Bruce Springsteen Opens His Tour With Rant About ‘Treasonous’ Trump

[skews13]

I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I for one when I buy a ticket to go see a performer, band, play, whatever, I am not paying to see their political rants on display....

First off, tickets like these can range anywhere from $350 per seat, all the way to $1,000....And for that kind of money I need to hear their TDS on display?

Now, I am not a fan of Springsteen, and wouldn't consider seeing his show, but none the less, lots of people are fans of his music, not necessarily his political thoughts....He should just shut up and sing.

I don't care about Taylor Swift...She's a pop star, so what?

Can you tell me why her opinions should matter more than yours or mine?

 

[j-mac]

Springsteen just pulled a Dixie Chicks. Badmouthed the president while overseas. Not very smart.

Only problem now is that when the Dixie Chics did it, there were still true patriot dems that didn't like what they did either....Today, not so much...Democrats have been taken over by progressive cultural Marxists, and look to destroy the US as it exists...

66 was a little before my time. But, think of the difference then and now…$5 in 66 wasn’t going to break anyone…The pricing was to entice teens who were the fan base. What teens today do you know that have $1,500 for the cheap seats laying around? It’s a pure rip off.

In 1966, min wage was $1.85. If you worked 2 hours you earned enough to see Rolling Stones, Byrds, Beach Boys or Ray Charles.

Today at $1500 a ticket for Taylor Swift, a teen would have to work a hundred hours.

Same goes for sports.
You used to be able to go to a Baseball game for a couple of bucks and NFL and NBA were less than ten.

I agree, prices are way too high for these things...

They are out of reach for the average working American anymore...

When my kids were small, I could take my son to go see the Orioles, get him a hot dog and a coke, I'd get a hot dog and a beer, and we could do that for about $50, including tickets....today? Not even close...It's a travesty...

But, really, that's a different subject we'd probably agree alot on...the point is, we pay outrageous prices to see these people, what should we care about their political opinions?

It is entertainment in general
Taking your family to Disneyworld for the day will cost you $1500 and it is so crowded you get to go on four rides

Yep....Now, imagine if you wanted to do that and you got a MAGA message at every turn....

And how would you feel if you paid that, and you had to hear blaring announcements as to how great Trump is, and all he’s done to help America recover from the Biden years?

 

[Scoutster]

Springsteen is just an aging overrated rock musician that hates America.

What if you went to a Trump rally and heard all that?
It is what you expect to hear at a Trump rally.

Springsteens politics are well known. He sings about social issues.
You get what you pay for.

Get a grip dude.

"Destroy the US." nope.

This is a warning to civilizations. Gratification in reality is not worth those prices. TV, social media and other modern technologies pay for a lot of this also. In your home with the large screen HD TV and all of the channels and streaming people are mostly in for a minimum of 200 dollars a month and potentially much more. Especially with pay per view and other have to see it right now entertainment.

Yep. That is their goal. Then to remake it in their Marxist image. For their own power and wealth.

What exactly is it that these people are doing, you know, to turn it into their Marxist image for their own power and wealth.

Very similar to their stated goals It's not really a secret. They want to weaken our society from the inside out.
1. Eliminate capitalism
2. Overwhelm our social services system (welfare for all, open borders)
3. Eliminate the use of fossil fuels which is the engine of capitalism.
4. Eliminate Christianity, particularly the Catholic Church, since it has been the primary impediment to Marxism.
5. Erase America's shared history and icons.
6. Rot our moral fabric through normalization of gay marriage and transgenderism.
7. Destroy the traditional family unit, through upheaval of traditional roles, doing away of marriage, feminization of men, eliminating the need for fathers, masculinization of women, negativizing childbearing.


The cartoon you post above has nothing to do with the far left. Lying is the foundation of Marxism. Ruthless torture and murder is always their MO. The have no moral core or sexual restrictions. They don't believe in marriage. They promote prostitution which by definition involves trafficking of minor girls. All you have to do is look at the officially atheist countries in world history.

You use a lot of talking points.

These are the talking points of the Marxists themselves. These are their stated goals. They're not a secret.

Who on this board do you consider a "Marxist"?

According to the Daily Caller, Trump issued a scathing indictment of “The Boss” in a social media post:

“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy,” Trump wrote.

“Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country,” Trump said.

“If I wasn’t elected, it would have been GONE by now! ” he added.

 

[skye]

Trump continued to blast Springsteen.

“Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)?” he wrote.''
