ICED EARTH / SONS OF LIBERTY's Jon Schaffer Talks American Politics - "I Vote No More Evil; I'm Sick Of The Lies From Both Parties"







ICED EARTH / SONS OF LIBERTY guitarist / founder Jon Schaffer is featured in a new interview with www.SleazeRoxx.com. An excerpt from the discussion is available below.

Sleaze Roxx: You've shied away from talking about politics in the past while promoting your music. Was it because you were misquoted on a couple of occasions? I think most people got the idea that you are a Republican.

Jon Schaffer: "I used to be in the mindset that one party was the lesser of two evils. Now, I vote no more evil. I'm sick of the lies from both parties, they both have betrayed the American people and are responsible for the dire straits the country is in. I have voted Republican and independent in the past because I've always been a constitutional conservative. However, I don't trust the rhetoric from any politician anymore. I am watching these people like a hawk, and that's what we all need to be doing. These are professional liars in most cases, and we need to throw out the establishment scum from both parties."

Sleaze Roxx: Do you think that the Sons Of Liberty would be well received in other countries? Or do you care for that matter?

Jon Schaffer: "This is a worldwide issue and I think it's crucial that everyone that desires liberty get informed about what is happening. If the USA goes into full-blown tyranny it will be devastating for the rest of the world. Almost every nation on Earth is controlled by the same global elite, and through seizing the money supply of the nations of the world they have corrupted all of our governments and institutions. We need to focus on the manipulators and get past their puppets if we're ever going to turn things around."

Since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison.
