"I think George Bush is a wonderful, competent leader and I believe that he is bringing this country on a right and just course and he understands the true nature of evil."
Punk came out of a frustration with what many urban youths saw as the ineffectualness of hippie-style liberalism, and embraced an inflammatory iconography — like swastikas and military leathers — as a statement against the peace movement, and everything else mainstream for that matter.
In some ways, the punk world has become consumed by the same sort of angry right-vs.-left feuding that has divided the rest of America for years, complete with venomous name-calling, charges of betrayal and treason, and the occasional death threat.
