Democratic Party rock singer Bruce Springsteen spoke out against President Donald Trump at a concert in Perth, Australia on Sunday, declaring, “We are the new American resistance.”

The show was the opening night of Springsteen and his E Street Band’s ‘Summer 2017’ tour of Australia and New Zealand.

The rally in Sydney, Australia was overshadowed by the skywriting of Trump’s name overhead.

“The E Street Band is glad to be here in Western Australia. But we’re a long way from home, and our hearts and spirits are with the hundreds of thousands of women and men that marched yesterday in every city in America and in Melbourne who rallied against hate and division and in support of tolerance, inclusion, reproductive rights, civil rights, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, the environment, wage equality, gender equality, healthcare, and immigrant rights. We stand with you. We are the new American resistance.”

– Bruce Springsteen – January 22, 2017 Perth, Australia”

Backstreets reported last week that Springsteen played a two hour private acoustic concert at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama and about 200-250 staffers on January 12.

The Dixie Chicks garnered notoriety for trashing President Bush at a London concert in 2003. While Springsteen is in no danger of facing a similar career nosediving backlash from his fans as the Chicks had a conservative country music fan base, he will still likely face criticism for his overseas attack on President Trump from some quarters.

So what is it you intend to resist, Bruce? Bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US? Rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure? What is it you intend to try to prevent?

Springsteen was a shaggy haired punk in 1975. Now he is shaggy brained.

“It is ALL about defending immoral practices. Nothing else really matters to Democrats or their supporters. That is really ALL that matters to them.”

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan.

Satan knows that leftism is bad for humanity. That’s why he invented it, and that’s why he flim-flams those he can into trying to force it on us all.

The American entries are doing pretty well in Melbourne at the Australian Open. Their wins on the court accrue to Trump. And if they don’t like it, then lose.

The height of stupidity is declaring that you are going the “resist” something that hasn’t even taken place, yet... and may NEVER take place.

Not real bright, “Boss”
