No, the only real problem here is that people do not care that the troops love Kid Rock and that he supports the troops and the President.

You all are more concerned about some "naughty words" then the moral of our troops and their families.

It is Self-centered, self indulgent madness that we are talking about- not Christianity.

I say this as a Christan -you do not speak for me.

Well, that's why President Bush decided to eliminate some of the self-centered, self indulgent madness from the inauguration celebration.

"The only real problem here is that people do not care that the troops love Kid Rock and that he supports the troops and the President."

Nope, you're wrong.

"You all are more concerned about some 'naughty words' then the moral of our troops and their families."

Wrong again.

"It is Self-centered, self indulgent madness that we are talking about- not Christianity."

Nobody ever said "IT" was about "Christianty." Wrong characteization again.

"I say this as a Christan -you do not speak for me."

Diva -- you were 4 for 4.

Your post underscores the wholesale misconstruing of the issue at hand.

Many of you still have comprehension problems that even 2000+ posts can't fix.

The issue simply was whether a Kid Rock should be performing at the Presidential Inaugural Gala as a matter of propriety.

The President must clearly have had the very same misgivings as many of us, and decided against it.

I suppose any gnashing of your teeth must now be pointed in the direction of the "fuddy-fuddy," Talibanesque," "Bible-thumping" President. HE DIS-A-GREES with YOU.

OR, will you all hold your fire because you respect his opinion?

Funny how that works.
