The Best Republican Assistance

This Post First Ran in October, 2005!

Hollywood’s actors are the best promoters the Republican Party has!




I am sick and tired of Hollywood’s elite “emoting” with their half-baked ideas on American politics. More often than not, their “pearls of wisdom” are counterfeit, and much less than wise, quite often exposing the unfathomable depths of their ignorance of the representative republic the forefathers planned for us.

To attend a paid performance of one of these Hollywood pundits and, right in the middle of the performance you paid for, have them rattle of their leftist views of the Republican Party is in the poorest of tastes. But whoever thought taste and class was present in the culture of Hollywood.

Have you noticed how their political diatribes bear remarkable likenesses to rehashed communist propaganda film dialogue from the 1950’s? Is that a coincidence? I wonder.

The thing is, you see, once I have heard one of these intellectual lightweights spout their hate of Conservatives it is never out of my mind when viewing, or listening, to them practice their art. An actor who spews hatred for the President, for instance, and then asks me to accept him as the character he is currently portraying on the big screen, or the TV screen, is asking me to do the impossible. I cannot do it.

I wonder, has this hurt them at the box office. Has this hurt them in their pocketbooks yet, for it surely will? The pain will be even more intense amongst those who put up the money for the production of those terribly expensive productions. The question then arises, how long will the moneymen, and money women, of Hollywood put up with the loose lips of the left wing activists of the acting community of Hollywood?

Many of us, myself included, will not watch a movie, even on TV, in which a left wing activist is starring. I cannot get past their “air headedness”. I mean these are people hired to play a part because they are good at “pretending” they are somebody else. How do we know when the acting, the pretending, stops and the real person, if there is one there, steps forward?

I am convinced that one of the reasons the Liberal left is so prominent in Hollywood is the tendency of liberals to base their politics on feelings, on emotions, not fact and reality. Actors, you see, make a living emoting, using their emotions and playing upon the ‘feelings’ of the public. It, then, is the most natural thing in the world for emoting actors to hook-up with a political party of emotions. One could hardly be surprised at that.

In the days of the Hollywood studios, actors who made their politics known, let alone publicly supported one political party, or the other, would quickly find himself, or herself, without a contract and out on the street. Why, because it hurts business. Plain and simple.

So, next time Hollywood wants to realistically look at why their revenue from motion pictures is down, maybe they ought to take a look at the political causes their actor’s associate themselves with, and then compare the actor’s politics with the politics of the majority of Americans. They will be surprised. We won’t… but they will.

“Freedom of Speech”, they yell! Of course it is. They have the freedom to speak anything they want. But… I have the freedom not to listen, and, in the case of the actors, not to buy a ticket to one of their movies.

A lot of Americans are exercising that last “right” these days.
