I'm still dithering about on this one. I can - and have - make music with some right wingers- but if s/he sang a song that spelt out a view that I don't adhere to, I'm gonna make sure that the very next song is a bleedin' liberal one. And it had better be just ONE song. Music is not a competition.

Actually, this has happened. It has also happened that a 'new' person came to our Friday night jam, someone that I personally knew was very conservative, and was bombarded with songs and conversation that made him visibly uncomfortable. In most cases, those people tend to be one-timers.

We have never had an argument or even a debate on the right vs left wings. (That is one of my main objections to right wingers- are they all nonverbal and inarticulate? Do they all just spout the stuff they have been force fed?)

I guess that for me it boils down to: If I have the right to require the neocon to sing my kind of material, does s/he have the right to require me to sing the opposing view? Nah, I don't think so.
