Things That Don't Go Together

Nothing is quite as anti-establishment, underground or hardcore as embracing the political movement that controls every branch of American government with the full support of the corporate elite, at least not for the people behind conservativepunk.com. See, the idea of conservative punk rock is counter-intuitive , they have to be right. At conservativepunk.com you'll be able to find the finest pseudo-intellectual commentary available on the internet. Here is one shining example of the kind of writing you can expect:

The agenda of the Democratic liberal left in our country is now being propagated and dressed as an agenda of punk rock through a recently launched web site called punkvoter.com. Their pledged mission is to convince 500,000 of today's' youth into believing that the current administration poses a threat of an oppressive, monolithic state that will crush their cherished differences and impose strict conformity on the world. Their efforts to "educate" their audience about what is really going on is an educational farce consisting of unqualified teachers espousing vulgar versions of Marx, Freud, and Reich. They are contributing to and feeding a fire that if not dowsed could have serious consequences to the security and future of our country. Their doctrine is dangerous and being set forth into naive minds.

Rebellion against the center of society and its politics is nothing new to punk rock. The stakes, however, have become much higher than any other time then in the past. What happened on September 11, 2001 has forever changed the dynamic of not only our country, but our lives, and if not paid proper attention to, the politics and anti-politics of the young will become more and more dangerous to everyone and everything.

Whoa, that's pretty deep stuff, like a System of a Down lyric.

Just like the Corner, AndrewSullivan.com and every other conservative political site, they let their readers SPEAKOUT by e-mailing them and then selectively posting reader responses they like, such as this one:

When president Bush thinks of the people who support him as our leader, I wonder if he sees the 20 year old with a devilock and a pierced lip wearing a leather jacket and sporting patches of the punk bands who curse his name in their songs. I doubt it. Most people could never imagine a Republican punk rocker.

I often confuse the hell out of people who drive behind me and read my bumper stickers. Between the Misfits skull stickers, Dead Kennedys stickers, and the bumper stickers that read "Abortion stops a beating heart" and "I support Israel" or the "Bush/Cheney" sticker, I always see a lot of puzzled faces in my rear view mirror.

To summarize the above text, I'd just like to say "pay attention to meeeeeeeeeeeeee".
