I always try to separate the art from the artist. If I didn't, I'd be missing out on a lot of good things.

As odd as this may sound--and I readily admit this is 90% aesthetics--I can listen to Rage Against the Machine despite their politics but Green Day irks me beyond tolerance. It's probably because in addition to being lefties they're also a bunch of whining puss-tards.

I can't stand whining.

See I love Green Day and it has nothing to do with politics. Their "Dookie" album came out when I was in high school, and they always take me back to my high school days. And "Dookie" was an awesome album. I don't listen so much to them now, but I always liked the sound of Billie Joe Armstrong's voice.

Green Day?

No talent hacks.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Uh oh, the DU would freak out if they saw this, I guess I'll transcribe it so they won't have to listen to Mark talking about it :-)

Here's Mark Levin talking about Rush's wedding, he talks about Elton John starting at the 1:04 mark in the video, he says (get the Valium ready for the DU) he says that Elton expalined to Mark that he's about tearing down walls not building them up, and when Rush had his illness in Hawaii he was at the same hotel as Elton John and Elton asked management how Rush was doing and when Rush and his then girlfriend heard about it they contacted Elton through his manager and within a short period of time Rush and Kathryn asked Elton's manager if he'd perform at their wedding, and Elton said he wants me at his wedding, and Rush did, and Elton explained to the over 400 guests that he and Rush kept up a fairly regular e-mail exchange, so there he was and he was gracious and superb and is under attack from the left, we're far more tolerant then those on the left.

I honestly don't know why people care. I have friends who have total opposite views than I do. But life is about way more than politics. Politics may affect our lives, but I wouldn't trade my friends for the world. Good people come in all kinds of packages.

It's so true. I have a lot of moonbat friends on Facebook, and I try not to get bent out of shape at their political yammerings. But I just noticed that one of them is no longer on my friends list. In fact, I can't find him on Facebook at all. He seems to have completely blocked me. I'm not even sure which thing I posted on my wall sent him over the edge.  :evillaugh:

I have moonbat idiot friends too.  We remain friends because they completely understand I have absolutely no respect for their dishonest worldview.  They know I cannot be fooled.  I don't think much of them.  We get along fine.

I have a great relationship with a few liberals I know, politics aside they're cool people.

Ditto.  They know I'm set in my views--which just happen to be borne out time and time again.  I don't rub it in, though, chiefly because they expect me to--it's what they would do.  That (not rubbing it in) really can get to them. :-) :naughty:

The irony of the OP...

Elton John already made his money off of him/her... Not listening anymore is completely irrelevant to his bank account...  :rotf:

Well, Elton technically lives in Vegas so he can keep most of his money. If his main residence was in Britain he'd have to fork ~85% of his entire income to Sheriff John.

One the left, racial purity is second only to ideological purity.

And when someone's as big as Elton John, a lot of the public feel like they own him.  He's not just Elton John, he is their Elton John, and when Elton John performs at Rush Limbaugh's wedding, it reflects badly on the DUmmie.

Something tells me your liberal friends wouldn't put up with the idiots that post on DU for the most part.

If that is directed at me (and I am not sure it was), but no my conservative friends wouldn't. I actually don't have too many "liberal" friends. MS is pretty conservative.

LOL...that's cool.

I just meant, if you have liberal friends who have liberal views, but they accept you as a friend anyway, then they aren't the type to hang out with the idiot types that hang out on DU in the first place, hope that makes more sense.

I do have a few liberal MS friends who would probably (ok definitely) be disgusted by a lot of things said at DU. They'd agree with some stuff, but they'd also see there are some loons out there.

Soleil, I think you should just come to the dark side.  The first step is the hardest, admitting it to yourself.  The rest will just follow.   :p

To be fair, I know of a few people who's views are like mine for the most part, but whom I would not want to associate with. They are just as wacked out as the DU types. But for the most part, if a person it crazy, he's usually a leftist.

lol Mom? Is that you?

I admit many of my family members are somewhat perplexed at my political views. My brother considers himself an independent, but I don't really know why. He would never vote any way but republican. I have always considered myself left of center. Not far left, but left nonetheless.
