The band is has always made a point to give us their opinion, how does the TenClub mass feel about people wearing ant-Obama shirts to the upcoming shows?
As a fellow Libertarian, I would suggest something more positive; maybe a Ron Paul shirt. In my opinion, anti-whatever shirts and images like your avatar contribute to the shit discourse in our country right now. We have a lot of problems...show your support for where you believe the solutions are. Telling someone who or what you don't like doesn't open a dialogue, it just creates antipathy.

Saying you don't care is one thing. Telling someone to 'leave it home/there's no place for that here' is akin to saying "Shut up" in my book. And that's the hypocrisy I speak of. (I'm assuming you're referring to me as one of the sinipers.)
Well, I have always said I wasn't very good at counting....I think that when people start voicing an opinion; like leave the bullshit at home; that is somehow treated by snipers like you as something different than "I'm coming to a show with a shirt that I think will sum up my feelings about the president".....the crude remark about the KKK is ridiculous, but to me very appropriate and a pointed way to say "phhhhhhhh, cmon".... because the message behind the Tea Party sign of Obama being a socialist-marxist Nazi are just as ridiculous, but made far more so because they are being promoted to a national audience by a classically fascist organization....Fox...yes, look up fascism and what corporations mean in the real definition......I tell you what,....let's start over. OP and crew, define socialism, define marxism, define fascism, define Naziism and then meet me in A Moving Train.....I add on here to counter the "snipers" not to steal threads....I know that is threatening, but I am only 12, so don't fear me...Formally known as Tackalac before being formally known as Vedderwt,,,,....release my old name and posts....
