I ride to work with a right-winger.

[Delarage]

She has a bumper sticker on her car saying "We Still Pray" so I went to the We Still Pray.org website and it's pure right-wing, Phariseean crap ("Call your Senator to support Bill Frist's marriage amendment...."). She also has a "Freedom isn't Free" (i.e, Bush is right about the Iraq war). Then, the other day, she has a CD in the car, playing softly, some song with a line about "Save the trees, kill the children, that's always the way....."

If I wasn't conserving fuel and keeping money out of the Repukes' and Oil Companies' hands, I'd get out of the car and walk.

I occasionally drive and the worst thing I have on my car is Joe Biden sticker. I should slap some rabid stuff on and play my Rage Against the Machine tapes.

[tabasco]

1. Maybe get an mp3 player.

I would just put the headphones on when she played her RW tunage.

[Jack from Charlotte]

36. Ask her help in chossing one of the following bumper stickers...

as a birthday gift for a friend..... These are at Cafe Press and I'm trying to decide which to get for my brother's birtday.


You voted for W so shut up about gas prices.

Bush is listening. Use big words.

Bush's approval rating in the 30's?
At least it's still higher than his IQ.

Draft Republicans

The DECIDER is an idiot

You voted for W so shut up about gas prices.

"Fixed Iraq. Now I'll fix New Orleans. (Picture of the moron beneath)

The Moron

[Sinti]

2. I'm jealous, I used to pray, back in 2001--2 apparently the answer was no

Rage Rocks :headbang:

Edited to add:

I'm sorry you have to ride with this weirdo-winger. Thanks for taking one for the team there. Remember, Mother Nature loves you for it.

[Erika]

3. I'd ditch her

She's the type that is destroying this country.

[AndyTiedye]

4. How Does She Feel About the Way Casino Jack Abramoff USED the Xtian Right?

to play one casino off against another.

[NewJeffCT]

27. and, how Abramoff & DeLay's right hand man

Michael Scanlon, referred to the Christian right as the "Whackos"

[demosincebirth]

5. I'd walk.

[B Calm]

6. You need a wireless FM MP3 transmitter. My NEUROS

has one built in. What ever ever radio station this freak is tuned into, you could tune your wireless MP3 player to play on the same station. Imagine a drive to work with Mike Malloy blaring through her car radio. he hee

[seabeyond]

7. get pinks dear mr president. n/t

[proud patriot]

8. My favorite new bumper sticker is

Annoy a republican
Defend the Constitution

[tularetom]

9. Get rid of that Joe Biden sticker

and replace it with a "Worst President Ever" sticker. Then download "I'm the Decider" and "Takin My Country Back" and "Impeach the President" and play 'em real loud.

[dorktv]

10. I would have said "that cd is incredibly offensive to me. Please turn it

off." It might be her vehicle but she should respect other people's wishes with music.

[genieroze]

11. Rage Against the Machine lead singer is RW, or so I heard.

Then again so is Nugent. I'll still listen. Rage Against the Machine is a bit harsh, play some Micheal Jackson. lol

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. Ummm.... I don't think so.

21. Then why did they stage a protest concert outside the 2000 Democratic

National Convention. Were they protesting the pukes? I remember seeing one of those guys from rage on MTV doing a interview and he said he supported Bush. Unless he was being a smart ass.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. They may have been protesting at the Dems, but they don't support

Bush. Did you read the articles? ??

It's because they're more RADICAL than the Dems.

I'd like to see a link where one of the band says they support Bush.

But I don't suppose you'll be producing that anytime soon.

On Edit: I suppose all the protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago were all Republicans too, LOL.

[genieroze]

34. How can I post a link on something I saw and heard on MTV years ago?

Like I said maybe he was being a smart ass. I read the links and most of their songs were done during the Clinton administration. Their music seems anti-establishment of any powers that happen to be. I do agree with many of their lyrics. Being that they are no longer a group we won't be hearing any new music from them as a group. "I suppose all the protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago were all Republicans too" Well, Nixon won but Johnson did send ground troops in Vietnam. There was a reason for that protest. Why did they protest the 2000 Democratic Convention? The only thing I found was from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Democratic_National_Convention#Rage_Against_The_Machine_Concert

"On August 14, the opening day of the convention, RATM held a protest concert outside Staples Center at the same time as the main speaker of the night, President Bill Clinton. The crowd in the Protest Zone had swelled into thousands. While RATM did not hesitate to play its politically charged songs and make general complaints about their perceived corruption of the political system, the stopped short of inciting protests or violence in the Protest Zone."

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

35. You can't (link an MTV clip). But my point is, all available information,

and there's a lot of it, points completely AGAINST what you think you remember seeing. :hi:

[genieroze]

37. Fine whatever, I never seen it with my own eyes, or heard it with

my own ears. I don't care. I'm glad they are not RW. :toast::beer:

[RandomKoolzip]

15. I heard Pete Seeger is now a Promise Keeper, too.

:evilgrin:

[asthmaticeog]

29. Abbie Hoffman was a proud Goldwater man.

[tkmorris]

19. No he isn't

In fact he is about the most leftist musician I can think of.

Here is a partial listing of "recommended reading" from Zack de la Rocha, lead singer of the now defunct RATM.

# "A New Society: Reflections for Today's World"

# "The Marx-Engels Reader (2nd ed.)"

Not exactly a PNAC'er is he?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. Nice list - he left out the Autobiography of Malcolm X

but then again I hear he's a right winger.

[VolcanoJen]

20. NFW.

And I say, crank that Rage on the way to work, Delarage.

28. You're correct on Nugent, but wrong on RATM

[CanuckAmok]

31. I knew it!

I always wondered about those guys. Billy Bragg, too.

Me thinkst they doth protest too much! lol!

And Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land is Your Land" in reaction to liberal policy on immigration!

And Phil Ochs wrote that "Love Me I'm a Liberal" propaganda number to divide the Left. I always knew he was an undercover RWer; that's why Clinton's penis had him killed.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. The 4th and 5th stanza of "Your Land" are EXTREMELY RW!!!!111@

"As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me."

[tinfoil tiaras]

12. That sucks x a million.

For music choices get "When the President Talks to God" by Bright Eyes. All time favorite anti-bush song.

As for that right wing drivel "music", who sings it, besides the obvious (Lee Greenwood..etc). I would like to know. So I can make sure not to dl them or go to any of their concerts. I don't like much right-wing music, i.e. most country and christian, so I'm probably not going to risk it...I'm just curious.

However, it does baffle me when right-wingers like liberal bands/artists like R.E.M., Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen (Born in the USA-big time, though its really an anti-vietnam song..dumbasses), Bright Eyes (for the "indie" repub..haha yeah right) and Green Day (for the "anti-establishment" repub...LOL).:wtf:

Right Wingers make me :puke:

[mitchtv]

13. My condolences

Why does the saying "Beware of false prophets" keep coming into my mind?
I generally store it up , until they have enough of their foot up their mouths to be knockeddown decisively with no more that a line or two.Try to keep it witty, freeps get confused by wit.

[LittleClarkie]

16. I still pray too

I pray she wakes the fuck up.

[Rosco T.]

17. Buy an IPod, get some classic Malloy shows....

.. and educate her (and drive slow that day).

[Jack Rabbit]

18. !!

[meisje]

24. When she is at a high rate of speed,draw an upside down cross on your head

and start speaking in tongues. Video taping the episode would be key.

[rucky]

26. Wipe boogers under her seat. n/t

[deaniac21]

30. You'd still be conserving fuel if you walked and you'd be

getting good exercise!

[noonwitch]

32. Play Dylan for her

I was asking a fundie coworker about christian music (I am always looking for a new groove), and asked her what she liked. She asked me what christian music did I know and like and I told her "U2 and Bob Dylan". She responded with "That's not christian music". I challenged her to listen to their lyrics.

I got into gospel music instead of contemporary christian music, anyways, mainly because it's an original style, not something that is just copying mainstream rock acts, using christian lyrics. I do like Rebecca St. James' voice, though. I've heard some of her songs over the past few years.

[tinfoil tiaras]

38. I hate contemporary Christian Music

It sounds like they're trying too hard and it sucks. Most of them support Dubya anyway...damn, rock music does not equal republican. And i find it really funny when republicans like blatantly liberal bands/artists because I could never like an artist that was republican and open about it. I cant understand how they can like liberal artists...bleh...strange.
