Wut.
As for the rest of your post, I could not pinpoint exactly what you were trying to say but it sounded like you don't think Rise Against are a political band (mixed in with your generic rant against Republicans that I partially agree with but have heard a million times before). Rise Against are absolutely a political band, and just because more of their songs concern social issues, that doesn't make them any less preachy. They were involved with Punkvoter and Rock Against Bush, they consistently bring their politics and statistics into their stage banter, and pen songs about animal rights, child labour, and blind patriotism, among others.
