Ronin Profile: Pantera
Posted by Frank J. at 08:18 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (15)
Pantera
Let's meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it's Pantera.

* * * *

What's the story behind your name? Well, I choose Pantera because they were one of the few good metal bands in history that never thought they were smart enough to talk about politics. That, and my real name sounds a lot like Pantera.

Where do you live? Chattanooga, TN

How old are you? I was born around the time Clinton was first elected, so that makes me about 15.

[Man, I was entering high school then... and I make other people feel young. -Ed.]

Tell us briefly about yourself. When I was born, we had to move down to Tennessee from Virginia for my own safety. I'll never know why we moved, but it may have had something to do with the fact I was a newborn baby in a 500 mile radius of Hillary Clinton. I don't remember anything else from Clinton's reign except a subtle sense of evil whenever the news came on. I started actually paying attention to politics around the 2004 election. I just couldn't understand why on earth we would elect someone who would want to deliberately lose a war. Since then, I've become slightly addicted to conservative blogs and heavy metal (which don't usually go together) and am a level 18 undead warrior on WoW.

How long have you been reading IMAO? Probably 2 years. I first came here when I saw your T-shirts on thoseshirts.com

What's your favorite IMAO post? Probably the IMW where God comes down from Heaven and proceeds to beat Saudi Arabia with the nation of Syria. That line will crack me up until the day I die.

If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Funnier than everything-else (that's one word).

What's your favorite political issue? Being an armchair general, I 'd have to say the war in Iraq. Given all the left knows about war is what they see on T.V. ( and barely even that) it's sometimes difficult to understand how mind-numbingly retarded some of the left's ideas about war are. Take for example, the idea that having less soldiers is a better strategy than more soldiers. I'm pretty sure General Robert E. Lee never said he would have won Gettysburg if he just had less troops. Or how surrendering will actually lead to victory.

Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Regrettably, no. I still have to go to school and I'd probably waste all my time reading blogs instead of posting them.

Name a stance you can't have and be called a Republican. If you watch those Apache gun-camera videos and think of anything other than how awesome they are, you can't be a Republican. Or if you raise taxes for any reason besides to get more funding for the military.

* * * *

If you commented in the last post asking for entrants, you're still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated thus far; just because you may not think you're interesting doesn't mean we won't enjoy your story.

Rating: 2.5/5 (5 votes cast)

I resent the fact you think I'm not a Republican because I think how sexy those videos are.

I agree about the general awesomeness that was Pantera (the band; R.I.P Dimebag)- The Great Southern Trendkill is one of my all-time favorite albums.

Good to have you here, Pantera!

#2 - Posted by: AlanABQ on January 16, 2008 08:48 PM

Whoa - you sure fooled me on your age. I had you for 30 or so. Nice bio.

#3 - Posted by: Jimmy on January 16, 2008 09:04 PM

I agree about the Apache videos. I love the fact that our military helps the muslims meet their virgins.

Hey! Someone younger than me!

My main is a 45 human warlock, but I have a few other characters under 10 (mostly horde) on different servers... part of the reason I'm only 45 now.

Great to meet ya.

Nerds!

Man, I love Apaches. The only way to make an Apache more awesome is to have Fred Thompson pilot it while John Wayne operates the weapons.

You shouldn't undersetimate the number of conservative metal heads. We abound; we just don't necessarily look or sound like the stereotype.

#8 - Posted by: Raving Lunatic on January 17, 2008 08:24 AM

Good bio Pantera, and thanks for reminding me of that IMW. It has one of my favorite lines

I thought You were supposed to be benevolent!" exclaimed a panicked reporter.
"You're thinking of Jesus," God chuckled

and I make other people feel young. -Ed.

Frank, you make other people feel mature.

#10 - Posted by: Laserlight on January 17, 2008 03:02 PM

There are more conservative metalheads than you'd think out there ... several in the TN/AL/GA area, actually, who I met back when I went to college in TN.

Additionally, Chris Pervelis from Internal Bleeding is a die-hard Reaganite conservative, and a badass musician.

Always great to see we still exist, especially in the younger generation!

And if you want a good laugh, check out Razor White. It's Phil's band before Pantera.

Stay brutal!

Eh, I prefer City of Heroes/City of Villains. No lame-ass corpse runs.

I just happened to be listening to 'Strength Beyond Strength' and came across the Ronin Profile for Pantera. Coincidence?
