Never know what you'll find. "A tribute to our soldiers at a local USO show from the founder to of the super band KISS! WARNING: Not Barry Hussein Obama friendly... Gene Simmons, a natural born Israeli, but Americanized citizen (didn't cross the border illegally and tax our health care and education system) talks about "God & Country" here, so if that bothers you... "

I saw this on his show last year, I think. It made my eyes tear up and gave me chills...Good stuff.

Stands to reason. Thirty-five years ago Gene outraged the stuffy, pious, corrupt sensibilities of authority by painting his face and sticking his tongue out.

Today, he outrages the stuffy, pious, and corrupt authority of the media and the cultural left by figuratively doing the same.

Simmons was very outspoken against the celebrity critics who criticized George Bush and the Iraq war....I believe his mother is a holocaust survivor and he said while he disagreed with GWB on many issues, offering a hand to free oppressed people was always noble (or something to that extent)...

Yeah, he took his daughter to the military hospital to visit the troops a while back.

Gene is an Israeli jew and Republican.

And is really really awesome.

Everybody loves a little KISS!

Gene Simmons is my favorite former NYC public school teacher. Sorry Ron Jeremy!

This is directly from his show, "Family Jewels." While this concert is moving, it's nothing compared to his visit, along with his daughter Sofie, to a VA hospital. I was crying like a baby during the episode.

Something that's not widely known about Gene, who is an unabashed self promoter, is the amount of time and energy he puts towards charitable actions, without drawing attention to himself.

Gene is a proud American Jew, who was born in Israel. That's his heritage, one from which he's never hidden, but he's American by his decisions. It's an important distinction.

He has an insurance plan to save taxes with Obama. Gene is a showman and a real American.

Yes, but can Simmons do the Ron Jeremy trick?

Some Gene classics:

"America welcomed me and America welcomed my family. If you have a problem with America, then you have a problem with me."

During the 2004 election:

"If I am walking a dog in a rough neigborhood, I would much rather be walking a pit bull than a french poodle."

The whole KISS thing..was always just an illusion. An act.

The real Gene Simmons is a genius and a very a good man. I'm glad he's on our side.

Gene’s interview with Bill Shatner on Raw Nerve is worth watching. I DVR’d it on my father’s DVR so he could watch it, and see a profile of a true American capitalist hero. Even though my pop hates Gene’s type of music, he enjoyed the interview... especially when he was talking about coming to America.
