Akira13 1,036 Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Now let's not turn this into a political debate. Whether or not you agree with the message these guys are trying to get heard, you have to agree this isn't something you see everyday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o762HKxYMeA&search=Bush%20Was%20Right I thought it was quite a catchy song, myself.

Toy Machine 240 Report post Posted April 28, 2006 Michale Graves of The Misfits 2nd Carnation is very right and sometimes posts on www.conservativepunk.com. The idea makes me laugh, but oh well. From the site: At Conservative punk, our mission is threefold: To inform today's youth that identify themselves with the punk scene with the facts, rather than rumor and conspiracy theory. To encourage today's youth to register to vote and become engaged in politics. To encourage youth voters to draw their own conclusions rather than indoctrinate them into a certain way of thinking. Punk music has been, and still is, one of the most heavy-handed genres of music there is. Unfortunately the topics of such heavy-handed songs are almost always seeped in left wing propaganda, bumper sticker rallying calls and oversimplifications of otherwise complex topics. Unfortunately the websites established by such bands to further their political views don't offer much more by way of information and truth than the music does. We at conservative punk mean to be the foil to this trend. We plan on filling in the gaps. We will offer our own views while still urging young punks to search for their own conclusions. Hopefully in doing so we will energize and excite young people enough to become engaged in politics and exercise their power at the ballot box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falling-angel-111 736 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 That's pretty cool actually, I didn't even know these kind of bands existed. "A penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insides, or a fortune for your disaster." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
