#!%^!#^!  hypocrites!  Don't mess with their free speech, but don't dare exercise your own.

Thank God I never bough any of this punks records.  He's not that good anyway.

Oh great...now I suppose O will name Cougar as the Czar of the 1st Amendment next.

So John thinks that I'm not entitled to freedom of speech. Well, John, here's a news flash for you. Me and my fellow veterans are more entitled to freedom of speech than you are, since we put our butts on the line and you didn't.

Being able to speak our piece about anything we want is our right. A right that you and every other liberal have no control over, much as you would like to control it. Here are a couple of things that you can go practice at: 1. packing sand and 2. frying ice; and if you really want to get real good with your dancing techniques, go play in a mine field.

I got something that you could do as a nice free gesture for our Military men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan; go over and give them free concerts, if you got the guts. (Somehow, I don't think you will.)

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.

If Mellencamp has a brain, he must keep it in a pickel jar on his dresser.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

Dear Mr. John Mellencamp Cougar Mellencamp,

We in the collective have collectively concluded that your comments do not reflect the opinion of the collective. Since this is the way you yourself  believe, then it is necessary for you to cease talking now. You can continue to breathe, just don't talk. Should you violate your own opinion, more punitive measures to shut you up may occur.

If this a-hole ever does put out another album (which is not yet another compilation), I demand the right to have two of MY songs on it.

And yes, I am a published musician. 

This one always gets under my skin:

Remember Hillary in 2003?

I am sick and tired of people who call you unpatriotic if you debate this administration’s policies. We are Americans and have the right to participate and debate any administration.

I remember, time and time again, hearing so many versions of that line - usually this one: "That #$#?&^* Bush (or Cheney - completely interchangeable) stated that you are unpatriotic if you don't support the war, etc."  Neither actually ever said that, but it didn't stop the presses.

So, I don't know - did someone of note in the Bush administration every say what Hillary (and so many others) kept claiming? Did some conservative pundit actually say that? OK. Probably somebody said something like that in the heat of the political battle. What I do remember, is that the press kept leveling the charge at the administration (and at others) and the Bush administration kept repeating the same thing - 'they did not make such a statement - and they do not support such talk.'

Yet it lives on. It has a life of it's own, because that is what the MSM and leaders of the Democrt party want the people to believe. It's how they promote hate and distrust and division.

In the meantime, it is those like Mellencamp, who are acting unpatriotic.

"Mellencamp's only vice is his well-known cigarette habit. He used to smoke four packs a day until a 1994 heart attack forced him to cut down to about a pack a day, and he's frequently spoken out about his disdain for drugs."

A true genius.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin! The Cougar should have him in mind for his group spokesperson, and then look for a modern day version. They're all over the place. The White House, Congress. Lenin did a great job for the Bolsheviks. Got a little bloody, but hey, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet. Right?

John Mellencamp is a liberal idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. He's a sheltered, spoiled, disinformed tool - which is just what the Democratic Party needs to be in power.

That eight grade education will show up every time, especially if you didn't pay attention in class. What a world class dumbbutt! Just when you think he can not possibly outdo the last stupid thing he said he comes along and surprises you with something even more stupid. I am sure he thinks he has really said something profound and intelligent. Hey, John, you are STOOOOPID. Be quiet, maybe no one will notice.

Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!

Without his elevators, John is about 4'11".

John Lennon and Niel Young, two of my favorite artists of all time despite the fact I disagree with their politics.  But I never, ever, understood why any of this guy's work became hits.  Different strokes I guess.

"But somehow it’s turned into ‘I can be an a****** whenever I feel like, say whatever I like, be disrespectful to people and not be courteous.’"

Yes, THIS I very much agree with...... but:

A) This is a problem that's rooted mostly -- as we all know -- in the counter-culture and down-with-the-man -advocating leftist party.

B) Some semblance of manners, common courtesy, not wielding the F-bomb with impunity, etc., has nothing to do with free speech, and everything to do with our social environment... which, again, leads back to which party is dumbing things down a lot more, promoting and further enabling bad behavior, and discouraging real independent thought.

Liberals are hypocrites and projectors on such a level, it's truly mind-boggling. 

You're the next contestant on...
THE MESSIAH IS... LEFT !!

As a musician, I love to play Cougar's tunes (Tom Petty's, too) because they are so very ''rock''.  It a shame people like this Cat-Guy can't just shut-up and sing.

Interesting that Hillary is brought up in a discussion concerning the First Amendment. My wife and I talk about this every time we see her face. We believe her constant hounding about all republicans and conservertives began the great divide in this nation. So many of her complaints were unfounded and untrue ( vast right wing conspiracy, for example). She implied that at least half of this nation were her and Bill's enemies. The split grew from there. The  "liberal", biased media, of course, is mostly to blame for it now. They keep it up and its not going to stop any time soon. It's sad.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Two hoosiers - first David Shuster - and now John Mellencamp - are giving all of us hoosiers a bad name.

In the middle 80's, he gave a free concert in Ft. Wayne for those of us that filled sandbags. I, for one, didn't go, even for free. I'm embarrassed that he's a Hoosier. I bet he has nightmares every night cause Indiana went for Bush both terms.

He doesn't believe in the rights of an INDIVIDUAL to speak out.  Wow.  So which group was he nominated to speak for?  Shouldn't he shut the hell up then??

I'd love to know how he feels about all those people saying mean things about Sarah Palin.  Was that wrong too?

The sad thing is that he obviously, with all his heart, believes everything he said.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).

Like we really listen to idiots like him.

The key phrase in Mellonhead's exceptionally childish tantrum is:

"I don't think..."

Yeah, ya got that right ya collectivist Nazi slash Stalinist jerk.

Sure, free speech is a gang of people gathering together collectively to agree with whatever Mellonhead says.

On the one hand who gives a flying eff what a spectacularly whiney doofus like this mental midget says.

On the other, there's a cold wind of thought-control growing here. And it's being led by the usual suspects in every totalitarian movement that ever flexed its people crushing evil intent.

THE ELITES.

This is what the US constitution was crafted to stymie. An elite gang of counter-revolutionaries, forcing its collective will on the people.

But, as Mark Levin points out regularly, all the firewalls in the constitution have now been breached by leftists. It's been a long process but we are now here at the place the marxians have wet-dreamed over since the Woodrow Wilson administration.

That's why useful idiots like Mellonhead have to be CONFRONTED, or at least commented upon.

How many liberals does it take to screw up a country?
Not as many as you'd think.

...Mellencamp, whatever your name is these days. Choosing to act like an a$$hole and make any comments we'd like is EXACTLY the purpose of the first amendment. It gives us the right to say what we, as an individual, feel about things. Isn't it ironic that this buffoon is spouting about collectivist speech, all while he speaks his mind as an individual. Leftist hypocrisy at its core.

President Obama is nothing more than a lying empty suit; a Hollywood
style special effects smoke and mirrors show that has shown itself to
be a total fraud.  

WAKE UP AMERICA! SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION!
