Commentary and analysis on American politics, culture, and national identity, U.S. foreign policy and international relations, and the state of education
- from a neoconservative perspective! - Keeping an eye on the communist-left so you don't have to!
These protests are a very healthy thing for Americans to do! It is in our blood. Jefferson (The hero of the Democrats) and Reagan (the hero of the Republicans + TR) would agree – stop the BIG government! American citizens do not need to be taken care of by an impersonal, all-knowing and parental government entity!
Just totally ironic that the video uses the Twisted Sister song. I guess it takes 20 years for a band considered dangerous by conservatives to be embraced by conservatives.
From wikipedia: " Despite being comedic in nature, the videos featured violence against parents and teachers, which placed the band under heavy criticism by conservative organizations. They were singled out by the PMRC in 1985. Twisted Sister songs "Under the Blade" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" were specifically mentioned in the associated Senate hearings. Snider was one of the few musicians to testify before a Senate committee in these hearings on September 19, 1985. (He was addressed formally by the committee counsel as "Mr. Sister".)["
