Punk rock never offers answers, It focuses on the anger and anxiety we all feel when we see our country suffer. The truth of the matter is Rise Against has always been a far left band and I admire that in the day and age when ignorant conservatives launch full scale witch hunts against liberals. You've have written a very fine piece expressing concern over this video's suggestive theme, but parts of it are just juvenile. Throwing in the President's middle name is ignorant and shows a lack of substance. Maybe I don't want something as radical as the burning of Chicago, but I would like to see the stats/problems in this video dealt with. I may not be a radical, but I must say I align myself with their perspective more than that of the Tea Party or the current controlling faction of the Republicans, and fussing over a video that calls them all out does nothing either.
