Punk Republicans
Exhibit designed by Docent
Shark
It's a sure sign of The End Times: along with oxymorons such as 'military
intelligence' and 'compassionate conservative', we now have to contend with
'Conservative Punks'. One pictures a raving, mohawk sporting, safety-pin
punctured roomful of Young Republicans spitting on President Bush as he
spews his special brand of Facism while accompanied by a trio of bad
guitarists.
And if we're lucky, we might actually see this come to pass.
From this Sunday's New York Times:
"With his mohawk, ratty fatigues, assorted chains and his menagerie of
tattoos -- swallows on each shoulder, a nautical star on his back and the
logo of the Bouncing Souls, a New York City punk band, on his right leg --
22-year-old Nick Rizzuto is the very picture of counterculture alienation.
But it's when he talks politics that Mr. Rizzuto sounds like a real radical,
for a punk anyway. Mr. Rizzuto is adamantly in favor of lowering taxes and
for school vouchers, and against campaign finance laws; his favorite Supreme
Court justice is Clarence Thomas; he plans to vote for President Bush in
November; and he's hard-core into capitalism.
Mr. Rizzuto is the founder of Conservative Punk, one of a handful of Web
sites and blogs that have sprung up recently as evidence of a heretofore
latent political entity: Republican punks."
==============
"Punks" supporting a Right-Wing Christian neo-facist regime that is for
censorship, school prayer, and overt authoritarian interventions in the
private lives of American citizens?
Shouldn't they be considered "Skinheads"?
So what's next in America's drive to make Satire obsolete?
"Jews for Hitler"?
And just in case anyone has forgotten what 'Punk' was all about before it
was signed, sealed, marketed, and delivered into the shit-stream of
Corporate-sponsored Consumer products, here's a reminder from the original
punks:
"I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passerby
Anarchy for the UK
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
In the city
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best
I use the rest
I use the enemy
I use Anarchy
'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
It's the only way to be
And I wanna be an anarchist
Get pissed
Destroy!
- or-
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the queen
She aint no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future no future
No future for you
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
'Cos tourists are money
Our figures head
Is not what she seems
Oh god save history
God save your mad parade
Oh lord god have mercy
All crimes are paid
When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future you're future
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In England's dreaming
No future no future
No future for you
No future no future
No future for me
===========
Four more years of the Bush Junta?
NO FUTURE INDEED.

Note from The Curator: While we heartily endorse and agree with everything Docent Shark says all the time, no matter what, no matter where, a couple of things should be mentioned: The Sex Pistols were one of the greatest rock and roll bands there ever were, but they were by no means the "original" punks. Many came before, but the band who most directly influenced their creation was The Ramones, who were, quite possibly, even greater than the Pistols. The Curator takes a backseat to no one in his love for The Ramones, but it should be pointed out that one of the things that made them so great was the fact that they were as dumb as posts (In a good way, however. Not like this ). They were serious dimbulbs, and it's what made their music so great. It is also, however, what made Johnny Ramone a card carrying Republican.
