The Issue of Terrorism Is Not A Jobs Issue
"Actor Mandy Patinkin suggested that, in regard to the Middle East, if we give them the best roads, the best medical technology, agriculture, and infrastructure they would not feel cheated. The crux of his argument is that if they (the Middle East) have all of these amenities afforded them, they won't be so inclined to go after Western civilization. The argument is reminiscent of many on the left who have made the suggestion that jobs are the key to ending terrorism."

Kid Rock Bitch

Free Shipping + 3 Free Gifts



You will always have to remember that one unique thing about conservatives, is that we don't look the other way when someone on our side says something not quite right, nor do we condone such actions.

For us, that's one big separation from liberals who tend to defend their side even in the worst of times.

So, when Kid Rock on Fox & Friends on Friday called Joy Behar a bitch on live TV, not only did the host, Steve Doocy, who was with him at the time at Kid Rock's new restaurant in Nashville ask him to apologize for the remark, he also apologized stating that Fox News did not condone the remark, nor did they stand by it.

I commend Fox News for doing the right thing.

Should Kid Rock now be barred from future guesting on Fox News? Maybe. I mean, the remark was crude, and frankly unnecessary. I have always said of politics, when it gets ugly, that is when we need to call it out no matter what side it pertains to, and say, "Hey, that's not right."

Let's also not forget that not only has Joy Behar, but several other members of The View's cast made very crude remarks about republicans and President Trump. 

But two wrongs don't make a right. Right? I mean, that's what most of us have been taught.

No matter what anyone thinks of Joy Behar, the cast of The View, or liberals in general, it's just a line that should not be crossed. Of course Kid Rock is going to get some backlash for the comment. But let's also be fair and say that the left will hold him way more accountable for the remark than anyone on the left who has ever made crude remarks.

It's just the way it works.

Joy Behar did offer an invitation for Kid Rock to come onto their set and "have a beer" with them. Will he go on? I don't know. So far he has not responded to the invitation. Should he go on? I think he should. If nothing else it can be an opportunity for Kid Rock to at least get his point across about why conservatism works and liberalism does not. He probably wouldn't be able to get through to anyone anyway. But hiding from the remark, and hiding from the liberals it was aimed at is also not a good idea.

I should point out that the remark does not rise to the level that a severed Trump head joke did recently. So, I don't think that a move should be made by Fox News to not allow Kid Rock on the show ever again.
