was a piece of liberal s^%# show, from all the stories and comments on the show -- about how gross, vile, disgusting it was.

Then I watched it, and to my delight, it is sooo good at slamming liberal idealogy.

Peter Jennings should take a lesson from this former Canadian.

Is this the same Neil Young that dedicated his song "Piece of Crap" to George W. Bush?

These guys would tell a Jew they're Nazi's, and would tell Muslims they were Jews... They'll say anything to get a rise outta someone, in other words.

I don't really hold the two in high regard. The very first episode of South Park was mildy amusing, though.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I remember Neil Young raising more than a few eyebrows in the 80s when he announced he supported Reagan because "we need to keep America strong."

[Behind Liberal Lines]

The absolute BEST episode of "South Park" is the "save the rainforest" episode where their new hippie teacher makes them take a field trip to Columbia to save the rainforest, they end up getting lost, attacked by local floral, fauna, and indigeous people, and are finally saved by a group of heroic white american construction workers who are clear cutting the rainforest. The final credits contain "facts" about how many deaths per year are caused by the rain forest.
