1. What is "decency"? Who defines it? As far as I'm concerned, the FCC is indecent with their censorship.
2. It doesn't mean they are being "censored" if they aren't given a venue at the Presidential Inaugural to speak.
Agreed, but the problem is that this reinforces the image of the GOP as a bunch of old rich country clubbers that want to ban fun. That hurts the GOP in some areas as much as the dems are hurt by being a bunch of aborting wimps who tax and spend us while grabbing our guns.
Geez Dan -- I've seen you posting at FR for a while now. I think you'd recognize "indecency" if you saw it.
"The problem [with banning Kid Rock from the Inaugural] is that this reinforces the image of the GOP as a bunch of old rich country clubbers that want to ban fun. That hurts the GOP in some areas as much as the dems are hurt by being a bunch of aborting wimps who tax and spend us while grabbing our guns."
I respectfully disagree.
Kid Rock has already performed for the troops several times; The GOP "Big Tent" has been fairly open and tolerant of pro-"choice" Pubbies AND RINOs; And it's the "Country Club" Republicans who are THE "moderates" of the party.
The issue at hand is NOT "censorship"; Given Kid Rock's genre of "entertainment," it's rather the question of propriety of such a performer at a venue like THE WHITE HOUSE.
Do you really believe young people in this country are basing their future vote on whether Kid Rock performs at the Presidential Inaugural?
What ever happened to "clean" fun? Does it have to include profanity to be fun?
