Awright! I'm still waiting Molly, how did we not live up to our end of the bargain?
Since I'm gonna say a few words about Hollywood, John Hawkins at Right Wing News has pointed out a Hollywood connection to terrorism. As he said, "Somebody had to do it."
Turns out that there is is a fine Hollywood whine.
Let's see, Susan Sarandon is whining about how people are calling her unpatriotic because she is anti-war. No, Susan, people are calling you unpatriotic because you are a bloody hate America first, socialist. The irony here is that if she got the gummint she wanted, she would not be free to mouth off about how bad the gummint was. She also wouldn't be a rich actress because she would have no skills in a socialist society other than sweeping streets or maybe cleaning toilets. Now wouldn't that be a sight to see? Barbra Streisand and Susan Sarandon on their knees cleaning toilets when, of course, they would rather be on their knees servicing a toilet like Bill Clinton.
Sean Penn is all upset. He claims he lost a movie role because he went to Baghdad. Hey Sean! Maybe you didn't realize that we are soon gonna be at war with Iraq. Going to Baghdad is like going to Berlin in 1941 and saying what a nice guy Hitler was. You're a dipshit. STFU!
Woody Harrelson is a case where the character he played on Cheers is actually smarter than the real Woody. After reading his twaddle in al-Guardian, where if he were in charge he would 'honour Kyoto' (which would make us a third world country), 'join the world court' (which would make us subject to the rules of other third world countries), 'shut down the nuclear power plants' (If we're a third world country we sure wouldn't need any electricity would we?), and 'cut the defence budget in half' (If we're a third world country we sure as fuck wouldn't need any defense would we?). Woody get on your knees and join Susan and Barbra in cleaning out those toilets, because in the country you envision, that would be all you'd be good for.
And then we come to Martin Sheen. Marty is upset because he is getting hate mail about his position on the war. Poor widdle Martin. Is poor widdle ou all upset? Is all the mail from the mean people gettin poor widdle ou all upset? It's called free speech Marty. You exercise your right of free speech by speaking out against the upcoming war and the people exercise their right of free speech by telling you that you suck. And now you're worried that all the protesting will cause the suits at your network to take some sort of action about your show the Left Wing. And you're screaming McCarthyism and blacklisting.
First off, let me say that I have never seen the Left Wing. I do not like watching movies or series with Hollywood's version of the President of the United States. Hollywood likes to depict the president that they wish Clinton had been: Liberal, brave, and honest. As we know, Clinton was not liberal (Clinton's politics were whatever got Clinton elected), brave (BWAHAHAHAHA!), or honest (BWHAHAHAHA!).
Anyway, back to Marty and the other whining Hollywood nitwits. There is a difference between blacklisting and boycotting. Now, it's the conservative actors who are being blacklisted. What the commie actors are starting to discover is that they are really out of touch with real Americans and the real Americans, those of us who love our country, are beginning to get fed up with socialist bastards like Martin Sheen, Mike Farrell (Has he done anything since MASH?), Susan Sarandon, and all the others of their ilk. There is now talk of boycotting them and the movies or TV series that they are in.
I have done my part. I never watched a Jane Fonda movie after she went to Viet Nam. As far as I'm concerned, she is a traitor who should have been given a fair trial and then shot for treason. I very seldom go to movies anymore, but I will refuse to watch any television program with the likes of Martin Sheen and any other of the commie Hollywoood nitwits. Since I watch very little television anyway, that won't be too hard.
Yes, it is a free country, and they are free to speak out against the war. And I am free to call them assholes and refuse to support them by not watching their shows, not buying their record albums, or not paying to see their movies.
And if they do not like hearing people call them un-American, it's just too fucking bad. Freedom of speech works both ways.
Quit whining!
