Aaron Lewis wears Oath Keepers hat during Jimmy Kimmel show

[VegasPatriot]

Aaron Lewis (from the band Staind) was performing not too long ago here in Vegas and one of my friends thought it would be a good idea to give him some Oath Keepers gear, since Aaron seems to be a liberty minded kind of guy. Turns out it was a great idea.

This was the song that gave my friend the idea that Aaron would support liberty organizations like Oath Keepers.

Here is a link on how we got OK gear in the hands of Aaron Lewis:D

The name "Oath Keepers" calls to mind that religious men's group the "Promise Keepers".

Not a big fan of the band but I gained a whole lot of respect for them after this. Good stuff!

Staind will be playing a 9/11 charity show tonight at 9pm (eastern) and hopefully he will be wearing Oath Keepers gear for this show.

And if Aaron Lewis is down with OK's message... then he is probably a Ron Paul supporter as well. Maybe we can get some RP gear in his hands so he can help spread the word.

Here is a link to the Staind website which has a live feed to the 9/11 show and also has upcoming tour dates. Let's get some RP gear to Aaron!

Aaron Lewis is a registered Republican.[6] He is a constitutional conservative and opposes high taxes

I also read that he is NOT a "tea party" guy or a 9/12er.

So I would guess he's one of us, or pretty damn close.

Definitely cool that he sports the OK gear. I don't know much about him, but occasionally I tune into the Andrew Wilkow show on XM, who is a big fan of Lewis', and occasionally has him on. Wilkow is pretty good on economics/money, etc., but I've heard him say that there's nothing unconstitutional about the patriot act, and he's a supporter of the foreign wars. I once heard him say he'd be fine if they doubled the "defense" budget. I almost wrecked my truck.

I've thought of sending him the Judge Napolitano on the patriot act tube, but I doubt it'd be worth it.

Don't know where Lewis stands on those issues, though.

Q&A with Aaron Lewis:

How would you describe your political beliefs?

I’m a Constitutionalist. I believe in the constitution, the powers that it sets forth, I believe in the limited powers that it sets forth. I believe that the government – on both sides – is just as responsible and just as out of control.

The fact of the matter is that the federal government is supposed to be doing 18 things efficiently and properly. Most of these things don’t even get looked at because they’re so busy doing stuff that they’re not even supposed to be doing. Everything is supposed to be on the state and local level.

Why does all the money from the state go to Washington, D.C., first before it comes back to the state? There are so many things broken about a system that was so amazing and so perfect on conception, that the creation of this country and the document that created it made this country the most sought after place in the world for many, many years.

Somewhere along the way as a society we lost all the values that made this country great to begin with. (Like) going out and working for a dollar and working hard to earn your keep and expecting nothing from anyone, expecting no hand-outs, knowing that nothing in life is free. All these things have just vanished. I mean, look at MTV.

They should all be burned at the stake for what they’re doing, for the programming they’re putting forward for our children to watch. There are so many things that have been allowed to just get so far out of control that the only way to fix it is to go back to the design.

This whole entitlement society that we live in today. Everybody thinks that they’re supposed to get something. Where did that come from? I don’t understand. I don’t understand how people today can think that somebody’s going to provide for them.

Have your politics pretty much always been the same or have they have evolved with time, and if so were they any particular incidents that changed your world view?

I guess looking back as a teenager I was always kind of rebellious, anti-government (and) anti-establishment like so many punk-ass kids, I was no different.

I’ve had jobs that I was paid under the table for, just like everybody has. But, I have a family, I have a career. I work very, very hard for my money, and I sacrifice a lot to earn a living, to keep food on my table and to keep a roof over my family’s head.

For someone who chooses to do nothing with their life, to be able to participate in the fruits of my labor is completely unacceptable to me. It’s one thing if I choose to involve you into the fruits of my labor, whether it’s because you are utilizing this wonderful system of capitalism and you’ve figured a way to create a job within what it is that I’m doing or whether I charitably invite you in, that’s my choice and it’s the choice of every free citizen in these United States.

Nobody is going to tell me that the government knows better as to what to do with my money than I do. I do so much without being told to do it, I don’t need to be told to provide for a bunch of people that wouldn’t get off their ass and provide for themselves. That would be like being in high school and studying your ass off to make sure that you got an A in a test and then the guy who did nothing but party all week and blew off studying gets an F and you both get Cs because he gets to share in your hard work.

It’s not right. Life isn’t fair. It’s not all roses. It’s hard work. Life is commitment; life is diligence.

Your name has frequently been brought up as being tied to the Tea Party movement.

The funny thing with that is because I make mention to the Gadsden flag in “Country Boy,” everybody just assumed I’m a Tea Party member.

Y’know that Gadsden flag stood for something. It was in defiance of England and in defiance of those who chose to keep us underneath their thumb. I had “Don’t Tread on Me,” tattooed across my throat before the Tea Party ever jumped on the whole Gadsden flag thing.

Y’know, I love my country. It’s the best country in the world. I’ve been all over the world, and this is the best country in the world, and I’m very proud of that.

On my bicep I have a big waving American flag that has encrypted over the top of it “Proudly made in the U.S.A.” I don’t think it’s political. I love my country. It’s patriotic.

[AGRP]

Im amazed they allowed him to do that considering how tyrannical the music industry is!

On ABC?!!!!

Get those sheep! GET EM!!!!

[AFPVet]

That's freaking awesome!

Staind 9/11 Benefit Concert Video (http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/09/15/staind-911-benifit-concert-streaming-live/)


The rock band Staind did a 9-11 Benefit Concert in New York City tonight, to benefit the New York Police and Fire Widow’s and Children’s benefit fund. Once again, lead singer Aaron Lewis wore his Oath Keepers hat. All of the military, police and fire personnel here at Oath Keepers express our sincere thanks to Aaron, both for doing this benefit concert and also for wearing an Oath Keepers hat. We think it is very fitting for him to wear that hat during such a concert, since on 9-11 there were many who kept their oaths among those who died – men who were going into the burning towers and up those stairs while others were running out. Whenever you need an example of American courage, think of them.


Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13.


The concert starts at about 20 min into the video(follow the link above to watch the concert)
