Cummings was infamous within the punk rock community as one of a very few conservatives, and a staunch supporter of the Republican Party. Cummings made his political affiliation known to the world in 2002, when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After thanking all who made the honor possible — clad in his trademark T-shirt, ripped blue jeans and leather jacket — he said "God bless President Bush, and God bless America.[9] He said in an interview, when questioned on his conservatism, "I think Ronald Reagan was the best President of my lifetime." This was evident in 1985 when the band released the UK single Bonzo Goes To Bitburg; Cummings pressed for a name change, finding the title insulting to Reagan, and the song was retitled on American releases as "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" after a line from the song's chorus. In this same interview he dubiously claimed that "Punk is right wing".
Cummings is quoted by The Observer as saying: "People drift towards liberalism at a young age, and I always hope they change when they see how the world really is."[10]

In 2002, the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which specifically named Dee Dee, Johnny, Joey, Tommy, and Marky. At the ceremony, the surviving inductees spoke on behalf of the band. Tommy spoke first, saying how honored the band felt, but how much it would have meant for Joey. Johnny thanked the band's fans and blessed George W. Bush and his presidency, Dee Dee humorously congratulated and thanked himself, while Marky thanked Tommy for influencing his drum style. Green Day played "Teenage Lobotomy" and "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a tribute, demonstrating the Ramones' continuing influence on later rock musicians. The ceremony was one of Dee Dee's last public appearances; on June 5, 2002, two months later, he was found at his Hollywood home, dead from a heroin overdose.[5]

Johnny Ramones asked people to vote for Georges W Bush on conservative-punk.com

The Misfits, another shitty punk band, are behind Conservative Punk movement.

an interessing article translated from french to english with google translate :

Nobody ↑ :

A few hours of the appointment of the new master of the world, NoiseNews.net focuses on a micro-recent phenomenon: the political institutionalization of American Punk Rock.

Yesterday, one turns the Inrocks Info: Linda Cummings, Joey Ramone's widow declared himself Republican, and announced that the Ramones would have supported McCain. Immediately, Joey's brother Mickey Leigh (also president of the Ramones Production) rectified by specifying that Linda Cummings could not in any way speak for the Ramones, and it was highly unlikely that the author of The KKK Took my baby away to be stored in the Republican camp.

Yet this is not the first time the gang name New York is associated with political conservatism.

The homepage of the Conservative Punk website
In 2004, Johnny Ramone had joined the camp of the Conservative Punk launched by Michale Graves, who was lead singer of The Misfits in their period of decay following the departure of Glenn Danzig. This curious collection, primarily by the Federated website a little scary, was actually initiated in response to the site Punk Voter, and Rock Against Bush compilations, assembled Fat Mike, NOFX bassist / vocalist firmly committed the Democratic side. Johnny Ramone, rest his soul, died less than two months before the reelection of George W. Bush in 2004.

Thus, anarchism's original punk-rock has melted in bipartisanship. Surprised? Not so on, just a sign of the times in fact. The study sites of the two movements can update the line of discrimination. It is simple, it aims to war in Iraq.

The homepage of the website Punk Voting
For the camp Punk Voter, not surprisingly, Iraq is another Vietnam, while for Conservative Punk, this is a fight for freedom. The novelty is therefore that both are acting on the institutional terrain, by openly supporting a candidate and a party. NOFX, Fat Mike of the band, like Jello Biaffra (former lead singer of Dead Kennedys, and also founder of the nomination of the Green Party and Ralph Nader in 2000 cons) had previously shown by words over radical, openly hostile to the ultra-liberalism, and exploitation of the South by the northern ones. All things, were they the best they have a purpose? even the rebellion? Or a time of crisis he justifies a choice, which would have been perceived as between plague and cholera 10 years ago?

Still, as Propagandhi, one of the leading bands of Fat Wreck Chord, the label run by Fat Mike, broke his contract and has dedicated a great irony in "Rock for a Sustainable Capitalism" for those who have them delinquent in dining soup partisan.

The cover of the compilation foul 'Operation United Forces HC
If left, the dangerous anarchists have become friendly Democrats, on the other side of the forehead, the camp of reactionary punk has also chastened [1]. There is no question of superiority of the white race as the sad hours of CAR [2]. The Conservative Punks well resemble nothing so much as good solid members to Lanre rednecks who firmly believe in the war against terrorism. But no longer Skinhead or hooded Klan power.

To have a look, Conservative Punk even seems quite symptomatic of a lack of awareness and political culture. The organization is fairly close to Operation United Forces HC, which has produced a compilation of Hardcore (very little distinction, it must be said ...) to support troops in Iraq. Among the groups present on this compilation, we are quite surprised to find 25 Ta Life, Bouncing Souls and especially in 2003, which skirted the cream of street punk compilation in a very different, to support its legal costs in a young black man wrongly accused [3] of killing a police officer: Police Against Injustice.

PS
In the early 1980s, the punk movement is radicalized on both sides of the Atlantic. Anarchism teen staunch the Sex Pistols or the Clash Socialism educated extend veganism, the antispecisme, anti-consumerism radical ... The American hardcore bands claim to a philosophy called Straight-edge. There is no question of refusing the use of drugs and even alcohol to remain vigilant against the system, and maintain his fitness in particular to be ready to fight. In anecdotal cases, the group Youth of Today will advocate abstinence to keep a vigilant spirit, free from all forms of addiction. The leader Ray Cappo then converted to Hare-Krishna, and founded, with his new group Shelter, said the style of Krishna-Core.

While the main actors of the movement: Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Minor Threat (which essentially become Fugazi) are very active in the far left, fringe, Hardcore, influenced by Bonehead [4] English will in this quasi-military discipline and the cult of the body fascist exaltation.

Thus arise two international movement: the RAC [5] and the RASH [6] (or SHARP [7]).

They still could write a mighty fine tune.

Spike one of many · 10 augusti 2022

I could never get into them. The song Pet Semetary was alright but mostly I just found them irritating. My girlfriend started listening to them at one stage... I almost broke the record.

Starfighter · 12 augusti 2022

I like a few of their songs, like Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Sedated and Bonzo Goes To Bitburgbut that's about it.

Deep inside, bands who's become posterchildren for punk is never going to sit right with me but that's nothing I tend to bring up.

Starfighter · 15 augusti 2022

Related question: Are there any bands out there mimicking the sound of Ramones but with anarchist lyrics? Like... A 90's crust Ramones? I'd love to hear that!

The Ramones music really helped me through my adolescent/s and I still listen to them today, but I never considered them punk; just rock.
All that said- Fuk All Presidents!!

Are you sure you're copying the correct link? Here's an example of an image link:
(https://(beeimg.com/images/a44269022191.jpg) Without the brackets. It should always have "https", "[img hosting site].com", a code, and usually a .jpg extension. And make sure you click the "image" button (next to the "media" button, which you use to post videos).
