I intend this as a serious question, but the punchline opportunities abound.

It's pretty obvious that a sizable majority of 'Catters are of the progressive stripe, yet the site was devised to be about the music.

When folkies gather anywhere, it's implicit that liberalism permeates the room, be they traditional songsters or acoustic singer/writers.

My question is whether any form, genre, or style of music exhibits an unofficial membership of conservatives.

The quick answer is country music, but I've been close enough to the genre to suspect that the pseudo-patriotic Bible-thumpers might not outnumber their opposite; they're just louder. Most of the country-market writers I've encountered, in Nashville and elsewhere, seem to be biting their political lips.

Obviously it's okay to be whimsical here. (As far as I'm concerned, whimsy is ALWAYS okay.)

Thoughts?
