Kid Rock, the vulgar rock-rapper who initially had been lined up to headline the youth concert next week as part of the inauguration festivities for President Bush, will not be apppearing after all. "He's not performing," a spokesman for the Presidential Inauguration Committee confirmed for WND. No further information about the cancellation of Kid Rock was available at press time. Word that the rapper will not join JoJo and Hilary Duff as performers at the Jan. 18 concert, which will be hosted by Bush twins Barbara and Jenna, comes after WorldNetDaily and other outlets publicized the fact that the committee was planning to feature Kid Rock, which caused several pro-family organizations to ask their supporters to protest his appearance.

Wasn't Mullah Omar once quoted as saying something along that line?
Yep, I caught on, see post #203
Most assuredly, it is not. The harping squeaky wheels are not at all representative of voting patterns.
Free to sin, free to be Saved.
I wonder where the "If Bush wants him, he should play" people are today. Obviously, Bush didn't want him.
Aside from this, Kid Rock music should not be sold to young people - due to lewd lyrics. I think we are throwing the kids in our country to the trash heap by allowing such garbage in the open air - in the name of free speech. If yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre is wrong, then this should be too because it leads to more teen pregnancies and abortion.
If it's a private party, I have no problem with it. As for kids who may hear Kid Rock, it should be up to the parents to determine whether they want their kids to be exposed to him.
My wife and I probably cut my kids -- I have a seventeen year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son -- more slack than most parents do. Although I do so, pointing out that what they see is not how they should necessarily act. And I do have limits to what I allow them to be exposed to.
I'd have no problems with my 17-year-old hearing Kid Rock. My nine-year-old would be another story -- but then, I wouldn't be having him attend any events on his own, in the first place.

That's ridiculous. Haven't you ever heard of personal responsibility? How about parents taking control of and monitoring THEMSELVES what it is their children view and/or listen to? What kind of values they learn?
That is what conservatism is supposed to be about, I thought. Not you or anyone else telling me what my children can and cannot learn, listen to, or watch.
Gladly. :^)
Done!
I'm into Switchfoot and I'm not particularly religious.
Well, I hope Rush the druggie and Bennett the gambler aren't there.
Why?
They're not good enough for you?
Get a clue.
Both men have likely received personal invitations.
You got any extra tickets to that????
Actually, I'd kinda want to be directed to the .jpgs of the event. 8>)
As I say, "sort of a microcosm". :) LOL
There are liberals "posing" as conservatives infiltrating all types of conservative online boards.
The posters here who support Kid Rock may "claim" to be one of us - but it's a lie, a deception.
They're just trying to sidetrack the thread.
They're angry because so many conservatives took action by emailing the inaugural people and succeeded in getting Kid Rock off the roster.
Maybe if we conservatives continue fighting the good fight - more of these liberals will leave for Canada!!!!
LOLOL!! Now there's a cause I can support!! :o) :o)
(My apologies to any conservative residing in Canada....maybe there's a Pacific island someplace?) *grin*
I sure doesn't take much to bring out the Bush Haters.
If Bush doesn't want him to play, it's his party.
1. Apples and oranges. Yelling fire in a crowded theatre is legal - if there is a fire. Unrelated.
2. Kid Rock music doesn't lead to pregancies and abortions any more than guns lead to crime. It's an inanimate object.
I suspect the people here posting that Kid Rock is fine are liberals trying to skew Free Republic as a conservative bastion of true thinking.
Wrong. I'm a conservative republican who is pro-life, pro-2a, anti-tax, and distrusts BIG GOVERNMENT.
Okay. Thanks.
hey now... she don't look a day over 17
