Just because your anit-war doesn't mean that you hate Christians and Jews. That is the most stupid remark I've ever seen. Also just because he may be anti-war doesn't mean that his music is bad. Everybody should be anti-war and no one should support dying.

It's so great to see such an intelligent man using his talent to stand up for Truth, Justice, and the REAL American way. It's comforting to know we still have heroes.

When Jesus gave his sermon on the mount...they ask him which of the ten commandments was the most important.....he said, "Love thy neighbor". That means love EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD. DEATH TO WAR.

Gandhi also said, "BE the change you want to see in the world." It's neither Christian nor moral to support corruption & lies. "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical," Thomas Jefferson. Yes, there is a REAL sacrifice to be made in speaking out, AND THEN WALKING your talk, against the beast. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" Ben Franklin.

I wonder how many in the anti-war movement support with "their" taxes that which they morally oppose? Al Haig, Secretary of State under Reagan, has been quoted as saying, "Let them march (i.e. protest) all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes." Gandhi was a proponent of withholding of taxes that supported tyrannical ends. Jesus overthrew, two different times, the tables of dishonest, monopolistic profiteers. If those who oppose injustice would stop supporting it, it would end.

@Conail23 "These anti-war people" are just 75% of the American public anyway. Who cares. All of them are godless unpatriotic anti-American leftists who stomp of the flag and hate Christians and Jews and are closet terrorists or, worse, Muslims, and want to destroy your freedom and eat your babies. Ah, those pesky Americans, to hell with them, they care only about disturbing their government in its noble pursuit of freedom, oil and democracy for the world.Down with the people & Ben Harper! lalala

They behead ppl, we blow them to tiny bits, they rape (as if Americans NEVER do) Stone them for adultery? Not in Iraq Conail.. at least not BEFORE we invaded.. our invasion gives those fanatics MORE POWER not less. Most of it is not perpetrated by us though often times perpetuated by our governments policy! The fact that you said MOST shows that you know that SOME of what is going on that is messed up IS perpetrated by US. We The People of America are responsible for what is done in OUR NAME.

[Unclecookoo]

First, the system is FAR from perfect. Second, I am also VERY anti-war yet PRO-STRONG military. Nothing was defensive about INVADING Iraq.. NOT ONE THING. Allow Muslims?.. and other? Fanatical white boys blew up a building in Oklahoma, did you know what religion they followed? Did you/do you care? Do you know or care what religion the guy that crashed a plane into the IRS building was? It is convenient to forget our governments agression and focus on teh crimes of others.

[DrMcSex]
